Historical Note

The Nobby Inn opened in 1936 on Main Street Moscow Idaho. It was a family run business from beginning to close. The restaurant was named from the British slang for sophistication, and they strived to keep up that name. They kept the sophistication going throughout the years as they kept many of the same dishes from when they opened, shined change, and had the same highway map on the menu. The beloved restaurant was open from 1936-1998 and will forever be in the hearts of everyone that frequented the restaurant. The restaurant has now been replaced by the Breakfast Club.
