“Absolutely love this place. Great costumer service, amazing food, and great environment!”

“Always a good place for a sweet treat! Sometimes I’ve heard people say Crumbl cookies are too sweet, but for someone like me, who has a sweet tooth, the flavors are great!
I will say that the delivery fee might be a bit too high at times.”

“The pastries are perfect! And the service was great! I walked in at closing time and the gal was so friendly and took our order still ❤️”

“Great food. Wonderful service.”

“Very delicious food!!! polite and helpful waiters”

“This is my first time purchasing a cup of “latte” at the butler’s express event in Lake Helen. I love the set up they have as a mobile coffee shop. But was a bit disappointed ☹️ because my latte for $5.35 was not really a latte. I was more like a regular coffee with milk. The milk was not steam but warmed up with a frother and the coffee was not an espresso, it tasted good 😌 but will not call it a Latte and be charged as a Latte. I understand that it might take a little longer to make a real latte as a food truck but we all know there’ll always be some type of a wait time. I will try them again and hopefully this time a real latte is serve. From a professional coffee drinker”

“I would 110% recommend Blarney Stone to everyone! I recently had my wedding there and the staff went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed! Everything was absolutely wonderful, from the customer service, to the drinks, to the food!”

“The nicest owner and so good coffee!!”

“This place is always good for a good take and bake kinda night. 👌 Highly recommend if you don't mind making your own. Very friendly, easy going staff. No muss no fuss.

Wheelchair accessibility: More than manageable 👍🏼”

“Had a FANTASTIC bowl of beef ramen here the other day … VERY flavorful. The serving staff is also always top notch. Also very affordable in my opinion. New favorite small business in town to support . Check them out !”

“Service is always of equal importance to me as the food, and both are outstanding. I can't wait to go back!”

“I got a pizza it was delicious. Just one problem. For a $17 pizza I was expecting it to be a lot bigger that it was. I don't think I would order from here again just to expensive for what you get. But it was still delicious and I would recommend it to people if they can afford it.”

“Great food great people! Highly recommend”

“I love Karaoke Wednesdays at the CraftCade! Reverend Harm really goes above and beyond to create an awesome karaoke experience for everyone - and I do mean everyone! All are welcome to join in and sing - all levels of talent and ability. All genres of song. No one is made fun of or made to feel ashamed. We support each other and cheer each other on. New singers as well as weekly ‘regulars’ meet, and who could say no to the best pizza in town? Add to that the arcade games and ‘80’s themed atmosphere - the friendly staff - and did I mention, hot dogs? 😎 if you haven’t checked out the CraftCade yet, what are you waiting for?”

“The staff was wonderful! The place was packed and the staff still took the time to sing Happy Birthday to us and make our lunch time special. Hats off to Bismarck North Olive Garden!”

“The owner/bartender is exceptionally nice and personable. The wine wall is a cool & unique touch- try a bunch of different wines or grab a cocktail or beer if wine isn’t your thing. I didn’t eat but all the food coming by looked very good. Live jazz music was really enjoyable at the end of the work day. Definitely worth a visit!”

“Highly recommend for coffee, fresh baked breads, roll etc. brunch and evening wine.”

“The food is good to very good, and the service folks watch it closely to keep it fresh and hot. Lots of dishes to choose from. Cost is reasonable and in line with other local Chinese buffets. Good selection of beef, chicken, shrimp and fish.”

“Take out only still, so atmosphere is can of an n/a. They seem to get orders out pretty quick, 20 minutes is usually what they say on the phone. It's good food. The family special order seems to have less food than before especially the sweet and sour chicken. Their spicy sweet and sour is awesome sauce literally!”

“Soooo yummy!! I got to sample some of these at a get together last night and they were delicious! Christie knows how to make amazing cookies!!”

“Great service and thankful for a manager named, Robert J, who made our trips from all over to our daughter's wedding in Fargo this weekend an enjoyable experience. This restaurant has always been superb when we travel several times a month and stay next door at the Expressway hotel. Great service! Great food every time. We have never had an unpleasant experience. Kudos to manager, Robert J, and your fantastic team!!”

“Typical McDonald's restaurant with all the familiar menu items. Not sure if it was a bad, busy day or what, but my food wasn't very hot and people there were a little cranky. I will use the app for ordering in the future. Seating is ok, and plentiful. Bathroom was clean but we'll used, could use some freshening.”

“Very friendly place, great brewery to grab a drink and hang out. Tried the huckleberry seltzer, which was delicious and refreshing on a hot day. Will definitely be back.”

“I have been to bread poets a few times, and am always impressed. Today I tried them out as a lunch stop and was blown away! I am a vegetarian and it can be difficult to find flavorful, delicious options that are also nutrient dense. I tried their Dakota Garden with Tomato Basil soup, and am blown away! Literally halfway through my lunch and had to run to leave a review! Not to mention, I was in and out within 3 minutes! Thank you so much, Bread Poets!”

