When you get there, it's a small bar/restaurant and you have to be 21+ to get in. Once we got in, we waited for a long time too to be seated since it was packed and not much seating to begin with in the first place. We put our name on the whiteboard and waited and grabbed a beer. While we were waiting, they have some slot machines and a blackjack table that you can play and kill some time, but even the blackjack table was full so I didnt bother. We were about to leave after waiting for about an hour but then some spaces at the bar opened up and we ended up taking those seats. I ordered the wings in their SHARK STYLE sauce and it was really good. you can choose how spicy you want them. I ordered 10 spice, but next time i'm going to do 12, because 10 isn't really spice at all. I also had a side of fried okra which was good too, because it tasted like it was fresh cut okra and not frozen and fried. I would definitely come back, just hope the wait isn't as long.

It's a dive bar, so I'm not expecting grade A, but have the list available to people. Odd there was a bouncer at the door. Like it's a restaurant. Must get rowdy?? I don't know. It was Saturday at 7pm when we were there, nothing out of the ordinary. Now, this is not our first time eating here. We are from out of town and probably make it to grand forks once a year maybe. The first time we had wings here, out of this world!! This time...soup master zero. Absolutely drowning in sauce. And they were 5000 degrees, so too hot to eat and handle. By the time we were able to eat them, soggy. The wings themselves also, in our humble opinion too big. The drummies where huge!! I dont like them that big, again just adds to the texture problem. We got traditional buffalo level 15. Flavor was excellent and heat was nice and hot, but not challenging. Also got the peanut butter. Fun!! And the jelly side dip was an excellent pairing. Wouldn't want more than 6, honestly 3 would be good as a fun little novelty. The deep fried okra was a hard pass. Bland, soggy, stupid. Don't bother.

We had seen the overall strong reviews of this place and had a hankering for some pizza so we…read moredecided to go. Then we looked more carefully at the reviews and noticed that many of the recent reviews in the last year were quite negative especially regarding their service. We had second thoughts but since we wanted Detroit style pizza we forged ahead. We were able to get a booth in the bar instead of getting shuttled to the upstairs (it was raining so their roof deck wasn't an option). Our server was prompt and since we knew this type of pizza can take awhile to bake we ordered right away. We got the Barry with two types of pepparoni and hot honey. After the server took our pizza and drink order (happy hour beer prices $2 off) we decided to get a caeser salad. At first she balked since the pizza order was already in there was no guarantee it would come out before the pizza - hmmm an example of the service issues others wrote about? But minutes later she told us she expedited the salad and sure enough it was out in 5 minutes well ahead of the pizza which only took slightly more than 20 minutes which is fast for Detroit style pizza. The pizza was very good. Though some complain that the edges are burnt this is the cheese. It doesn't taste burnt it tastes great. This is Detroit style pizza done right. The sauce was sweet with a bit of heat from the hot honey. The salad was OK. Service was good, pizza was great...only downside was $34 for the large. This was high for this type of pizza which we've had in many different cities.

The waiter with other customers seemed great. We look forward to seeing how great the pizza is hot and hopefully better customer service.

After I politely asked them to take it back and said I didn't want it remade, our server basically disappeared. Our drinks sat empty, and when it came time to pay, that took forever too. What really added to the frustration was watching the table right behind us with the same waiter and seated just after us get their food quickly, fresh, and their drinks refilled without issue. This isn't our first bad experience here, but we had hoped things would be better this time. On our way out, my wife spoke briefly with a manager who apologized and said he wished he had known sooner, but unfortunately, the damage was already done. We left genuinely disappointed and unsure if we'll give it another try.

We were in town staying at a nearby hotel and needed dinner. We drove over and the place was…read moresurprisingly hopping for a Monday night. We got a booth inside since it was too hot to dine on their veranda. Our waitress was prompt with our orders and my huckleberry mule came out in a reasonable amount of time. The drink itself was OK. It's fruitiness was a bit odd but at $8 it was a good deal. I ordered the boneless wings with the sweet chili sauce. They were quite good. My wife took advantage of their Monday night $5 off all burgers special and got their specialty burger with bacon, peanut butter and a fried egg on it. Sound gross but she liked it though it was a bit overdone at pink since they wouldn't do medium rare. Prices were reasonable though they have a credit card surcharge. The big complaint was how long we had to wait for our food to arrive even though by the time we ordered the crowds had dissipated. It was a looooong time.

The Bacon Cheeseburger was solid--thick-cut bacon, juicy patty, exactly what you want when you're craving a classic. The sweet potato fries were on point, and the queso fries were dangerously good. One of our favorites of the night was the Firecracker Shrimp--mildly spicy, super flavorful, and honestly way better than we expected from bar food. The whole place has a chill, fun atmosphere, the kind of bar you settle into without even trying. The table next to us ordered wings and they looked incredible... so yes, we're already planning our return trip just for those. Shoutout to Jacob, who closed us out and made sure everything was exactly to our liking. Great service on top of great food = winning combo. Can't wait to go back!

