    You know what this is!
    Constantin M.

    Hey! I run my eye across the mercury and Ooooh, boy the Land O' Lakes is livin' down to its goose-bumpin' hyperboreals. Get the gloves on! Naw naw, you can't just hermit it up the entire time the leaves are off the trees, c'mon! I gotta place for you all to visit. I kinda gotta refer to it as a hidden secret, cuz in the laws of location, location, location, this little grub garage ain't exactly in the prime real estate. Half the place is blocked by a bridge and the other half is blocked by everything that ain't a bridge. So, you gotta dial in the perception to catch this place, especially since it has neighbors with more visible joints. But I gotta tell you, and you know I'll tell it straight that if you ain't ever seen this place or you keep forgettin' it's an option, it's worth punchin' the address into the ol' robot map. Lemme drop the mail stop right here: 1710 Center Ave E #138, Dilworth, MN. Now, I didn't come to ramble about a revolutionary new idea that some enterprisin' folk dreamed about after a solid pop fly to the nugget. Naw. This path is many traveled and well worn. Red Hen Taphouse is on the western outskirts of Dilworth on Hwy 10. There's a lot of stuff on Hwy 10, but if you don't wanna go all interstate, you can rely on Red Hen to do a solid job for you if you live east of the Red River. By my own admission, I belong to the "keep forgettin'" camp. Man, this place has weak visibility. But, if you got enough tire tread to navigate the frotage roads to get back there, I think you'll find a place itchin' to serve up some hot grub and cold drinks. I got me my teetotaller tea and Red Hen's mushroom and Swiss. My sidekick run up a tab on a tall glass and the Cajun chicken ranch hoagie. Both of these courses gave us a decent portion without bustin' up our gold reserves. But, I gotta be straight about a condition the ol' Hen is sufferin'. The kitchen doesn't know anything about seasoning up the ol' victuals. Now, for those fair-haired Europeans who live in the area and think a glass of ice water is too spicy, Red Hen might be a draw. But this ol' Slavic got expectations built right into my buds. I'm not gonna punch down over a little salt and pepper, but if y'all in the Red Hen kitchen skim over this unnecessarily overloaded dumpster of idioms, I'll break the important part off on its own right here: Learn to use salt and pepper. White granules is salt. Black granules is pepper. Use butter where you ain't usin' butter, and you are going to start slingin' some Michelin Star regalement. I got it locked down, so don't blink! The rest of you folks, give the ol' Hen a chance. We were given great service on our visit, and those ladies would sure like to keep the heat on while the sun is bouncin' off the ice sheet. Listen, it don't do anyone any good to have to struggle unnecessarily. If you gotta joint on the weekend that's gonna form a line, there's probably a seat at Red Hen waiting for a little cozy work. The tab don't getcha Presidents in a headlock, so peel off a couple extra notes and keep the Hen a-cluckin. Keep warm and keep bein' awesome!

    Fries were so salty that they were inedible
    M N.

    The fries were salted to the point they were inedible. They seemed to have been double fried and tasted burnt. We also requested some dipping sauces on the side which were forgotten in our to-go order. Also no napkins, which would have been nice due to the items being (expectedly) greasy. I ordered the turkey club which had good bread and fresh lettuce and tomatoes. I might go again in the future but I wouldn't order any fried items because they were so bad we couldn't eat them.

    Huge nachos!

    The Red Hen is tucked away along Hwy 10 on the border of Moorhead and Dilworth, in a strip mall. This is a nice addition for this area that currently does not have a ton of bar options in the vicinity. There is nothing fancy about the establishment and you kind of feel like you are in a strip mall bar, but that's not really a bad thing. It reminded me a little of a small town bar but not being old or divey. I'm a nachos guy, and after hearing about their nachos, I had to just try that as my meal. It is shocking how large the nachos are. They are prepared on a pizza pan that is probably at least a foot in diameter and the nachos stack up about 4-5 inches high. I knew I couldn't eat the whole thing myself but for as full as I was when I left, you could barely see a dent in the nachos. So if the $11.95 plus $2 more for a meat topping looks like a pricier appetizer here, keep in mind this will feed an army. Sandwiches come with chips but you can upgrade to waffle fries, onion rings or a salad for $1.50-$2. My wife opted for the waffle fries and you get plenty of those. Looking at other food coming out, I noticed many people getting the flatbreads that looked good. After seeing what I believe was the walleye sandwich, I think that is what I need to try next time. Also, they have a very good tap beer selection, probably about a dozen or more. Many of them are regional as well.

    The strip mall, in the Gateway Crossing area, where the Red Hen Taphouse is located.

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!!

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.

Tucked away in the heart of downtown Fargo, this place has such a captivating, vintage soul. It feels established, storied, and wonderfully lived-in truly a breath of fresh air for those who appreciate a restaurant with real character. The atmosphere is a delightful challenge in the best way possible; it's vibrant, bustling, and clearly the place to be. The service was absolutely top-tier both the chef and the waiter were remarkably attentive and made me feel completely looked after. I simply had to try their legendary Fried Cheesy Pickles. They are an absolute revelation! Wrapped in Havarti and an egg roll wrap, they have this almost "fruit-like" crispness and sweetness that makes them utterly addictive. I was also quite charmed by the Toasted Frog itself it really is the best in town. Full marks across the board! It's a quintessential Fargo experience, and I am already planning my next visit.
