had a really good substantial steak and cheese sub along with fries. atmosphere is casual and a good place to meet with friends, get some work done on your latop or just catch a quick meal. big step up over fast food and a nice place to eat or meet friends. definitely recommended for good casual dining.

Service was friendly and fast! Food was so very fresh, delicious, and great portions. The fried chicken sandwich was so crispy but the meat was so tender inside! The Buffalo chicken wrap was to die for!! Talked with the owner of both the Cafe and Pizza place next door, he was extremely pleasant and humble. Great lunch stop after a day of hiking in Great Falls!

Amazing Rueben Sandwich with Gluten Free bread option! Loved it soo much went back twice in the same day to get another! Reasonable prices and nice smiling faces behind the counter when I ordered. Ate my meals on a comfy leather couch there and just basked in the perfection of this unexpected gem of an experience!
