The owner was happy and helpful, and I could tell that she was working her butt off! -Unlimited toppings. What?! -Unique flavors. My husband and I shared the flavor, "Big Muddy" which was chocolate overload. It was really yummy! There are lots of cool flavors, and the owner told us that she takes requests for ordering new ice cream flavors and toppings. -Free arcade games. So cool that they don't make you pay to play them! Here's what could be improved: -The space felt a little dingy. It still has cool seating and a unique feel, though, so don't let that deter you from coming here! -There were two sizes of cups sitting on the counter, but when I told the owner I wanted the small size, she said they don't sell that size. I was confused why they had that size of cup sitting out if they wouldn't sell it. Oh well! Magic City Sweets seems like the kind of place I wish existed when I was younger! It has such a cool feel that's unique to Minot, and the service couldn't be better. Go give it a try! And don't forget to try the Big Muddy flavor. (;

We walked in &, apparently, all walkers had the same lost look, as we were pointed in a direction with a "the pizza is that way" by a very pleasant gal. We found the staircase,(guys, I know... yes, the idea of free pizza had us in a strange place taking a staircase to who knows where/what), and popped out by an order counter that very much resembled a bar for kids. I was very impressed with the way staff interacted with the kids bellied up. If you have kids definitely worth the visit. If you don't have kids, still worth a pop-in! Oh, the pizza turned out to be from domino's & was, in fact, a lure to get people in to check them out - brilliant!

We're an interracial family and I def don't think the locals were treated with the same disdain. Skip this place if you're diverse. The bad service was not worth it. Food was mediocre at best, hard to mess up breakfast.

The 10 year old was thrilled to be able to get plain buttered noodles and a Caesar salad, but also sampled pizza and the appetizer, as did the 7 year old who had spaghetti and meatballs.

The calamari was pretty good, but I don't recommend the spinach and artichoke dip. It was kind of just like spinach pesto and the bread was way to buttery. The complimentary bread basket + olive oil is really yummy though!! I had the portobello mushroom ravioli, which was also pretty good but really buttery (all the butter was kinda yummy tho ngl). My boyfriend didn't really enjoy his chicken parm, but my mom loved the buffalo chicken wrap! Overall, food is pretty okay, but definitely above average for a hotel. I think it sort of depends on what you get. The place is kind of poorly run but that's not the staff's fault at all; they're all really great and doing their best.
