This delightful family run eatery just served me one of the best breakfasts I've ever had. Pancakes were fluffy, quality butter, and a fresh boysenberry syrup. I'm a big maple guy and even combined both, just delicious. Had a large omelette, the veggies had great flavor and I love that they didn't use too much cheese. Ask for the pickled jalapenos for a zesty kick! Lastly the thick bacon was served to crispy perfection.

Passing through yown on way home and wanted a local diner for lunch. Just pulled a name out of the hat situation. And it was a score! Waitress was amazing. Personable, attentive. Food was very good. Fresh cut fries, high quality ingredients. Only downside...we moved too slow and the desserts/baked good were already sold out, but they sounded wonderful. Hidden gen for sure.

This was my first day in Great Falls and decided to try out a local breakfast place. The Family Affair did not disappoint. The staff was super friendly and made sure we were helped quickly, our coffee was always full, and that our food was delicious. Speaking of the food, it was above and beyond what I ever expected. The gravy was out of this world, I almost wanted to order a tub to go! Everything else tasted fresh and homemade. I will be coming back and bringing any friends or family who visit me to this restaurant.

This is one of those hole in the wall places that you would not know was there. A friend was raving about it so the next time we were in town for appointments and shopping we went for lunch. She had a patty melt & fries. I had the chicken salad sandwich and coleslaw and my daughter had grilled cheese and fries. The restaurant is small but thankfully there was an open table, albeit next time I don't want the one right by the door cause it was a tad chilly every time it opened. Our server was sweet. Our food came out in a reasonable time. Let me tell you it was so so good! Home made fries yummm. We all shared a bit of each other's lunch. I didn't get any of the baked goods but my friend took some home to her kiddo for an after school snack that was met with rave reviews. Highly recommend this place!

We had such a great experience! Our server provided amazing customer service, and the food was absolutely fantastic, so full of flavor! The atmosphere was lively with the sound of happy customers, and even though the space is small, it adds to the cozy charm. Overall, a wonderful dining experience that we’d definitely recommend!

I loved my experience at Family Affair in Great Falls. I ordered the breakfast burrito and it was honestly one of the best I’ve ever had. The house-made salsa? I could literally drink it. Perfectly bright, fresh, and flavorful. The potatoes inside had that perfect crunch that’s so hard to get right, the cheese was melty and comforting, and there was the perfect amount of creamy avocado throughout. Every bite was just chef’s kiss. The whole place has this warm, homey diner feel—like the kind of spot you want to become your regular. The staff was super friendly, welcoming, and you can tell they care about what they do. If you’re looking for a cozy breakfast spot with genuinely delicious food, you’ve got to go to Family Affair. I’m already thinking about when I can go back.

Chicken Salad Croissant. I couldn’t decide between Creamy Chicken Noodle soup or fries. Got both. Patty Melt with homemade Slaw in the background. Food was incredible. Prices below average in my opinion. I overate; but have no regrets. Service by Colleen was excellent. We will be back!

I was searching for a good breakfast. This is a small place with a local feel. Very courteous and accommodating service. The meat lovers omelette was excellent and the hash browns were finished crispy. A perfect breakfast!
