If you can’t decide between a night in or a night out, have both by ordering take-out or getting one of your favorite meals delivered to you. Ordering out may not be feasible for every night, but occasionally ordering out is a treat everyone deserves. Enjoying a meal from your favorite restaurant is a great way to support local businesses and stimulate the economy...while satisfying your appetite. If you are in the Idaho Falls area, try one of these delicious restaurants for your next take-out or delivered meal.
Scotty's Drive-In
Nothing says old-school quite like Scotty’s Drive-In. The gumball machine, red vinyl seats, Pepsi board menu, and the neon lights at night tempt passersby to stop in for a retro meal and experience. It’s especially hard to pass up during one of their classic car shows.
Scotty’s Drive-In has a seating area inside, but you can drive up and order and eat from your car as well. They also offer pick-up or delivery through GrubHub. If you are craving the Great Scott, Super Scott, Bacon Scott, or another one of their delicious burgers or sandwiches, get one to go! Each “Scott” burger is a little different, but each one features extra lean, choice beef, thousand island dressing, and fixings.
If you want an extra treat, be sure to check out their side orders and shake flavors. Their sides are good enough to order on their own. They include fries, tater tots, cheese curds, jalapeno poppers, and buttered mushrooms. If it’s a vegetable, it must be healthy, right? As for their shakes… well, there are so many of them, you’ll have to come back again and again just to try a new flavor every time. You can’t go wrong with classics like strawberry or oreo cookie, but there are also flavors like marshmallow, Heath, Kit Kat, and plenty more! No order is complete without a delicious shake or malt!

If you decide to choose your own toppings, you might be surprised by some of their options, like linguica, shrimp, and smoked oysters.
If you aren’t in the mood for a pizza, Papa Tom’s also serves specialty sandwiches or wings. It may be tough to decide which sandwich you want, though. They have roast beef sandwiches, Philly cheesesteak, BLT, and even a sandwich with crab! The wings they serve are fat-free, meaning they are not fried, and come with celery and ranch or blue cheese. You can decide between hot or BBQ wings.
