Bert & Ernie's restaurant is closed, at least temporarily

Bert & Ernie's restaurant in downtown Great Falls has closed - at least temporarily.

The restaurant is located at 1st Avenue South and 3rd Street.

"Closed" signs are placed on the doors and windows.

Janet Neil, the owner, told KRTV that the decades-old restaurant is closed for a "re-set."

She said that there are "lots of balls in the air" and they are considering several options.

Neil stressed that she and her team are grateful to all of their customers and the entire community, but she isn't able to say yet if or when the restaurant will re-open.

The Bert & Ernie's restaurant in Helena is not affected and remains open.
