Great pitstop for some food. Got the Shrimp Bambino, Chicken and Ranch Bambino, and some fries. Fries were super crispy and fresh. I preferred the Shrimp Bambino over the Chicken and Ranch just because of texture but both were good tasting and filled me up. Will definitely stop there again to try a different flavor!

This place is a classic staple of Rigby. The orders are always accurate and the food has been fresh for me. They have some of the best fries I have ever had. The staff tends to have RBFs and are not as friendly as one would hope. They have great deals through the week that make this place worth going to. Overall, this is always a must stop for my family and I when I am in town.

We went shortly after 8 knowing very well it was just the drive through. However, the only thing they could do was the premade bambino’s, and the fries. No drinks, no customizations, no baked goods. I understand places wanting to be closed and out of there on time, however it would be nice to disclose the limited menu after a certain time. Highly disappointing after traveling from IF

I gave food and atmosphere 3 stars because this is an issue of cost not necessarily the employees or the restaurant. On cost however, I’d love to give them one star! I have been going to bambinos since high-school and, there was a time I loved it. Those days are sadly gone. I spent fifty dollars for 5 pepperoni and 5 classic bambinos. That in itself wouldn’t really bother me that much but, they then tell you that if you would like any ranch for those bambinos it’s 55 cents for 1 1oz cup. Then they gaslight you into thinking that there is a high cost. I make the same ranch at home lol it’s not hard and a 32oz cost me about a buck. I understand people can abuse things but, come on, your product is expensive anyway, why nickel and dime your customers. I stopped giving them buisness for three years and thought I’d give them another shot. My mistake! Their food is not bad but, not great either. I would recommend any pizza chain over bambinos at this point. Anyway I’m only posting because I’d like to support local but also don’t want to be robbed. I sincerely hope that they can figure these things out because at one point it was a nice place to grab dinner for the family.

This review is based on tasting their food from their food truck at a wedding they catered. I got the classic, pepperoni, and cheese and they were all good. The dough was soft and fresh and all the ingredients blended well together. Their customer service was also great. They arrived on time, and were ready to deliver food. I haven’t visited their store yet, but based on the food and service I experienced, I’d sure love to visit their store too.

Came here with my family that was visiting and we overall had a pleasant experience. Food was enjoyable and filling. Wish they would say what is on the salad like they do for their other dishes but it’s not too much of a deal just if you can’t have cheese make sure to mention it if getting a salad. I also didn’t like the paper covers they had on the platters, if you don’t eat fast enough they get soggy and can rip and you might eat some of the paper. But overall it was good and the prices are reasonable and actually better than a lot of places. I’d come again to try something else.

We have never had a bad experience here. Staff have always been friendly, fresh made food that tastes top tier. My husband loves the fries, but I love that there is a no up-charge option for a fresh side salad instead, with multiple dressing options. They’re always our first go to in town!

We like to come here every so often for a fried hand pie. When fresh the crust is crispy and light. Fillings are pizza based with a range of choices. My favorites are the chicken ranch and the fire.
Hubby likes the calzones. DD likes the ones I do. DS likes the classic or vegetarian. Another DD likes the calzones and many of the Bambinos (little hand pies).

Had a little of everything on the menu. The Bambino is the best thing by far. We tried a few of the versions and they were all good. The pasta is not great, it reminded me of a frozen dinner quality. Fries were good, salad is simple. If you stick to what they do best you will not be disappointed. We will go again but next time focus on their main stuff.
