The kuchen was delicious but because we got there at 11 they were already out of caramel rolls...couldn't give them 5 stars just because of this.

I was just there a few weeks ago, if it's truly closed permanently that is really sad. There aren't enough of these places left and we need to keep them going!

Besides the friendly atmosphere, you can also browse their quirky gift/pawn shop.

Super quaint, a staple if you are visiting. All of the food was good and I'm convinced everything on the menu is probably just as good. Being from the south, I doubted finding any proper country diners, but boy was I mistaken. Everything was warm and so comforting in the dishes we ordered. They have German food option and American food (and LOTS of good looking breakfast food). Would highly recommend.

Im from Kansas and live in Chicago, this place is WORTH it. Top 10 meal experience I have had in…read morethe past decade and I have eaten at 3-Star Michelin rated establishments. I rarely ever write a review but this place is deserving. The quintessential diner experience: waitress bantering with the regulars, home made pie (that you always seem to get the last slice of), perfectly brewed coffee, friendly service, and absolutely delicious food. I would eat here everyday if I could. The entire diner has an overarching feel of nostalgia wrapped in a hug in front of a fireplace? If that makes sense? The Chocolate Creme pie might have been the best piece of pie I have ever had. The soup of the day was incredible, and if you are lucky enough to get a caramel roll, I highly recommend it. The single worst part of this experience was realizing I would not be able to have it again soon as I was traveling through. But you can bet your rear end the next time I am in Bismarck, I am making a drive over to Ohm's Cafe. Arguably might the best diner in America. Food was delicious, not too greasy, homemade, full of flavor, affordable, and just exquisite. However you define this restaurant, I do not care, all I care about is making sure whatever it is, there is more of it.

The knoephla soup had a ton of knoephla swimming in sweet cream, but no potato or any other flavor. The only redeeming dish we had was the sour cream apple pie. It's not that any of it was bad... it just wasn't all that great. Although I know people who sear by it, so take my opinion with a pinch of pfeffer. Service was quick, and the server was helpful. The ambiance is VERY small town cafe.

We were quickly seated in a comfortable booth and promptly served. We asked for recommendations from our waiter and our food came out quickly.

Yes that's what the lady that took my order told me.... What The Fuck?? At the end after I paid and even after everything was not satisfactory I still gave a 4 dollar tip and she comes back and said, she couldn't believe that was all the tip she got. And even to make things worse there was a bunch of other workers right there, no one said anything. She even told us to get out and OMG ON TOP OF EVERYTHING SHE MADE US LEAVE OUT THE BACK DOWN THOSE CRAZY STEPS.
