Toasted Frog is our go to date night spot. It is 21+ which is nice! You can get items to go for the younger family members (we normally put the order in when our main meals arrive at the table) The margarita pizza is the best I've had in GF! Their fried pickles are the best!!! They have a great drink selection both alcoholic and NA. read more

Classy pub with delicious burgers and beer. As many reviews suggest, we added an order of the cheesy fried pickles. Service is great. It is requested that we wait to be seated, and we didn't wait long. We were noticed right away and given a table at a window. Ambiance is very nice. Giant exposed timbers can be seen along the ceiling, a giant glass wine vault is on display in the middle of the restaurant, tables and chairs are comfortable. Five stars for service and food. read more

The Toasted Frog - New American Near Me - Grand Forks, North Dakota

Upon arrival we were quickly seated, but not promptly waited on...the person seating us said they would be right back with waters and menus and never returned. We then had another person show up with menus and said he would return with waters...he did not. When he returned for our orders we asked about waters and he said he would get them after placing our drink orders. We placed our drink orders and he returned with waters and my wife's drink, but not mine as they ran out of an ingredient they made in-house I placed a new drink order and we placed our food orders. Our drinks the bittersweet symphony for myself and a n/a spicy paloma for my were delicious and refreshing. Our food arrived and my wife's fish special was spectacular. It was salmon with a miso glaze and it was just a flavor explosion in your mouth. I had the pasta special it was (mac and cheese) cavatappi noodles with pulled brisket on the top and it tasted delicious the brisket was succulent and the cheese sauce was rich and decadent. This place is a gem in the area and we'll worth the visit. My only complaints were the service was a little off(short-staffed?) and my pasta was overcooked(not mushy, but it missed al dente by a bit). read more

The Toasted Frog - Pizza - New American Near Me - Grand Forks, North Dakota

Most of the wall art are from local artists. Seems like a popular local spot. Order the fried mushroom, basil, garlic cheese dip, blackened fish tacos, scallops, less prosciutto, up charge to the truffle fries, large mixed green salad. $109.08 The dip is very cheesy and creamy and garlicky. The bowl looks deeper than it actually is, it's quite shallow. The scallops are nicely cooked, not loving either sauce with though. Has prosciutto on the scallops as well. The snow peas are nicely cooked, not the ends are quite hard to chew down, best to cut the ends off. The truffle fries are okay, not the best I have eaten, but my husband still gobbled them up, since he likes any fries. The fish tacos come deconstructed and are build your own. They were pretty decent, but my husband didn't love having to assemble his own tacos so much. Service from Casey was pretty good, minus the mistake of the prosciutto on my scallops. read more

Food was great but nothing super exciting. Price was on the higher side while portion was moderate. Cocktails are delicious

The Toasted Frog was an underwhelming experience for me and my family. We ordered the calamari, fried pickles, buffalo wings, tuna sandwich, and pizza. First off, for what the restaurant depicts itself to be the pricing did not seem appropriate. Is it a bar? Is it a pub? Why does a pizza cost 30 dollars ? The serving sizes were small which is alright if the food was good but it was very VERY bland. I get that it's the Midwest but all the items were lacking salt and seasonings. Our waiter was very kind though and the ambience in the restaurant is still OK. Unless some changes are made to some of the flavor profiles of the food I don't think I will go back again, which is a bummer because the presentation was pretty nice. read more

Atmosphere is always fun. The martinis are delicious. The food portions are small and sometimes plain like the rice.

Great service to guide through menu offerings. Chefs craft unique selections for a variety of great specials. Cool downtown ambiance and friendly staff. Enjoyable meal on a business trip. read more

Had a date night here on a Saturday with my wife. Elk Burger (mine) Burger was very good Fries too 4/5 Walleye Picatta (hers) She enjoyed it Loved the garlic mash 4.5/5 Shaggy Martini (hers) She found it refreshing and tropical 5/5 Old Fashioned (mine) Couldn't taste the whiskey or any of the ingredients for that matter. All I tasted was water. 0/5 Angels Envy neat (mine) Since I was disappointed with the old fashioned I just went with a reliable whiskey I like. 4/5 Flourless Chocolate Pudding Cake Sweet and chocolatey but you can taste that the cake is flourless. Leaves a chalky aftertaste. 3.5/5 Wait time Was told there was 10-15 minute wait time. I think we waited 10 overall. 5/5 Service The waiter was good and attentive. 4/5 Overall we'd definitely go again. Ambience was nice. read more

