50 Best American Restaurants near Great Falls

“On a beautiful day the outside patio is a wonderful place to relax with friends, eat a good sandwich with delicious fries, and of course sip your favorite brew, wine, or bourbon. The staff is friendly. This was my first visit, and I will be back for more.Kid-friendliness: Kids welcome.“

“This was our first visit since Ash sold the restaurant. Andrew (new owner) came over to our table of 6 to introduce himself and see how we liked everything. We found the food excellent and service very good. We will definitely be back. We wish Andrew and his partner well.“

“Located in the Crown development. Easy parking in the public parking lot. We always share the Hanger Steak with Cauliflour Mash. It’s perfectly tender and delicious every time. This time we ordered dessert, a flourless chocolate waffle with iced cream and whipped cream. It’s really decadent and delicious. Another excellent meal. Prices are reasonable and the servers are friendly and skilled. The room is very nice too.“

“Service was excellent, even a special attention on the menu for the Anniversary we were coming from and also a complimentary dessert with a candle. Very touching attention. Foods were great and very well presented. We just removed one start because on one of our main dishes the lamb kebab was really too salty for us but all the rest was perfect. Our alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks were excellent too. Great overall experience and we definitely recommend.“

“This restaurant has a comfortable seating area with a relaxed atmosphere and serves fusion-style dishes, some with an Asian flair that is truly comforting. Last time, we tried the Chicken Lettuce Wraps, which had a hint of sesame soy sauce and crunchiness from the lettuce, making it the perfect appetizer. The Fettuccine Alfredo with parmesan cream sauce was good, and the Sweet and Spicy Ribs were sweet and tasty, with a kick from the Korean Gochugaru sauce. We enjoyed all aspects of the restaurant, including the decent service.“

“Came here for a birthday, had a reservation but still had to wait 15mins, not a huge deal but be aware. Service was friendly but not very attentive. Had to flag our waitress down every time I needed anythingThe food: steaks were cooked to perfection and were some of the best I’ve had in the dmv. Rockfish was exceptionally good. Cesar salad was fantastic.Busy place prices are reasonable for what you get in quality of food but definitely not cheap.If you appreciate a quality steak I would highly recommend Ozzie’s. I will be trying it again.Parking: Parking wasn’t hard to find but may need to walk a block or two.“

“I love Great American Restaurants and can always count on Patsy's American for a perfect casual dining experience. The comfortable seating and airy space with high ceilings give us a unique experience that other restaurants don't provide. The food, drinks, and desserts are always perfect; even a simple hot fudge sundae is delicious at this restaurant. Nothing can go wrong when we dine at Patsy's American.Parking: Although the restaurant has a parking space in front of the premises, it fills up quickly. An adjacent free parking garage is available.“

“One of Reston’s best and our favorite. Customer service second to none, delicious food (don’t miss the crab soup), beautiful scenery, and some of NOVA’s finest entertainment topped off by the Billy Thompson trio. Great way to spend the evening.“

“Our waiter Julien really went above and beyond to make our dinner something truly special. The food was great, the atmosphere was enjoyable, but pretty standard for an upscale chain such as this. It's people like Julien that make the difference, he made my daughter feel like she was President of the United States. The smile he gave her, I will never forget. Julien if you read this, I wish you all the best in life, you are a treasure.“

“I think this is the first time I ate at BergerFi. I had the fried chicken on a lettuce wrap. I was surprised at how delicious it was. I never had a lettuce wrap. The crunch was much better than a bun. I was also expecting a dried out piece of chicken with tons of sauce. It was quite the opposite. Juicy meat and light sauce. I'll be “

“PK was excellent please recognize his extrem attention to detail and hos kind manor. He was very aware of my food likes my comfort my drink level and he didnt interupt me at all he was very positive and should be rewarded with recognition and more opportunity to train other servers and also be rewarded with monitary recognition.“

“My wife and I went for Easter brunch. Food as always along with service was top notch. I like Arti's. The restaurant gives me that when I was a child (many moons ago LOL) and my Mom would take me to a cool restaurant for dinner after church type of feeling. Again food selections were great only thing was, they discontinued Chicken and Waffles on the menu. This was sort of a let down because that was the dish we had many times for Easter Brunch. When I asked the manager he explained that upper management revamped the menus throughout the Great American restaurants after the fire. I look forward to the next time my wife and I have dinner here. I hope that maybe upper management can find it in their heart to bring back the Chicken and waffles. Thanks for the good times.“

“An absolutely delightful dinner experience. Easy parking off to the side of the restaurant in a parking garage, free of charge. Roomy and atmospheric restaurant dining sitting. You can also have drinks at the outdoor patio bar before dinner. Our server was very polite, attentive and timely with drinks, food orders and check. The food was top grade for everything ordered, cooked exactly to order and great blend of tastes and spices. Truly a 5 star experience.Parking: Parking garage next to the restaurant is free for customers of the restaurant upon providing the vehicle plate number. Free after 4 pm in general.“