The place is really big. There is a small casino in the front (a few slot machines, poker/craps/blackjack tables, etc. my eyes were drawn to the bar, it's almost the entire length of the place. They have a bunch of flat screens showing sports and a bunch of tables if you don't want to sit at the bar. 5 out of 5 for the amount of beer on tap, a quick kitchen, and a delicious burger.

After taking 15 minutes to figure out the stupid road construction and getting tailgated by Minnesotans, we made it. The wait was pretty short (no more than five minutes, we came in at 5:30ish.) Our waiter was Tyler. He was the jolliest guy I've ever seen and he was very fast with our food. I don't know what magic spell they did to my friend's ribs but they were genuinely the best ribs I've ever had and probably one of the greatest pieces of meat I've ever had. Shout out to Tyler and the chef, I hope your pillows are cold tonight. :) Every time I come here, I get even more impressed by the service and decor.

Tips: - If you are new to Texas Roadhouse, you get the…read moreultimate treatment. You get to sample any three sides for free! - If you buy a gift card, it never expires. - Service was stellar. If I could give a million stars to an eatery on Yelp, it would be this one. A couple of Fridays ago, I had a long travel day. Since airfare between Toronto and Minneapolis was still highway robbery during a seat sale, I chose the cheaper option of flying between Toronto and Winnipeg, and doing a road trip between Winnipeg and Minneapolis. Cheaper. I also like to drive. My day started at 4:40 am Eastern. I got to Winnipeg just before 10 am. I was ready for food by the time I got to Grand Forks, which is almost the midpoint between Winnipeg and Minneapolis. Friends have told me to go visit Texas Roadhouse. What did it for me was seeing my Yelp friend, Guy, take a photo of a beautifully cooked sirloin steak. I wanted it. Badly. I've done this route between Winnipeg and Rochester, MN countless times. However, I was a bit rusty with a rest stop just north of Grand Forks. I forgot that it's shared with northbound and southbound traffic, so I needed to turn left to access it instead of right. I didn't bother slamming on the brakes and going into a tailspin. It was cold and the ramp was icy. My bladder needed attention by the time I got to his eatery. I backed into a snow-covered, frozen parking spot and walked in. I got a woman at the front. She asked me if I was okay with bar seating. I said that I was if this eatery was full. It wasn't at roughly 2 pm on a Friday. I asked for a booth instead. I got a man taking me to the booth. We passed by a display of raw steaks. "Did you want to pick out your steak?" he asked me. "I'd need to see a menu. It's my first time here," I replied. I saw the washrooms after I asked him where they were. He asked me if I wanted peanuts. I said yes. I basically took off my jacket and attended to my bladder. The women's washroom was clean. I used it again just before I hit the road. The booth that I was in was comfy. I got a bag of peanuts with the shells on. I had one bag during my stay in Minneapolis. Delicious! I got rolls to start. Each roll was fluffy and warm, slightly sweet, with butter brushed on top. They come with cinnamon honey butter, which was to-die-for delectable. Savanna was my server.Communication between staffers was incredible. She found out that I was a newbie. She said that I could sample three sides for free. Wow! I tried the following samplers: - Texas red chili - Green beans - Mushrooms Excellent! The chili was flavourful and had ground beef. The green beans were perfectly done with bacon. The mushrooms were hearty and yummy. The sampler was brought out by the Mia, the marketing manager. I got an offer for a free side dish the next time. She was friendly. I wasn't expecting such a warm welcome. They likely don't get too many travellers these days, especially from Canada. I order the following for my meal: - 8-ounce sirloin with garlic shrimp, garlic bread, corn, and apple sauce - Diet Coke I got my Diet Coke with my peanuts and rolls. It was fizzy and cold. I got refills often. My meal came with two sides. I loved the corn and apple sauce. The former had butter. The latter was my dessert because my meal was exceptionally filling! My main had arrived. I got the sirloin steak medium. It was flavourful and perfectly done. My mouth is watering as I long for another sirloin from this place. Savanna got me sauteed onions on the side. They were excellent with the steak and were complimentary. The garlic bread under everything was a surprise hit. They were garlicky and buttery. I still think about it. There was a gift card promotion. If I bought a $30 gift card, I got $5 for free. Gift cards don't expire and can be used at any Texas Roadhouse. I said yes. I settled the bill at the table. There was a payment system that worked efficiently. I tapped and was done. My server took service to a whole new level. She asked me where I was coming from. I told her my story. She was so thrilled to have me. She asked if she could send me off with a fresh order of rolls. OMG! I felt like I got the VIP treatment. It was so kind. I got four rolls with a side of cinnamon honey butter in a box, all packed up for me. She also threw in another bag of peanuts. I had them for breakfast. They were so perfect warmed up. I slathered the cinnamon honey butter like the world was going to end. Fabulous! For someone who just wanted to rest her eyes from staring at flat land for hours and get some grub, this place made me feel special. I don't know if they do that for tourists like this Canadian or it's the usual treatment. I loved it. Thanks to everyone for making my first Texas Roadhouse experience a special and wonderful one. When I'm doing this run again, I'll definitely return for more good eats. (487)
