In town and staying at a nearby hotel we needed dinner on a Sunday night of the holiday weekend. We…read moregot an online reservation but it was unnecessary since it was pretty quiet. We got a booth in the bar. The interior is very nice. Our server was friendly and did a decent job. The menu is a bit more upscale and thus pricier than most of the burger joints that appear to be the standard around here. I got the pastrami sandwich which was a different prep with a spicy cheese and horseradish sauce. I opted to have the pepper confit on the side which was a good choice for me. It was an excellent sandwich. My wife liked her Mediterranean bowl though she commented that she didn't know what made it Mediterranean. The salmon addition was good with a crispy crust. We had a nice meal.

I'm eating my way through Fargo and it's great. I've decided that I'm going to add a PR factor…read morerating, it's important. So PR factor, for the young lady who took our name and amount of our party is a 1. Learn to be friendly, period. Thanks goodness an older person stepped in to take over. The first time that we tried to eat here, it was a no go. The same young lady, using the same monotone, unfriendly tone, said "yeah you're looking at 35 or more minute wait", then turned away from us. Ok thanks. The inside is wood tones. In the lobby are items that show a championship for their bbq sauce. To me it has a cowboy/western kind of thing and it works. In the dining room are many tables and booths and it's comfy. There is also a bar in place, if you prefer going there. Fast forward to last evening. We were in at about 5:15. We had about a 15 minute wait. The amount of people entering and leaving is huge. I saw couples and a lot of big tables in place. I saw servers hoofing it all over the place, talk about busy. No one sits idle here. Ah the food...I'm telling you someone is seriously doing something right here. Our server showed up promptly and was great. Kudos to Grace, you're doing a good job! I ordered the bbq brisket wrap with fries, my husband ordered the sirloin with a side of beans and a side salad. I had tea and a Guinness for him. The drinks came out quickly, along with my husband's side salad. I almost ordered the side salad as one of my sides but I'm glad I didn't because it was really a big size for being a side. My husband said it was fresh and tasted great. Out came our meals. The wrap actually kind of reminded me of a chimichanga, it was grilled on the outside and it was so good, I'm used to wraps not being grilled, but I really liked this. The brisket was melt in your mouth good and had just the right amount of bbq sauce, along with grilled onions that were sweet and delicious. The fries were good, nothing special, but just good. My husband was definitely pleased with his steak, juicy and grilled to perfection. He said the beans were great. Our server checked on us multiple times, along with handling other tables, her service was appreciated. For the two of us it was about 66.00 dollars without tip. Just an fyi, if you use a credit card, you will be charged a 3% surcharge to offset processing costs. This place is hugely popular and I can see why. It's got it going on with good food, great service and a nice ambiance going on. So would I come back here? Of course, it's just a good place. We'll be back for sure.

Not too sweet, as you would expect with a lemon drop. Started with the burrata, which was very good. I was torn between the lobster fettuccine and the surf and turf and ultimately went with the surf and turf. Three minor complaints (more constructive criticism): the rice was not a risotto, medium was well-done, and the dish was a bit salty for my preference. It wasn't a bad dish by any means, and I certainly scarfed it all down, so just maybe areas for improvement. Since I've only been here once, I'm only knowing them down a star. Excellent place for happy hour.

The spinach dip was delicious with a Parmesan crust. They also came with soft pita chips which was a nice change from toasted bread. The steak was deliciously seasoned and great flavor, cooked to perfection. The salad was a salad so nothing mind blowing there, but the loaded mashed potatoes were killer! It comes as a mound and when you take a bite, butter oozes out and it's just amazing. Highly recommend to ask for mashed potatoes loaded. Great dinner, great service!

The young kid who was doing meet and greet was just doing his job. But there were maybe 3 people in this place, and we had to wait 10 minutes. I should not have ignored my "think about staying here" meter that was going off loud and strong. I'm going to make this simple. Three in our party, here's what we ordered. 1. Ribeye with crispy Brussel sprouts, a side salad and a beer 2. Filet with asparagus, mac n cheese and a screwdriver 3. Hamburger with fries and a coke 4. The waitress brought out bread and butter 1: Ribeye was ok, nothing special, not particularly flavorful and tough, the brussel sprouts were burnt and undercooked. How does that happen, burnt and undercooked? 2. The asparagus were undercooked and hard. The filet was over peppered and tough. Mac n cheese was ok, but nothing special. 3. Hamburger was ok. So glad I asked for the special sauce that was mentioned to put on the burger to go on the side. The fries and sauce were so salty and were not edible. 4. The bread was dry and flavorless. The butter couldn't help it. Here's what is happening here. This place has someone that cannot properly prepare dishes properly. They are either undercooked, over seasoned, under seasoned or flavorless. We spent 130.00 for 3 people. This was a complete waste. Someone has to be noticing the amount of food that is coming back into the kitchen! There's nothing worse than spending this kind of money for bad food. Will I come back here again. Oh heck no. That's a very firm, very direct, NO. (Side note: go to spitfire grill or roadhouse; you will get your monies worth there)

When things had finally stabilized we decided to take ourselves out and landed at Lucky 13's. This is my kinda joint. Pub atmosphere, perfect (free) popcorn, fantastic retro tuneage, and speedy, efficient service are a given. The food is next level nom nom. They're one of the few restaurants out there that does a Monte Cristo sammich and when it's paired with their custom L13 Tots? Epicurean delights abound. The only reason I'm giving the experience 4 stars (rather than 5) is because their checkout process is entirely too old school. And the pen I was given to sign the receipt had little-to-no ink left in it. I know. Seems petty. But when it takes so long to do the whole card-bill-process-return dance that asking for a better writing utensil seems like a huge effort? Yup.
