Unassuming cafe serving hearty breakfast & old-school American comfort fare since 1974.

To be completely honest, I only come here once a year—when I bring my teaching staff downtown for breakfast. But Honkers LeBron Café has become such a valued tradition for us that when I recently tried to suggest another option… my staff emphatically said NO .
This little hidden gem in downtown Nampa offers exactly what you want in a breakfast spot: a great variety of menu items, homemade comfort food, generous portions, and excellent value. On top of that, the staff is always friendly, welcoming, and provides great service.
Thank you for giving us a place we look forward to year after year. Traditions like this matter, and you’ve nailed it.

Been here a few times and the food here is always good. Coffee is always fresh and strong. Staff is friendly, nice and very professional. The wait for breakfast is a bit but that’s only because it’s always busy.

We hadn’t been to Honkers in quite some time, after moving further away from Nampa. Honkers used to be my husband’s go to diner, he has taken many friends there over the years. We were in town and decided to drop in. Since our last visit the hours have changed, they close early on weekdays (2pm) But we made it just in time. The service is wonderful and the food is just how we remember it, home style and yummy! We’ve celebrated a couple Birthdays here over the years too, the service is top tier, they made my little girl birthday pancakes one year, and on this visit they loaded up a bag full of pancakes, on the house at the end of our meal. Exceptional customer service! We scoured downtown for needy folks to hand them out to but unlike years past we couldn’t find a single.soul. That’s a good thing though, hopefully everyone had a safe place to be. Honkers also has a punch card now, so go, run, give some love to this gem in the heart of Nampa!

Food was great service was kind of off.
We were seated quickly even on a Saturday morning. Took 15 minutes to get a cup of coffee, they said they kept running out?!
While all the other tables had crafts of coffee we didn’t. She didn’t check on us after we got our food. Had to ask someone else for coffee.

Tried this for the first time. It’s mainly a breakfast place, but the do have some lunch and dinner options. My oldest daughter and her friend ordered the Big Breakfast – 6 French toast, 1 or 2 (i don’t recall)sausage pattie, 2 eggs, and hashbrowns. My youngest got the Mini Breakfast – hotcakes, 2 eggs, 4 straps of bacon. I myself wnlanted lunch so I tried the Prime Rib French Dip with Fries. All in all the food was great. The waitress was wonderful, always checked on us throughout the course of being there. Put it on the list of places to try if you haven’t already! Got some pictures of the food after we dug in.

Man oh man. I really wanted to like this place. The servers are wonderful and the staff is great. That being said, the food isn’t worth the price. You can tell the hash browns we’re rehydrated. Glasses tasted like soap, no seasonings, even the butter tasted like a stale fridge… Very disappointing. The cherry on top is it took over 30 minutes just to pay our check. I really hope things take a turn for the better when it comes to the food quality.

4 Stars – Busy spot with solid service, mixed bag on the food
Honkers Café was poppin’ for a Thursday morning—nearly every seat was full, which is always a good sign. The host and server were both kind and attentive, even with the crowd. Service was quick, which I appreciated.
The menu, though… a little confusing. Maybe it’s just me, but commas and the word “OR” carry very different meanings and had me second-guessing what I was actually ordering.
I got the biscuits and gravy combo: biscuits were on the dry side, and the gravy needed some extra love (S&P and a hit of Cholula helped). Eggs over medium? Nailed it. Bacon? Four crispy slices of joy. French toast… something tasted a little off, couldn’t place it, but I still powered through. The hashbrowns were the weakest link—undercooked and forgettable. I didn’t ask for ‘em crispy, so that’s on me… but still, maybe toss ‘em on the grill for more than a warm-up?
All in all, the service and main breakfast staples carried the experience. I might be being generous with 4 stars, but the vibe and staff made up for the misses. Would go again, just might order differently next time.

Nice inside, warm and clean. Fast service, staff is organized and efficient. Food was good, not amazing but a place you can trust to enjoy. I will come back mainly because it’s a nice place with no wait.

I called for a takeout order and they answered right away. Their timeframe was extremely reasonable. When I walked in they were insanely busy and still got me my food quickly. They have excellent to go containers for eating on the go. I dealt with Shawn and he was awesome, and we will definitely be back.
