Experience Through Their Eyes

Loved this place! We had a coupon and so we tried it out for the first time and we will be back. Sandwich was so good, got the turkey BLT and it was perfectly toasted. Staff were so nice and friendly and eating area was very clean (it's older but was cleaned well).

Great sandwich! (Turkey BLT) Good bread, not too dry, not too drippy. The oven cooked fries were excellent. The 6" sub is pretty substantial! I was there when it was not meal-time rush and the service was very friendly!

Nice little hole-in-the-wall place. We stopped by on our way out of town. My wife had been there as a kid and wanted to relive memories and see if their mushroom pineapple sandwich still held up - it did. I had the Turkey BLT. The turkey was tender and delicious, the bread soft with a crispy grill char on it, and the combination of ingredients were great. We had an enjoyable meal before heading home on the road. We will probably return, when we are in the neighborhood again.

Good sandwiches and pizza. Some of the best you can get in Idaho falls. Been eating there food for years when I grew up in rigby . Pizza has a diffrent touch from the mass produced pizza. Sandwiches are so good and I love being able to customize them for my liking.

The pizza isn't quite as I remembered it, but it was still a quality meal. I really love how it isn't oily and it's still crisp. I felt fine after eating this pizza, where I usually feel sick after eating pizza from a big chain. I'm so happy to eat at Papa Kelsey's again! The restaurant was clean and the bathrooms were especially impressively clean. Thank you for the good experience! I look forward to coming back next time I visit SE Idaho.
