    Chicken dumping soup, potato soup & salad, delicious homemade bread & rhubarb dessert
    Cara G.

    Delicious homemade food! I spent a lot of time in Fargo while my grandpa was in a stroke rehab and boy was I thankful to have found cracked pepper! Eating out every meal can be can be rough (both on your health and your pocket book) so finding good food at reasonable prices was a blessing! I picked up lunch there almost every day and love stopping there whenever i am back in Fargo.

    Absolutely love this little lunch spot! It's tucked away in a strip mall, very small but super cute, and the staff is as fantastic as the food is! This isn't your fancy-schmancy elitist fine dining establishment: this is good quality, homemade (seriously, just like Grandma made!), fresh, delicious and reasonably-priced comfort food enjoyed in a comfortable, homey atmosphere. Cracked Pepper's menu selections change daily but they always have some type of sandwich/soup combo, salad, and hot item of some sort. Their very "North Dakotan" menu features classic MidWestern items such as the ever-popular Tater Tot Hotdish, Knephla soup, meatloaf, as well as some excellent paninis, wraps, salads and soups. And their desserts make me want to lick the plate, every. single. time. I've never been there on a Saturday morning, but they do have "brunchy" dishes served those days in addition to regular lunch items. Another plus is that they post their menu daily on their blog, http://crackedpepperdaily.com/. It may sound corny, but I truly feel like every dish is made with love! Cracked Pepper is definitely a hidden gem in the F-M area! TRY IT!!

    Bacon cheddar broccoli egg bake which came with fruits and really yummy apple fritter bread.

    Cracked Pepper is such a random spot, but it's pretty good! It has such a pleasant, homey, feel. It looked like there were family members hanging out and just walking in and out of the kitchen. It added to the character of the place. This is one of those places where you order at the counter and they bring the food out to you. I ordered a broccoli bacon cheddar egg bake. It was good and filling. I just wish it had a little more cheese and bacon flavor. It wasn't quite as good as I was expecting, but not bad at all. I LOVED the apple fritter bread that came with it. It was so delish. The dish also came with fresh fruits. The meal as a whole was great- a good combination. Even though the egg bake didn't meet my expectations, I still give 4 stars partly because of the apple fritter bread and partly because of the laidback, relaxing environment. I just felt so satisfied and nourished after my experience there. It's a feel-good place.

    Great French onion dip and chips. Everything is homemade and the service is great. Quirky ambiance as well.

    Scoop N Dough is such a fun addition to downtown Fargo! Cookie dough and ice cream, you just can't…read morego wrong with that pairing! This is somewhere I love to take people who haven't been to Fargo much. It's something that most all people can enjoy, plus the shop is super cute. It's in a newly modernized alley of downtown called Robert's Alley, which can be confusing to find until you are a little more familiar with the area. I think there is maybe a parking garage nearby but your best option is to just park along the street or somewhere downtown and walk. You can only get to Scoop N Dough by walking, biking, or other non-motorized vehicular routes. Though the experience of cookie dough & ice cream is great, I do think it's pretty extravagant. The cookie dough is incredibly sweet and rich, and I can never finish my cup because it almost makes my stomach hurt, it's just too much for me. So that's just a warning- it still tastes fantastic and is fun to try at least once. And I did see they are getting another location along 32nd Ave, almost in West Fargo, which is cool!

    Great selection of both the cookie doughs and the hard serve ice cream. You will have a difficult…read moretime choosing, but this makes it enticing to make several visits in the near future. The flavored popcorn is a nice addition as well. If you are not familiar with the area, the entrance is located in the alley, not far off of 2nd Ave N. This is an excellent addition to downtown Fargo. For these warmer months, their outside "wall" is an overhead door that opens up into the alley, with some additional seating.
