    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!

    Super chix is chicken as you might expect. Mostly chicken…read moresandwiches. They have a handful of different recipes with a pretty good variety of flavors. The sandwich was good. 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.

    I think that Chick-fil-A breakfast is the best fast food breakfast in Idaho Falls and Ammon…read more I will update this review, currently we are traveling around outside of our safety zone lol. Chick-fil-A breakfast was guaranteed to be agreeable to both of us. It's funny, people get in their zones and stay there. We have to actively break out of that zone, and explore other restaurants. When it comes back time to visit our "We Like" list, Chick-fil-A will be one of our first visits, and I will post an experience review at that time. I just feel that a 3.8, in the fast food category, is far below what Chick-fil-A deserves. They, like any other fast food, have their issues with sometimes incorrect items, sometimes a sandwich made wrong. Sometimes a component ingredient stored too long. But the volume that this store in Ammon handles satisfactorily--puts the rest in the dust. So This Chick-fil-A gets my five stars. One thing though, being honest, they have bad communication with DoorDash. You need to go pick up your food because, check the bag lol if you order through DoorDash check the bag.

The man taking my order, Xavier, was very rude and unprofessional. His attitude made the ordering process uncomfortable, which is disappointing considering how good the food was. I hope the management addresses this, because the food deserves better service to match.

    I'd driven past this quiet little building on IF's very short Elm Street so many times over the…read moreyears that when I glanced over and finally noticed it, I assumed it had been there forever. "Hmmmm," Franklin's Famous Cheesesteak Company--"gonna have to look that up." The internet was arguing with itself about what year it opened, with one site saying 2015, the other 2012. Gave up that pursuit and gave into the interesting looking menu--saw that they serve breakfast--so here we go. It sits about a block east, and then south across Elm from the IF museum, which makes it a fantastic convenient place to grab a bite after viewing exhibits. It's a small building sitting on a pretty good-sized lot, which equals a large parking lot. With pretty stark surroundings, the red, white, and blue Benjamin Franklin bust caricature of their overdoor sign should have caught my attention long ago. So you have a few names to choose from here, because this patriotic little place is dynamite, and covers just about all your hungry hangout needs. Franklin's Famous Cheesesteaks, you know at least you're going to get fed. Another smaller sign above the front door Franklin's Tavern--yep, there's a bar--this little tiny building has a lot of seating, and a bar (Beer & Wine). When walking in, the charm of richly varnished mahogany?, and framed, parchment-style scrolls featuring famous Founding Fathers can inspire an urge to salute. Clever menu cards sitting around like Ben's Ice Cream Parlor, and Franklin's Fizzy Fountain Drinks, highlight just how much character this place has. You sit anywhere you like, as we were instructed by our--OMGosh the service!! This was also iconic, as I've been seeing this lady around IF for years. Sweet lady, who was working at one of my fast food frequents, always ready to take real good care of people while calling them hun--she hasn't changed a bit. After dropping Ben's Breakfast Menus for us and asking, "What can I get for your drinks, hun?" she quickly returned with a couple of mugs and a coffee pot. Their coffee is actually one of the best single-pot brews in town. So, sipping, relaxing, and checkin out what this Cheesesteak Company has for breakfast. I mean, without looking at the menu, while only taking the actual business name into account, you might think eggs, cheese and meat hoagies. You know.., I didn't notice, they might actually have those too, but--sooo much more. Ben's Breakfast Menu is no joke! Instantly you're at a small diner, not a sandwich shop. And small only describes the building, because the plate you'll be served is huge. I got Ben's Big Biscuits & Gravy Plate--big fluffy biscuit smothered in sausage gravy. Two eggs scrambled with cheese & onions, and browns or Idaho Potatoes. This is a plateful, and it's super tasty. (The Biscuit plate alone is enough food for most 146lb-ers). Also got Big Mec Muffin--lol--be prepared to buy three of the competitor's to equal the size of this thing. Their sausage is super meaty and flavorful, the eggs are fresh cracked, and it ain't no dinky muffin. I chose Pepperjack--zazing! She got Ben's Chicken Fried Steak breakfast, with as you'd imagine deep-fried breaded cube steak, smothered in sausage gravy. Comes with two eggs any way, anndd It comes with a couple potato choices. Hashbrowns, or fresh diced Idaho Potatoes (w/peppers & onions). Ok--come on, that's not really a choice lol--the description sold the potatoes to her lol. Annnd toast, or for a slight upcharge, a Big Biscuit (she got the biscuit with jam). Add the coffee, Drum-Roll...when adding the biscuit to hers...36 bucks, Wow! Incredible value. As shocked as I was that we got all that great food & coffee for 36 bucks, she was telling me all about her disbelief that it wasn't busier, but she was--testifying to--the greatness of that Big Biscuit! I had to tune her out on the way home to stop hearing her rave about that Biscuit, lol. We love food. If you do too, see ya there!

    This is, for sure, a greasy spoon…read more If you want something delicious that sticks to your ribs, give it a go. I had the Sioux City and my wife had the Honolulu. Arguably, the Honolulu should be chicken instead of beef in order to have the "correct" flavor profile, but the fried eggs on my sandwich were bomb, and I only had slightly too much cheese (as if that's a bad thing). If you come in to sit down, you can tell that the restaurant's personality is on full display. It's one that will likely ward off those with a political opposition, but as a moderate guy, I found it funny, if only a bit excessive. Having family in the area, It definitely screams local Idaho Falls. Maybe scaling back on jokes that are dated to 2020 and balancing out the toppings and flavor profiles would bump this up to a five star, but as far as a delicious, gigantic portion, this is the greasy spoon you are looking for. Easily a must try for any blue collar worker in the area.
