We hadn’t been to Family Affair since before Covid, never since new ownership, and never for lunch. So we decided it was time to give it a try. The parking lot out front on a Tuesday had lots of cars and the smallish dining room inside was pretty much already packed when we arrived at 11:30, so that boded well.…

La Cocina, November 2024
One day we got the hankerin for Mexican Food lunch and set out for a place that was supposedly in business but wasn’t anymore when we got there, just like so many other Mexican places in Great Falls here today gone tomorrow. So La Cocina was 2nd choice. We had not visited La Cocina since right after it opened, when…
The Search for The Best Lunch Spots in Great Falls: Craig Tap House
Okay maybe technically this place isn’t in Great Falls but it is on the way home to Great Falls from many, many places. For instance Helena, Lincoln if you happened to come home through Wolf Creek, and of course fishin’ on the Missouri. Normally it is just a watering hole stop to fortify for that long I-15 drive home, but…
The Search For the Best Breakfast in Great Falls: Clark & Lewie’s
We didn’t originally head out for Clark & Lewie’s but the place we wanted to go was not open, so Clark & Lewie’s was 2nd choice. Friends and acquaintances had been telling for me years “You have to go to Clark & Lewie’s!” so it was a pretty easy 2nd choice. It turned out that it was not really worth…
The Search For the Best Breakfast in Great Falls: The Loft revisited
I really did not enjoy The Loft the last time I went, but a friend swears by the omelettes at this joint and kept telling me I had to go back and try it again. So one day we did. No problem parking on a Monday morning, and hardly anyone in the place. We got our choice of seating.…
The Search for The Best Breakfast in Great Falls: Perkins (RIP)
It has been a tough couple years for breakfast spots in Great Falls, since the last pre-pandemic blog post here. Sometime during the pandemic the Fox Farm Diner closed, with that space now filled by a Mexican restaurant (no breakfasts). The 2K’s closed this year. Lippi’s Kitchen closed. That space will be filled by the former Missouri River Diner folks,…
The Search For the Best Breakfast in Great Falls: Fox Farm Diner
The Fox Farm Diner is a relatively new establishment, in the building that used to be a Chinese buffet, on Fox Farm Road across the street from the Heritage Inn and kinda out behind the Lucky Lil’s. It has been been a long time since I was in this building – it is a huge space for a diner. Gotta…
The Various Bees
Big bees and little bees. Black bees and yellow bees. Bees we haven’t even used yet.
The Search for the Best Breakfast in Great Falls: Family Affair revisited
After two less than stellar breakfast experiences in a row it was time to play it safe. And no place is safer for a good breakfast than the Family Affair restaurant at 26th Street and east end of IGA/Snyder’s Drug strip mall down there by 7th Ave No. I played it even safer by getting my old standby. All the…
The Search for the Best Breakfast in Great Falls: The Montana Club
Everyone (two people) kept tellin’ me, they said, “Ya just gotta try the Montana Club! It’s got the greatest breakfasts in town!” And based on its online menu, it had some that looked interesting, for sure. But I procrastinated, and did not try it for several years, because I am not a great fan of the Montana Club due to…
