We came here on a Friday night before a hockey game and we were seated right away! Our server took our drink orders almost immediately, and they came out pretty quickly, I will say this is mainly a beer joint, hence the name, but they do have a couple of Selzer options if needed. Our food came out pretty quickly and as ordered, and tasted really good! As we were leaving the place seemed to fill out so I would assume it's a pretty popular place for Friday nights! read more

Burgers Fries & Beer are king here!! If you're looking for a quaint place to have a burger and a beer this is the place to be. The restaurant is not very large inside for seating , has a large selection of craft beers to choose from. The burgers are delicious.!!!! read more

Got to go and was quick and fresh. Fairly affordable and good quality ingredients. HOWEVER very under seasoned and under sauced. Needed more spice and ketchup on the burger. A decent burger but nothing to write home about. Fries are good. read more

What a great little burger and beer joint. Modern box exterior hides a cozy pub inside. When you walk through the door you are greeted by a bar on the left side that runs about halfway down. Booths and tables on the right then beyond the bar you have more tables. They even have an enclosed outdoor seating area at the back for the good days and nights. The beer selection is pretty good. We even found a nice lingonberry gose to take home in a growler. The burgers are delicious and we enjoyed their fresh made chips as well. The pretzel was pretty good too with a crisp buttery crust that kept me going back for more. The extra find was their fresh made peanut butter. If we lived here I think I would have to stop by regularly for their peanut butter to take home. Service was top notch with frequent checks to see if we needed anything. read more

Stopped in after work, service was spot on! Had a cheeseburger and fries. Both came out hot and perfectly done.

JL burger, hands down the best burger I have ever ordered when eating out and time after time continues to be. Variety of different drinks every week also makes it a great experience to come for a weekly lunch/dinner to try new things out. I've been 10+ times and have always had great service at all 3 Fargo locations. Seating options are cozy but don't feel crowded at all, especially for a bar. If you haven't been you have to go. Make sure to get the home made peanut butter on your way out! read more

The humpty-dumpty burger with bacon & peanut butter is great hangover fare. The bacon cheddarpeno burger with a flight of craft beer is gluttonously amazing. Always worth leaving a hefty tip if they deliver on service and quality. read more

Holy Mecca of beers and burgers! If you enjoy both, you should probably ask to move in here bc the choices are a plenty! For burgers under $6 you cannot go wrong. Fries were hella good but damn that cheddar jalapeno spice they throw on will scorch your mouth for the remainder of your stay. Biggest downside to this place was the temperature. I should have asked for a side order of heat! Chairs are metal so your ass is frozass, and most ppl kept their jackets on... Hello! Thats a sign! I wore mine like a blanket over my legs like a loser but whatever, I do what I want!! I bet in summer this place would be pretty cool, and their unique types of burgers sounded delish. Mine was also fantastic (mushroom/swiss/teriyaki sauce,) and the black bean quinoa patty was killer tasty too! Def recommend if you want to try your beer buds with a smorgasbord variety of brews and eat a tasty burger for fairly cheap. read more

JL Beers - Beer flights ! - Burgers Near Me - Fargo, North Dakota

I came here for an early dinner. It looked like a fairly new restaurant. It was all by itself on one side of the block. I was seated immediately and ordered their classic burger with first a Junkyard Coachgun IPA. I followed that up with a Fargo Mighty Red. I also sampled a few other local beers. The waiter had me sample two other beers that he thought I would like. They were a Southern Tier 2xone and Rush River Double Bubble. They were both good beers. I preferred the Southern Tier. The burger was decent but pretty plain. I might want to try something else on their menu besides the classic burger before I write off their food. Their beer selection was pretty good, so I would definitely want to come back here for a beer or two. read more

I love all the JL Beers locations. What I like most about this 32 Ave S location is the ease of getting here, especially for someone like me who lives in South Fargo. This is especially handy with take out orders. I've done more take out here than I've actually gone in and sat down. The prices are so good for food this tasty. Our take out order from the weekend included 3 burgers (one of them was a double patty) and an order each of the chips and fries - and it came to about $20. Speaking of chips, they are outstanding. I would almost always take the chips over the fries, especially if ordering take out (the fries get soggy on the drive home). Not saying I don't get the fries on occasion, but those chips are good. And they give you so much! read more

JL Beers - Takeout for NYE! - Burgers Near Me - Fargo, North Dakota

Visiting Fargo on a business trip and wanted to try a brewery local to the area. I had a chicken sandwich and the loaded fries with jalapeño ranch. All the food was awesome and I had two different pints and a dark beer flight. One of my coworkers had another burger and a sour beer flight along with a few other local beers. Everything was awesome and the waitstaff was more than attentive. Definitely coming back here this summer on my next visit to the area. read more

