This was my favorite spot to eat for our Dakotas trip! So much so, we came here the two nights we…read morewere in Dickinson. We got there early both nights for two reasons: 1. They get busy quickly, had a wait after we were seated both nights. 2. They have both short and high top tables. We needed the short tables for my father-in-law. The only negative about this place is the space and ability to move around in between tables, especially when someone like my FIL is using a walker. Here are some of the things we got during our two visits that we enjoyed: *Huckleberry mule - got this both nights, this was made to perfection! *Steak Tips *Cheese curds *Knoephla soup - something the area is known for, and I'm glad I got a chance to try. Similar to a chicken and dumplings that the south is known for. Note they do not have this soup every night, although they should. *Walleye sandwich - my husband had never had walleye. Also something the area is known for and he was glad he got to try! *Scotcharoo - a dessert the area is known for, which we had never had. It's a much better tasting rice krispy treat as it has the addition of peanut butter, chocolate, and butterscotch. All of the flavors work so well together. We loved it so much, we got a couple extras on the second night to take home with us! We really enjoyed getting to try drinks and food the area is known for. The service was fantastic both nights - servers always willing to help with a smile. I highly recommend Blue 42 if you are in the area!

I also loved the camaraderie between all the servers and bartenders. Everyone helped a H other and asked, "How can I help you?" It was very impressive that they were so caring toward each other and had each other's backs. The bar chairs are comfy, but the bar for my legs was a little low, and I'm tall. I had an espresso martini, which they made a little sweet for my taste, and my hubby had the huckleberry mule, which was really good. We ordered the pickled something for our appetizer, and it was so good! It's like pickles in an egg roll with a delicious sauce. For dinner, I had walleye with crinkle fries and a side of ranch, which was good. I was getting full. I ate my walleye without the bun, and I dipped it in the sauce from the app. My hubby was very happy there was a patty melt on the menu and thoroughly enjoyed it. He got the slaw as his side and liked it too. We will definitely come back for drinks and eats if we are ever in th town again.

Always a blast to enjoy small talk with Jack when you check out. I love their ice in the soft drinks, it's that small-cube "hospital" ice that turns your drink super cold in a hurry. The atmosphere is cozy, and like others suggested, grandma's house kinda cozy. Who doesn't like going to grandma's house? They need more chickens in the restaurant decor! Hahaha I still don't know why they replaced their iconic old sign "BUCKETS OF CHICKEN" with that hideous new one. Even on closer inspection (like 5-feet away) I still can't figure out what that clip art image in the middle is. A kettle, octopus with some tomatoes? Lol

Very glad I stopped by JD'S, was craving some bbq and it could not have been better!…read more I got the platter with shredded pork and beef brisket. The meats were both perfect -- the brisket was practically melting in my mouth, it was so tender and juicy. The fries were good, and the cornbread was a nice touch, but it was really the meat that stole the show. As should be the case at any great bbq joint! They also have a great selection of drinks, with plenty of beers on tap, along with frozen drinks/spirits. Overall one of the better bbq experiences I've had! This place is well worth a visit.
