In today’s world, it seems like websites are a necessity for businesses to stay alive and grow. But that’s not always the case. In fact, there is one humble, delightful family restaurant in Boise, Idaho that has been around for decades and still doesn’t have its own website. Merritt’s Family Restaurant is one of the best and oldest restaurants in the Treasure Valley. It definitely doesn’t look like much, but it offers a meal like no other.

The Merritt’s Family Restaurant opened its doors in the 1970s. It specializes in homestyle cooking and serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner - and each meal is divine.