“I can’t have gluten and i’ve had some bad experiences with local restaurants because of it. Not so at Shogun. Every time i eat there or order from there the food is perfect! If i get a pickup order everything is clearly labeled as gluten free. It tastes amazing and i don’t have to worry about getting sick. The staff is always friendly and accommodating. I can’t say enough good things about Shogun!”

“FOMO creamery has thee best ice cream/ sherbet in town hands down. I love that the menu changes and so many unique flavors that other places in Bismarck don't have. Plus the workers and owners are all so so kind! Highly recommend. I'm a big fan. 💛”

“Quiet, peaceful, and everything looked so tasty. Waitstaff were friendly, and even though one gal looked to be training, everything went smoothly.

Will come back if Im back in town!”

“This is one of our favorite lunch spots. The food is consistently good. The staff is friendly. There are plenty of TVs.”

“I love the ease of ordering online, paying and then being able to pick up when I choose. The staff is always very friendly & they do a great job putting the pizzas together.”

“I very rarely review anything online, but Conner at Nothing Bundt Cakes needs a shout out! If you want to renew your hope in customer service, he’s it! Everything he does is with a smile and goes above and beyond to make customers feel welcome. He is ja genuinely wonderful person that will make your day better just by interacting with him. Keep being awesome, Conner!!”

“I absolutely love their food! Pick orders are fast and everyone is so friendly! 1000% recommend 😊”

“Delicious food, plenty of selection that has an authentic Chinese taste that you won’t find at your run of the mill Chinese buffets. There is something for every one to chose from and the bubble teas are delicious. The atmosphere is very welcoming and the staff were extremely friendly.”

“Stopped here on the way home from our road trip. The food was Fantastic! Had the Polar bear pizza and Meatball stroganoff with a house salad. Loved the vibe and decor, just a great find in a little strip mall! Delicious!! Hope to get back some day!”

“Food was great today, best loaded nachos I have had there. They are so friendly and always polite.”

“The Deli in Bismarck is one of those places you just keep coming back to—because it’s that good. The salads are always fresh, the sandwiches never miss, and the whole place is quaint, clean, and comfortable.

The customer service is always top tier. Friendly, consistent, and welcoming every single time. This has easily become our monthly lunch spot. We’ll talk about trying somewhere new… but honestly, when it’s this good, there’s no need to.

If you want a reliable, feel-good lunch that never disappoints—this is it.”

“Out of the few places I’ve been through on my trip out west and back, BEST PLACE”

“The food is excellent and is always served promptly. Their house margarita is probably the best in town too!”

“Amazing experience at 510.2 Speakeasy! Kenzie was an incredible server, friendly, attentive, and full of great surprises. We asked for six surprise drinks and Piper, John and Kenzie absolutely nailed it. Don’t forget about Q, he’s the man!”

“Joyhouse Coffee ☕️ is the best coffee shop in Bismarck. Their drinks are all made fresh with natural ingredients and are always updated while keeping the classics. They have a wonderful on-site baker who is creative and bakes fresh goodies daily. Be sure to try the Brown Sugar Pop-Tart. 😋 But along with the soothing atmosphere in the actual coffee shop you have the choice to sit in the church lobby, which offers small group seating and a fireplace. Joyhouse Coffee includes an indoor play area with monitors in the coffee shop plus an outdoor playground right outside the window. Perfect for kids and parents to enjoy and open to our whole community. Benefit yourself and try this wonderful place.”

“As someone that is extremely picky about my coffee, I was extremely pleased the first time I visited 12 Stones. The coffee tastes wonderful, the atmosphere is warm and cozy yet modern, and the service is great. They also have easy parking which I appreciate when I am in a hurry. Needless to say, I have become a regular customer and rate this as a top coffee shop in Bismarck!”

“Pretty good. They refilled the food in a timely manner. We did have some issues with I think the grill not being totally cleaned off from a spicy dish and it transferring to one of our plates. But that's the risk you take.”

“Great staff, great atmosphere, great coffee!”

“Best Mexican food in town”

“We had Lucky’s/Main Bar do our bar for our wedding and they were fantastic! Several positive comments about Tanya and Bryan about drinks, cleanliness, and promptness during our wedding/party. Bryan was very on top of things prior to the wedding and had excellent communication. We had all of the alcohol that we had asked for and more. Our venue was out of town on a private farm and they came extra prepared! Drinks were ice cold and service was impeccable. I would absolutely recommend them to serve at any event! 10/10!”

“Always great service. Food was excellent. Shout out to McKenzie! She was an amazing waitress today.”

“Kenzie at Luft Bar is hands-down the best of the best in Bismarck. From the moment you sit down, she makes you feel welcome, taken care of, and like a regular—even if it’s your first time. Her energy is unmatched, her service is flawless, and she knows how to make the whole place feel alive. Drinks are always on point and the vibes are elite. If Kenzie’s behind the bar, you already know you’re in for a great night. Luft Bar is lucky to have her!”

