    Poutine. The gravy was rich and the cheese curds amazing! Everyone dove in before I could take a pic it was that good. Highly recommend!

    We ordered Fish & Chips, The Reuben and Poutine for and appetizer. The service was was perfect. The food was well presented and the flavors amazing. The Reuben was great but could use more pastrami stuffed in there. Worth getting none the less. The fish & chips were fantastic. I cannot wait to come back here. The service was perfect and friendly. We had a great experience. The vibe of the restaurant checks all the boxes to feel like an authentic Irish Pub. You won't be disappointed coming here.

    Great place to come to eat or drink. Atmosphere was great and gave you the Irish vibes. Truth be told I must have come in a t a perfect time as they were playing Flogging Molly and Drop Kick Murphy in the background. The red ale in house was really good, and the corn beef cabbage dish was absolutely spectacular. Definitely one of my favorite spots I come to when here in Idaho falls for business. Staff has always been great here and always making sure you have everything you need. Great place to come too.

    First timer tip: it's a seat yourself establishment. They would be wise to install a sign. This is a dining jewel located in downtown Idaho falls. It's located in a beautiful old building with stunning stained glass windows and a lovely Celtic carved bar. The food is delicious. We had the cottage pie and the bacon jalapeño Mac and cheese. We don't drink, but the bar appeared very well stocked. They also have several mocktails available. Our server was also excellent and kept our drinks filled. If you want a delectable meal in a moody old world atmosphere, look no further!

    Fun location in downtown Idaho falls. Super friendly service and great authentic food . Parking can be a little tricky , so read the road signs.

    I came here for drinks and squeezed into a seat at the bar. As the name suggests this is an Irish pub and there are themes of four leaf clovers and some of the workers wearing kilts. I ordered the Big D's negroni ($10) and the bartender realized after he started making the drink that they did not have campari, so he subbed it with an orange liqueur. The funny thing was that a little bit later I was looking at the spirits and spotted the campari in the back but couldn't at first because my seat was right behind the taps and they were blocking my view. I pointed it out to the bartender and he remade the drink which was good. I also ordered the jalapeno peach margarita ($10) which was your typical margarita with a slight kick. Overall this is a decent watering hole.

    A major move in 2021 to Idaho Falls gives me the ability to explore new businesses. It is exciting for me to be able to review these offerings on Yelp. This place is wonderful and full of comfort food. We've enjoyed many of their offerings and all have been well prepared, tasty, seasoned well, and good portion size. To start with their beer selection is overwhelming. It takes me about ten minutes to read the offerings and try to imagine their taste before deciding what I'm in the mood to enjoy. Once that has been settled I can turn my mind to food. And the list is long. The happy hour sliders are a good choice to enjoy with truffle fries. We order our Wagyu slider rare and they try to oblige. We've enjoyed their cottage pie, their Ruben, and others I can't remember at this time. It's become a gathering place for us in Idaho Falls. I have only had good meals at this restaurant. It's why I continue to dine here. And they are dog friendly in the summer. They have an outdoor seating area where we can let our dog enjoy snacks on her snuffle mat while we eat a meal. It's a win/win for our family.

    IDAHO FALLS DINING VARIETY CHALLENGE: Having recently moved here from Boise, we realize the variety of dining opportunities could be smaller. We hope to show there are many 4-5 star restaurants of various cuisines to be enjoyed as we experience them ourselves. IRISH PUB - We've been to the Celt multiple times in 2021, as it is simply a comfortable place to go with good beer. We've enjoyed corned beef & cabbage, shepherd's pie, sausage charcuterie, fish & chips, reubens, corned beef sandwiches, wagu sliders, and did I say beer? The service is friendly and usually prompt. We also have sat outside quite a few times, as having a one year old pup makes that necessary - but she's welcome to be there. We can't say we've been there during their live music times, but they sound quite interesting and we hope to be at some of them soon. We think the Celt is "great".

    We were in Idaho Falls for a concert at the new local event center. I am vegetarian while my husband is not, and we often struggle to find vegetarian-friendly eateries. I had the hummus plate which was very tasty and came with a generous helping of hummus, veggies and crackers. Hubby had the fish and chips, which was cooked perfectly. The décor was fun to look at, with all the soccer banners and other Irish memorabilia. Humungous bar with what seemed like hundreds of bottles. There were several nooks that had tables and comfy chairs. Soccer banners hang from the ceiling and were right above us, but appeared to have dust on them, so that was icky and I prayed that a gust of wind didn't blow while we ate! Our wait person was friendly, smiley and attentive. The bartender seemed to have a regular sour puss, but maybe he has resting bartender face, I dunno. The bar, and the rest of Idaho Falls downtown area, seems to have had a very generous amount of money invested and the result is beautiful. We would definitely return to this charming establishment. Agree with another poster that parking is a bit difficult. We lucked out and found a street spot across the main street in the shade.

