We were thirsty and stopped for a drink. The servers were friendly, the patrons were as well. We didn't eat because there was a food festival going on and we thought to eat there (we weee wrong). The tap was a little low end (can't remember the last time I saw Busch on tap let alone Bus h Light), I had a bottle of Modelo. read more

Fun old broadway restaurant. I had a caesar salad and it was perfect to my liking. Definitely will go back!

Food was absolutely amazing on my trip last week. The service was great too. I loved the old dark wood decor.

The Old Broadway. Where do I begin? The grimiest bar/club in the FM area. You want to go to a bar where you're bound to get hit on by a handful of people ranging in age from 18-35 all in one night? The OB is your place. Although they play fun/hip music, their servers have been rude and tend to only serve men at the bar. Sure it can be fun if you're looking to dance a few drinks off, but yikes. It's grimy as all get out. read more

I used to frequent the Old Broadway faithfully when I moved to Fargo in the 90s and LOVED the place. I went back for old time's sake and couldnt have been more disappointed. I ordered a wedge salad, which was basically a quarter-head of lettuce sliding around on a plate, with minimal dressing or condiments. I asked the bartender for a Hurricane and he raised one eyebrow at me and gave me a look that said "Are you for real, bro?" He had to look up the recipe. My thought was "Are YOU for real, bro?" A Hurricane is a classic cocktail and EVERY bartender should know how to make one. The drink I got was overly sweet. I don't know what happened to the OB. I remember the days when it was a nightclub only (no restaurant or sports bar) with blackjack and off-track betting and it was shoulder-to-shoulder in there. Now, it's just sad, and dated, and dirty, with total amateurs behind the bar and in the kitchen. read more

We ate here one evening this past week and had the most fantastic bread pudding I have ever had in my life!! The next time I am in Fargo I will definitely be stopping in here again. My mouth waters even now just thinking about it! read more

Old Broadway - Fantastic Bread Pudding - Sports Bars Near Me - Fargo, North Dakota

Apparently I was visiting the area on the right night. As the OB has wine club night every Thursday. With membership ($30/yr or about $5 for a day pass) one receives three generous tasting samples as well as a full glass of their favorite. Beyond the wine, I also had the Blue Bacon Burger with sweet potato fries, which I must say, was pretty amazing. read more

Shitty drinks, shitty service, and they can't even hit someone right, even when they are holding them down. Avoid at all costs and meander to Rooters or literally anywhere else. read more

I love the old broad way because of the space and atmosphere of being somewhere away from my home town. The only thing that really just makes the entire night life experience TRASH is the fact that the dj plays the same exact playlist every single night during the weekend. Every single day. It's awful. It could be so so so great if the Dj would just okay something different lol read more

Stopped by after a bison game and the place was decent. The French dip sandwich was great and the beers on tap were as well. My only complaint would be the wings were not fried well. Almost a combination steam fry. Almost made me think they were undercooked. read more

I've been here a few times at night during the weekends, and every time that I've stepped inside, I instantly want to spray Febreeze everywhere and rub antibacterial hand sanitizer all over everyone and everything. Might be fun if you're looking to get drunk, get creeped on, and grind up on sketchy strangers. Otherwise, avoid this place. read more

Best thing: nothing Worst thing: everything I've heard terrible stories about this place but will only review my experience. I've been here twice, once for a birthday, the other for a bachelorette party. Both times the bathrooms were disgusting and the patrons were atrocious. Sleazy, slutty, cheap jersey shore people dancing around to very loud music and being obnoxious. Men will hit on you in a very nongentlemanlike manner. Everything about this place is the opposite of what I look for in a bar. If you want to go to a place where the women dress like harlots, the men act like pigs and everyone behaves like an idiot, this is your place. I try not to judge harshly but I hate this place. I've never been here for food, nor will I. I'm never setting foot in this place again. read more

Having only dined in the restaurant portion once, I'd say the food is good. I had a salad. Whatever. I will agree that the OB thinks they are more high-class than they can pull off. I'm just not buying it. A regular of the downtown bar scene, I'm more familiar with the bar. The "O. B. City Club" which when spoken quickly sounds like "Obesity Club". Unfortunately this is the best 'dance club' that Fargo has to offer. I've had the urge to confront many a DJ here and ask if he has heard any music produced after 2006. Seriously, last time I was there I left the dance floor when 'Get Low' (released in 2003) was played. Worst of all, the crowd eats that crap up. The OB always seems to attract the skanky girls who think they're hotter than they are and the Hollister-clad d-bags who love them. Not really the OB's fault, just Fargo culture in general. OK, seriously, why doesn't this place have a coat check? If I'm going out, I'm going to dress nicely. Maybe Fargo doesn't get that, but most places in the world abide by these norms. I don't like having to take off my expensive coat and throw it onto a pile on the floor. Last time someone spilled a drink on it. This is North Dakota, you should be able to make a fortune with a coat check. The drinks are cheap and they have great specials though, so usually I can get tanked enough to enjoy myself with my friends, despite the music and other patrons. Like I said, this is the best option I've got here so I'll make do. Having just moved back to Fargo from New York City, where I was drinking bottle service and dancing in the best clubs, I just wish there were another place downtown that could satisfy my clubbing needs. read more

