Restaurants in Bemidji

“Excellent service and fresh delicious breakfast perfectly prepared. Raspberry jam made in house is perfect for dipping your toast. Out of towner and they remember my name and order after just three visits. Coffee is awesome and somehow always ideal drinking temperature at every pour.”

“The Thai’ed up was excellent and outdoor seating was refreshing!”

“The food is always great, the staff is friendly and helpful, and they are pretty quick to get your food. I just wish they had more room, as they can fill up fast.”

“picked one up to bake at home this evening....yum!”

“Beer was really good. Website (currently under construction) listed several food options. When we got there only available food was pretzels in a container. We could order in but no menus from local places, which would be helpful for out of town customers.”

“Absolutely delicious and great friendly service every time! My favorite restaurant in Bemidji.”

“Mi Rancho was the best. We've eaten at many Mexican resturants that all seemed to have the same items prepared the same way. Mi Rancho is unique and authentic.”

“Top notch! I love Pizza Ranch wherever I go. Bemidji is the 167th location The Legendary Pizza Ranch Guest ever visited.”

“Comfortable seating friendly staff excellent food highly affordable”

“Every time we go here, the food and service are amazing! I had the whiskey bacon cheeseburger and have to say... may be the best burger ever!”

“We stopped here after a night out on the town for my soon to be sister-in-law‘s bachelorette night. There was a small weight where we had to sit on a bench outside, I would say about 15 minutes on a Sunday morning. The place was pretty busy, didn’t appear to be very big. The waitress was friendly, and our breakfast arrived pretty quickly. Pretty sure everything is made from scratch there. I had the biscuit and gravy which was amazing! Probably the best I’ve had in MN. Pancakes were good, my friend had a side of bacon pancakes with brown sugar, absolutely delicious! Light and fluffy with delicious savory bacon and just the perfect amount of sweetness….perfection! Even the butter was delicious 😆 I definitely recommend going here!”

“Love the hot wheels!! If you don’t like jalapeños get the regular pizza rolls.”

“Lauren and Alena have been so helpful the last few times I have been into Caribou! When they ask how my day is going, I can tell they mean it! Both of the girls have also given me new recommendations on new drinks to try!! Great customer service from all of the staff I have encountered!”

“Great place for bar food and drinks. Friendly staff”

“Wow, I wish I had a bar like this near me! They seem to have great owners, managers, training, and definitely have some great staff! I never had to wait for a drink, and the food was terrific!”

“Wow! THAT was a wonderful lunch! A cute relish tray to tide us over, dinner rolls and crackers with the soup, choc pudding and cookie with the sandwich! Friendly server, terrific bakery… we were very impressed! Raphael’s will be a regular stop each time we are in Bemidji!”

“Great ice cream with lots of flavors to choose from. The workers are always very friendly and patient.”

“The best coffee shop in town! They have amazing coffee, Red Bull drinks, grilled cheese and breakfast sandwiches. These ladies are fast and always so friendly. I’m always excited to stop by and get some yummy drinks and food from them. They also change up their menu seasonally which is so fun and exciting!!!”

“A fun drivethrough for all of your beverage needs, they have very good coffees and energy drinks and the customer service is top notch. Don't let a long line deter you, they come up to your window to take the order as you wait and by the time you're up there your coffee is done. Fastest line ever, even when long.”

“Pizza was very good, good value and the service was excellent. Very busy location.

Vegetarian options: I am not a vegetarian but I do love vegetables and they had a very good selection.

Dietary restrictions: They had crustless and keto options, probably more.

Parking: Parking spot out front, on the side and in the rear of the building.

Wheelchair accessibility: I believe the door was accessible, did not pay attention this.”

“My kiddo and I enjoyed our lunch today. We will definitely be back.”

“Sandwiches, smoothies & Italian sodas were very good!”

“Highly recommend!! The coffee is always perfect and the staff is helpful and friendly. Personal favorite... Iced Carmel Latte!”

“The food is amazing! Staff have been great when we dine in or take out.”

“Vegetarian options: Grilled cheese sandwiches, pastries, egg sandwiches

Dietary restrictions: There's usually an egg white sandwich option”

“Customer service was above and beyond! Smiles are felt starting in the drive thru and continue all the way to the window. Delightful new French toast sandwiches are super tasty! The drinks are my favorite chilled wake up beverage almost daily! 5 stars!”

“I drove all the way from Rogersville, Tennessee to have a cheeseburger at Slims and was it ever good!!! Oh and I stopped by to see my sister and her great husband for Bemidji. I'll be back again next summer for another great cheeseburger and I'll swing by sis's house just to say Hi..”

“Fun atmosphere.. delish food.”

“Amazing food!! Wonderful staff! Love this place all around!!!”

“I just got done running the Blue Ox Marathon and Big Apple sent bagels to the finish line for runners. I think it might be the best bagel I've ever had in my entire life. Thick, crusty outside and delicious pillowy inside. I can't wait to have another!”

“we went to Sparkling Waters June 7 2022 for my 51st birthday. The servi e was wonderful and inviting. The food was amazing! They have a squash soup that was second to none. We dealt with Logan and his momma. What a beautiful, kind family. Thank you Sparkling Waters for a perfect birthday supper. We've been back for happy hour. Still amazing!”

“The service was phenomenal! Excellent server especially for our large group. I tried the full order of fish and chips. The fish was good but the portion size was very small and I am a person who ALWAYS takes home left overs. I’m not sure what the 1/2 order looks like but I would not recommend given how small the full order was. The other food ordered by our group looked good and everyone said it tasted good. There was another person in our group who ordered the full order of fish and chips and it was the same size so obviously this is what they serve.”

