The service was excellent and our food came out quickly. The ambulance is relaxed and it felt really inviting. We got the bruschetta to share. My husband ordered the filet mignon and got a glass of wine. I ordered the shrimp cocktail. Everything was amazing! Highly recommend to all! We will definitely be back!

It was rather cold when we visited, so, everyone was indoors, but it looks like there's a nice patio out back as well The menu isn't massive, but there are plenty of offerings and something for everyone The staff is very helpful and accommodating. We got our food in a timely manner, and we had to discuss work for a bit, and loitered a bit after we finished our food, but the staff was very kind about everything The food was pretty good, and the prices weren't terrible. I wish the drink menu also included prices Some tips: The pizzas are good, but they're full size pizzas, so, consider sharing. If you're a ranch fan, ask for a side or two with your pizza as it is a nice touch Cheers!!

Ate dinner there for the first time last night and the ambience itself was great! However, there…read morewas only one table in the place so I kindly asked if they were still serving. Being in the industry for over 20 years, to my surprise the bartender said "let me ask the kitchen, we close in 45 minutes.!' 45 minutes to close shouldn't even be a question to ask the kitchen. Then she came out and said they were still serving and takes off. So we are looking for a place to sit and she says' you can't sit there, there are no servers.' Ok so maybe you should have sat us after you told us you were still serving 45 minutes to close. The service just progressed to get worse. The food itself was pretty good but the portions were ridiculously small. Only one side with main dish and my date ordered the duck and got literally 4 small bite size pieces of meat, $32. My halibut was also very skimpy and the Brussels sprouts were burnt, $38. Not once did the server even come back to ask how the food was or I would have had her get me a different side. I wish I would have taken a picture of the food. The food itself was good, minus burnt Brussels sprouts but it's a good thing we got an appetizer too or we would have still been hungry. The server is lucky my date left 20 because I said to leave 10 and I don't even know if that was deserved. I am in the industry and we always overtip but not in this case when it's more than obvious the server doesn't even want to be there. So all in all it was not a good experience. Overpriced for the portion of food and the service was awful.

H&M's Steakhouse -- A True Five-Star Experience in Watford City…read more Living in Watford City, North Dakota, you sometimes come to expect restaurants to be inconsistent -- service can be inexperienced, food overpriced or overcooked, and timing hit or miss. H&M's Steakhouse is the complete opposite. From the moment you walk in, the service is warm, attentive, and professional. Glasses stay full, staff are welcoming, and your food arrives quickly without sacrificing quality. I've eaten here since they first opened, and to this day I have never left disappointed. The steaks are exceptional -- true top-quality cuts, hand selected, perfectly seasoned, and flame grilled exactly the way a steak should be. In my opinion, these are the best steaks in North Dakota, and I would confidently put them up against Ruth's Chris Steak House any day of the week. The rest of the menu is just as impressive. The HM Pasta will feed a grown man for two days, the sides are generous, and if the baby carrots are on the menu, order them. The desserts are homemade and outstanding -- the crème brûlée is one of my favorites. What truly separates H&M from other restaurants is the ownership. The owners are heavily involved, often cooking the steaks themselves because they genuinely care about quality and consistency. In a town where restaurants sometimes run out of basics, H&M somehow always has the full menu available and ready to go. Another rare quality is how much they value customer feedback. The owners personally address concerns and truly care about the customer experience. And I would be remiss not to mention BJ -- hands down the best waitress in McKenzie County. If you're lucky enough to get her as your server, your evening will be warm, fun, and incredibly attentive. Whether it's a client dinner, large gathering, date night, or takeout, H&M consistently delivers excellent food that is professionally prepared and beautifully plated. My recommendation: Start with the huge shrimp cocktail, order your favorite cut of steak -- the filets, bone-in ribeyes, and New York strips are all outstanding -- add mushrooms, grilled jalapeños, and definitely the baby carrots. Pair it with a glass of wine or cocktail and finish with one of the homemade desserts. Watford City is fortunate to have a restaurant like H&M's Steakhouse. Once you eat here, there's a good chance you won't want to go anywhere else for steak again.

