Restaurants in Grand Forks

“Phenomenal. Phenomenal service. Phenomenal food. Phenomenal drinks. Phenomenal atmosphere. Overall experience was, you guessed it, phenomenal. I’d go there every night if I could!”

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

“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.”

“Love this place. I know most people go for the crepes, rolled ice cream, and boba, but they also have some yummy hot food items as well. I always get the hulk rolled iced cream with strawberries, bananas, and condensed milk, so good! The crepes are great too! Just too big for me to finish and then I feel wasteful so I don’t get them anymore. I wish they had a smaller size option for the crepes.”

“Superior brews, super personable service, kid-friendly, and the atmosphere is laid back. It was a great place to relax after a long day of robotics competition at UND. Thank you Half Brothers for being the only brewery in Grand Forks and doing it exceptionally well.”

“Just excellent food and we've never had a bad meal there. Very creative and blending of flavors is outstanding. Enjoyable eating that is a culinary delight. BTW fantastic salads!”

Side of Cheese Toast

I am so happy that the staff is quick to get the orders out the door, and the delivery drivers are johnny on the spot with a smile and quick conversation.

“It doesn't look like much but it tastes like great memories. I refuse to pass up a chance for pepper when in the state.

The red sauce will make you spend time on the bathroom so just a heads up. Also, it's totally worth the time spent!”

“Great people working at Scooters.”

“Our chicken shrimp carbonara and fettuccine Alfredo with steak were top notch. The salad was crispy and fresh and the neat thing was, our sweet waitress brought ranch and Italian dressings, both on the side so we could add the amount we wanted to
Our salads. We have never been offered that at an Olive Garden before.

Kid-friendliness: 👍🏾

“This is most definitely the best place to get a fast food burger in Grand forks!!! The food is absolutely amazing! Been going here for years and never a disappointment!

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

“Without a doubt the very best salad I have ever eaten. Highly recommend.”

“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.”

“I never had the Blueberry Cream Cheese Croissant before, and it’s fantastic! Very pleased to find fresh baked goods!

Dietary restrictions: I’m lactose-intolerant, so I always love my iced matcha vanilla tea latte with almond milk! Obviously the blueberry cream cheese croissant has cream cheese and butter, but it was delicious nonetheless, and I was able to handle the small amount of dairy.”

“Fun atmosphere and relaxing”

“Haven’t had a bad tasting meal from this place. Not super budget friendly but also not overly expensive. Their meal combinations are interesting, healthy, and delicious. They do a really good job with portion sizes, which might be the most important thing if you are trying to eat healthy. Also nice that you can freeze the meals (or buy them frozen at a discount) and they heat up just about as well as the refrigerated ones.”

“service is A one and food is outstanding! Always very satisfied and servings are generous and fresh!”

“I received an email stating that I had a free treat from Caribou for my birthday and what a GREAT treat and idea for my 70th! All the workers greeted me with a Happy Birthday wish! So thoughtful of them. And, like always, my coffee was absolutely delicious!! Thank you again!”

“I have been getting pizza here for years, quality pizza, one of the best in town, and at a good price ! Very tasty ingredients , highly recommended! Got a pepperoni thin crust tonight and it was the best I’ve had there, spectacular!”

“Patrick is great!! Stopped in here after the gym one day curious if they sell sliced lunch meat by the pound (they don’t) but Patrick was quick to explain things to me; very friendly; we chatted about the area for a few minutes because I’m new to the area. His kind demeanor left an impression that brought me back a couple days later to try some food - it was good, again Patrick was there and very nice. I hope he gets the recognition he deserves because he knows how to make a connection with customers and make people feel welcomed in the restaurant. I will definitely be back to try some more food.”

“So GOOD!!! Hands down the best. I walked in and instantly thought I was in a restaurant in the Valley (Palmview, Tx) but no I'm still in ND ?. The Quessobiria is loaded and the best tasting ones I've had so far! The menudo almost tastes like my grandmas! The caldo de pollo is so delicious. AND they have my favorite jarritos flavor, guava? best Mexican restaurant in ND.”

“Hadn't been for a long time and was so pleased with the freshness and variety of food items. The senior discount was a pleasant surprise. Will be back soon.”

