37 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.“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“Our server, Kylie was an absolute sweetheart! Hands down some of the best service we’ve gotten in a long time. I wish we could have her as our server everywhere we go out! Food was wonderful. We both got the chicken fried steak. Delicious 😋 Kylie suggested trying a club sandwich next visit. I’ll definitely be back to try 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.“

“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!“

“Had their special ALL YOU CAN EAT; Chose the rib combo, which was super good. Their ribs are to die for, as are the garlic mashed potatoes! Cole slaw-same thing...yummy!THAT MEAL CHOICE IS ALWAYS EXCELLENT!

Parking: Availability was good for the busy supper hour!“

“We were greeted when we arrived. We have 4 kids with us and someone can't from behind the counter to offer us a small kids menu that the kids could see better. Food was fast and delicious. I wish they was a Culver's closer to me and I wish everywhere had this level of customer service.“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“Oh wow!! Everything about this place is historical, iconic and beautiful!!! Absolutely loved the vibes, the service and food !!!!! Walleye fingers were my favorite!! Brisket bites were superb! Meat all from Drake ND!! Loveee to support local !!!!!! 😍😍“

“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 ✌️??“

“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!“

“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!“

“My top sirloin steak was very good but not hot. Peas and carrots: very good. However, my salad was, practically, all iceberg lettuce. I think an upgrade to the type of lettuce and adding at least grated carrots would be appreciated. The salad dressing was a packet of unappealing fat-free Kraft dressing. The wait staff was amazing and well-versed on the gluten free items on the menu, but they mentioned they were frustrated that management took away the good salad dressings.“

“Forget the typical date night, check out the Lemur and surprise that special someone in your life! My wife admitted to me that she would have dumped me if it wasn't for our first date here. The food is diverse - seafood from North Dakota's many oceans, Napa Valley wines from ND's many Napa Valleys, and exotic dishes from ND's many jungles. Exotic fruit-infused-water on tap will take your taste buds over the edge. Entertainment that you usually only see at the Fargodome. You just can't go wrong!“

“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.“

“My friend and I went 2/23/25 for lunch. No spinach dip available. Salmon on house greens salad was excellent. Friend had steak, Mashed potatoes and broccoli. She was very satisfied. Menus were dirty, floors were unclean, table had all sorts of fingerprints.“

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

“good food at a great price“

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

“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.“

“so sad. continued to interrupt me when I triied to order. would never let me finish. so I offered to go elsewhere, and was told to "get lost"“

“food was fresh and delicious minus missing hash browns“

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

“The wait staff and cooks are great but the manager or hoestes whatever she is sat down at a table and talked to the people and did nothing to help her staff.“

“Whenever we go back to the basics at 40 Steak & Seafood we are never disappointed. The filet with the Oscar topping and the Chicken Oscar are two of our favorites and we were not disappointed. The sauces were drizzled perfectly with just the right amount and the Decoy merlot was a great choice.“

“Christopher was our server on 11/16/24 he was excellent, he knew the menu and knew what page and where everything was. My wife and I highly recommend Christopher as a server next time we're asking for Christopher to be our server.“

“I keep getting told to try out this place and finally come in to have a sandwich. I can definitely tell it's better quality then subway. Gotta get the wife here to to try it out.
For those of u who need that sandwich fix.stop here u won't be disappointed.“

“definitely will be coming back. end of a busy day so they were out of the more popular things but i ended up getting a cajun chicken and it was amazing. great service too“

“We were just at Perkins(North) and had one of the BEST experiences with a server we have EVER had! Victoriy was absolutely FANTASTIC! She was on top of her game, attentive and so funny! We had numerous “laugh out loud” moments and our whole group had nothing but great things to say! The food was great and SHE made our dining experience one for the record books! Thank you for the wonderful meal and atmosphere, Victoriy and staff. You were amazing 🤩“
