Restaurants in West Fargo

“I drive by all the time on my way home and finally stopped by for lunch! All of the staff was very friendly and willing to take the time to help/chat with us. Everything was absolutely perfect from the bread to the croissant to the salad and the sandwiches. Definitely. recommend this place to all!!”

“My husband and I went here a few weeks ago around lunch time. I can say without a doubt the food here is awesome. There are many options off of the menu that will appease everyone's pallet. The portions alone are well worth the visit. You get so much food and it tastes amazing. The staff was very helpful and attentive. 10/10 will go back.

Update: We just recently got delivery through Doordash and it was still just as good!

Kid-friendliness: Yes

We used to live in Fargo and this place was one of our favorite burger joints while we were there due to their unique burgers, fresh cut potato chips or fries with dipping sauces and selection of tap beers. When we got back to town, we had to stop for dinner.

Along with the pre-requisite cold tap beers, tonight my wife ordered the Wham Bam Bacon Jam burger (see picture) and I opted for the Classic Chicken (see picture). As per what we've become accustomed to expecting at JL Beers, both of them were delicious. Those fresh cut potato chips and delicious dipping sauces just can't be beat.

After eating tonight, our friends shared with us that they had gotten there early, so had their favorite appetizer - a large pretzel with homemade peanut butter. They had a little of the peanut butter left, so we tried it - and were hooked! We asked and found out that all they used for ingredients were honey roasted peanuts - so you know they were on our doorstop in Des Moines shortly after we returned home - and were ground into peanut butter that night! You definitely want to give it a try!

“Came to eat here because it was close to my son's apartment and wanted to try it out. Let me tell you, this is the best place I've had tacos in North Dakota, without a doubt. Authentic, flavorful, and delicious. I highly recommend eating here, you won't be disappointed.”

“The food we ate was catered in and it was delish. This is the place to be for bingo if you are a bingo lover like me. The people that play here are a lot of help and most are friendly.”

“Absolutely amazing place to go for organic health conscious choices. I was so impressed with her blueberry detox, tastes way better than any smoothie I’ve ever made. The owner Renae takes so much care when picking her produce, it’s so wonderful to have her beautiful location here in Fargo. 100/10 recommend! 💚🌱”

“So good! The staff is friendly. They work quickly when they are busy!”

“Great place to stop and have a drink. Addie the bartender was fantastic. Great service.”

“Thunder coffee is a fun small coffee shop to be at. I do recommend them to sit down and enjoy coffee or meet up with someone for a meeting. They do have unique specialty latte flavors if you wanted to try something new. So for everything I ordered is very delicious. One thing I do wish is that you guys are a little bit more Photography friendly . Most of my Photography clients are bare minimal when it comes to budget. So when it comes to photos with coffee and relaxing in your beautiful place. We would love to do stuff but we don’t have the extra budget you guys were asking for. I do hope one day you guys will be more open to extending your policy for some trades or so. Other than that, I still love you guys.”

“Katie made cookies for my son’s birthday and they were PHENOMENAL! So many compliments on how great they turned out and how yummy they tasted. Thank you so much for helping with my guys special day! ❤️”

“Loveeeee me some ladybug. They’re literally the best coffee shop you can go to in Fargo. They have such quality espresso and so much more to offer. They also have the best chai. Best everything they’re perfect!!!”

“Her stuffed cookies are top tier! So delicious! And her storefront and customer service is delightful! Can't wait for an excuse to return!”

“One of the things my mother in law was known for was her lefse. We wanted to memorialize that at her service this past weekend. Freddy's was wonderful to work with and helped to make that happen. The lefse was a hit and one of the many ways to honor her memory. Thank you Freddy's”

“the cookies are good every time, the workers are always nice and efficient. the lobby is a bit small and can be crowded

Parking: plenty of parking”

“White chocolate raspberry was amazing! Cake was perfect texture & frosting was really good. Adorable shop too. We will be back soon.”

“Convenient on the go Healthy meal choices that taste GREAT !”

“Amazing food and great staff!”

“First time coming here today and it was absolutely flawless! Food was amazing and service was even better! The atmosphere is fantastic also!”

“great place to eat! love the atmosphere”

“BEST WINGS I’ve had in fargo and would beat out most other places I’ve tried too.

Smoked wings bring the hot wing experience to another level.
Only 3 flavors, traditional, bbq and parmesan garlic.
I tried traditional and that smoky flavor with tangy buffalo flavor and that little hint of buttery flavor mixed in with the buffalo sauce.
*chefs kiss*”

“Great Bartenders & drinks!”