“Was there today after horrendous thunderstorms for a kids birthday party. Employees were friendly, constantly checking on us, and so courteous. . Food was good. I had to wonder why we don't visit here more often. have you ever tried their loaded baked potatoes? Made the decision to do lunch there and check their specials (happy hour, half price appetizers). Nicest employees ever! Felt they all enjoyed working there. Best fries I've had in a long time.”

“the battered chicken melts in your mouth. super delicious.”

“Yum!”

“My favorite spot with all the games on TV, no matter what sport, great staff, and decent prices.”

“We were visiting Bismarck for Christmas and we stopped in Scotty’s on December 26th. We ordered three kids meals, the Kraut burger and the pizza burger, fries and onion rings. The food was fantastic. Owner offered my four year-old one of their model Mustangs. we thanked him, but told him we were flying right after we left there and we don’t have any room in our luggage. He asked me to write down my address and he would ship us one of the model Mustangs. We received the package yesterday. Not one but two of the model Mustangs. My boys have been playing with them since they got them. Not only would I recommend this drive-in for the quality of food, but also for the quality of the people that own and work there. Great food, better people!”

“First time I ordered online and the food was exactly how I ordered it and handed to me fresh out of the oven at exactly the time the app said it would be.
Excellent!!!!”

“My wife and I love coming here, the last time we went I didn’t know what I wanted and told the gal working to surprise me. She absolutely killed it and my only complaint is that I didn’t ask what it was! 12/10”

“Love it so much!! I go here regularly :) staff are very friendly”

“Nobody asked, but I just overheard one of my staff members tell a customer “I have the best manager, she got us Laughing Sun as catering for our Christmas party!” If you’re on the fence about who to book for your next event, take this as your sign! Order here! I had to stop arguments about how much each individual could take for leftovers. Ps, a little oil and Laughing Sun’s pulled pork fried in a yellow corn tortillas with cheese and some of their bbq sauce drizzled is the way to go when reheating 😉 Thank you laughing sun! I look forward to working with you again!”

“Awesome burgers and fries. Cherry Coke is cool also”

“My friend and I were greeted as soon as we walked in the door by the bartender Matt. We sat at the bar as we are from Canada and wanted to get a feel for the place. Let me just say, he is an exceptional bartender. He was chatting with everyone and staying on top of everyone's drink orders. The Tavern was filled with great energy, great people and great staff. Not only that, but they had karaoke, and it was lots of fun listening to everyone sing their hearts out. 10/10 will recommend to anyone and we will definitely be back soon!”

“Top notch! I love Pizza Ranch wherever I go. Bismarck is the 193rd location The Legendary Pizza Ranch Guest ever visited.”

“This place has the best donuts I have ever tasted. The owners are incredibly friendly and welcoming. If you have time, stop by and get one of their delicious donuts. My favorite is the maple Long John.”

“Best place in town! Fantastic coffee without the huge prices. Friendly service.”

“Went here for my first time today and it was so good! My waitress (Tanya) was awesome to chat with at the bar and was super good at explaining anything and everything on the menu! You could tell she was SWAMPED being the only one serving/bartending but handled it like a champ and had a good attitude throughout. The food was good, Tanya was great. 12/10 will pop back in if I see her at the bar next time I’m at the mall!”

“I've experienced some amazing people at the window here. They do an excellent job of taking the order and filling it correctly with a warm smile and friendly demeanor. I appreciate when my money supports people that want to brighten your day and will continue to take my business to them.”

“This was my family's first time eating here, and I must say WORTH IT! food was delicious and the atmosphere was great. Will definitely recommend it to friends and family.”

My drink a 'Large Hot Oatmilk Earl Grey Latte with Full White Chocolate and Full Lavender', was AMAZING!!!
Did I mention how FAST they made my VERY specific and picky drink?🥰
They did so while being incredibly friendly.
Also, were willing to put my drink in this cute cup that they offer, which I had purchased at an earlier visit!!
I truly appreciate the great service they give. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thank you Caribou!!!”

“Must have if in Bismarck.”

“There was a misunderstanding with my order and when I went to ask for the meal, they ran out of the special and were going to refund me. I asked if I could get a meal of the same value and they has to call the supervisor to get permission, which I understand is protocol. They gave me a meal of the same value and the supervisor came to our table with a refund. Great customer service from everyone.”

“Great service and thankful for a manager named, Robert J, who made our trips from all over to our daughter's wedding in Fargo this weekend an enjoyable experience.

The hashbrowns were actually cooked on both sides. The pancakes tasted delicious(approved by my daughter) and bacon was perfectly done to our liking!

(I had the Clara's special my daughter had the kids Cake meal.)”