“This spot is a family favorite! We go often either as a family or a girl's night out. Really good beers and wine. Every dish I've ever tried is scrumptious! I absolutely love the salmon salad with warm goat cheese. And, don't forget deserts - taste of heaven!Parking: Usually pretty easy to find a spot.“

“Our family enjoys dinner at Silver Diner in Merrifield. Food is always so delicious! Furthermore, Peter is the most attentive, kind and always welcoming server you will ever encounter!! He makes our experience each time, so much better! The kids love him!! And he always remembers them and makes them feel special!!“

“November 29th. My wife and I drove up here from Charleston, SC for her training this week on Glenn dr. Just around the corner from you. She told me she wanted soup and sandwiches for lunch. I searched Goggle maps and found your Cafe. Sure glad I did. You guys rocked it. Felt like I was back in the 70's before all the fast food boomed. I am sure 90% of your business are locals. I 100% recommend Joe's to any one looking for good priced, quality home styled food.“

“We LOVE coming to Silver Diner and having Gledys ⭐️ as our waitress today made the visit even more special! She was so welcoming and had our entire table in a good mood and laughing. Her service was fast and friendly and the food was good as always. We will be asking for Gledys the next time we come!!!Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options! Including toast, and French toast!“

“Good customer service is hard to find this day and time. RAY went above and beyond to give us one of the best experiences that my family has ever had at a restaurant. So welcoming right out the gate and didn’t miss a beat the entire time he was interacting with us. It was a pleasure to have been waited on by RAY and we’ll definitely be returning soon bc of his outstanding customer service.Oh yeah… almost forgot… the food was great too!Don’t forget to ask for RAY!!“

“Great food and service, but disappointed that they have been out of AC for two months. They need to tell their customers at the door before they are seated. Not right especially if customers have respiratory issues. Some in the restaurant that day were experiencing discomfort Stay away from the Rockville Location until they fix the AC“

“We had the most amazing staff, especially Ashley Ashley was amazing. She was the best white person we’ve ever had. She was charming and polite. She brought everything personally on time and she made suggestions that were just perfect including the pork shank, which was amazing. I’ve never had anything that was that delicious. We had a very difficult person at the table with us. His name was, but I don’t wanna tell you his name, but she was even patient with him. Don’t know if.“

“This place is just awesome! I went to celebrate with my employer and the host was just so sweet and attentive. THE BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER!!!!! You can tell she really enjoys her job and wants to do it and this is hard to find nowadays. Drinks and food was absolutely delicious. I will visit this place again and again.“

“The decor! The service! The food! The Wren is open late and the quality is superb. I had an attentive server who had tried everything on the menu and gave his honest opinions. Dishes are typically izakaya style (like tapas / small plates). I was eating alone and had the sushi special and the fried corn. Service was attentive but not overly so. When eating alone, sometimes you feel rushed to leave and this wasn't the case! It was also 9/10pm on a Wednesday, for what it's worth. Virginia G&T - not my favorite but it was pretty and large! I'm more of a white linen girl and this pretty much tasted like gin and plain soda water (not enough cucumber or citrus) Corn tempura - sweet corn with sea beans in like a patty shape that's tempura fried. The corn is sweet and so incredibly flavorful. I don't know what the dipping sauce was but I loved it. I was also impressed by the matcha salt... A beautiful touch Off menu special - spicy tuna w/ cucumber, topped with smoked salmon and truffle miso. I'm not a fan of smoked salmon but this was almost infused with smoke. It's tangy, not overly spicy, and fresh Shaved ice - I wasn't going to do it. I wasn't. But man am I glad I did! Matcha flavored shaved ice is incredibly light yet still flavorful, raspberry soft serve is potent and tastes of fresh fruit (they keep two flavors on deck, made in the back), and the black bean paste adds a sweet and weightier dessert presence to the dish. Definitely give it a chance, even if you're feeling full! It's just ice :) It was only $63 for my entire meal. Maybe I'm still shocked because I'm used to paying Californian prices, but I'm here for it! I can't speak to the location/parking, but I can speak to the convenience if you're staying at the WaterMark hotel.“

“The service has declined a little over the years, a trend which began even before COVID. But maybe we got spoiled. All GAR locations are still usually better than those in this price point and we go to this restaurant once or twice a month, so that ought to tell you something!“

“Delicious!We visited on saturday lunch and were seated after few minutes of a wait.We ordered the wild mushroom flatbread, chicken benedict and the tuna salad.Everything was amazing!Flatbread had nice truffle aroma with ample mushroom toppings, tuna salad was fresh and cooked just right, but wow the biscuits on the benedict blew me away!!Service was cordial and straight to the point.Will return to try more menus“