    Sully's has the best burgers I've had in Idaho, in fact ever!…read moreBetter than Snake Bite by a wide margin and even better than Big Jud's. You gotta get here quick! Ambience: Clean, well decorated, feels like a pub but a clean one. Staff: lovely and lively wait staff, wonderful food for a fair price, good portion sizes generally. Kristina is cheerful and awesome and her Bento cakes are incredible! Well balanced burgers: I keep coming back for the taste and the size of their 1/2lb burger is just right for us hungry boys! The slap yo granny is my favorite!!! It is sweet, savory, a little sour, and spicy from the pickled peppers, the tiniest hint of bitterness from the greens. The sweetness of the blueberry compot balances the spice and fat from the burger rather exceptionally. And the house made pickles are the bomb. Very messy though especially with a beard lol. The best and most balanced burger I have ever had!!! It's so good I've been around 10 times and almost always get the Slap yo granny lol. I'd miss it to much to try anything else. The samurai burger and russian cucumber is great if you want something fresh but not sweet, the humongous fungus is another really good one. Fries: The epitome of a homemade Idaho fry, but not to greasy which I appreciate. The sidewinder fries are epic and my favorite, and the waffle sweet potatoes fries are great as well. Although the $2.50 up-charge I don't love, especially for the size of the fry. For the upcharge I wish you got a little or a lot more. The regular fry is adequately portioned. They have a really well seasoned made in-house fry sauce that is delightfully smoky and sweet, and balances out the fries very nicely. It is one of the best fry sauces I've ever had, and I have had a lot of them. Constructive criticism: For the up-charge on the unique and tasty fries add a few more or lower the charge a bit. It's the only thing that feels a bit scamish as I've walked away several times feeling like I could have had just a few more I would have been satisfied. I'm willing to admit that's a me problem possibly, that being said I'm not a fatty, I'm actually a small dude, so take that for what it's worth. The Men's bathroom needs a couple updates, a divider for the urnal for privacy for the shy guys, and for those of us who don't want to see some crusty private bits walking in the door. And a privacy bar to fill the gap in the stall, of which you can see into the stall right at the person on the lue, in a slightly larger manner than feels safe, especially for children's safety, it not exactly appetizing for how delicious of a restaurant this is. And Extra points awarded for some of the cool shows playing on the tv's, especially The Bob Ross Channel. The parking is adequate but it is downtown and spots do get full so you may have to look around.

We're not into fries of which there were many options, but you could upgrade to a salad, Caesar salad, or soup of the day. The sizes were enormous! We immediately asked for a to go box, and placed half of each sammich into it. The upgraded sides were great, so we ate them all. The soup was clam chowder; first I'd had in years; it was very tasty and a delightfully little spicy. We split the other half sammiches between us; I found the pastrami to be excellent, the french dip good, but nothing to distinguish itself. When a first visit makes us want to come again, that's always a good sign!

    April 2026 Idaho Falls, Idaho…read more I was surprised to see this place is attached to a hotel when I drove up. Typically I do not eat at restaurants that are attached to a hotel. However, Yelp told me it was a 4.3 star place to eat. I asked if they had any nonalcoholic beers. The waiter brings me a can of beer to show me what it is. When I tell him that I will have it. He says well I'll just take it back and put it in a glass. So they bring me a 16 ounce glass with the beer poured in and it only filled 12 ounces. I ordered the Nacho Mama's Dip. It is a chicken nacho dip. The waiter told me it was a large portion so I am eating that just as my meal. My husband ordered the fish and chips. When you walk in the front door, the bar is right there. Pretty large bar for one to sit and enjoy a drink or a meal. To the right our booths and high tables that line the wall as well as some booths in the middle of the restaurant that make you feel like you are sitting under a gazebo. There are tables and booths on the far wall as well. The tables are cut to appear like a live edge wood top table. The booths sit too low and the table sits high. Even my husband who is 6'2 felt an imbalance with the table to chair. My nachos come out and the cheese sauce is dripping off the side of the dish. It is an absolute mess. The nacho chips are off to the side. The toppings consist of black olives and onions with four pieces of diced tomatoes. Accompanied by a side plastic dish is salsa, sour cream, and guacamole. The guacamole is definitely not homemade. My biggest complaint is the cheese sauce is definitely from a can. The cheese that they did put on the nachos was a slice of cheese that was not even melted. See picture. Reminds me that I am eating in a restaurant attached to a hotel. There are no beans. The chicken is mixed in with the cheese sauce. And it is sparingly there. This dish is absolutely disgusting! The fish and chips were terrible. They're served in a basket with four pieces of fish and they sit upon fresh cut fries. The fish was not good. The batter has a odd taste. Perhaps the oil it is fried in? I think I would've been better off going to Culver's and having their fish platter. Although my beYr was in a can, it was very cold. It was truly the best part of my meal. I am so disappointed that yelp led me to this place. This is my warning to others. Stay away. We had two completely different meals and neither of them were good.
