Restaurants in Grand Forks

“Best Mexican food I've ever had! Great atmosphere and stellar service! I'd give 10 stars if I could!”

“Had been a while since our last visit. Margaret and I walked in, checked in with the maitradee for our reservation. We saw Kelly, the GM, as soon as we walked in, making his rounds, always attentive and with great peripheral vision. Kelly, as many know, has been a long time familiar face in the restaurant industry in GF. He's built for it. It's him, and he it. He recognized us right away and went out of his way to come say hi, shake hands and like always, cordially welcome us with... "It's been a while! How've you guys been!? It's great to see you again"! Harry's, I'm sure you know, you're fortunate to have Kelly. Not just Kelly, but the rest of the staff as well. We had a new waitress in training, her name is Chelsea, her trainer & main servor- Michelle. Chelsea was awesome and Michelle did great in letting Chelsea run on her own, attentive to help only if needed. The food was nothing less than supurb! My wife and I had the Escargo Apetizer up front with an Old Fashion for me & a Secret Garden Mocktail for my wife... Deliscious. Our entries were 2 Fillet Mignon, prepared to perfection, not a bad spec on either cut - (seasoned to perfection), sides were Brussel Sprouts with Feta Cheese, bits of bacon ++ in a Balsamic Glaze, Diced-Smashed Red Potatoes with Parmeseam Cheese, Garlic ++ We hadn't had the opportunity to go out for a nice meal for some time as life has been busy. Well, Harry's made it exceptional. When you get close to the end of the meal and become sad because it's almost all gone, you know it's good. Not just good, but great. Not just great but exceptional. Thank you Harry's. It was a Lovely evening! Thoroughly enjoyed everyone and everything! Great attention to detail all around! Gary & Margaret Ramberg...”

“Friendly staff. Only complaint is says no more 12 cookie carriers but this is only crumbl that doesn't have them. Besides that just like all crumbl delicious”

“I love the sushi from here!!! The only down side is that they are closed sometimes when it says they are open. I have tried to go there the last 2 times I was in Grand forks and they have been closed when they say they are open online. It may have something to do with staff but I hope this improves so we don't keep experiencing this issue.”

“An adult playground. Lots of fun activities for adult groups to do for people 21 to 121. Friendly staff as well.”

“I came to Grand Forks on the train and needed a spot to do work before a meeting. I am delighted that I chose this Caribou.

“burrito de carnitas 🌯 al 💯.. y los tacos de birria 🤤”

“They no longer had the stuffed mushrooms I used to love, but the shrimp with spicy ranch was just as good. I'd go back for the ranch alone. The staff was polite and gave us great suggestions (I wish I rememberes her name) and the atmosphere was your typical Olive Garden- comfy and warm and full of breadsticks! 😄”

“hands down best customer service”

“Papa Murphy's is the perfect pizza place for vegans. The pizza is great and has so many veggie options and even veggie cheese! Plus, we can cook it when we're ready, so it's always hot and perfect.”

“Fun atmosphere and relaxing”

“Lovely lobby, always clean and well kept. Friendly baristas in a quiet location. Easy to get in and out of with parking and drinks are delicious. 😊 10/10 times I prefer caribou over Starbucks, the quality is much better and for a chain it’s nice to have something that started closer to home locally. Also the app is really convenient for pickups and nutrition facts! Thank you!”

“First time in as it was recommended by my Dietian. The service was wonderful, the young lady helped with my meals and answered all my questions. The menu changes weekly, so I'm looking forward to the rotation. The first meal I tried was the brisket mac & cheese, I'm impressed. Lots of flavor and satisfying. If you want a healthier meal choice, this is the place. Put down the fast food and eat a well prepared meal that only takes minutes in the microwave. I'll be back to try more goodies.”

“I have never had a bad drink from the board room! My go to stop for coffee when I am in town. The drive thru is a bit on the slower side compared to other coffee spots but worth it for the quality of drinks in my opinion!”

“First-time customer today. Ordered a lamb gyro with a Mango Lassi (a mango and milk drink). Picked up order at around 3 pm. Came home, plans were to have this for my evening meal but one taste of the melt-in-your-mouth lamb slices, tasty pita and rice and oops just finished the whole thing. Absolutely delicious, very generous portions, friendly folks who took my order and at the pick-up window. The Mango Lassi is really yummy!!”

“Food & service are the main reasons we come here. It's the only place in town that serves a Monty Cristo & it's so good. Their fried pickles are a top contender in the area for sure.

Service is great, you have bartenders checking in often enough where you don't feel overwhelmed by them, or flagging one down is easy if you need them.

Atmosphere is fitting for a local dive bar. It's simple but still cozy. Plenty of seating indoors & a patio space out back.”

“I have only ordered from this restaurant once so far but the quality of the food is outstanding. The green thumb wrap was fresh and tasty. The tomato soup was warm and soothing. I am looking forward to ordering from this restaurant again.”

