I toggle between 3 & 4 stars more times than I care to admit. In the end, I decided that, had it…read morenot been for quite a few out of season items being +half off, I would have went straight to 3 stars. Staff were great when we went in, celebrating even our steal of a deal finds with us. The theme, while adorable, didn't make up for the shortage of unique inventory. Aside from the close-out items, we weren't able to locate any selections that were not readily available everywhere else. As such, it falls in the average range. It looks like we'll need to cross the state line to get something new to try. Game on!

One of the downsides to an extended stay in Minnesota is the need to plan liquor store visits: you…read morecan't buy beer or wine elsewhere, and you can't buy it on Sundays. An even bigger downside is when the liquor store's best beer on offer is New Belgium Ranger IPA. Not that there's anything wrong with the Ranger. But that doesn't leave much thrill for the hunt.... So while we survived a steady diet of the Ranger and various low-end, mass-produced California wines (I mean, you can drink almost anything if you're lounging in the sun and have a lake to jump into, right?!), my man and I still needed nightly fortification for our drive back and our nights in hotels. Pulling into Bismarck after two weeks of scarcity, I was thrilled to find Captain Jack's and their relative plethora of selection. Many of my favorite familiar microbreweries (along with lesser-known, more local Midwestern ones) were represented, from six-packs to cases to liters to a wall-full of single bottles. My four-pack of Flying Dog Double Dog Imperial IPA was an excellent choice, and although being without a wine key limited me to screwcaps, nevertheless snagged that old standby, Big House Red. If I ever make the drive again, I'm remembering that Captain Jack's is the place to stop, and stock up!

I shop in the one on 11th street. Very clean and the employees are always super stars. When I can't…read morereach some item that is out of my reach, they are more than willing to help me. I do not remember names; but I do have her cashier number: 277048. She is the morning cashier, and she is extremely personable and helpful to me. The only name I do remember is Nicole, she works at the service desk in the afternoon. She is always smiling and joking with me when I buy my lottery tickets. She simply makes my day. Actually, I have never encountered any employee of yours that wasn't helpful.

I just want to say a family affair supermarket they're a good store but number one guy in that…read morestore is gonna be Florence. I think that's his name it was saturday 14 around this guy went out his way helping this guy get into his car they must of been there for a while cause i went into store 15 minutes later i came back out to see what i could do and i was there for about 20 minutes finally this guy and his wife came in a truck and said hey we got the pump you know that opens the door so I mean he's a hero too. locksmiths charges $200 or something like God bless that guy too, but I'm gonna have to give it to my man Florence. He was in there with a hanger doing everything he could open that door and the thing was the door handle on the outside didn't work so it was pretty tough. I'll give that guy a lot of credit and I hope family fare gives this guy some recognition .

Allocated bourbon alert!…read more If you seek allocated, you just will not find it at this store. They have a bourbon membership program. It seems the allocated gets distributed this way. There was a time when this store was relationship-driven. That no longer is the case. Check out Stage Stop Liquor in south Mandan if you seek allocated. If they have allocated, it is on the shelf.

I'm so glad to see a Natural Grocers in Bismarck. The people were friendly and the food was what I…read moreexpected, all organic produce. Organic meats, grass fed beef. As far as I could tell, it was the only real food supermarket in the city (says the woman who grabbed a candy bar there)! I took off one star because it seemed they weren't as well stocked as other natural grocers I've been to in Fort Collins, Colorado, Cheyenne, WY, and Austin, TX. Nevertheless, pleasant and I was able to find most of what I wanted.

Bismarck so needed this store. The other grocery stores carry minimal organics and natural…read moreproducts. The other stores are so expensive for the same things. The other stores selection of organics and supplements are limited. I have a lot of food sensitivities. This store can cater to my needs. Very high quality food. Simple clean ingredients. Fresh produce. Extremely fair pricing. Always open to ordering new products for customers as long as they can get them. Great sales. Great staff. I love it. Thank you for opening this store in Bismarck.

You have heard of bankers hours? Well this place combines barber days with the stereotypical…read moreGreek/Italian work ethic (and way worse than bankers hours) as they are open from Tuesday - Friday, 11 am to 6 pm and Saturday 10:30 to 5. Unfortunately I am standing here at 1 pm on a Monday and I drove across town specifically to go to this establishment (looking for spices to be precise) and it is closed. It really amazes me that businesses aren't open when people are out shopping. Ok, celebrate the Sabbath, but What about Monday and the hours before 11 or after 6? As I stand here writing this, two other people walked up and then left. Perhaps this is what is the most aggravating part. If you know downtown Bismarck at all, you know parking can really suck, yet the owner posted an 8 1/2 x 11 sign on the door, so one has to walk up to read it, meaning parking someplace like one one of the ramps that cost money. I don't know if they even validate, but I guess I will never know now. And to think I told my daughter just last week that I no longer needed to buy my olive oil in Nashville or order spices online. Just sad.

As you enter, you'll immediately notice how expansive and inviting the space is. The owner was…read morethere the day I visited, and you could tell how excited he and his staff were to welcome each guest. The selection of oils and vinegars was ample, and you'll notice that nothing is there that doesn't have to be. They've already done the work for you by paring their selection down to the highest impact items. As their business expands, it'll be exciting to see. It's definitely a new concept for Bismarck, but something Bismarck needed. I'm excited to see the addition of cheeses, charcuterie, and chocolate. What I love the most about businesses and business owners like this, is that I, as a member of the community, get to share their passion with them as they expand and evolve and put the stamp of their enterprise on the community. Cheers!
