Location: Taqueria Guadalajara, Prescott Valley, AZ Let’s face it, our choices for decent Mexican food in Great Falls are not all that numerous. Really good choices, even more sparse. And places for decent authentic Mexican breakfasts? I’m not sure one even exists. So when you travel out of town especially to a southwestern state it’s mandatory to stop in somewhere…

The Search for the Best Breakfast in Great Falls: 5th Street Diner revisited
Tragedy has struck Great Falls. The 5th Street Diner is closing. Apparently the landlord, perhaps hoping to cash in on the current popularity of that 5th Street and Central intersection, decided the space was worth a lot more rent than the Diner proprietors were willing to pay. So the proprietors decided it was time to retire. Thus I, along with…
The Search for the Best Breakfast in Great Falls: Double Barrel Cafe
Location: 15th Street and 9th Ave. So, in the little house that’s been several businesses over the years. The Double Barrel is both old and new, being new at this location, but old as a successor to the old Double Barrel that was on the West Side for so many years. One of the proprietors here is a relation of…
The Search for the Best Breakfast in Great Falls: 2K’s Kafe Revisited
Location: 3rd Ave So. just E of Meadow Gold Over the years this has been sort of the go-to place when downtown early on a week day and looking for a breakfast bite. The building is what can only be described as unassuming on the outside in a working neighborhood, and it’s small and plain and cozy on the inside.…
The Search for the Best Breakfast in Great Falls: 5th Street Diner
This diner at the corner of 5th Street and Central occupies the space that used to be the lunch counter at the old Woolworth’s store that was there when we were kids running around the store and looking at the pet section and smelling all the delicious smells. The decor of the diner harks back to even before I was…
Breakfast Not in Great Falls but Should Be: Ann Sather Swedish Breakfast
We can only wish we could get this breakfast in Great Falls, but unless you have a Swedish grandma or something, you’re S.O.L. But you can enjoy it at Ann Sather on Belmont when you visit Chicago. Check out all that mouth-watering Swedish goodness there with the scrambled eggs: Swedish pancakes, Swedish meatball, potato sausage, lingonberry sauce, and some tasty…
The Search for the Best Breakfast in Great Falls: Goodtime Charlie’s
Goodtime Charlie’s occupies part of the R&R Casino mega-complex at 10th Ave. South and 38th Street that if I remember right was a motel long long ago, just west of Tokyo Massage. It’s main claim to breakfast fame is that it is open 24 hrs, picking up the mantle of departed and mourned east side 24 hr/late night breakfast places…
The Search for the Best Breakfast in Great Falls: Goode’s
Update: Alas, Goode’s is no more. First it was in the little log cabin place on 15th St. and 7th (?) Ave. No. that always seemed to be a snake bit business location until the Roadhouse came along, and then they moved up to 10th Ave. So. and 26th-ish Street in the back of that little strip mall of bars,…
The Search for the Best Breakfast in Great Falls: JB’s
The venerable and showing-its-age JB’s on 10th Ave. South down by 14th Street or so, catacorner from where the Holiday Inn used to be but now Town Pump #15633 takes up the whole block, is famous mostly for its all-you-can-shovel-in-there breakfast buffet, which is quite reasonably priced. Okay so the food from the buffet isn’t particularly outstanding or notable or…
