"I really love this place! It's so cute and I really love their quaint little front porch! The food is always good and everyone is always nice. We had Brittany last time and she was great! Brittany, if you read this, my son, dog, and I went to find that waterfall we talked about-- apparently we passed it and ended up sinking in this mud in the construction zone-BAD lol-and finally had to turn around, and some folks were coming out of the woods and showed us where it was. Then I ended up saving a turkey vulture that was hung upside down from string high up in a tree on the side of the road. It turned into quite an adventurous day! But yes-- EAT HERE!"

"Order from their daily special. I got there burgers steak with everything on it along with fries, popcorn shrimp, and coleslaw. My husband got their steak with rice and veggies. We also got their peach cobbler for dessert. The food, service, and people were great. We'll definitely be stopping by again whenever we're in town."

"Ok. First let me say - WE LOVED THIS PLACE ! After traveling for nearly 12 hours to ride at Carolina Adventure world, we were looking for a place to eat supper. We googled a local place and stumbled upon the Flopeye Diner ! It was AWESOME. The food was really good. And the portions were HUGE ! They make their own fried pickles fresh- YUMMY !!! The staff (our waitress was delightful !) was perfect. It was the day before thanksgiving so, I'm sure they were ready to get out of there when we stumbled in, but they were so kind and enjoyable. The waitress stood and chatted with us a bit and was very engaging. We loved her. If you're in the area, DONT MISS THIS SPOT !"

"My daughter just LOVES fried fish, she is a real conessour of a tasty filet. We were traveling through Great Falls on Saturday and stopped by the Flopeye Diner for a fish plate to go. WOW! Everything was fresh made and piping hot. The portions were extremely generous, and best of all, SO DELICIOUS! I knew knew this place would be good, the parking lot was packed with locals, and we were very pleased with our lunch!"

"I drive by this restaurant quite often. One day I saw a social media post about the restaurant which made me think maybe I should stop by one day. I stopped by on October 15, 2024. I purchased the steak special, 1/2 fried chicken, double cheeseburger, and onion rings. I had the opportunity to speak to a local about Great Falls, and the conversation was enlightening. I wanted to like this place because Great Falls is a small city. The food wasn't to my liking. I would not go back, and wish them much success."

"Huge plate of homemade spaghetti with garlic bread and sirloin steak with fried and coleslaw... Coleslaw can be tricky but it was perfect. The steak was cooked just right and I have paid 4 times the cost at other places and it was not as good. Ended up talking to the owner about her decorations and told her we will be back during an upcoming camping trip!"

- Melanie M.

"My family was heading back down to Columbia from NC and stopped in Great Falls for dinner, and glad we did! Flopeye Diner was a quaint, small town feel diner with a huge choice of food. The waitress was nice and patient with us and the cooks checked on us on how the food was. I had a double cheeseburger with chili and pepper jack while my wife had the special of the day which was sirloin tips in gravy. Everything was delicious, the rice and brown gravy paired with the sirloin tips was tasty and hit the spot. Highly recommend stopping by if you are in the area."
