    Strangely enough this is our go to spot for the best Cosmopolitan in the absolute free world. With…read moreone caveat: Shane is the man to see. Sit at the bar to have him serve you. The menu is straightforward Applebee's! But if it's a mixologist you are after, and you are in Minot, ND - Shane is the only guy you should go see!!

    Food 2 Service 1…read morePrice 3 But the sangria was decent... New Year's Eve, 630ish as a party of 5. We had called ahead and were advised to come as walk ins as it wasn't very busy. We were seated rather quickly and given menus / asked for drink orders that's where the positives end. The drinks came 20min later (650) & the gal still wasn't ready to take our food order. About 10min after delivering drinks (7), our food order was taken. Now, I know this isn't fast food but it isn't a scratch kitchen either. I've no doubt staff had called in/taken off with it being NYE. Still, it was over half an hour before the food came out (745)- of course drinks were gone by now. One patron asked for water. It came with the rcpt an hour later. We had braced ourselves for the worst after watching 2 other tables return food & seeing who I presume was a manager come offer to make things right for another table, with the patron having refused the food/replacement. I had the chicken wonton tacos app, that was ok. My hubs ordered the fiesta chicken and it was inedible. I'd guess it had been sitting there since before we arrived. The rice was dry & crunchy, yes, rice that you could hear the crunch from. The dish was also at room temperature. We attempted to flag down the server for our bill right at 8pm (we had a 9pm event, which is why I was watching the time). She said she'd be there in a moment then cleared 2 tables and disappeared in the back. At 815, she came back to the table - I just handed over the credit card and advised we were ready to pay. (We had not complained, we didn't send anything back. We really just wanted to go at this point.) She placed the card on the table and said she'd be back with the bill. It was now 830 and we were starting to get pretty annoyed. This is about when she showed up with the bill, laid it next to the card and started to leave. I said "hold up" and handed the card/bill to her stating that we were ready to pay. She hesitantly accepted the bill and card, then went to clear a table, instead of to the till. She stopped by and dropped off the requested water. We were laughing in awe at this point. 855pm... it was 855pm when she brought the card back. It was steady, but not crazy busy. I cannot fathom how it took 630-9pm, 2.5hrs to eat at a fast casual restaurant. One round of drinks & one order of food, which was old & crusty - plus, we were ready to order on arrival. We thought we were going to need to kill time, as we thought we would be too early for our 9pm event with 630pm dining - instead, we were over 15min late to arrive... sigh