Who would have thought that a restaurant in Fargo has international connections! The fish used for the fish fry comes from Lake Victoria in Africa according to the manager. And it's outstanding. It's even a tad better than the fish at Hodo Lounge, and I went nuts over that. That and a fresh squeezed lemonade were a great start to a Friday. I try not to repeat places I'm visiting, but I'll always hit Old Broadway. read more

*** review for bar only*** I did not eat at this place, so can't comment on the food. A friend and I went on a little bar crawl to see what Fargo had to offer, so this was our first stop I think. The bartenders were nice & we got beverages in hand relatively quickly, so that made me happy. They also make a pretty decent dirty martini! The mixed drinks were a little light on the alcohol, but overall not a bad place to grab a drink. It's kinda loud, but not so loud that you can't have a conversation with someone. I wouldn't mind stopping in for a drink again. read more

"A Once Great Eatery" For the past 5 years, I have been going to Old Broadway once every couple of months and the decline has been getting greater and greater every year. The final feeling comes from my last visit. Service The waitstaff is the absolute worst. Whether they are getting my order wrong (how can you confuse beer cheese and tortilla soup...TWICE) or completely ignoring a table - the waiters and waitresses at the OB are guilty. Management isn't any better. They didn't respond to complaints. Food Nothing to write home about here. Basic fare and the kitchen must not understand how to completely cook meat till done. My guest ordered a chicken caesar salad and when it did not arrive with chicken on it, they took it away - BUT returned with pink chicken and a giant red vein running through a cold piece of meat. Yep, almost completely raw. When we complained about this, we were told - "I don't think you ordered chicken anyway" Price Not worth the dollar amount. Anything that was good???? They have a bananas foster for dessert that is AWESOME. It is the only thing that could convince me to try this place again...but only after a few drinks. Side Note They also have the worst bathrooms and sometimes you have to walk through their rude nightclub doormen to get to the other restrooms read more

I've eaten here once before and that was, overall, a positive experience on all points. Last night, though, was full of miscues. My fiance and I met friends for a dinner/birthday celebration. Our server, to her credit, juggled all of us with polite courtesy despite some (what I would consider) difficult parts of the service (her having to deal with odd, but legitimate questions, dry sarcasm/quasi-rude questions from one of the dinner party) small quirks. Drinks were always filled (except for mine) and apps came out on-time and were hot. This is where it gets dicey. The young man who was delivering the food to tables was either new or just not well-suited to a service/customer-facing position. My caesar salad was set down at the far side of the table in front of a friend with a curt, "Enjoy." before he walked off. The salad had to be passed down by four people before getting to me. Past that, the salad was fine. It wasn't the pinnacle of salads, but it tasted fine. Next came our entrees. My plate was, again, delivered to the wrong end of the table and several other people had to pass it amongst each other for it to get to me. This was also the case with the plates of two other people. The young man in question just stared blankly; no offer to make right his mistake, then he walked off without a word. I ordered the Tuna Fusion and was hopeful that it would be awesome. It, however, was not. The tuna was overdone, very under-seasoned, and tasted either frozen or freezer-burnt and was rubbery. The dressings that came with it were likewise very unappealing. The (what I think was) wasabi mayonnaise was horrible - it tasted like raw mayo, but only light green in color. The bills were their own circus of issues. Our server split everything appropriately, but there were a lot of unanswered questions about service charges, gratuities, and triple-charging for drinks (lemonade). I'll likely give the place another shot, but was just very put-off by everything that went sideways last night. read more

This place committed two of my cardinal dining sins in the first 10 minutes. Blindsiding me with a gross wedge salad and bringing my food before I was even remotely close to being done with said salad. Okay, I don't know if it's just me, but let me start by saying that I think wedge salad is the culinary equivalent of asking a hotel guest to make their own bed. You just chop a head of iceberg lettuce in half twice and stick it on a plate. Then you throw some other crap on there with it, and voila- salad. Lazy. Or at least this particular version of it was. It was a cross-section of a head of lettuce that I would definitely have passed over if I saw it in the grocery store. They sprinkled a handful of hard-boiled egg on it (GROSS!) and some bacon. If I had been warned that the side salad was this, I'd have seen in the description, and asked for no eggs, or yet, forgone the salad completely. So I was disappointed, it took me a while to scrape all the gross bits of egg out, which slowed me down in eating. Someone dropped off my main entree, the "spicy BBQ chicken wrap" next to me and all she said was "Okay." Uhm, what? I barely realized that food was for me. If someone had been sitting next to me, I definitely wouldn't have realized it was mine. So on to the entree. So, I named it above and I put it in quotations- because really, there was nothing spicy about it. "Spicy" was what drew me in! Okay, so there was also supposed to be avocado in it. I didn't see or taste any avocado. Disappointing. The wrap was tasty enough, but nothing special. Honestly, the highlight of my meal was the sweet potato fries that probably were frozen in a bag from Sysco. I actually was so annoyed by the end of my meal that I didn't even finish my beer because I was ready to get the hell out of there. My check for this debacle totaled over $20 for one person. Decent, but not for what I got. I might give this place another try, but probably only for drinks. And only if I wanted a beer, because I imagine I can get a better cocktail somewhere else down the street. read more

