I have always had a good meal when I have been here. I love their omelets! It is nice to have a variety of choices when going out to eat.

Located in Lakota, N.D. right off of and visible from hwy 2 Sunlac inn Lakota is a very cool…read morehangout spot kind of easy to miss with our busy everyday lives. But it is a long brick building that was built in the 60's by locals and runs long way from East to West. It has two flag poles out front one with American flag and second with North Dakota flag, if you look you will find it located right East of Dollar General. I've previously was employed by the business almost a year ago its been already time sure does fly by when you're busy living. But like the first review states I agree with, you can not find any better food while I was employed there. They have some local competition now a days but I wish the best for everybody local to thrive. They do have 10 electronic pull-tab machines to play on but unfortunately do not any longer have the black jack available :( that table brought in a lot of business was sad to see it go. The newer staff (manager Marla, and possible assistant manager Calvin, bartender Tyler & Aaron, front desk Paul & Mark, & housekeepers Margie and family, plus cook Aj) are very sweet and friendly people. Always nice smiles and warm welcomes that makes you feel right at home! I myself no longer drink alcohol but do remember many many many good memories in this building and will never forget the friendships I have made along the way. It's a 3 in 1 business, it is a motel/cafē/bar all in one. It's the perfect hide out/getaway that will leave you with an amazing experience in my opinion. Hunters come and book rooms weeks in advance every year starting from Oct 1st to Dec 1st. That is their busiest time of year bar none. But they are very loyal and return every year, over the years I've built friendships & memories with alot of them also. I miss that alot :( but my journey at this business has unfortunately ended do to lack of sobriety. I miss it everyday and wish things turned out differently and that is the honest truth. Go and support these people and you will not regret it I promise. You will have memories for years to come! Tell them that the old bartender Joshua Linskie sent you and they will take care of you Lol... thank you and don't forget to stay humble my friends and Godspeed to us all!

The best restaurant in a 30 mile radius easy. Staff can be grumpy before they get their coffee. But…read moreall together they're alright. Has a bar in the back and hotel rooms on the side. Not many hotels in big cities could compete with the food these guys cook up.

BarN & Grill - Sicilian sandwich and fresh cut fries

Wow! What a great little find off the interstate. I enjoyed the Sicilian sandwich as their lunch…read morespecial. It was so flavorful and on a very soft ciabatta bread, served with FRESH cut fries (enjoyed with a homemade siracha ranch) Service was also friendly and was a nice experience overall!

I gotta tell my brothers and sisters here about a decent feed trough that is situated in the little…read moretown of Buxton, North Dakota. Now, Buxton ain't but a couple of families bigger than 300 population. It's one of the smaller towns that hugs the I-29 corridor between Fargo and Grand Forks. The thing about these tiny Dakota towns is that if you're prospectin' for some vittles, you can strike gold more times than not. Buxton got itself a little gold rush goin' with the BarN & Grill. Buxton's BarN & Grill is a conspicuous fixture along that downtown street called Broadway. Just like Buxton's sister city of Manhattan, you are bound to find digs that'll set your appetite right on ol' Broadway. It may come as a surprise to some city slickers that the BarN & Grill got itself a country motif that makes it look like a red barn. It's a level-headed decision as the red barn is quite visible from many places in town. Diagonal parking'll keep you hitchin' up your ride like the ol' days. Dust off your boots and pull up a stool. Immediately noticeable inside the BarN & Grill is the sheer size of this stately saloon. I suspect every resident of Buxton could fit inside. I envision live music, a dance floor, and smorgasbord offerings... I'd make another trip for that! My trusty sidekick and I sauntered in off the dusty trail to grab a bite. There was a solo tapper keeping the drinks flowin' and he moved like a man on a mission. He pulled us a couple teetotaller specials and threw a couple gazettes at us. I was pleased to see that the prices were right in line with expectations. I decided to set up with some jalapeno poppers and the Haystack quarter-pounder with waffle fries. My buddy settled on a burger with a little more kick. I gotta tell ya... what I got was pleasantly not exactly what I ordered. I got the Haystack, but ol' cookie, in the kitchen, musta peeked out the door and seen a couple healthy lookin' appetites, cuz he pattied up a couple burgers that had to been north o'clock of the 1/3rd pound. He knows his grill, too. That hash slinger wasn't wearing wet boots, that's for sure. My burger came out with a crispy brown outside and a top-tier, 5-star Michelin medium inside. Add to that the hash browns as golden as any prospector could dream of. I cannot see anyone being disappointed at BarN & Grill as long as that mess hall master is spinnin' spatulas! C'mon! The service was great, the food was great, the price was great. All in all, The BarN & Grill was a great find. A delicious, custom grilled burger delivered hot and sizzlin' with a generous side of tater and a drink PLUS the IRS cut in exchange for a Hamilton with a pocket of change? Not too many places can hook an Hombre up for such a reasonable tab. Listen, when you find a place that does it like the BarN & Grill, you gotta keep your charitabilities in range, got it? This place don't ask you to pony up too much of your daily pannings. If you found yourself in any other saloon, you'd be peelin' off an additional rail-splitter for the same grub. BarN & Grill got a runner whose heart is for the cowboy. Do this guy a solid and drop a couple extra flakes in his sluice. Buxton is a classic small town and the residents need a bolsterin'. If you feel like rounding up to your regular dinner budget, you are goona be a hero to the people who tend the fires, c'mon! If you can afford to play, you can afford to pay. Show 'em some love! Be awesome! "Sometimes you find yourself in the middle of nowhere and sometimes, in the middle of nowhere, you find yourself" - Unknown
