Eating in Great Falls (Montana)


Eating in Great Falls (Montana)

You can find pretty much any fast food places/chains (McDonalds, Burger King, Applebees, etc...) you're looking either for on 10th Ave South, the Northwest Bypass, or Smelter Ave. The exit signs on I-15 will indicate which exit you should take if that's what you're looking for. For those looking for something different than the same old fare here are a few local restaurant suggestions:
  • Bar S, 5100 North Star Blvd, (406) 761-9550. Simple decor, mind-blowing prime rib. If you're lucky, the waitress will show you a picture of the 6'6" gentleman who orders the "Double Bar-S cut," Which if the picture tells the story, stands about four full inches tall. $20-50. �
  • Big Mouth BBQ, 1008 20th St SE. Easily the best BBQ in town. All of the meat is Pit Smoked and comes out fall off the bone tender and incredibly flavorful. Several choices of sauce that should suit everyone in your party. You have your standard fare, ribs, brisquette, chicken, sausage, etc... But you could also try one of Big Mouth's specialty items Try the Cowboy Cocktail: pulled pork, beans, coleslaw and sauce in a cup. Feeling daring? Take one of the Big Mouth Challenges. Could you finish the Ultimate Chicken Fried Steak Samich? Three Chicken Fried Steaks with Gravy sandwiched between two grilled cheese sandwiches accompanied by a pound of Chilli Cheese Fries. How about a turbo charged Cowboy Cocktail? Four pounds of Pulled Pork, brisquette, chicken, and sausage over backed beans, topped with potato salad, cole slaw, and six cherry peppers. Highly recommended by locals and guests alike.
  • Eddie's Supper Club, 3725 2nd Ave. N., 406-453-1616. Eddies is a coffeeshop and steakhouse established in 1944 and not redecorated since. The place has fabulous steaks and cheap liquor. A great place to go for an old time steakhouse experience.
  • Taco Treat/Amigo Lounge, 1200 7th Street S, Great Falls, MT 59401. A good Mexican place if you're looking for that option in Great Falls. Keep in mind you're in Montana, so if you're looking for fully authentic Mexican food, you might want to wait until you get home. What you will get is outsanding American syle Mexican food with a local twist. The food is satisfying, the portions large, and the prices good. What more could you ask for?
  • The MacKenzie River Pizza Company, . A franchise restaurant with locations all around Montana. The Great Falls location is next to the Missouri River, and it's very child-friendly. Specializes in gourmet pizzas, but does have more conventional options for those with unadventrous pallets or small children. Be wanrned, this restaurant is extremely popular and gets crowded quickly most every night. So if it looks packed, it is, but there's a reason for that. Don't worry about a wait, service is quick and friendly and you shouldn't have to wait that long to be seated.
  • Borries, 1800 Smelter Ave NE, Black Eagle, MT 59414, (406) 761-0300. Located in the adjoining town of Black Eagle, Borries has been a Great Falls Establishment since 1938. Probably the best Italian food in town, although there aren't all that many options on the menu Italian wise. Fantastic steaks, Tuesday is Prime Rib Night (Get an early reservation or it will be gone), and quite arguably some of the best Minestrone in existence. A local favorite, definitely one of the higher end restaurants in Great Falls, so be prepared, it gets crowded and service can be a bit slow on especially busy nights. Don't let that scare you away, absolutely fantastic food. $$. �
  • Montana Sub Shop, 701 9TH St S, Great Falls, MT 59405 (Take the 10th Ave South Exit, follow 10th Ave South to 9th St S, make a left onto 9th St S, Montana Sub Shop is three Blocks down on the right.), (406) 454-0651. This little locally owned sandwich shop is known for it's large portions, high quality ingredients, and just plain old awesome subs. Possibly the best sandwiches in the state. Quick friendly service even when it's busy, there isn't a large dining area so it can get a little crowded. Even if you're just passing through Great Falls around lunch time, definitely one of your best healthy grab and go options. $. �
  • Cattleman's Cut Supper Club, 388 Vaughn S Frontage Rd, Great Falls, MT 59404, (406) 452-0702. About 8 miles north of Great Falls on the Vaughn Frontage Road, Cattleman's cut is pretty unappologetic for what it is. As you pull into the gravel parking lot full of pick up trucks and approach a building that looks more like a prefabricated barn as opposed to what it is, a local favorite and one of the best retaurants in the city, you may be wondering what you're getting yourself into. Take a second and remind yourself that you're in Great Falls Montana. Done? Cattleman's cut is a restaurant where you go for a good steak at a good price. Don't let the exterior fool you, this is one of the best restaurants in Great Falls. An extensive selection of cuts of beef, all cooked to order, a fairly extensive selection of seafood (remember the being in Great Falls Montana thing...), and probably the best salad bar in the city await you. Call ahead, it really doesn't matter what day of the week it is, this place gets packed. $$. �
