30 Best American Restaurants in Bismarck

“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 !“

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

“Maggie was the best server I’ve ever had she was so nice an caring, if I could have her every time I went there I would go there everyday!“

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

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

“We had our work holiday party in the Board Room. The wait staff was beyond amazing and friendly. The food was great as well! This was was personally my first time there and I will be back!“

“The thing that stood out to me most about Lucky 13’s Pub is how it managed to cater to both families and adults. When you walk in there is a toy chest where kids can take a toy to entertain themselves while you eat. But they also had bingo happening so adults could drink and play. It’s a big space so you don’t really hear kids if they are being loud. There is a great bar area too in case you don’t want to be anywhere near kids too.
The service was fantastic and the food was really good too. Plus their happy hour has giant mugs of beer for only $5 which is an insane deal in my opinion.

Vegetarian options: I didn’t see a ton of vegetarian options, but I also didn’t look very hard

Parking: I’ve never had an issue finding parking

Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly

Wheelchair accessibility: All one level and tables are spaced well. Bar is high so that would no be accessible for wheelchairs“

“Fantastic food! Inside and outside of this establishment is very clean and neat. Friendly staff and food is very fairly priced. Love the menu. Might just be our new favorite in Bis!“

“A staple for Bismarck locals. Consistent good food and kind staff. Our server Kyleigh this last visit was an absolute delight. Kind, caring and told us “no rush to pay enjoy each other company and take your time to visit.” She was the most pleasant server I have had in Bismarck/Mandan recently.“

“My family never seems to have much luck when going out to eat any more but the Ground Round in Bismarck delivered. We were seated quickly, had good service, and our food came out quickly and correct. I will make sure to support this business in the future!“

“love eating here! awesome food!server Alicia is working it and on top it!“

“The food is always good and the service is ok. But checking out after eating is a pain. Never enough cashiers. Last week one man got tired of waiting and walked out without paying.“

“microwaved French fries... $14 rewarmed crunchy piece of lasagna... $24 rock hard day old garlic bread..$4.99 The only good thing was the service, however there were barely any customers so should expect good service! Never Again!“

“Had the best Monday night experience at The Jousting Lemur in downtown Bismarck.

Monday nights are all-you-can-eat prime rib, and it absolutely did not disappoint. The atmosphere is something special — classy, warm, and the kind of place that actually makes you want to dress up for a proper date night or evening out.

We had the chance to visit with the owner, Ryan, who was spectacular and incredibly welcoming. While we were there, we even ended up planning ahead for some of their upcoming events — including dueling pianos and a murder mystery dinner, which sound like they’re going to be so much fun.

If you’re looking for a place in Bismarck that feels a little elevated, a little different, and truly memorable, this establishment is a must visit.

We will definitely be back.“

“Our family experience "THE" BEST CARAMEL ROLLS ever! Fresh bakery from cookies, bread, bagels(put them on the map) and great services. Breakfast & Lunch is SPOT-ON!“

“Excellent food and service was second to none. The cottage cheese kuchen was frozen but the caramel apple kuchen was very good.“

“Stopped in to Applebee's and were immediately greeted by the hostess. Once seated, we were told the specials and given time to look at the menus. Shortly after that the manager Stopped at our table to see how we were doing. She was very professional and pleasant. We ordered and received our drinks and food in a very timely manner. Drinks were outstanding and the food delicious. Will definitely be going back.“

“Our first time at a Culver's. Why didn't we go sooner? It's a coke shop, I know, bummer. Bacon cheeseburger was awesome. Roast beef was good. Fries were delicious. She said i could have hers, but she liked them so much, immediately glad i got my own. As busy as it looked, there was plenty of seating, not as many of the booths were open. Only one soda fountain, so it backed up people in a line getting refills several times while we were there. Parking was better than it looked. Drive through looks quick but it's because they usually have you park and wait but at least the line moves quickly. We were there near lunch time and the drive through never slowed down. We will be going back, if nothing else to try the custard, but seriously the food was great and filled is both up.“

“We had a work function in the 701 Lounge this week. Everyone had a wonderful experience. Danna the manager had everything for us set up perfectly. The Bartenders (Jordan and Paige) were very attentive, even though our string ordering was probably annoying, lol. The entire crew will definitely be back.“

“Stayed for two nights, room was not cleaned after first night. One of the lamps in the room would not work, no wash clothes in the bathroom and only two towels. Bathroom did not have a fan, so everything gets dripping wet when taking a hot shower. Not a big deal but it does get my attention. Room did not have a guide to the hotel services and amenities. We did have an advanced reservation, yet it seemed to take slightly longer than I would expect to get checked in. We made the reservation via Expedia, and I have noticed that we always seem to get one of the least desirable locations for the actual room. I say this because I have noticed a difference in the whole process when booking directly with Radison vs other booking options. Seems to be intentional. Staff was great, room was comfortable. I am nit picking, mainly because basically they did a good job.“

“had the fish & chips ! was delicious as usual!! can't forget the cucumber Margaritas!! yummy yummy!!“

“We were happy to find a place with vegan options (not many choices in Bismarck). Overall it was good... not great, but good. I appreciate having a few vegan protein choices as well. Portion sizes were solid, and the containers are heart shaped AND reusable ? We were just passing thru North Dakota, but I would return if we were ever in town again. Recommend this spot for my fellow vegan travelers ✌️??“

“Great late night dining- can’t wait til they are 24 hours again!! 😉“

“good food at a great price“

“I love going to Applebees! Sometimes it can be a little hit or miss. The service is never bad but varies from medium to good. Same for the food. Today my fries were a little less fresh than I would have preferred. The 2 for 25 menu is my favorite!“

“Great food and great service.
Stopped in during a road trip during a bitter cold storm and had a really solid experience. I ordered the 6oz filet cooked medium rare with a loaded baked potato, side salad, and bread. Everything was cooked perfectly and tasted absolutely amazing.
I was offered walk-up seating at the bar, which worked out well. Service was fast, friendly, and attentive without being overbearing. Food came out quickly and exactly as ordered.
Exactly what you want from a LongHorn Steakhouse. I would absolutely stop here again.“

“Met with friends on a Wednesday evening. We of course had lots to talk about. Our server was wonderful and she allowed us to visit with no rush. Food was excellent. We admired to historical items in the area we sat. Haven't been there in ages and not sure why. Will be going back again soon!“

“food was fresh and delicious minus missing hash browns“

“This place is awesome and OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. A fair warning, they are always (seemingly) playing monastery choir music throughout the WHOLE building.

Dietary restrictions: They have an entire area dedicated to people with dietary restrictions and allergies.

Parking: While the parking is intended for campus users, there is plenty of parking for other patrons as well.

Kid-friendliness: Our experience with the crow's nest was excellent. They had wonderful options for kids and adults alike. The staff were also extremely friendly towards my son.“

“Went here for a philly. Did not expect to find the most authentic philly this side of the Mississippi. As someone who has been to Philadelphia and eaten a philly, these guys know ball. By default it comes with cheez whiz for the cheese just like it does out in the streets of Philadelphia. Service is great, the seating is good, and the Phillys are great. Can't tell you about any of the other sandwiches, haven't tried them, but the phillys hit.“