“Went for breakfast and it was pretty good. There were quite a few gentlemen waiting for their food and only one server. She did a great job trying to keep up, but the food came out kind of slowly. Overall it was decent meal for pretty cheap. Worth a try if you’ve never been.”

“Amazing coffee and awesome pricing. I was SOOO happy to wake up at the races and find them parked nearby. Definitely added some sunshine to a dreary morning (and a grumpy attitude!). We went with the chocolate protein coffee and a hazelnut mocha. Blew the national brands out of the water!”

“Their customer service is top-notch! The manager and the rest of the staff are very good. There was a mix-up with my order. The manager resolved the issue very quickly. They have so much respect for our time and were very apologetic for the inconvenience. They even provided us the food for free 😊.”

“I came in just to have a quick Burger and jet out. The decision to stop in quick was the best decision I made that day. Food was great, the service was great and the people in the bar were fin and friendly. I don't drink or anything and I'll be coming back again for food and the atmosphere..”

“Best food in all of Bemidji”

“Pretty decent pizza, we really liked how the crust had a nice crisp bottom but wasn't too thin. The sauce was delicious. Italian sausage and pepperoni were great. Pizza had a good amount of cheese. The waitress greeted us with a warm smile and was very friendly throughout our visit.”

“Fantastic lunch! I’d go back just for the bright, sunny spaces. Our lunch was absolutely delicious. Food was unique and special but not weird. Staff was great, cool place. We’ll be back!”

“Great, reliable Chinese food. They’ve even stayed open late for me just for an order I put in. If you’re from out of town this is definitely a trustworthy restaurant with a great family feel, the staff are super efficient and friendly. I’d consider this a Bemidji staple as a local. A must go in my opinion.”

“enjoyed my First visit! David was 😎 Russian Twist tea and choco java. delicious excited to try more !”

“Food was good. Toppings for my sandwich were heated separately in a sauce pan while rest of sandwich was heated, which I’ve never seen before. Price is to be expected for the touristy area of Bemidji. Perfect for getting a quick bite to eat between seeing the shops.”

“Very accommodating for small parties like baby showers and birthday dinners. The ambiance is perfect for date night and sports bar vibe, and the drinks are always delish!”

“I stopped in and purchased the turtle cheesecake, apple scone, and an oatmeal chocolate chip cookie The turtle cheesecake was amazing!! Every bite was delightful. The apple scone had just the right amount apples, and the icing was just the right sweetness!! The cookie was a large biteful of goodness!!! Make a stop, your taste buds will thank you!!”

“Love Qdoba!!! Great customer service and friendly staff.”

“Fantastic menu ! The soup could have been a full meal. Loved the crab ravioli, and veal meatballs. The lamb shank was awesome!”

“Also known as the bowling alley. Great fun for the family great deal you can check out like free family bowling.

Kid-friendliness: Arcade! The place was built for kids!”

“Celebrated our son’s Confirmation with a delicious lunch at Ruttger’s. Friendly service, amazing food and relaxed atmosphere. Good value for money with something for everyone on the menu. Highly recommend!”

“Great burger! And the beer on tap was nice and cold in a chilled glass. Reasonable prices and friendly service too!”

“This CC is where the nice baristas don't subject non-whites to racism, unlike the CC on Wahinton Ave. They've always been VERY nice at this one, and the women in the bakery and cashiers are THE BEST!!! 1 of the assistant managers was also super professional when I gave him some feedback. Keep up the amazing work to those of you being so nice and working hard!”

“We always loved going to Dairy Queen when Mike owned it. I have been twice this summer and it just isn't the same. They no longer offer chili dogs or chips, and they don't have fountain soda, only cans. They were out of a lot of ingredients to make stuff. There was one girl taking orders and one girl making things, so I expected the wait to be long. They just didn't seem... happy to see us. When Mike owned it, the workers always said hi and treated you like family. I hope this is just growing pains and things get better.”

“Great service, fun barmen and late night food . The music was good the drinks kept coming and my friend and I got absolutely hammered 🤣 . We had a blast !”

“Ordered a meatloaf dinner and this is what I got! it looks like they gave me scraps! I will never order or eat there again! This is what they call a meatloaf dinner and this is what they call a pot roast dinner also! Country Kitchen just sucks now days! Nope they will never get anymore of my money!”

“We came in 15 minutes before they closed and we felt bad being those people but our whole crew was tired and hungry and we really wanted some A&W. The Friday night crew was great! The read back our large order to us to make sure they had it right. Whipped up our food and drinks very quickly and sent us off with a smile. Nowadays you don't always get that at close on a Friday night but that crew really lived up to your standards and please recognize them for it. We really appreciated it.”

“Hope you all know you're awesome and doing a great job!!! Everytime I've been here I've had excellent, fast service with great tasting drinks every time ��”

“Pure excellence! I do frequent this location a fair amount, and it never disappoints. The one time I had an issue, staff made it right, right away!
The service is excellent!
The food is great, with good portions.
There are restaurant is kept clean nice.
Plus the Tjohn’s app is one of the best.
Truly, a great place to eat!”

“These are among the best subs I have ever eaten. The bread and toppings are always so fresh. The quality of their other foods such as soups and desserts are also very good. Price was great with my coupon.”

“After a hard day of work this place really hit the spot. I sat at the bar and the bartender was at the top of his game, service was excellent. Food and atmosphere were what you would expect from a good Applebee's. Great job guys, thank you!”

“I stay in town overnight for work
Always order a pizza from somewhere
But this is by far the best
Got the house special
Fast delivery
And it's amazing
Here every week
I will be ordering from here every week”

“Always leave full and happy!”
