I would say my favorite thing to eat is a cheeseburger. You all win for probably the best beef I've…read morehad on a burger. I can tell I was in North Dakota and you all use some quality beef for your hamburgers. We were quite a large group and everyone who got a hamburger said the same thing they couldn't believe how tasty they were compared to what we have experienced in other states. It's a really small restaurant but they were able to accommodate our group. I definitely enjoyed my meal there and if you are in Mendora, come stop and check them out.

It isn't very big, 9 tables. The boneless wings, Asian chicken wrap, and patty melt were all good…read more The wings could have used more sauce and the wrap less lettuce. Cole slaw and French fries were good as well. Service was fast and efficient. Prices are in line with most places in town, $14 to $16 per entree.

We both ordered the waffle, bacon fruit breakfast special with bacon, that were too sweet more like a beautiful dessert & delicious. The best part of breakfast was talking to our waitress who moved here last year to go to nursing school in Bismarck. I think we were the only non locals here!

My pancake was good! I mean, how do you mess up a pancake? My husband got the biscuits and gravy…read more It was different. We are from the South- we do biscuits with white gravy. This was not that- this had like, maybe? a chicken gravy? It had a chicken flavor to it? Maybe that's how they make gravy up north- if that's what you like, you will love it. If you are looking for white gravy- this ain't it.

My wife made reservations on the MyTable app for 6pm. Since we were wandering around Medora we…read morestopped in around 4pm to double check (I'm leery of 3rd party sites) and confirmed with Lucia that our reservation was indeed in their system so I took a deep breath and we went about our afternoon. We returned about 6pm and this time entered through the hotel and paused at the "Please wait to be seated" sign post for about 10 minutes. The restaurant was bustling and we thought nothing about being "ignored" but my wife insisted that we walk to the main entrance and get in line. We were shocked when the front end staff found no reservations under my wife's name. Thankfully, "Shaker" had noted our earlier visit with my wife's service animal and had made a handwritten to the affect that we had a dog. Whew, crisis averted thanks to "the man", Shaker and his attention to detail! Dinner was uneventful and the service by Franco was exceptional. We enjoyed the bourbon glazed Brussel sprouts before our entrees; she had the 8 oz tenderloin and I had the osso bucco. Everything was terrific and the pace, leisurely. Since we were celebrating my wife's birthday she got a candle on her sticky, toffee pudding and I opted for the creme brulee. Fantastic experience, highly recommended.

This area has a historic western country town feel to it that also feels touristy. It was a warm day and this place was a perfect treat after exploring the day in the park. I got a small cup of huckleberry ice cream and it was delicious and refreshing! We were able to find parking easily. They have tables and chairs outside to enjoy your ice cream at. The inside has gifts if you are in the mood for shopping. They had a large selection of flavors of ice cream to choose from! Highly recommend!

We were here for a private party so we were up on the top floor of the restaurant. The waitress who…read morewas serving our large party was the sweetest server ever. It was very chaotic with all of the people upstairs, but she made sure everybody got their order. As for the food, I did order the tri-tip sandwich as she did mention that was probably one of the most popular items. I smoke tri-tip all of the time and I feel bad rating it this way, but I didn't particularly care for the sandwich sandwich. However, my brother ordered the same thing and he loved it. Check them out when you're in Medora.

Broad menu options, great post-hiking food, and fantastic service!…read more The French dip was excellent, especially because the default is just meat/bread with dip! We both got huge piles of sweet potato fries that were cooked to crispy perfection. And the wings were also fantastic! We somehow spilled a full glass of water all over the table, and the staff instantly sprung into action to clean it up. They were so kind and quick, and really went above and beyond. Additionally, food arrived quickly and we were never waiting for long. It's a huge space that seems good for any size group.

We are so happy we found this gem! Not only did they have an excellent wine list and mules, but…read morethey also had delicious food. Plus, they turned on the World Cup match for us. Most of the seating is at the bar. The bar chairs are cushy, with backs and places for your feet. There is also a sitting area with couches. We both enjoyed our beverages and would've had another if we didn't have to hop on the road. I drank a rose from the Willamette River Valley, OR, while my hubby had a mule. For lunch, we ordered the yummy burrata with prosciutto and tomatoes as our appetizer. For our meal, we shared the chicken bacon ranch pizza. It was so good and very filling. We might have been able to eat it all if we hadn't gotten the app, but we can't resist a burrata. I recommend asking for a side of their ranch to dip your crust in. They also have a gift shop with excellent-smelling soy candles that I almost bought (but I'm on a candle freeze until I use more of what I already have) and t-shirts and coasters with fun quotes. They also have escape rooms in envelopes that I was tempted to buy, as I have never seen them.

All 3 wine options in my flight were outstanding, and we also got a mule. - the flatbread pizza! All the meats were high-quality and it was cooked perfectly. - my husband loved the BBQ blueberry meatball pizza, and it's very unique to the area. - the vegan chocolate cake- didn't even get a pic because it was so excellent I ate it immediately, and I also appreciated having a vegan dessert option Could improve: - chips & salsa were worse than anything I get from the grocery store- they tasted like straight-up Tostitos mild. For like $10 and with otherwise great food, please do better. - the service was extremely indifferent. The main guy working was alone behind the counter, with no customers when we arrived, and he didn't acknowledge us for several minutes. We watched this pattern of confusion continue with everyone else who came in- no one knew where to sit, etc. He rarely visited tables and it took a long time to even get water and menus.

If you're a truck driver passing through North Dakota, I'd definitely recommend stopping by. First, shoutout to my server, Taya. Customer service was A1 from start to finish. She was friendly, professional, took my order quickly, and made the whole experience enjoyable. I ordered the fried pickles and fried mushrooms, and both came out fast and were prepared really well. I'd give the fried pickles a 7.8/10 and the fried mushrooms a 7.1/10. No complaints at all. The thing that really stood out to me, though, was something I've never seen before. I sat at the front bar, and instead of regular bar stools, they had what felt like actual high-quality truck seats. As a truck driver, that was such a cool touch. Comfortable seating like that makes a difference after a long day on the road, and it's something that sets Dakota Diner apart from other places I've visited. I also owe the staff an apology. I'd been driving so hard that I was completely absent-minded and accidentally started walking out without paying my bill. Taya actually had to run outside to get my attention. I was honestly pretty embarrassed, but they were incredibly understanding and handled the situation with kindness and professionalism. I really appreciated the grace they showed me. Overall, I had a great experience and would absolutely stop here again. Good food, quick service, outstanding hospitality, and a unique touch that truck drivers can appreciate. Four stars from me.

The Dakota diner staff provides the warm diner feel that is comforting after a long road trip. The interior also resembles a diner, offering a variety of breakfast and lunch options that are served all day. We also ordered a sausage and cheese omelette, which came with a side of hashbrowns, which I thought were pretty good. What I also liked about this diner was their soup and salad bar, available for just an additional few dollars, which was nice since it can be tough to get some greens in during a road trip. It came with unlimited trips to the soup and salad bar, and the salad bar also surprisingly included potato salad, pasta vinaigrette salad, and macaroni salad. It's nothing fancy, but that's how a diner should be!

It's not fancy, just roadside diner atmosphere. We were there on a Wed. and the special that day was pierogies. We did not have their special, but the food we got was very tasty. While we waited for our food the waitress chatted us up and was quite interesting to talk to. Before we left they had homemade chocolate chip cookies and brownies on the counter. They looked so good so we got a couple of each for the road. They were absolutely delicious, the brownies were quite moist. We don't live in ND but happen through there frequently, and love to visit TRNP, this will definitely be on our agenda. I recommend highly.