Just moved our boy to UND. First time in Grand Forks. My wife and I stunned on the Toasted Frog. There was a waitlist but completely worth the wait! We love spice and chose the Tuna Steak sandwich and Portobello Mushroom Philly. Solid Old Fashion t'boot! Can't wait to come back during hockey season! read more

While in town looking at the law school for my daughter we are here as one of the recommended spots. We were not disappointed. We started with the fried pickles and calamari. The fried pickles are absolutely delicious . I refrained but wanted to order another order of these. Cannot wait to come back when we move her in, in 3 weeks to have them again. The dipping sauce is amazing we used it for our fries too! The calamari was very good too. Then we had the mushroom & spinach Lavash and the prime rib sandwich. The crust on the lavash OMG was amazing and tasty. The prime rib sandwich was delicious too. Service was great and the restaurant decor has a good vibe. If you're in Grand Forks I highly recommend giving this place a try. We will be back in 3 weeks. Can't wait! read more

The food was OK, probably not worth the price. Crafty and interesting drinks, but as it turns out, there's a reason others don't mix certain ingredients together--some of them were yuck. Overall, I'd say it's a local landmark (the townfolk seem to love it), and I would go just for completions sake but there are other spots in town with better food. read more

We each had a different version of featured aquatic critters that came with steamed broccoli and our chosen starch of garlic and wasabi mashed potatoes. The service was excellent and attentive without being intrusive. We dined early, so it was easy to make conversation. The coffee with our shared molten chocolate dessert was outstanding. No complaints. read more

My favorite in Grand Forks! Nice ambience, delicious food, and great service. The egg white sour is pretty yummy! I had the blackened trout which was the special of the night and it did not disappoint! We went early on a Tuesday night and it was not too crowded but I've heard there could be a wait on the weekends. Street parking not too bad. They do not take reservations unless it's for a group of six or more. Will definitely be back next time I'm in town! read more

The only reason I gave it 4/5 is it was a little overpriced for the quality. That's it. Service was impeccable, the drinks that they boast about were absolutely worth boasting about, and the ambiance was fantastic. My partner got a pizza that was so so so very good, and I got their daily special (white fish, with asparagus and sweet potato fries). The fish both smelled and tasted fishy... I'm from the coast, so I know good fish from bad fish and I could absolutely smell the poor quality - not at all worth $45 for the plate. The sweet potato fries were perfect. Literally perfect. Sweet potato fries are really hard to get crispy without burning them and they made them so perfectly that I ate more of those than I did the overpriced fish. read more

My wife and I were visiting from out of town and found this place searching online as my wife needs to eat gluten free and they had a good variety for her. We were very happy with the selection, service and ambiance. The elk burger I had cooked rare and it was perfect. The side salad was abundant and flavorful. I loved the goat cheese so much. They have a great cocktail selection and of course we had to try the gluten free flourless chocolate cake, it was worth it! Really an excellent dinner. read more

The toasted frog is a dark ambiance eatery that sells delicious appetizers, attentive employees, and wonderful entrees.

Walleye with capers, green beans and garlic mashed potatoes was delicious. My waitress was extremely nice. I got there on Wednesday at 9pm an hour before they closed, it was not busy. Definitely will go again. read more

Truth be told, this is our favorite place for a night out. The ambiance is great for a special date or to just grab some appetizers. The menu is always changing with interesting options that won't disappoint. Lou is 'our guy' and a staple member of the staff - friendly, attentive and very knowledgeable. If you're in the Grand Forks or other North Dakota city that has a Toasted Frog, make sure you check it out. read more

