What Great Falls craves (Part 2, independent restaurants)

Last Friday we asked the Great Falls Facebook community what restaurants they would love to see here. Four days later we received over 200 responses. We already reported your most wanted restaurant chains, so let's move on to suggestions for individual cuisines or independent restaurants.

Seventeen comments focused on the need for more good Mom and Pop shops; local ingredients, both produce and meats; and uniqueness and originality:

Amy G.:"We have a tremendous resource of food in our backyard, and restaurants don't utilize it. There's beef, chicken (I think if the market was there we'd have more smaller operations willing to supply them), lamb, and it looks like pork is finally coming around to being more available around here (...)"

Amy M. C.:"(...) Something fusion mixing modern elements with good ol' home cookin' (think steak meets exotic mushrooms in a gorgeous stack.) "

Bill S.: "I'd like to see the restaurants we have try to do a better job sourcing ingredients here in Montana and promoting it on their menus. Most of the time you can't even get a "Made in Montana" steak or burger in a steakhouse."

Brian N.: "(...) Good and local with a unique flair bring it on. (...)"


The most popular cuisines were:

1. Thai (8)
2. Italian (7)       // over 40 if we count Olive Garden votes.
3. Fresh Seafood (6)  // 28 if we count Red Lobster votes.
4. Indian (4)