“I love Denny's. They always double up, they recognized me, and they're always down to earth. A must visit on anyone's hole-in-the-wall list. It's not a dive bar it's a working class and retired working class local staple.”

“I enjoy Caribou Coffee. The waitresses and waiters are very pleasant. I wish the price was lower as compared to the size of the coffee cups. its a drive through facility. It's somewhat difficult driving through and leaving the drive through.”

“Some of the bartenders are pretty rude there's one guy in there hes older where's glasses hes kind of a snot kind of snippy when you order beers or make comments or something to him he gets really snippy hes been there for a long time but hes a crab a**”

“awesome friendly staff, tasty food, and just a nice chill place to hangout at.”

“Most already know the North end DQ is the best. Always quick and great service. Love the end of season discounts, just enjoyed cookie dough ice cream cake for my birthday! Obviously highly recommend 😁”

“Deek’s pizza is a Grand Forks classic. Their flavor is spot on, 8.2 from Barstool Sports.

Atmosphere is. 4/5 because it is take out only but their shoppe is clean.”

“My wife and I decided to try a Mom and Pop place and we enjoy Mexican food… we were not disappointed !!! Very tasty, not greasy nor too spicy and priced very reasonably. We will definitely be coming back here on our next trip from “The Great White North”😊”

“Some seriously delicious garbage and friendly service. Check out the omelette section. Personalized to ur junk food delight. I added broccoli cuz that's my jam. Asked abt the walleye for sourcing curiosity and will be back some day to check it out.”

“You have always done in amazing job at this store no matter if I come through the drive Thur or come inside. I have been coming to this location for many years I wrote most of my book back in 2019 right there at your location the peace that I would get whenever I came there and got my hot turtle mocha was amazing and your location got it right everything thanks for being great and helping me to get my Creative juices flowing by providing a peaceful environment and my Grandson use to love to have lunch with me right next door to your location Pa pizza I already gave them a review years ago and forgot to give you all a review thanks for being great and amazing you gave inspiration to start writing about my life story it all started right there and your Starbucks coffee shop. Just wanted you to know that and how grateful I am for all the pleasant people that work there. Bye for now.

Vegetarian options: The Lemon cake with that all white icing is my favorite especially if I can get it fresh with a total mocha. It’s like having all earth. Thank you again for all you do bye for now.”

“Just order a pretzel and it's legit cooked. order from this place, worth your money. Even I can’t cook a better pretzel than them. I spent 5 dollars on a cooked pretzel. Place should be called cooked pretzel maker. I wish I could give them a six star but that's not an option.”

“I really like this place, strange thing is, not because of the drinks (rumored to be coming) or food. It has the e-tab machines of course, I'm no stranger to those. I like this place because of the people. They are real. The crowd that frequents this place is usually local. I feel comfortable here and that is what elevates this establishment.”

“Service was beyond great. Server was extremely friendly, very polite, very accommodating. Food was great. Pretzel was perfect. I'll be back with more friends.”

“We ordered online from the emergency room and we ended up being there longer than expected. I called to see how long they’d hold our order for and the sweet girl that answered the phone offered to remake our order if it was more than an hour before we picked it up. Great food with even better customer service!”

“They just catered our wedding this past weekend and were super friendly, professional, and everything tasted great!”

“I love this place ! Great food, reasonable prices, fast and friendly service. Their Salsa is the best, I believe they put a touch of brown sugar in it, it's just fabulous. My Go To Mexican restaurant in Grand Forks!”

“I literally went to the wrong starbucks which was this one for my online pickup and she literally came me a FREE VENTI drink. 10/10 nicest people ever I go there every time now.”

“Huge thanks to Jeff and staff at Eagles Crest! We had my sons graduation party here and it was perfect! Food was great, facilities were great and the staff was amazing!”

“Love the atmosphere at Panara.”

“Music is kind of loud, but that will never stop me from hanging out while I scarf three hardshell tacos, my go-to. They make them fast, they make them fat, and they make them spicy! Best Red Pepper of all!”

“food was really good, good prices & staff was super nice! definitely recommend & will be back🫶 Also have great daily deals!”

“very good customer service and the lattes are the best. i go at least twice when im in grand forks! 😊”

“The food is great and a lot of it. They were short-handed one cook and server each. They told us upfront that they're running behind. We stayed and had a supper to die for. It got busy, and the service slowed down. We understood and because of the food and service. I would go back and do recommend it.”

“The Subway on Columbia has the most genuine, friendly, and kind workers. Even though this subway isn't the closest one to me it is always worth the extra drive when I get to experience amazing service. I never walk out of that store without a smile on my face. These workers are really something special and genuinely care about the service they provide.”

“Food was off the 🔥 and we will be back again”

“Food is okay. I get the same thing every time. I eat there or order out about once a week simply so i can see the beautiful woman working the bar area during the day.”

“Solid flavors in the appetizers, but the main courses were just average. The chicken was slightly dry, though the sides were tasty. Service was attentive at first but disappeared when we needed the check. A few tweaks could make this place great!”