“In town with my family for vacation and ended up here twice! Food, drinks and the service was amazing both times. The kids meals are huge and my son loved his both times. The price of everything is also extremely reasonable, especially with how big the portions are. I would highly recommend this place.“

“Bazin's has been a much loved gathering spot for my family and friends since it opened! I will greatly miss this restaurant, but wish the owners and staff much happiness. Our final dinner was amazing as always. Daniel was an extremely attentive waiter. The entire evening was fabulous!“

“This place shines. We were a group of six tonight. What a joy to be treated so superbly. Our servers were attentive, informative and most pleasant. We were an energetic group but nothing this experienced group couldn't handle. Our drinks, wine, seafood, vegetables, meats and giant chocolate cake were delicious.We could have easily stayed for another hour solving many of the earths issues but, alas, it was closing time.We left happy, well-fed, and content.Thank you for a delightful experience.“

“We came to Ocean Paradise for a celebration and it delivered. The food was fantastic. The service was also great. We ordered the crab stuffed mushrooms, the salmon with Asian marinade with the country mashed potatoes and the Caesar salad, two kids fried shrimp, the Cajun salmon, a side of lobster and scallops. Everything was fantastic. The sauces were incredible, but the seafood preparation was perfection for everything we ordered. While simple, whatever sauce or seasoning they put on their white rice, was special. I highly recommend visiting this restaurant.“

“Tucked away in an obscure strip shopping center, this was a great find. It had a nice bistrot atmosphere, with a substantial menu of Italian and continental dishes. The dishes (my wife had mixed grill and I had a branzino with smoked salmon) were carefully prepared and portions were larger than you usually get in more refine restaurants these days. The service was very professional, and even though Saturday night, the food came out much faster than I expected. There was even live soft jazz. With low lighting and a decent wine list, this is a good escape from chains such as the Great American restaurants, suitable for date night and small family or friends dinners.“

“First time back since the transition to Glenwood and sadly the quality of food was not good. The beloved filet of tenderloin was hard to chew and the sauce and flavor was not the same as before. I don't know if it was just a one time fluke or if they have changed vendors and cutting corners. Service was great.“

“Food was good as part of restaurant week, but portions were small even for tapas compared to similar type of restaurants. The most disappointing was the dessert, it was more of a tasting than a small plate. Ambiance and service was good, just needed more food... so what did I do... go across the street and get some ice cream! Yum.“

“Another Great American restaurant that just absolutely kills it! I’ve yet to go to a location where the beef ribs were available and wow were they good! Meat feeling off the bone good!!If you’re ever at Coastal Flats, the crabcake sliders are an absolute MUST since they don’t have them at other locations (at least from what i know)!! This is a NON negotiable, so freaking good!!!!The bread pudding is always warm inside and the ice cream is a perfect pair to match with it.“

“Late lunch at Millers was great! Had the Brunch burger and my wife had the zinger salad. Both were perfect.Our server Gerson was very attentive and brought the food quickly and he was very nice.Restaurant and restrooms were clean.Can’t wait for our next visit.“

“Amazing food and amazing service! We were greeted with such a friendly staff. All the severs helped each other out. They were so attentive and kept our drinks filled and kept checking in on us. The food was 10/10. All their food is locally sourced and they have an actual beehive that produces honey which they use on their cheesecake.“

“Came for dinner after my MRI at the MRI Center of Fairfax. We sat at the tables beside the bar. Geri was awesome. So kind and shared some personal stories with us.We both enjoyed a flight of four draft beers. My husband had grilled chicken sandwich and I had the Southwest Salad. Both were really good. The slaw with the firecracker shrimp was addicting.Wheelchair accessibility: Handicap Parking and alternate door entrance and wheelchair lift from bar to main floor“

“Great place! My experience would not have been so amazing if it wasn’t for Sean the bartender. He is such a great person overall, and he knows exactly what he’s doing behind the bar as well as outside the bar. He is very attentive and socializes with all of his customers. He is such an outgoing person and enjoys talking to his customers. What outstanding service! You dont see many bartenders like Sean as often anymore. (HE BEST ESPRESSO MARTINI EVERR!)“

“I’ve never heard of this place until today and glad I came. My friends and I tried their burger and it was probably one of the most flavorful burgers I’ve had. Presentation looks like a simple burger but the taste is outstanding. They nailed the beef done medium, their house sauce is balanced, and their bun was great. Their fries were also very crisp and done right. I ordered another burger to-go since it was so good. I’ll be coming back to try the other things on their menu. The owners were also very kind which made the overall experience a good one.“