My step-mother was in town and invited me out for lunch and drinks at the OB and I was excited because I'd never eaten there. I was disappointed. My step-mom ordered a margarita which was about the smallest I'd ever seen and served in a martini glass and overpriced for what it was. Her friend ordered white wine in a red wine glass and the waitress seemed VERY inconvenienced. In fact, the waitress seemed very inconvenienced the entire time we were there. She was abrupt and borderline rude, and by the time I was actually able to order and get my food, she made me feel like it was a complete mistake to even think about eating there. The Chicken Caesar Salad I had was actually very good, but not worth putting up with a pissy waitress. read more

I've been to Old Broadway a few times and have always enjoyed it. The place isn't as high class as it wants to be, so once you get past that, the food is pretty tasty and the service is nice. I never went to Old Broadway back in Christopher's time, so I don't know what the dance club part was like. Half of the place is still that dance club / bar from what I can tell, but that doesn't intrude on your experience in the restaurant. read more

Old Broadway continues to pleasantly surprise me. The service is great and I love the layout and decor. I can have a private conversation over dinner in a comfy booth, which is different from most restaurants downtown that have the open-floor plan. When it comes to the food, I always leave happy and sated, without gut bomb. I appreciate their healthy dishes with large sides of vegetables. I give the O.B. five stars because it has the walleye filet I've been searching for in the Fargo-Moorhead area. It's a nice, thick cut with excellent seasoning, without being spicy. Really terrific. Another great choice is the rueben; excellent brisket. This place is very underrated and has become a go-to, especially when I want a satisfying, filling and decently priced weekday meal. read more

Low carb salmon very flavorful with a nice Dillinger sauce. Tator tots that have been souped up with bacon and cheese are so good, regular tots become banal. The salad with strawberries can be saved with extra dressing. Our new favorite place in downtown Fargo-Moorhead! read more

What a great place!!! The decor is pretty cool, the service was very good and super friendly. Now the food...the infusion tuna is mind blowing! The flavor keeps coming and coming. Also the Reuben was so flavorful and tender...maybe the best Reuben I've ever eaten. Great place!!!! Keep up the great job. read more

The shots and drinks are watered down, it takes a while to get service, Dj plays same old crappy songs and top 40 and when people are not dancing he plays Cupid Shuffle without fail to bring ppl to dancefloor, dance floor is small and crowded, and for some reason everyone brings their drinks on the floor to spill it on themselves and people around them .. the only time i recommend you to go is on FRI 7-9 for pay the day when you pay the date amount in cents for a glass of beer and SAT 7-9 for 50 cent pints and dont have the long island even though its 50 cents .. its watered down.. after 9 get the hell out of there read more

Literally. The worst bartender service I've ever had. Bartender with long hair on may 14th 2016 at the sports book bar that connects to the dance floor was blatantly rude to multiple customers before me. He shouted at one guy 'you have to speak up' after he got his drink order wrong. After a 10 minute wait to get a drink at a not busy in the first place bar - he helped me. When he gave me my drink I pointed to the two guys next to me since they were waiting longer than me and said 'when you are done I know these guys have been waiting even longer than me." He said 'I'm sorry are you the bartender?' With a super sarcastic tone. I run a retail store. I have never seen someone in a customer service position just blatantly say whatever crosses their mind. I told him I felt like he was rude and that was uncalled for. Bartender number 2 chimed in. He said he would kick me out if I said anything else. Worst customer service ever. Bartender seemed overwhelmed and stressed out. I wasn't 'raising hell' I was sticking up for myself and others that were waiting way longer than needed. The bartenders made me want to never come back to ob again. Sad day. Bartenders are not prepared. Not ready. Don't care about customer service at all. Made me feel like the bad guy for asking that someone beside me get helped before other people that just got there. Ps: telling the customers that tip and are patient that you want to kick them out: not a great business practice. read more

