Borries Supper Club

Discerning diners flock to Black Eagle, a small community that borders the northeast edge of Great Falls, for dinner at Borries. Regulars favor the steaks, fried chicken, lobster, and burgers, and the huge portions of spaghetti, ravioli, and rigatoni are legendary. Historic photos of Great Falls line the walls, but they're hard to appreciate in the dim lighting.

Roadhouse Diner

$$
While its burgers have been deemed "the best" in Great Falls and even in Montana, this diner's claim to fame came when it won the Food Network's Guy's Grocery Games in 2017. Each burger is made with grass-fed, sprout-finished Montana beef cut and ground on-site, every few hours. Buns are baked fresh by Great Harvest Bread, another Great Falls institution. There are even a few vegetarian options. But the best is the beef burger. If you don't want any pink in it, make sure to order "no pink."