“Our family of 6 enjoyed 4 meals at Amphora's Diner Deluxe over our vacation. Dennis was our server twice and he is amazing. Each time our food was delicious and left us satisfied for our long days in DC. We might not be back again but we will recommend from afar in CT. Thank you again!!“

“The papusas are excellent, and the service was very friendly. We just tried the cheese papusas but I can't wait to go back and try this steak and cheese I keep reading about!Edit: I came back to try the steak and cheese papusa, A++ will definitely be ordering it again!“

“food was incredible! everything we had was homemade and super scrumptious. the staff were all friendly, knowledgeable about the menu, and generous with recommendations. parking behind the restaurant was free and easy to access. will definitely be back!“

“I've driven past PJ Skidoos multiple times, and have always wanted to stop in. I'm happy I did. Inside you're greeted by a friendly hostess who walks you through a beautiful, dark wood, dining room. The walls are covered with relics from the past. We ordered finger foods: chicken fingers, and potato skins. Both were outstanding. Lastly, I ordered the French Onion (I try them wherever I go). Overall the FO Soup was good, it had the perfect amount of cheese and wasn't overwhelming with onions. My only suggestion would be a pinch more salt in the broth. Side note* I would have ordered an Old Fashion if the bar had ice molds (Large Ice Cube). I'm not sure why bars don't carry the silicone molds to make them. All that being said, I'll be back, and I'll bring friends.“

“The place is always full, the food is delicious, it's just that mine was very spicy, I couldn't finish it, the service is great, their desserts are xelis and the fruit beers are the most delicious I've tried, I will definitely return.“

“My first impression was with the young lady at the door. We had a brief conversation about the place before she seated me. My server Elle was just as impressive. The eggs Benedict and very creative hsshbrowns were fantastic. Can't wait to go back.“

“Everytime were in town, we stop by now... we've only been here twice. The food, service and atmosphere are all great! They've had live music both times we've been here and we usually try to get seats at or by the bar.(See Photos section for my pictures)“

“LOVE this spot in the City. Always great food and great energy. Locally owned and it's the sister location to Clare and Don's. Atmosphere is not what you would expect, but definitely fits the vibe. Food is always fresh and the staff is attentive. If you have's had a chance to visit Lazy Mikes you need to! They have outdoor seating available too.“

“We went to the restaurant down at the wharf….. To start, the hostess at the front was on her phone and not really paying any mind to the people walking in the door. Come to find out after that was the floor manager. Then we get sat and none of the workers talk about who is in charge of that section. We did. It get me is or silverware. The very nice bartender comes up, gets us some water and menus gets us started and finally the sever comes over to us. The server took our order and checked on us twice. When the food was brought to the table we still didn’t have silverware and had to ask the food runner. Our server had a a ten top when we arrived and she was checking on her the whole time not paying any mind to the other tables she has. It was to the point I had to go up to someone ask for water refill bc both our glasses were empty. We finish our meals that were very good and no one but the bartenders are on the floor. I see our sever walk over to the restroom, she comes out looks at us and sees that we are sitting doing nothing, then walks over to a new 10 top and disappears. It’s at thing point I now have to walk over to the bartender and get our check and they are the ones that cash us out. Thank you to the bartender that took care of us“

“What can you not say about a place that has craft beer coming out the door, great food incl vegetarian options and above all, staff that care. I’m from Canada, sorry. I was lucky to come here a couple of times. The first time it was with a new staff member being trained. As I drank my delicious IPA and ate my monster pretzel I saw mentoring and tips on how this newbie could fly. On the second visit it was a “casual pint” to decompress after some challenging news. It was the same guy who was training the other day. Beers were suggested, lil tastes given and the beer selected made the conversation. Luis thank you for being a highlight of the trip. To anyone reading this review. It’s so worth the stop.Vegetarian options: Some selection incl broccoli beer. ?Wheelchair accessibility: It’s nice and open for the layout.“

“Excellent service. The whole crew was on-point like clockwork for a busy Saturday night. We adore Amy's energy! Seated for dinner, a selection of delicious hors d'oeuvres created a little party at our table. The entrées looked very good. Cheers to the chef and staff! The table wine was excellent and served European style (without needing to select origin or year). In a winery, this is a nice touch for dinner. The bar in the entry hall was full, possibly with a wine tasting event, and looked super fun!! Thank you very much for a fantastic evening. Cooper's Hawk is so easy to add to a stable of restaurants that it could become a lifestyle.“

“This restaurant is extremely clean, and the food is amazing! I loved the atmosphere as well. The serving size is very big and our order was ready within 10 minutes. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who is looking for halal italian in the DMV area.“

“Cafe Kindred is the best! I placed a catering order for an event I was hosting at my business. Everything and everyone was so great and helpful! From answering my questions to placing the order and picking it up, everything was seamless! My event was successful and everyone raved about the food!! Thanks Cafe Kindred!!!!“
