Best American food near Great Falls, Montana, United States

September 16, 2019 Phylicia Berquist

Find out what American restaurants to try in Great Falls. Anyone with an interest in history and a love of the great outdoors will enjoy a getaway to Great Falls. Steeped in the traditions of the Old West and chock-full of historic buildings and important landmarks, the city itself is a living museum. But there are also real museums to explore. Check out the Lewis & Clark National Trail Interpretive Center which has interactive exhibits and videos that help you retrace the steps of the famous explorers. The C.M. Russell Museum Complex displays the work of the "Cowboy Artist" Charlie Russell. Families should stop at the Children's Museum of Montana for hours of entertainment. Or walk into the past of the Northern Plains at First People’s Buffalo Jump, where Native Americans used to stampede buffalo over cliffs. Visitors can also take advantage of a wide array of outdoor recreation opportunities. With a fantastic view of the Missouri River, the 24-mile River's Edge Trail is great for walking, biking, in-line skating or jogging. Bird watchers will enjoy the Benton Lake Wildlife Refuge, and hiking, biking and camping opportunities in nearby mountain ranges offer even more outdoor fun.

The options for good dining in Great Falls are limited. Thank goodness for the Montana Club! The menu offers lots of selections - there truly is something for everyone. The service was efficient. Our group enjoyed salads, sandwiches and entrees - all delicious. The atmosphere was clean and inviting - decorated with a total Western vibe. A must when in Great Falls.

Wheat Montana

Reviewed By V6A4B3

Visiting Holiday Village Mall and looking for a lunch option we gave up and crossed the road to Wheat. Busy, a good sign. Order at the counter, food delivered to your table. Tried the Big Rancher Sandwich. The beef was the compressed and formed type, not expected. The second was the Mighty Missouri - turkey, ham, cheese, lettuce, tomato, and ranch dressing, again pressed and formed meats. The bread was very fresh and tasty. Good service, nice clean interior, credit cards accepted. Wheat has outlets in other Montana locations. One thing we like is their resealable bagged flour. Its very good for baking and we love the packaging - no paper bag leaking flour all over the place.

If you are a trivia nut, then this may be the place. However, if you want a nice quiet dinner then, this is not the place. Food ok, Service, not ready for prime time.

We were seated quickly and our order taken. Then we waited, and waited, and waited. Finally all the food we ordered arrived at the same time, appetisers, entrees, and salads. Most of the food was delicious, but the fries were heavily coated in salt which made them inedible. Finally our bread rolls arrived! This restaurant has a stark difference in service compared with the Missoula branch. We won’t come backWe are sorry to hear about your recent experience at Jakers. We would like to apologize about the service that you received. We ask that you please contact Bre Ann Vogl General Manager to further discuss your experience. [email protected] or 406-727-1033

We visited here because of TA.....and were not disappointed! We were a bit after the lunch crowd, so were found a table immediately! We both ordered the soup, which was the Southwest. It was very good....not spicy! We also ordered the grilled cheese with ham and it was also tasty! Friendly wait staff!

We ordered Pizza from Papa John's. The pizza was great. Plenty of toppings. The crust was very good. The only problem I had was with the cutting. One piece was actually a quarter of the pizza. Then the rest were cut in all different ways. We do not order a lot but will order again sometime.