The buffet is AMAZING, and the people that work there are angels. I used to always come to this restaurant after church on Sundays, and it was always such a good time. After I moved it was always a treat to come here with family and friends. DONT LISTEN TO THE 1 STAR REVIEWS!! 5 stars all the way.”

“Thank you so much for going above and beyond in making this cake even though they weren’t open Monday and Tuesday to put in this order she got my message on a post I posted on a page. What amazing people there.”

“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!!”

“Ok here's what I've found at the bar. I'm a talker and I love yakking with the worker's here. They don't push me away and they don't make me feel that I'm not wanted. So whenever I get to forks I'll always stop by and have a few drinks and talk with customers about have a good time.”

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

“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.”

It's has been so convenient with ordering your order before hand & picking up or getting a delivery to your door with a friendly smile! Hands down recommend Shrink Tank with yummy drinks!”

“The fresh made pasta was ever best we have ever had. Nona's sauce was the perfect pairing for the cheese and raisin ravioli which even my husband LOVED despite being very doubtful lol. The fettuccine was light and delicious. We also sliced the pizza loaf and poured some of Nona's sauce and sprinkled some cheese on them and toasted in the air fryer for a delicious snack. Can't rave enough!”

“Delicious as always! The ribs, burgers and steaks are paw licking good and the service is always PAWmazing! 🐺❤️🥩🍖 Shout out to Kelsey for the taking care of us on the scorching patio! 🌞 ..just sitting here drooling over furpappa's melt in your mouth Speedway 805 rib bones! 🐾🤤🐾”

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.”

“Only $5 for a 32oz draft not bad. People are nice and seems legit.”

“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.”

“I'm asian, so asian food in the US is always pricey to me due to the fact that I can get it cheaper back at home. King pho is a lil pricey for me too, however, their portion is at least well worth the money. A big bowl filled to the brim of pho. Me and my boyfriend visit here often, they used to accept ONLY cash but they have improved and now they accept credit cards too. Staffs are friendly and attentive, definitely recommended for those who wanna try it out. ;)”

“My family and I came in about 20 minutes before closing and everything was still on point! Food was great, service was great, we didn't feel rushed at all. Great place!!! ??? The vegetarian options were kind of limited but they still had a vegetarian sandwich that my son did not complain about.”

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

“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!”

“Clean. Employees friendly.
Food was good. Although, becoming skimpy...onions sliced so thin you can see through....the Dave's single is good. We come once a week and order this sandwich...we notice the difference. Frys are good. It's winter...it cold...it is too cold inside. Uncomfortable to eat in the evening...but always clean. You must have good management...tables cleaned, employees not fooling around ....with so many young people working together its not easy to keep young people focused”

“Great customer service. I've never had an order incorrect. The drive thru can be long and dangerous at busy times, with cars sitting out in the road and blocking traffic, but that's not really the restaurant's fault.”

“Well I'll tell ya like it is. I don't know what store's I would go to if I didn't have Walmart to go to. So thank you Walmart for being available to me.”

“I saw this place while waiting for a stop sign. Today I tried it out oh my word not sure what I wanted. They asked me what were my favorite fruits. I said, pomegranate cranberries so they paired me with a pomegranate plunge and to shave the edge on the calories, you can use Splenda. You still have a nice tart taste of the cranberries and pomegranates just pop out and there were some some other fruits in there. These are the ones that I remember. But don’t take my word for it. Go try it yourself. When you arrive, you find this building resembling a beachfront juice it’s not very big will totally draw you in. You open the door when you feel like you have found the vacation in the middle of the city. The chairs are metal but painted beachside blue and the coral that just pops your imagination. I have beachside music that you may have heard flowing down the way these bright colors aremelting your stress away there’s tiling along the side. You truly have found an oasis to call your own but wait is that not beach sidewalk maybe a boardwalk perhaps again don’t take my word for go experience it yourself. Enjoy. I know I did.”

“food was amazing and hot staff was friendly and helpfull”

“During my visit to Grand Forks, I received a warm recommendation to try the delectable Tostadas and grinders at a local eatery. Not only were these menu items incredibly flavorful, but they also provided a distinctive and delightful dining experience.”
