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.”

“Mandy at T and Crepe was so helpful to us. She gave us several dining options as we are from out of town. But we decided to stay and she was very helpful to us. Crepes are amazing, and so is the rest of the food.”

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

“This is the best pizza in Grand Forks!”

“We ordered food online today for the first time. when I arrived to pick it up, I realized they were very short staffed and behind on orders. We waited a long time for our food BUT I don’t think I’ve ever witnessed someone more kind working in customer service. You could tell they were flustered, but they kept cool, greeted everyone, offered free drinks and cookies for the wait, and even took extra time to help a woman walk her order to her vehicle (because she had 2 bags and it was very snowy outside). Plus our food was delicious! Very awesome experience despite the long wait, highly impressed with the staff. Will be back.”

“Ate here for the first time last night. We didn't have a reservation but got seated within minutes. The food and service was excellent. Will definitely come back!”

Dietary restrictions: I ordered Gluten free crust

Kid-friendliness: Staff was friendly

“The restaurant was packed but even still the food was quick and delicious. The soda tasted perfectly calibrated, not syrupy or watered down. Workers were super pleasant and engaging. Will definitely eat here again.”

“hands down best customer service”

“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! 😄”

“Short staffed & service with a smile!! Much appreciated 😊!! And my pizza and wings were delicious 😋!”

“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.”

“If you’re going there for authentic Mexican food, you’re going to be upset. That’s not what this place is. It’s fast, it’s good, it’s cheap, and it’s a local staple.”

“Fun atmosphere and relaxing”

“Everything about this place is wonderful. The atmosphere is great. The coffee is amazing. Highly recommend.”

“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!”

“Had a fun sunday night. Blackjack, tabs, drinks. The server was great and made us feel very welcome. Couldn't win anything gambling :( but watched others have a good night. Recommend it as a great stop for a few drinks.”

“Best coffee around! Truly!”

“Great service, always friendly always smiling”

“I love Happy Joe’s Pizza. It is always amazing Pizza. They really know how to treat their regulars very special.”

“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.”

“It was the 1st time I had ever been there. Food was good and service was great. However, it’s not handicap accessible.”

“Always have a great time, bar maids n bartenders are awesome”

“We tried the Schwarma last night at the Fair. It was SO good! My new FAVORITE!! Highly recommend. Oh and the best rice and chicken with Korean BBQ sauce 🤤🤤🤤”

“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**”

“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 😁”

“Food is really good and staff is very nice and accommodating.”

“It's awesome place staff was friendly loved it I hope I can come back some day thank you guys and the owner was was working his butt off. Tonight he deserves every penny he earns don't know how else to say and the pizza omg freaking ”

“Had a great time in the book binding class and of course the art is always fantastic.”

“Great service and conversation. Didnt watch the tvs at all.”

“Thank you so much for the bday surprise. Dinner tonight was the only meal I got to eat today. I've been sleeping in my car, my phone plan ended last night, and it's so cold and it's so depressing, especially being the holidays and my bday. Your generosity helped rekindle hope that things will get better. That pizza was needed in so many ways and appreciated more than I could possibly explain. Thank you. So much.”

“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.”

“Dairy Queen is always a classic for an ice cream treat! They have many different flavors along with food options. They usually have different "happy hour" specials throughout the year. This one includes Orange Julius!”

“Just one………………………………………..”

“Always have a great time, bar maids n bartenders are awesome”

“Juba catered an event for us, and everyone loved it! We got to try a wide variety of their options, and each one was as delicious as the last. Would absolutely order again.”

“One of the best places to eat in Grand Forks. Cozy, warm, welcoming, great service.”

“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.”

“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!”

“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.”

“I was on campus and craving Chick-fil-A, and knowing that there is a Chick-fil-A in the UND Memorial Union, it was a very easy decision to head that direction. I made my own order on a small “Grubhub” flatscreen. It was easy to use, and it was my first time ordering this way. When I was done making my order, I used my credit card to solidify the transaction. I only waited 2-3 minutes for my order. I expected it would take longer, so I was surprised when they called my name. My meal came up fast and hot. Perfect! Sooooooo glad there is a Chick-fil-A on the UND campus!”

“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”😊”

“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!”

“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.”

“Love the atmosphere at Panara.”

“Absolutely incredible job to Colton. I asked him to go make me whatever he thought I should have. He more than delivered with what I think was an everything grinder. Super reasonable prices.”

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

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

“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.”

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

“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!”