The burgers are terrific. The fries are great too. The prices are a bit high for what you get. The beer menu is great. If you are a beer drinker, this is your place. However, my other knock on this place besides the prices, is that you don't have many drink options besides beer. I tried to order a club Soda, they don't offer it. When I asked why I was to.d "we were a beer place". Also, slow service is often the norm. However, the burgers and beer are worth the wait if you have time. read more

OK....someone at JL Beers has been monitoring my dreams. How do I know? 1) Not Just A Nutter Burger - Fresh peanut butter, red pepper jelly, diced jalapeños, pepperjack cheese and cottage bacon. Holy Shit it was good. Can I say "shit" on Yelp!? I guess I'll soon find out and 2) FRESHLY GROUND honey roasted peanut butter. Yeah, as they say, it's really good! I needed a good burger after walking out of another burger joint in Fargo due to a complete lack of service. Yes, I'll admit that I was driving aimlessly in and in a foul mood when low and behold....a JL Beers sign. I didn't realize they had a location in south Fargo but there is was. Now I'll admit that I've had some issues with JL Beers in the past, at least at other locations. For one thing, it still annoys me that I can't get a damn glass of ice water. But still, this was a sign from above so pulled in and sidled up to the bar. When I asked about the new Nutter Burger the bartender said "it's pretty good if you can get past the peanut butter". WHAT? Get past it? That the main reason I want it moron. So order I did, along with a tall Deschutes Black Butte Porter (another company that gets me) and an order of buffalo blu chips....or so I thought. Burger and chips arrived in no time. But the chips...WTF? There was lettuce and tomatoes and onions and blue cheese and...and...and RANCH. My head might have actually spun around. Who in the hell puts ranch on chips? If there isn't a law against it there should be. So I fought through the fog of confusion in brain and summoned the beer tender. "Those are the BLT Blu chips, like you ordered". Damn it...yes, it was now coming back to me. I had glanced at the menu and accidentally ordered exactly what I was looking at - the new BLT Blu chips, not the incredibly tasty Buffalo Blu Chips. I was crushed. The beer slinger, on the other hand, seemed indifferent although he did add "ya, I don't like ranch either". Yes, I know, it was my mistake. But the complete lack of concern on his part did surprise me. Anyway, the day was saved by the burger. It was everything I could have ever asked for in a burger - well cooked, fresh bun, thick bacon, nice spicy kick and some absolutely amazing peanut butter. How amazing? I left with a 16 oz container. It was still warm from the grinder. My only regret is that I didn't get two. Two burgers and two peanut butters. Next time I'll be smarter. Oh, and next time I'll remember to take pictures....maybe. read more

Super great burger . If I ever find myself back in Fargo; I will definitely come back. Loved it.

Ok... for a dude who travels all the time, my host told me I HAD to come in and get a Humpty Dumpty (pictured). It's a burger with American Cheese and a fried egg. I decided to add jalapeños, grilled onions and tomato. As a side, I through the Buffalo Blue chips in for the fun. I drank the Brain Wash IPA and then closed with the Vanilla Porter. What a fantastic evening. The staff made me feel right at home. Maybe it's the small town-ness, maybe it's the beer but I ended up having a great conversation with the two waitresses and then a local who comes in every evening after work. I thoroughly enjoyed myself. I would come back again any time I am in need of a great burger and some goodness. I recommend this place if you ever on the hunt for some good people and some great chow. Nothing that will blow your mind but it will definitely hit the spot. Thanks for the great close to a great trip read more

My favorite burger spot in Fargo. They always have new things to try on tap and the best burger I've ever had. I get the J.L burger every time I go. Food is always brought out within 10 minutes of ordering and the servers are very accommodating. My new regular spot. read more

Burgers are always amazing and the fries are good too. Service has always been top notch. I like the fact that it's smaller and it always feels like a unique experience even though it's the same place haha. read more

By far the best burgers in Fargo. Extensive list of beers on tap, from local to commercial choices. College town feel meets local favorite. Spiral cut potato chips are house made, and perfectly seasoned. Entire building is spotless, bathrooms are pristine. Perfect place for a casual date night, boys night out, or first date. Don't miss it! read more

JL Beers is a must stop in Fargo. Their pretzel appetizer is something you will dream about in nights to come. They have a great beer menu and flight options which I find super fun! I love the atmosphere and could not speak more highly about the service I received. My fiance got called into work just after we put in our order. We were scrambling not knowing what to do since we just settled in and finished our appetizer. The staff gladly changed our order to a to go order, I was able to drop my fiancé off at work (since it was really that urgent), and come back to grab our to go order. The helpfulness of the staff I was beyond impressed with. I felt so flustered but the staff response being so relaxed and helpful made everything go so smoothly. Can't wait to go to JL Beers again! Great people, great food, great beer! read more