“Played in pool league tonight. They had 2 tables, and 3 dart boards. A good place for gaming. They had a good group of people enjoying the atmosphere. They looked to be having a good time. If you like gambling, they have it all. Pull tabs, slot machines and a black jack table. They also had a paddle wheel for weekend nights. Not a bad place.”

“Good coffee good place to sit and read.”

“I actually have never gotten coffee at this location before. I was pleasantly surprised by how nice the barista was. I haven't had much luck with customer service at the other locations, but I am very happy with the service here.”

“First time eating there and it was amazing”

“Omg I totally the atmosphere it's really a light happy place and I love the teas and now I'll try something else”

“The Local 701 Bar did an awesome job for my husbands 50th Birthday party. The staff was amazing and so great to work with prior and the night of the party. The bartenders made sure the pizza bar was full all night. The food was wonderful and the service was great. The side room has a great set up with your own bartenders. We can't thank you enough for the awesome experience. Huge thank you to Jamie and Grayson for everything!!! ~Toni McQuillan”

“Great option for youth baseball teams. They treated our team great last night!”

“Ordered 2 calzones and wings from Marco's for pick up in the evening. The food was ready to go. The calzones tested great, best I've had since leaving New York. I like the fact that the wings were big and not dried out or oily. The service was exceptional and friendly as well. Thank you.”

“My fave Caribou! I do wish that the guy that works there would learn how to make a coffee but Ava and Grace rule and don't get enuff cred!! Thank you girls for makn my day! ?”

“my boyfriend and I had their Taco Pizza 🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕 Friday night and it was awesome 😎😎😎😎😎😎 and we also had their Mozzarella Sticks and they were also awesome 😎😎😎”

“Best bartenders in town, great food”

“Nova sandwich the best & Latte Coffe hot.”

“Good food and good service!!”

“I used to frequently visit this location before COVID. Yesterday I was in the area and decided to stop by. This place was SO busy but they were so efficient and nice. I continue to be impressed each time I order. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

“Currently addicted to the pizza of the month, The Spicy Italian. Please keep it on the menu forever 💕”

“Food was great. It is hard to find places that have peanut butter chicken this location had it and was very good. Buffet was well stocked and fresh. Tried other dishes I never heard of and were also good. Staff was always cleaning as people left. Building was a warm, but A/C could have been down with heat wave.”

“Staffs are very pleasant and friendly. Deek's is the best pizza for me by far. Pepperroni my favorite simple will also be a nice addition to your menu. I prefer not to have too much toppings.

Dietary restrictions: Less cholesterol maybe if possible.”

“I’ve been to this location a couple of times. The only real complaints come from the visit today when there was a black hair in my blizzard as well as I never received the additional ranch I paid for. Other than the poor visit on today’s visit, the location is usually on point. They’re relatively quick and usually are on top the game when giving what you ask for. I really dislike paying for extra sauces anywhere to begin with however, and it’s even worse when you pay for them and don’t get them. I will never understand why additional sauces are more at certain places. $0.51 for a tiny ranch is crazy. Get with the times. Chick Fil A is free for sauces and their prices are comparable if not cheaper.”

“We ordered lunch for a work event. I emailed the manager asking for gluten-free options and they were so awesome and accommodating. She told me the options they had and I stated we were worried about cross-contamination and when it was delivered, they went above and beyond and kept everything separate. I highly recommend this restaurant. The food was amazing.”

“There is no reason the food needs to be this good??????”

“Even though it’s considered fast food it is very good”

“Lobby was closed but that was alright. The 2 dudes that made my order did a superb job and got my special order correct. Delicious and fast.

Vegetarian options: fresh veggies

Kid-friendliness: neat seating options and baby chairs available.”

“Both Moorhead and West Fargo are great places”

“I went to the Barcode for a date night with my wife because they have free bingo. I was not expecting the food to be this amazing. Now my wife and I go to the Barcode once a week. The food is absolutely delicious. One of my favorites is the BBQ pulled pork Nachos. The sandwiches and burgers are amazing as well. They have excellent pizza too. The staff members are rock stars. Professional, polite and on top of things. I highly recommend the Barcode as it is now one of my favorite places to eat. They also allow dogs on the patio with water available for the K9 friends.”

“Great food and super friendly staff. Will definitely be back. New favorite place!”
