Idaho Falls is a city in Eastern Idaho. Idaho Falls serves as the commercial, cultural, and healthcare hub for Eastern Idaho. The city attracts many tourists visiting nearby Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks, Jackson Hole, and fishing on the Snake River. Due to its proximity to high-profile outdoor destinations, in 2009, Idaho Falls was named to National Geographic's list of the "100 Best Adventure Towns".

Serves anything from Rainbow trout to lobster (flown fresh into Idaho Falls) to steak to pasta. Considered by many of the locals to be the best restaurant in town.
The specialty is steak, but you should also try their seafood dishes.
Probably the most popular restaurant in town for breakfast. Nothing fancy is served, but you can count on the traditional breakfast dishes being prepared to perfection.
Mrs. Powell's Rolls
The home of the cinnamon rolls that inspired the Cinnabon bakery chain. Start with the classic, which has creamy frosting with the perfect hint of lemon and cream cheese over a fluffy homemade roll, or consider the gooey, nutty caramel version. Also soups, sandwiches, salads, and other desserts. The "cheesy roll" for their sandwiches is based on the same dough as their famous cinnamon roll, only with cheese instead of cinnamon and sugar. Near the College of Eastern Idaho, on the southeast edge of Idaho Falls.
