Abracadabras Pocatello - Pocatello, Idaho

Samuel Anderson

This is a quaint little breakfast restaurant. The food was great, and the service was awesome. The decore needs some help. But it is nice and comfortable. I ate eggs hashbrowns and bacon. My daughter had the French toast. The food came quickly and tasted great. I would come back.

Great service and food, I was treated very nice even when I was given something I did not order.
Be careful with the pancakes,they are very big, the size of my hand.
Food is delicious and at a great price.

Food was great. Our actual server was great and recommended dishes and very polite. Rating service a 2 because "Brandy" who works there essentially kicked out paying customers. A group of friends and I were chatting drinking the rest of our coffee and one friend was still eating part of her meal. Brandy came up and asked us to "carry our conversation at a coffee house because there's a group of people waiting on this table". We are still consuming the food and drinks that were placed in front of us and she has the audacity to ask paying customers to leave? She then continues to roll her eyes and stare us down. As a server who is in the industry as well, I would never ask a table to take their conversation elsewhere because that's how you don't get return customers. Unprofessional and quite frankly just rude. I won't be returning. Not a loss for them I'm sure just as much as it is not a loss for me.

Brandy will probably kick you out even if you're still drinking and eating. Probably wait to pay your bill until you are legitimately done.

Good food, good price for the portions you receive. However, I will not be coming back.

We planned a surprise breakfast for a friend of mine and had a table of 4 people total. Our full party arrived at 9:20am.

This is important to note due to the fact that we were quite literally kicked out at 10:50am by a server named Brandy. We were absolutely speechless the first time she came to our table and quite rudely told us to leave because she had a big table waiting. I was still drinking my coffee when she told us to leave. Not 5 minutes later she came back, and told us to “take this to a coffee shop”. When we told her that we were finishing up our coffee and that we were paying customers too, she replied by telling us that we had been there since 8am, and that they have people waiting.

I spent 6 years in the service industry and have co managed a restaurant. I am ABSOLUTELY baffled at Brandy’s audacity. There is a way to talk to people. There is a way to tactfully ask people to speed things up. She was the prime example of what NOT to do.

1.5 hours when factoring in time to order, wait time for food, time spent actually eating, paying, boxing up our food, and the time we sat casually chatting, this is not an outrageous amount of time. We were not over staying the welcome….which honestly shouldn’t even be brought into question when you are going out to a Saturday morning breakfast.

We will take Brandy’s advice, and will take our business to a coffee shop next time.

READ BEFORE DINING!!

As I sauntered into this restaurant, I couldn't help but chuckle at the dramatic reviews I had meticulously dissected while waiting to be escorted to my culinary throne. The verdict was out before my fork even touched down on the table: superb food, sneaky prices, great servers, and a manager straight out of a grumpy cat meme.

The food, oh the food! It was like a symphony of flavors dancing on my taste buds, worth every penny and more. But hold your soda pops, folks! At $3.75 a pop, they must have been concocted by a wizard, considering they were mysteriously absent from the menu like a magician's best trick.

The not-so-friendly manager barked orders at my party of 7 to wait 30 minutes for a table in our cars, in scorching 100-degree heat no less! And let's not forget the open benches she conveniently overlooked outside; clearly, cars are the new luxury waiting rooms.

The receipt shenanigans were straight out of a comedy sketch, with prices playing hide-and-seek, only differing by a measly 50 cents. Annoying? Yes. Deal breaker? Nah, just a sprinkle of irritation in the big picture.

Now, let's talk breakfast nachos. Delicious, yes, but why oh why replace cotija cheese with Parmesan? It's like trying to pass off a tricycle as a Harley – close, but no cigar.

Despite the manager's icy demeanor, the food was a hit among our motley crew. But those plates, a design straight out of a puzzle game, making cutting and eating as challenging as a Rubik's Cube marathon. Mini waffles were a delight, but eating them felt like a Sudoku puzzle: deliciously frustrating.

To steer this ship to smoother waters, may I suggest a QR menu for a touch of modernity? Update prices at a swipe and toss in some old-school printed menus for the tech-phobes. And dear manager, a smile goes a long way – it's free and may even attract more diners eager to part with their hard-earned cash. Servers however, were amazing!

In conclusion, with a dash of charm and a sprinkle of tweaks, this place could be a culinary mecca in the making. Bon appétit and may the dining odds be ever in your favor!

Summary for Diners:
-you will love your food
-don’t expect a friendly greeting
-prices may vary
-if you have a large group, break into two smaller ones to keep the manager happy and to get seated faster

Summary for Establishment:
-update menus every time you change prices
-reconsider the plates you use so diners can more easily cut their food
-get cotija cheese
-door greeter: be a little nicer

It’s Abracadabras, you already know it’s going to be good. This place is a breakfast and lunch only spot and they fill up quick. Parking can be frustrating for sure. But the food is super good. You have to try their special French toast. The chicken fried chicken with biscuits and gravy is always a must.

Rating this place a 2 star. (I don’t need to go back)

Recently I was here with a group of friends. I got there a little early to get us on the list since we had a slightly bigger party and I know as a bigger party we just might have to wait since we did not have a reservation, that is a not a big deal and is to be expected, but to my surprise there were plenty of open tables so we got seated right away. Our entire party got there at 9:20 and at 10:50 we were rudely told to leave and “take it to a coffee shop” and that we had been there since 8 so we had been there long enough and they wanted to seat other people. Now I was the first to get there and since I was still in bed at 8am clearly this person had issues with us enjoying the coffee (that we had paid for) and enjoying our breakfast. Our actual server was amazing! She was friendly and our drinks were always full. However, Brandi Christensen (the old owner of pita pit) was the person who kicked us out. We still had drinks we were working on as well as some food that people were still snacking on but I guess she didn’t care if we finish our food and drinks or not. Apparently there are not many people that have had pleasant experiences when it comes to Brandi Christensen. Previous coworkers who have worked with her don’t have anything nice to say about her and neither do customers of abracadabras or pita pit. To me, it sounds like this miserable person doesn’t belong in customer service so it’s unfortunate Abra’s has hired someone with zero tact. We have all tried to leave customer feedback on the Facebook page for this company but all of our posts have been deleted and we have all been blocked. A little unprofessional if you ask me but I guess if you have a worker running off all of your customers, telling them to go to coffee shops, you need to delete all of the negative so new customers keep coming in.

I guess if you want to be rushed through your meal and not converse with anyone in your party go here. If you would like to enjoy your meal and get treated with respect maybe choose another place.

What a gem of a breakfast place! We asked the server for recommendations. My wife had the Peach Cobbler French Toast (divine!) and I had the Breakfast Nachos (think soutwest scramble over chips). Both were right on!
And the orange juice as so good! Only drink it, though, if you like fresh squeezed with pulp. It was awesome!