I've been visiting Grand Forks for work a few times and I'm always not satisfied with the food. A coworker from ND continued to suggest I try this establishment. On my last day I tried and was 100% satisfied with everything about this place! I sat at the bar and ordered my food. The waitress / bartender was very nice and made great recommendations. It was along way from home and she was friendly and provided much hospitality. The food was very good, I felt like I was in Los Angeles. The ambiance was excellent and I'll definitely return to this restaurant for my next trip to Grand Forks! read more

The food at Toasted Frog was decent. We've been recommended them multiple times, so we decided to check them out. The food was good but I think, because of how much people hyped up Toasted Frog, that it didn't meet our expectations. We enjoyed our food and the service was good, but I don't think it was at a level where we'd add this to our list of go-to restaurants. I think you can still get a perfectly good meal from them, but I think there are other restaurants in town that give them a run for their money. I do want to give credit where credit is due and say that their lemon cake was fantastic and easily the best part of our meal. I would come back just for the lemon cake. The fried pickles were a really fun appetizer as well and worth trying out if you enjoy pickles. I got the lamb burger and really enjoyed it. I think lamb is a seriously underrated protein, so it was a treat to see it offered on the menu. I think the atmosphere is great for a night with friends downtown. They feature work from local artists that are available for purchase, which I thought was really neat. I think their selling point is that they have a great night-out atmosphere. read more

Our server seemed a little down at first and then he perked up. The food and service was great! Drinks were too!

I ordered takeout and finally found this place after detours led me astray - there is a lot of construction going on around the bridge! I had the scallops appetizer and the mixed greens salad with blue cheese dressing. Luckily I checked the bag before leaving because there weren't utensils in there! The hostess was sweet and ran to the restaurant next door to get a packet of utensils for me from them before I headed back out into the cold! Great service! The salad I ordered was as advertised in the menu, though for $10 it could really use a few more toppings like some nuts, seeds, or shredded cheese of some sort. The scallops were on the small side and a bit overcooked, but seasoned beautifully. I loved the garlic purree they sat atop and would gladly order them again if dining in. read more

We went here last night for a date night. We had about a 10 min wait which wasn't bad for a Saturday night during Easter weekend. I had the shaggy martini and it was so good! For my entree, I had the walleye with garlic mashed potatoes. Our server was cool. Only docked one star because my husband didn't like his old fashioned. read more

Great little place that a lot of the locals recommend. Fried pickles are a must try appetizer. Menu has good variety And the Martini menu has a lot of choices also. Shawn the Owner was working behind the bar. Down to earth guy that runs a real nice down to earth place. One of the highlights of our passing through Grand Forks. read more

Service is always great, and the food is even better. The wasabi mashed potatoes and fried pickles are always fantastic! Very warm and modern restaurant. Have never had a bad time here. read more

It was okay. Everyone locally REALLY hyped the place up... almost to a dizzying height. The actual experience was decent but not what I was expecting. Ambiance is great! That is the main redeeming factor. Service was also wonderful. Attentive, timely, happy. No complaints there. The food was the only real dull hue on an otherwise good night out. Steaks were mediocre and basically unseasoned. My strip had large portions of it that were fat that had not been rendered down at all. Appetizers were okay. Nothing to write home about and certainly not worthy of the astronomical accolades heaped on by seasoned locals. Overall, fine place to go and sit and have a meal. But don't confuse local exuberance for actual food creativity and delivery. read more

The Toasted Frog is a great place for friends to gather. As a bar serving food (21 and over) it's bartenders craft your drinks as the chef creates delicious eats from pizzas, sandwiches, outstanding entree's and a weekly fish, pasta, and meat specials while they last. Make sure to get reservations for 6 or more and enjoy your evening with the best wait staff in town. read more

We must have came at Abbas time because our service was soooo slow!!! The table next to us who got seated after us got their food before we got our appetizers! Come on man!! But despite that setback the food is good. I got the lamb burger and a side salad. My friend got an open face sandwich with pesto and she loved it. Definitely would make reservations because it fills up. It's one of the better restaurants in grand forks! Note they don't make reservations for under 6. Went back and the service is still slow. But maybe that's grand forks. I got the fish special - This had a nice blackened spice with mango salsa to offset the spice. But I liked it spicy! They let me get double broccolini as well! read more
