Avocado Burger
James V.

Delightfully dated/retro decor and a fun menu make Pounds a must-visit next time you're in Fargo.

The Grail
Lilly H.

Tried this place out for the first time and it was so good! Super cute inside and delicious food! I was recommended Pounds from a local who raved about it. The burger may look messy but it was delicious ate it up in no time. Service was good, friendly and food came out very quickly.

Chicken club.
Rod S.

I really was expecting more. Nothing bad to say but every other triple d place we have visited left a better impression. Had the club and the ladies split a chicken strip basket. Also had the pulled chicken mac and cheese. Really just average. The sauces were excellent though.

The Grail burger & Torch sauce
Wendy H.

I always go for the grail with a side of torch sauce. 10/10 would recommend if you want a good burger in the area.

Two gray, waaaaay overcooked patties that tastes like school lunch. Extremely disappointing.
Jeni S.

Only thing that saved this was the truffle fries... although they forgot them in the first place. Worst burger in Fargo.

Can't remember which burger this was but it was good - skip the Mac n cheese!
Val T.

Solid burger, good ambiance, friendly staff and amazing selection of hot sauces! The sides just aren't it though. Mac n cheese is like rubbery and dry. The sweet potato fries were deflated and flavorless.

By far my favorite restaurant in Fargo, ND! I've been eating here for several years now. It started in college, I'd go and do homework on the weekends. Now, graduated and in their new location, my love is still there. I'm not sure what I love more, the food, the drinks, or all the plants. Being able to eat with the bright windows and succulents surrounding me is so amazing. I love all their different dipping sauces and burgers the most. Please try the Big Mac n' Chz burger with jalapeño cheddar ranch for your fries. There will be no regrets. I of course love the servers. Some are still there from my college days and they always welcome me and my friends

Came here to meet an old friend, no idea what to expect... and WOW. This place is so bougie and cute! Lots of cool decals and props and decor that really completes the space. The cool part is on the far wall, the window tiles reflect the light as the train drives by! Got seated almost immediately, and server came over plenty of times, just forgetting one water. 10/10 service, was kind, great customer service, and quick. The menu is found on the barcode labeled "food and dranks". Menu is easy to navigate online and had a LOT of good items I wanted to try, but I couldn't try them all! I ordered the loaded chicken bacon ranch mac & cheese. I didn't know what to expect when ordering ranch on cheesy noodles, and it honestly wasn't my favorite, but I have so many other things to try that I could like better. My friend liked her food, only complaint was the parmesan made the noodles seem extra salty. our chicken was cooked to perfection, and burger was delicious. Cardboard packaging and electronic payment machines. Will be back!!

Vegetarian Californication Burger
Emma B.

Wow this place was SUCH a good vibe! We both subbed impossible patties to make our burgers vegetarian and they were delicious. Really liked the Dr Pepper Bbq sauce and will look forward to trying more of their variety of sauces in the future! Service was quick and friendly. Music was good too !!

Pounds is officially one of my favorite places in Fargo. It's really a foodie's dream- if you love fun food in an aesthetic, vibing atmosphere! I had to come check it out after I had seen so many people I knew go, and then freaking Guy Fieri went for DDD. Drinks-- fabulous! Food-- very good! Inside setup-- YES! They even have adorable colored picnic tables outside so you can sit with some fresh air or bring your doggo along. Another thing, is that from the name 'Pounds' I thought they'd mainly be a burger and beer place, or kind of just your typical American grub. But their menu has so much more than that- wings, burgers (of course), chicken sandwiches, vegan bowls, a ridiculous variety of mac n cheeses, and I'm sure I left something else out. So there's a lot more than meets the eye! Really, I am so impressed that Pounds is in a place like Fargo, it feels like a place that should be in a big city where there's tons of little diners and similar places that have their own charm and fun. Pounds is ahead of the times, man. Respect!

good food!!

I was in Fargo just for a day and stopped here to get breakfast before starting the next leg of my…read moreroad trip. Pulling into thr parking lot and seeing it full made me feel like I was on to something good! You walk in to a small shelf with these gargantuan cinnamon rolls on display that I'm sure double as a pillow for when you eat the first one. Pro tip, Buy TWO!!! We were greeted and seated promptly and our drinks came out quickly. Our server was by soon after to take our orders. She did an excellent job and had a warm personality I hope to see so far up north! Being from a more southern state I found it interesting to see a "taco omelette" on the menu and almost didn't order it but I had to try! It was a fun change of pace and hit the spot. It's not gonna be go to item for me but it's always cool to try new things . It was delicious and chocked full of ground beef!! I enjoyed it with a dab of sour cream. Wifey enjoyed her eggs Benny and the kiddo had a pretty epic looking waffle. For two bucks you get all the cool whipped cream and strawberry compote!! Overall an excellent experience and it's easy to see the locals love it!!

Came here while we were visiting for a gymnastics competition…read more This is a cute local spot that gets pretty busy. Service was not super excellent, but it wasn't bad either. I got the 1/2 sandwich (BLT) and a cup of chili. When it arrived it came with half a grilled cheese sandwich instead. But I ended up giving it to my daughter because she ordered the adult portion grilled cheese, but I think our server misunderstood and ordered her a kids grilled cheese which came with only one half rather than two halves. The BLT was delicious and fresh tasting. I'm a fan of chili, I like it with and without beans. So if you don't care for beans, then this chili isn't for you. It wasn't spicy, but it was filled with meat and beans. It was pretty good! Overall, this is a decent place. Price is good. Portion is good for the cost.

An update to my 2024 review, as they have a new location and expanded menu options. I stopped in…read morelast week for breakfast and for this visit (more visits to come for sure) I had the Prime Rib Brekkie sandwich with a side of fruit. It was was even better than I imagined - one of those meals where after your first bite, you pause and say OMG to yourself. My wife had the Richard's Special. She selected regular cut bacon over thick cut, and also choose the cheesy hashbrowns as the potato option. I don't recall which bread she chose. She said it all tasted great, and had me taste the potatoes, but between the bacon & potatoes, it was on the greasier side (in case you are sensitive to that). I look forward to trying the Salmon Omelette, Beignets, Biscuits & Gravy and stuffed bagel for breakfast. Then several items from the lunch side.

I'm obsessed with the vibes, very whimsical/hippie cute, dark colors with big windows. My friend…read moreand I had a girls lunch and we sat by the window and it just felt you were in a city, which is so nice! The lunch/brunch menu had a lot of great choices. I went with the avocado toast (not pictured as it was already gone ) and fruit (pictured). I was very excited that the fruit did not contain cantaloupe or honeydew. My friend got the Fargo special (pictured) which was 10/10, had the perfect crispiness on the bread and the taste was great. All in all, I suggest supporting this downtown eatery!

The ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender and definitely a highlight. My son ordered the Cajun shrimp pasta and really enjoyed it too.

This time around was better, they had an impossible burger, a really nice sounding salad and a "bowl", plus apps. Always wish for a place with some thing special like a good black bean burger or veggie burger, but beggars cant be choosers. The bun and the topping for their burgers were very good, which makes a difference with an impossible burger. The fries were "meh", but the cauliflower hot wings were quite good (not more than once have I been to a restaurant that messes those up). Service was quite good and attentive. Drink menu had some unique options too.
