This is an "american diner" in Great Falls of the "un ironic" category- i.e. unchanged since the 50s or 60s when it opened.
So... uh... we were driving back from Glacier National Park and we decided to check out Great Falls for an afternoon (you can totally "do" Great Falls in a single afternoon, FYI).
This was the place we selected for lunch based on... the sign? Great Falls has totally awesome signage and a downtown that looks like it was used for the town in Back to the Future- when Michael J. Fox went back in time?
The hours are 8- 2PM and the amiable old woman behind the counter would like us all to know that Top Notch serves breakfast right till close, that the burgers are great and that you just can't get meals like the ones they serve at Top Notch.
With the exception of the french fries- which were "fresh cut" and deliciously greasy as all hell, she was wrong about the food, which was nothing spech- straight up american dinner fare- where adventurous is jalapeno on your cheesburger. Nothing wrong with that , mind you, nothing wrong with that.
CDW has the BLT and she most displeased with tbe bacon which was limp and, again, greasy (sense a trend?). As CDW said at the time, "Can't you at least get the bacon crisp at a place like this."
Also featured an amusing conversation between (old, male, white) locals who were talking about how modern women are so "high maintenance"(their phrase!)
