Kid-Friendly Breakfast in Meridian, ID

Bringing kids out for breakfast in Meridian shouldn't be a project. At The Capri, it isn't. We've been a family diner since 1943, which means everything from the high chairs to the kids' menu to the crayons at the table is already figured out. Walk in, get seated, eat, leave happy.

The kid setup

Kids' menu (6 items)

Pancakes, eggs & bacon, French toast sticks, chicken strips, grilled cheese, kid burger. All under $9 with drink.

High chairs & boosters

Stack by the host stand. Take whatever fits your kid.

Crayons at every table

Handed out with the menus. Paper placemat to color on.

Changing tables

Wall-mounted in both restrooms.

Stroller-friendly aisles

Standard stroller fits between booths. Fold or park tableside.

Fast turnaround

Most plates out in 15–20 min. Matters when kids are hungry.

What kids actually eat here

The all-time most-ordered kid plate is pancakes with bacon — a single buttermilk pancake, two strips of bacon, drink. French toast sticks for dippers. Grilled cheese with hash browns for the picky ones. Older kids skip the kids' menu and go for build-your-own omelettes from the adult menu — the kitchen will make them with two eggs and lighter fillings if you ask.

Timing the visit with kids

Easiest stretch: weekday mornings between 7 and 9am. Weekend mornings 8 to 9am is second-easiest. The busiest hour is Saturday and Sunday 9–11am — expect a 10–15 min wait. After 11:30am thins out again. If you're rolling deep (4+ kids or a birthday party), call ahead at (208) 957-6308 and we'll hold a table.

The dining-room vibe

It's a diner — happy clatter, booths, counter stools, big windows. Kids don't stand out. Servers know how to read a table with little ones — quick water refills, smiles for a tantrum, a free pancake on a birthday. The kitchen is right behind the counter, so if your kid wants to watch eggs being cracked, sit at the counter and they'll get a show.

Birthdays & special occasions

Tell your server if it's a kid's birthday and we'll do a candle and a small treat. For 8+ people, call a day or two ahead so we can set aside the big back table. No formal reservations, but we'll always try.

Real diner. Real eggs. Real kid-friendly.
