I've heard the Cajun chicken Alfredo is good but I haven't tried it yet. My favorite by far is the deep dish pizza; especially the Supreme. I've had it 3-4 times now and each time I think, oh my this is good. The new addition (which is now the bar part) and the remodel of the old bar into the restaurant space, turned out great. The bar is very nice with a bunch of huge TVs and a seating mix of booths/high tables/bar. I'm not into video gambling but they have several of those machines.

They have 16 beers on tap, and 8 of them were different versions of Budweiser. Damn they like their Budweiser out here. I just can't drink it. Call me a beer snob, but I refuse to drink piss water. They have the typical bar food here, and all pretty decent. Nothing to phone home about though. But when you're hungry and need a nice cold beer, this place will hit the spot. They also have some live music on some nights and I remember singing along to some old Neil Diamond's song. The outdoor seating is nice and when the weather cooperates, I suggest sitting outside. It just almost feels like home...

Varsity Ice House is officially one of our new go-to spots in Grand Forks!…read more We stopped in on a whim and were seriously impressed. The Bacon Cheeseburger was solid--thick-cut bacon, juicy patty, exactly what you want when you're craving a classic. The sweet potato fries were on point, and the queso fries were dangerously good. One of our favorites of the night was the Firecracker Shrimp--mildly spicy, super flavorful, and honestly way better than we expected from bar food. The whole place has a chill, fun atmosphere, the kind of bar you settle into without even trying. The table next to us ordered wings and they looked incredible... so yes, we're already planning our return trip just for those. Shoutout to Jacob, who closed us out and made sure everything was exactly to our liking. Great service on top of great food = winning combo. Can't wait to go back!

The crowd was mostly younger, but it felt like everyone was comfortable and just there to have a good time. We ordered a pizza and jalapeño poppers. The poppers were a miss, there were not many, and the flavor just was not great. The pizza though was solid, and their Friday deal for an extra large at 14 dollars was a nice surprise. They also have a good selection of beers and mixed drinks. Service was rough at first. Our server forgot our ranch and drinks a couple of times, but once another server jumped in to help, things got better. If you are looking for a laid back dive bar with decent food and cheap pizza deals, Joe Blacks is not bad especially if you are already in the area for a game.

When you get there, it's a small bar/restaurant and you have to be 21+ to get in. Once we got in, we waited for a long time too to be seated since it was packed and not much seating to begin with in the first place. We put our name on the whiteboard and waited and grabbed a beer. While we were waiting, they have some slot machines and a blackjack table that you can play and kill some time, but even the blackjack table was full so I didnt bother. We were about to leave after waiting for about an hour but then some spaces at the bar opened up and we ended up taking those seats. I ordered the wings in their SHARK STYLE sauce and it was really good. you can choose how spicy you want them. I ordered 10 spice, but next time i'm going to do 12, because 10 isn't really spice at all. I also had a side of fried okra which was good too, because it tasted like it was fresh cut okra and not frozen and fried. I would definitely come back, just hope the wait isn't as long.

It's a dive bar, so I'm not expecting grade A, but have the list available to people. Odd there was a bouncer at the door. Like it's a restaurant. Must get rowdy?? I don't know. It was Saturday at 7pm when we were there, nothing out of the ordinary. Now, this is not our first time eating here. We are from out of town and probably make it to grand forks once a year maybe. The first time we had wings here, out of this world!! This time...soup master zero. Absolutely drowning in sauce. And they were 5000 degrees, so too hot to eat and handle. By the time we were able to eat them, soggy. The wings themselves also, in our humble opinion too big. The drummies where huge!! I dont like them that big, again just adds to the texture problem. We got traditional buffalo level 15. Flavor was excellent and heat was nice and hot, but not challenging. Also got the peanut butter. Fun!! And the jelly side dip was an excellent pairing. Wouldn't want more than 6, honestly 3 would be good as a fun little novelty. The deep fried okra was a hard pass. Bland, soggy, stupid. Don't bother.

I had a coffee that was empty and at edge of table since before the meal arrived and was never offered a refill and when I asked, it never came. We had sat on the bar side as someone in the group had wanted a Ceaser but we couldn't order this from the other side and I sure wish we could have been maybe the servers are better on the restaurant side. After having the drink made horribly twice, I'm not someone that drinks them but it smelled like a marinating steak it had some much Worcestershire sauce and can't imagine that's what it's supposed to be smell like, I really wished we had sat on other side as she then just had water but yet we were still expected to pay for these drinks. When asked if they could be taken off, we were told that since they remade it and made 2 drinks, they would need to charge us for it. So because they messed up twice, we had to pay for it. The worst part of the experience was then the other waitress decided it was appropriate to chime in from across the bar in front of everyone asking why we ordered so many not expecting to pay for them, while there was only 15-20 people in the restaurant, this is wildly unprofessional and made for a very terrible end to already unpleasant experience. I would have been happy to pay for the drink had it not taste like pure steak marinate. You would think as an obvious career waitress who will never be qualified to do much more would have some customer service skill but apparently she's not really qualified for this either

I found the condiments and a knife but could not find a fork. By the time I got silverware my meal was cold. Mind you I was sitting right at the bar, not off in a corner. I asked if I could receive a hot meal. Jen was not happy and on her way to the kitchen kicked the aluminum swinging doors. As I was talking to the customer next to me and telling them of the situation, she yells across the bar,"you have silverware NOW!" Not a relaxing atmosphere. The steak was way overcooked. I ordered it medium and it was delivered with zero pink in the middle. Very disappointing visit.

The place seems ideal for larger groups watching sports tbh, screens everywhere, lively open room, etc. Listen, is this some romantic dinner or high end steakhouse? Not in my opinion. But it does deliver on the classics with an unassuming vibe.

This review is for the location in Steinbach. 65 PTH #12N…read moreSteinbach, MB We arrived for lunch and it was quite busy, but because we only had three people we were able to get in quite quickly. The staff are all very friendly and helpful. I couldn't decide between the hamburger and the chicken club. I really love the clubhouse sandwiches at Garwood Grill and Roxies and was hoping for some of the same here. Unfortunately, their version of a chicken club is just a regular chicken sandwich with bacon and tomato added. On top of that, my chicken was burned and the burned parts were quite tough. I did not want to complain and have to wait for another chicken sandwich though. The fries were OK but as we got close to the bottom, they seem to get tough and grainy. It is a little difficult to explain. Their onion rings as an appetizer were absolutely fantastic. The buffalo chicken sandwich was OK. The hamburger was decent. This is kind of like a sports bar feel and they had large TV setups. It is a very open restaurant so there was a relatively loud background noise, but otherwise OK. While the service was very good , the food was basically average for the main meals. Overall, not really worth the cost for me.
