My husband's cheese burger was so good, my corn dog was so good like the fair's, they hand dip the hotdogs, Yum, our fries were good. The service was great, keep in mind they cook to order so it takes a little longer, be patient. the young lady was so sweet and polite, did I tell you they come to your car to take your order and they bring your food.

Ford's is a blast from the past. The food is amazing! Service is quick and dependable. We've been gone from GF for a few years now but we still talk about Ford's frequently.

One of the best deals in town I stopped here for lunch sometimes I'll have the loaded pork chop sandwich other times I'll just have a double cheeseburger but one of the most reasonable meals is their clubhouse sandwich comes with french fries I drink for $8.75 I left $1.25 tip for $10 and it's a lot of single people go eat by themselves and their car. It's a great place good service.

Food was great, even for them being out of strips. Lady who ran our food out can use a little enthusiasm or energy as she came off pretty snobby when asking "do you want your change" after giving our total. No have a nice day or thank you. Other than that, they make pretty dang good food everytime we come.

This is a classic drive-in restaurant with the ambiance to match. The service was excellent. The food about average. It wasn't bad at all; it just wasn't anything that I would say is special. If your hankering for a burger and shake or something similar, this is a good place to go. Four stars for the service and ambiance. Three for the food.

They keep it simple but the food is great!! We had cheeseburgers, fish and chips, onion rings, fried egg sandwich, and egg salad sandwich--everything was delicious. We try to eat here every time we are in Great Falls. Have to mention the amazing service--always thoughtful and friendly. But need to remember NO CREDIT CARDS, you need cash.
