    you pay 11$ for Baja bowl they should not be so chincy on the ingredients. The ingredients were good, not nearly enough food for the money.

    Friendly staff and good food. The servings are filling and I go here weekly. The chicken and sweet pork are probably my favorite.

    I had been wanting to try this place since I moved to the area months ago. I had multiple errands…read moreto run and was getting hungry. So I decided I'd try this place out, and went to see if by chance they had an app. They do! It was so easy to navigate through and modify my salad order. I ordered the house salad which came with a grilled chicken filet (you can choose hand breaded) fresh greens, bacon, gouda cheese, tomatoes (I skipped the tomatoes), Fresno peppers (never had them and they were great!) and I replaced the Honey Mustard dressing with Jalapeno ranch. I added additional grilled chicken patty. Both patties were seasoned to perfection. It was absolutely amazing! My new go-to whenever I want a good salad in town. Oh! and to my surprise the app lets you know when your food is ready and (cherry on top) they have a drive up window. Score! Customer service was great. The young man who assisted me at the window was respectful and kind. I will definitely be back! PS I have no photo of my food because I was too focused on how tasty my meal was! Next time! Ha!

Nice and crispy and had good flavor. They also sell custard. Which i found to be pretty good but there wasnt much toppings mixed in. I struggled to find the Butterfinger pieces in the butterfinger custard. Prices are a bit high for what you get. Staff was helpful and friendly.

    Went to Gandolfo's for the first time yesterday (my spouse has been before), I had been thinking…read moreabout an old standard, a BLTZ - bacon lettuce, tomato, and egg sandwich. About equal amounts of the first three, a decent amount of mayonnaise and a scrambled egg included, Nobody seems to make that anymore, about the closest you can come is a club sandwich. My spouse says they'll make to order, so I ordered a BLTZ. The egg was extra which was fine, but what I got was a BACON sandwich, with a dollop of mayonnaise, a tiny bit of tomato as well a thin bit of lettuce. Certainly not what I was hoping for, but for a bacon sandwich it was fine and this isn't on their menu. Overall, I felt the restaurant was nice, so I'll probably go again, and stick to menu items. Her pastrami sandwich looked scrumptious,

I think thats pretty cool to have something like that here in Idaho Falls. I usually get a sandwich with corn beef and my wife usually gets something that is toasted. We both enjoy the service and the people working always so nice to us. I like that it is really like a deli and not like subway you can get a bunch of different of meats and the NYC decorations make it fun to just look at the stuff on the walls. Wr try to come here atleast once a month.

    I went here heartbroken after finalizing my fourth divorce. I walked into this establishment not…read moreexpecting much, (I lived in Philly for 32 years) but as soon as I saw the smile of my beloved Benjamin "Big Ben" Franklin, I knew I was at home. The service was incredible, only taking approximately 6 or 7 minutes to receive my food. And when I devoured my "Death Valley", I was a changed man. I quickly grabbed my phone and called Angela, begging for her to come back to me. She agreed. And we have been remarried ever since. Thank you Franklin's Famous Cheesesteak for rekindling my marriage. I will never be able to repay the joy you brought me.

    Well....I really wanted to love this one, but sadly it was a miss for us…read more Staff employees were absolutely AMAZING!!! Great to talk too and did everything they could to accommodate everything...That being said, sadly that was the best part of the experience... Right off the bat, the building was DIRTY and very outdated, on the inside and the outside, starting with a dirty chair thrown on the ground holding the entry door open. I should have listened to the reviews. Sadly the food was underwhelming! We had 'Philly' cheesesteaks from the menu, but with hardly any flavor, even just more seasoning. I could tell I was eating a cheesesteak but not comparable to other places I've been before. On top of that, the cheese was kind of off tasting as well. Franklin's FAMOUS Cheesesteaks couldn't have been very famous if that has been their claim to fame. Im not sure anyone would return for that sandwich twice. Probably one of the worst cheesesteaks we've ever had. I was SO excited to try these and was very disappointed! We also had poutine fries which were just a greasy squishy container of overly salty gravy fries without any cheese curds that would normally come in poutine. It was pretty bad, literally had 2 bites and threw it away! Chili fries were ok, but again a container full of overly greasy fries, very squishy and sadly not good. I'm SO sad to write this review, but we spent better part of $60+ on food that we mostly just threw in the trash can. Never eaten here before, but maybe at some point it was popular. For being supposedly being famous, I was the only customer in the building the entire time I waited for the food during lunch time on a weekday. This place should have been full with the number of people I saw passing by, but not... Hope it improves, we will try again another time, maybe it was just off day... You know, funny but the reviews for this place were pretty good years ago! Not sure what happened. It's obvious the establishment doesn't care about what is written here, as almost all the reviews in the past year say the same negative things that no one has addressed. Sadly it has missed potential. Hope it gets better...

But, I absolutely COULD NOT DECIDE between chow mein or fried rice. The cheerful food server said "you can do half and half, no extra charge." Wow. So, I got the half and half. It worked! But I do have a sneaking suspicion that the food server offered the half/half as a way to get me to the check out stand quicker, not that it was crowded, there were a few people eating and I was the only one in line, but it was 11:30, perhaps she was anticipating a big rush. On the other hand, the Drive Thru was doing a brisk business with a bit of a line.... The had a honey walnut shrimp entree, I was offered a sample. It is DELICIOUS! But it cost, I think... $1.75 extra as an entree, so I passed. I ordered Kung Pao Chicken and Beijing Beef. The Kung Pao was spicy, needed water after every bite. (I like it that way). The Beijing Beef, well, I want to say "where's the BEEF?" as it tasted more like chicken or pork! But it was good. And again, I liked the half/half option on chow mein and fried rice. It hit the spot. If you are in an RV, park at Wal-Mart (plenty of room) and walk over. I came here in a rental car.

Yesenia let me know it would be a wait for the Honey Sesame and Sweet-fire. She asked me to park and wait and they would bring out the food. So I did, there was little to no one inside and the drive-through was empty I proceeded to wait (20 minutes) seeing people go in and leaving moments later. Then someone else ordered at the drive-through and they were also asked to wait, as they proceeded to park next to me. 10 minutes later they brought out their food. Deciding to go check inside and ask about my order it seemed it was already bagged and ready. Noticing she shared a knowing smile with one of her coworkers and proceeded to laugh. As she brought it to the front of the register. Did they have me wait on purpose? Would I have received my food at all if I hadn't walked inside? I waited a total of 32 minutes for what seemed to be an order that was already bagged and ready. On a good note they did fill the plates a good amount.
