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.”

“Ate there for the first time tonight and we will be going back. The food and drink were really good. Our server Olivia was great and had good recommendations. Thanks for a good meal!”

“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.”

“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!”

“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!”

“We’ve been talking about your pizza since our visit last year! You went above and beyond today, delivering piping hot pies and wings in 6 inches of snow. Delivery worker was kind, careful, and so polite. Appreciate y’all!”

“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..”

“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!”

“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 selections, but staff doesn't seem knowledgeable. I've had MANY wonderful experiences here before but today was not great. I order a 2 scoop cone and each scoop was like a half a scoop... I am not happy that I paid 5 dollars for the smallest 2 scoops. The picture is the cone and the small 2 scoops...”

“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.

“Picked up a take and bake last night 1st time having Keith's pizza. I worked in a pizza kitchen for many years. The pizza i took home and made in my oven was amazing it was like it was right out of their oven. Thanks for a great 1st experience I would say get one and try for your self. A little pricy but the quality is off the chart”

“The manager Kate has some of the best customer service I have ever seen. She’s super patient and very into returning starbucks back to its “third place” feel, which is super refreshing as someone coming from the cities. Love the atmosphere and the employees are super kind.”

“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!”

“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!”

“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 😊.”

“Love the fries. Better tasting & served HOT!!! Plus they don't have the aftertaste like MC Donalds & the fries don't get cold & hard like any of the other fast food chains.”

“I had a great experience at Baskin-Robbins. The ice cream was delicious, with plenty of flavors to choose from, and everything tasted fresh. The staff was friendly and the service was quick. It’s a great place to stop for a sweet treat, whether you’re getting a classic flavor or trying something new.”

“Read next update below: 👇
We arrived at Applebee’s and decided to take a quick dinner before we went shopping. The food was fast and accurate and our waitress was completely on top of it and we are very thankful.

Update: 10 Aug 2026 completely opposite of the last 5 ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ review 4 months ago. Waited 10-15 to be waited on for our drink order. 15 minutes for it to arrive and then place our appetizer order. We finished our appetizer and never saw the waitress again since ordering. We were going to order dinner too but after waiting another 10-15 minutes we ended up leaving and went to Ruttger’s. We came in to see the updated restaurant and have dinner. Probably ⭐⭐s this time. Co-workers daughter was there the same night and she had the same experience as us. Hope it’s not a new standard. Yikes 😳”

“I know Hardee's in New Ulm MN has had some issues, but I went there today and was more than impressed! there were at least four people working there and they were so friendly and the food came really fast. it was fresh and hot and delicious! I can't wait to go there again, it looks like they have really pulled it together!”

“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.”

“Always leave full and happy!”
