The biscuits are already baked. The coffee is already brewed. Sit down at 7:05 and you can be out the door by 7:45 with a full plate behind you.

Who comes in at 7am

In and out before the job starts. Loaded biscuits and gravy is the most-ordered plate at this hour.
Golfers
Early tee times at Spurwing, BanBury, and TimberStone. Eat at 7, play at 9.
Road trippers
Folks heading to McCall, Sun Valley, or out of state. Fuel up before the drive.

Before commute. Counter seating is fastest — 12 minutes in and out.
Church-goers
Pre-service breakfast. Sundays at 7–8am are calm.
Retirees with a paper
Counter regulars. Same booth, same order, every morning. The bedrock.

Fastest at the counter

Sit at the counter for the quickest experience. The kitchen is right behind it — your ticket goes up the moment you order, and your plate slides across in under 15 minutes for most breakfast items. Counter seating is also where the regulars sit, so expect friendly small talk if you want it (and a server who'll let you read your phone in peace if you don't).

What's ready at 7am

Everything. The flat-top has been hot for 30+ minutes. Biscuits have been baking since 6am. Gravy has been simmering since 6:15. Coffee is brewing every 30 minutes from open to close. Hash browns are already on the griddle. There's no "not ready yet" at 7am — the kitchen has been prepping since 5:30.

Open every day of the year

Same hours every day, including:

• Saturdays and Sundays (7am to 2pm, same)
• Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year's Day
• Thanksgiving (open until 2pm, then closed so the team can be home)
• 4th of July, Memorial Day, Labor Day
• MLK Day, Presidents' Day, Veterans Day

The only times we close are emergencies — extreme weather (icy roads), power outage, or a one-off staff emergency. If you're worried about hours, call ahead at (208) 957-6308.

Big breakfast for early starters

Most early plates pair a hearty protein with something carb-heavy:

• Loaded Biscuits and Gravy — heavy enough for a 10-hour day
• Country breakfast — chicken-fried steak or ham steak with two eggs, hash browns, and toast
• Build-your-own omelette — three eggs, your fillings, hash browns and toast
• Tall stack of pancakes with bacon — sugar and carbs to power through the morning
• Eggs Benedict — the lighter option, but still filling

7am sharp. Every day. The Capri is open.