JL Beers never disappoints! I've been to both locations in Sioux Falls, and I've been to the downtown and West Fargo locations in Fargo. None of those locations have disappointed and this location is no exception! I'm glad all locations keep up with the atmosphere I love about JL Beers! Rajun Cajun burger is always my go-to with of course a side of Cajun fries! Beer and burgers, how can you go wrong? read more

I wasn't impressed. It's clean, nice atmosphere, but the menu was limited and boring. I had a jalapeños chicken sandwich. It was ok. It came ala carte, so I also ordered chips that were so so. Sorry read more

This place can be a lot better for what it has. There is a lot of beer on tap which is a good thing for some people but I feel like that's the only thing going for them. The food is basic at best. Something you can get at like a diner but better quality. The fries have no taste at all and like I said, basic. This place probably gains profit from their beer and not food. Not a good thing in a industry read more

This place is great. A burger joint meets a bar and it's a fun place with a huge bar. The burgers are very good. The fresh chips are amazing and the food overall is excellent. I ordered a burger and chips and it came in about 5 minutes. This paired with a beer was quite possibly the perfect meal. Prices were reasonable. Service was good. Beer was cold. You can't beat this place. It's looks small from the outside but there was plenty of space and seats even Hough the parking lot was almost full. Great utilization of space inside. Very efficient Great design. If this is not a franchise it should be. Great place to go. I highly recommend. read more

We've been going to JL Beers for several years and I don't think I've ever had a better burger. They are so fresh and juicy. Not to mention the freshly cut French fries and variety of dipping sauces. So many beers on tap and always a cider or two if you're not into beer. The staff are always friendly! read more

This place was recommended by a woman working at the hotel I'm staying at. Great local spot and friendly environment. The bartender was a great help with his suggestions of beers. I had the Mornin' Latte which was pretty delicious. I had the 32nd street burger with garlic parmesan fries which was very tasty. read more

Always spot on. A small but awesome menu. Been here many many times and I've never had anything that wasn't executed perfectly. Friendly staff at the 5 locations we have frequented. A great selection of taps for my hubby and 1919 root beer for me. read more

Hands down, my go to place to get a great burger in the FM area, and you can't beat the price of $4-$6 per burger! Service is quick and friendly every time too. My favorite is the 32nd Avenue burger, which comes with bacon, cheese, BBQ sauce, and BBQ seasoning - with an add-on of grilled onions. Chips and fries are made to order - my favorites are the shoe string fries (you can also get steak fries) or the chips, with Cajun seasoning. They also have options for flava town as well, such as their beer cheese dip and their jalapeno cheddar seasoning. Excellent selection of beers as well, and on Wednesdays, this location pours out a beer that they specially infused for the week! Only bummer is that it can be hard to go with a larger group during peak meal times since there's limited seating. read more

JL Beers has the best burgers for a very affordable price! I can never do fast food again as long as I have JL Beers!

Went there for lunch, sandwich was good but the fries were way too salty. Also recommend offering ice with water or soda. Not everyone drinks beer on a work day read more

Great place. Best burger you will eat and a great selection of beer. Friendly workers! Make this a stop and order the cheese sauce with your fries or chip!!!! read more

JL Beers - Burgers Near Me - Fargo, North Dakota

Let's start with the good: it's a simple beer and burger joint that is a bit fancy but they do their job well. Best selection of beer I've found on this business trip and a damn fine burger! Where they can improve is: 1) engage your customers and visit a bit with people. We sat two at the bar on a Tuesday night that wasn't busy at all (only 6 other guests in a place that can seat 100). A little dialogue never hurt anyone. 2) explain that your "dips" are extraordinary large servings ( don't order the dips use ketchup instead) and 3) make your hand cut fries memorable and crispy. They were drenched in grease and totally soggy. Was told the other option was frozen fries - quite the up sell. Overall I would return, order a burger to go and drink a beer while I wait. read more

If you want a good burger accompanied by a delicious beer that you won't find anywhere else in Fargo, than JL beers is the place to go. Their beer selection changes at least once a month and they always have a vast selection of Tap beers. Their burgers are made to order as well as their chips (their chips are so good I've not tried the fries so i cannot comment on those). Their are very accommodating with portions as well, if you get a burger and chips you will not leave that place hungry i promise you that. Also if you get chips you better get their Beer cheese soup dip! read more

Best burger, location and service! I wish there was a JL Burger in Boston. We would for sure be regulars. Our daughter lives in Fargo and this is one of her go-to for great food and a beer spots. We were not disappointed. We will return in our next trip. read more
