We went for the caramel rolls, but they were out. Settled for the homemade rhubarb kuchen and ice…read morecream. The kuchen was delicious but because we got there at 11 they were already out of caramel rolls...couldn't give them 5 stars just because of this. I understand they are supposed to be delicious, but I just can't on premise alone. The bathroom is clean...but SUPER SMALL...just be prepared for something the size of an airplane toilet! I was just there a few weeks ago, if it's truly closed permanently that is really sad. There aren't enough of these places left and we need to keep them going!

Im from Kansas and live in Chicago, this place is WORTH it. Top 10 meal experience I have had in…read morethe past decade and I have eaten at 3-Star Michelin rated establishments. I rarely ever write a review but this place is deserving. The quintessential diner experience: waitress bantering with the regulars, home made pie (that you always seem to get the last slice of), perfectly brewed coffee, friendly service, and absolutely delicious food. I would eat here everyday if I could. The entire diner has an overarching feel of nostalgia wrapped in a hug in front of a fireplace? If that makes sense? The Chocolate Creme pie might have been the best piece of pie I have ever had. The soup of the day was incredible, and if you are lucky enough to get a caramel roll, I highly recommend it. The single worst part of this experience was realizing I would not be able to have it again soon as I was traveling through. But you can bet your rear end the next time I am in Bismarck, I am making a drive over to Ohm's Cafe. Arguably might the best diner in America. Food was delicious, not too greasy, homemade, full of flavor, affordable, and just exquisite. However you define this restaurant, I do not care, all I care about is making sure whatever it is, there is more of it.

I kind of understand the appeal because it's sort of like home cooking. The problem is that my…read moremother wasn't that great a cook. The food was pretty bland. The knoephla soup had a ton of knoephla swimming in sweet cream, but no potato or any other flavor. The only redeeming dish we had was the sour cream apple pie. It's not that any of it was bad... it just wasn't all that great. Although I know people who sear by it, so take my opinion with a pinch of pfeffer. Service was quick, and the server was helpful. The ambiance is VERY small town cafe.

I've even made my own from scratch with very good results. But I must say: The Walrus blew my mind. Their presentation is absolutely fantastic. The cakes are meaty, just-right-crispy and delicious and they are served perched on a bed of gorgeous greens. The greens are lightly dressed in a lovely vinaigrette and topped with perfectly roasted veggies and feta. YUM! We also ordered the artichoke and spinach dip. Delicious. AND served with plenty of yummy crostini for dipping. So many places skimp on the dippers, and it's always annoying. Not so at The Walrus. Service was prompt, friendly, attentive and efficient. If I'm ever back in Bismarck, I'll be campaigning for a return visit. Until then, I'll be dreaming about those crab cakes.

I had the Cajun Tetrazinni, and it was great with every bite. With the food being great it sure was nice to have the host and my server match the food excellence! Great job! Warning I will be back!!! Thanks Much.

The food is also very good, and includes lots of selections from their North Dakota "Germans from Russia" heritage.

Besides the friendly atmosphere, you can also browse their quirky gift/pawn shop.

What a wonderful stop upon arriving in Bismarck! We arrived about 30 min before closing time and…read morethey still got us seated, served, and out the door with a carmel roll to-go by close. Super quaint, a staple if you are visiting. All of the food was good and I'm convinced everything on the menu is probably just as good. Being from the south, I doubted finding any proper country diners, but boy was I mistaken. Everything was warm and so comforting in the dishes we ordered. They have German food option and American food (and LOTS of good looking breakfast food). Would highly recommend.

Iv never had bad food or service here, and I'm always so happy to see that my favorite waitress is still working after years of us coming! We met her before we got engaged, and now we have a two year old! My only complaint is they have no changing table in the bathrooms. Oh yea, and they have the BEST Knephola Soup in town!