Regarding the Sports Zone, this was our go to place to eat until the last couple of visits. Our waitresses have been less than attentive. One night we came for the steak special, as we also wanted to partake in the drink special happening in the club section, so we didn't have much time before hand. Our waitress could be found most of the time at the table full of boys taking selfies with them (I know for a fact as one of my other friends who weren't there received a couple of them during our meal) or back in the kitchen for long periods of time. We eventually went to the bar to ask for our bill. Suffice to say we didn't leave the best tips. The next week we came back for the wing special. We weren't asked if we wanted drinks(we did). Just given two waters, she came back and took our orders (the food was pretty delicious), filled our water glasses, and brought us our tabs. We were not asked if we wanted anything else (we did). She also did not thank us for coming. We left no tip that day and have not been back. We also don't intend to go back for awhile. We were told by another party we were treated like this because one person in the party doesn't tip well. We would tip better for better service. I'm sorry that the servers feel this way about us now, as it is very good food, but I am not going to tip money I earned to be ignored. We do eventually plan to come back and give it another shot, just not for a long long while. read more

I love Old Broadway and under Yelp ratings it meets the "Yay! I am a fan" criterion. As a sports bar, OB is a 5 all the way. I've only been in Fargo during summer, but I would love to come back one weekend to see a football game in the Fargodome and watch a Vikings game at the OB, I am sure it is a blast. If you are looking for a fun place to hang, throw back a few brews, chat with friendly locals and just have fun in general, OB is hard to beat. read more

A+ everything. I'd be wasting your time with a review. Just perfect all the way across. Well. One folie... No espresso after a FANTASTIC meal and dessert. Other than that PERFECT. read more

My favorite place and has been for years. Food is usually good, the drinks and atmosphere is always great. looking so forward to getting back there after Covid. read more

Stopped for lunch today with coworkers. Was seated quickly and our orders were taken quickly as well. However, after we were given our drinks, we didn't get anything else. Our lunch break was nearly over and we inquired about the status of food, who said it'd be a few more minutes. We'd been there over 45 minutes at that point. We got our checks and paid, and it'd been nearly an hour and still no food. We'd asked for it to go, and asked why it had taken so long. A manager said our waiter hadn't put our orders in right away, and argued that we hadn't waited nearly as long as we had, and that they'd gotten our food ready in 30 minutes. That may be so, but when you have the constraints of a lunch break, that's not a consolation. Regardless, no one took ownership of the situation or apologized for our delay. Which is unfortunate, as the menu does have a wide variety for a downtown establishment. read more

Dirty trick up their sleeve. Customers read the fine print. Sandwiches do not come with sides, and when they ask if you want french fries or sweet potato fries, they do NOT tell you the sides are extra! $3 for regular shoe string fries that has more flavor at McDonalds! My pasta dish was great, but not worth the cost as the bread served with it was like eating an old shoe. Never coming here again, which is a shame because I had loved the decor and style. read more

I used to go there for steak it was very good with the green beans but the last time I was there it's turned into a beer pub so we won't be going to the old Broadway anymore it's not worth it you can get the same food at any bar read more

I manage a restaurant so it is damn hard to impress me, but the OB did the job!! Went here for an engagement dinner on Saturday night. We were a group of 20. They were easily able to accommodate our group. Our server was amazing. She made NO mistakes, kept our drinks full and our table clean. The food was AMAZING!! Smothered mushrooms and salmon cakes, in case you need a recommendation. The decor was awesome. I loved all of the different lighting fixtures. The bathrooms were ultra private (with separate 'rooms' for the toilets even!). The mojitos were delicious! My only two complaints are that it was very dark in the dining room, and it is a little pricey. I cannot wait to go back!! read more

Well....the atmosphere is perfect. Comfortable. Homey. Pleasant. Drinks are good! Food???well not so pleased. The fries (chips) overwhelmed the plate. Fish were 4 - 2 bite pieces. They were good but really felt shorted on plate. Fries weren't hot...warm at best. Not worth the 12 bucks in my mind. Beer cheese soup was good but to a light beer drinker beware. It is a heavy or dark ale and won't be for everyone. Happy hour would be best for us if we try food again. However, I do suggest to go and experience it yourself! read more

I've heard of watering down alcohol but these guys take it to a whole new level. I spent over $50 and drank for two hours and didn't get much of an effect at all. At any honest bar I'd have been pretty lit up. So if you drink mixed drinks don't go to the old broadway. read more

A little crowded during peak hours on the weekends. Good drink specials from 8-11 Friday and Saturdays. Shots are kind of weak but what do you expect for 2 dollars. read more

I do like eating at the ob grill and the sports area is pretty cool for Sunday football/baseball games, but don't go into the dance area on a saturday night unless you want to get groped by a bunch of unwanted strangers! just saying! read more

Probably a 3.5 of 5. The food is mediocre but the menu has a good variety and the staff is friendly. We have never eaten anywhere but at the bar, so I am not sure about service in a booth. read more
