Good Time Charlie's — Restaurant in Great Falls

"You're not supposed to knock it over, Goofball." My server, Paige, spoke so quietly and matter-of-factly as she walked past, it took a moment for me to register what she'd said. (Especially since I had just bumped into my lemonade and spilled about two-thirds of it down the wall next to my table and onto the carpet.) That's when I knew that Good Time Charlie's was a perfect match for me.

Paige is an absolute character and an utter delight. She recommended the Charlie Fries to go with my bacon cheeseburger, and boy, am I ever glad she did! They are the most delicious anything I've put in my mouth since summer started (it is now August). The instant my plate arrived, I dove headfirst into these succulent deep-fried slices of baked potato and munched several bites out of my dinner roll (aka burger bun) before I remembered to photo-document for this review. (I deconstruct my burgers; don't judge me!)

My only complaint is that my burger had American cheese on it. But that's my own fault. Had I been paying attention, I am quite confident they would have happily substituted that for me. After all, Paige did bring a rag to clean up the lemonade spill and arranged for Grenadine to be added to my lemonade.

That lemonade was fantastic, too. Tart and refreshing, it still carried some pucker power even with the syrup added. All in all, I think I may have found my new favorite dinner hangout in Great Falls. Especially if Paige sticks around, being her irresistibly snarky, sassy, and amazing self.

The location is easy enough to find when using Google Maps, though the sign simply proclaims "RESTAURANT" in humongous yellow letters. It shares a building (and apparently a kitchen) with Cody Bill's Steakhouse (in case...

I would give this a 0 but the apple juice was okay so I gotta give them some credit. The water Nancy C. Was nice but she seemed highly unconcerned when we addressed our concerns about our experience... We ordered biscuits and gravy because reviews showed they were good. Absolutely disgusting!!! They were so doughy and all of the food was cold. It didn't even take long for the food to come out, I genuinely don't understand why it was so cold. Apple juice was the best part of our meal by far! We had biscuits, Gravy, eggs, hash browns, sausages, bacon, apple juice, and veggies. Nothing was good except the apple juice....the only thing they didn't make! Growing up this place was delicious and amazing!! Hopefully it gets turned around cause it will be a long while before...

We wanted to try Cody Bill's for their steak dinner, but they were closed for remodeling. Good time Charlie's didn't have a ton of people, so we decided to try them to see if we liked it. First off, the waitress was outstanding. She took our order and was honestly very friendly, patient, and very helpful. I ordered the steak and shrimp dinner, and my husband ordered the chicken fried steak meal with a side of fried shrimp, plus side salads. Our salads arrived and we ate them, our entrees came our and the food looked amazing, and tasted just as good. My steak was cooked to perfection. The chicken fried steak was crispy on the outside and so tender in the inside. So delicious. We will...