These are smash burgers, so, if you see "double patty" or if it looks overwhelming, it's not as intense as it may sound. That being said, these burgers are hearty and flavorful The fries are made in-house. If you are familiar with in-n-out fries, they are very similar. You can order fries with garlic Parmesan on top or Cajun seasoning. They also have homemade chips (potato chips) that pair really well with your beer and burger. There are a variety of dipping sauces like jalapeño ranch and beer cheese that are worth ordering This spot also specializes in beers. There's a digital menu that provides a beer list, prices, styles, origins, etc. This list also shows which beers are most popular When you're finished eat, take a stroll through lovely downtown Watford City Some tips: You can ask your server for a taste or a beer you want to try before making your decision. And if you want to try a variety of beers they have pre-built flights or custom flights to choose from. The burgers don't come with a side of fries, so, consider ordering a couple fries or chips for the table to share Cheers!!

Went on a Wednesday evening after a day at the national park, sat at the bar. The biggest letdown was them telling me, no steaks and no burgers, which was a big bummer. I didn't order any alcohol because I'm not a big drinker and wanted to hydrate and the bartenders/server almost seemed annoyed. I ordered the special, bbq pork sliders and fries. They were just okay. Fries were the best part. The sliders though, bun was nice and toasty but it came with cheese and for me, bbq pork with a slice of cheese just doesn't do it for me. I wish I had known it was served with cheese. The bbq pork was meh. Kind of tasted like the stuff you buy at the store in the meat section and reheat if I'm being honest. If you want an easy convenient place, this might be it. Otherwise, nothing to get excited about.

There's also an extensive drink list to choose from The interior has a bar and a dining area. The dining area has out law/western style decor and is a fun vibe They offer complimentary bread and a cinnamon butter that is reminiscent of Texas Roadhouse, but I honestly think this butter is better. The odd thing is we were given the bread almost 30min into us being seated at the table The food was tasty. The chicken fried steak had the option for brown vs white gravy, and they even had colorful heirloom carrots as a side The service could have been better. We waited an hour or more to get our food. Again, the bread came out 30-40min into this wait. Our server never came out to apologize or give updates and after an hour we had to flag down another server to get a status. When we were seated every single one of the booths was empty, and we sat there and watched every single booth fill up, get their food, and leave before we got ours. 4/5 meals came out and one of our group was told "we accidentally made a chicken fried chicken instead of a chicken fried steak, and they're making it now." The rest of us awkwardly waited for 5-10min and decided we didn't want our meals to get too cold. It took at least 15min or more for him to get his meal. Also, I ordered a cocktail and when I was asked if I wanted another I said "maybe in a little bit," and then my server brought another Some tips: They do not have a happy hour menu. Apparently they used to, but they did away with it. Ask for some of their complementary bread and cinnamon butter. The loaded mash potatoes has a strange taste, so, you might want to avoid/substitue that Cheers!!

We ordered the giant pizza pretzel immediately & opted to wait to see just how big it was before choosing a meal. Well, it's "no meal needed even when sharing" big. In the words of my hubby, "this should come with a warning" - pro tip: add the cheese sauce along with the marinara. Yes, it costs extra & totally worth it. It's a soft bread-style pretzel, not the traditional style. Think traditional peperoni pizza shaped like a pretzel. It's tasty! Now, I've seen complaints about no house brews. There were 3 house brews on tap when we were in. I will say you had to look for it on the menu. It wasn't in your face visible on the menu. The hubs tried 2 and said they were ok. I had the Summit Oatmeal Stout and it was deliciously creamy. Stuffed beyond reason, we still ordered the pretzel bread pudding with ice-cream. I was already tapped out and this was another giant serving. He gave it his all but it was another DNF. All in all, service & the food were good & the house beer decent. While the prices seemed high, the portions were huge, making the price per pound reasonable, imo. On exit, the sofa in the den-style seating area caught my eye. I told the hubs to offer them $3k for it... upon reflecting, I'd bump up to $5k - swoon!

The moment you walk through the doors, you're welcomed with that classic small-town diner charm. The friendly crew of young ladies greet everyone with a warm "Hi!" and clearly know their regulars by heart. This time around, I was craving liver and onions, and Lonnie's delivered. Two perfectly cooked slices, tender, flavorful, and just the right balance between not too rare and not overdone. Served with hash browns, corn, and a warm roll, it made for the perfect comfort meal. Big thanks to Lonnie's for satisfying the craving with some seriously delicious liver and onions. If you're in town and craving a hearty, home-cooked meal, do yourself a favor and stop by Lonnie's. Highly recommended! .
