50 Best American Restaurants near Moorhead

“Mercedes and Kelsi made my breakfast so enjoyable. Mercedes was training Kelsi in and was so professional. My food was exactly what I ordered and how I ordered it. I am very hard to please. My breakfast experience was the best I've had since covid.“

“We hosted my dad's 80th birthday party at the Moorhead Legion yesterday, August 27th. Everything went perfectly! We had tons of compliments. Scott and his team are so accommodating. We had about 60 guests and they let you use your own caterer and put up your own decorations. If you have any events that you need a great space at a reasonable rate, give them a call :)“

“Love BWW all locations are great“

“We had an amazing experience as first timers at Mezzaluna! They were so prompt and friendly! They had the most amazing palate cleanser I’ve ever had! We were celebrating our anniversary and many people wished us a happy anniversary and we received a free dessert as their gift. My husband and I felt so relaxed as we never had to ask for a refill or anything! They were very attentive! Thank you for an amazing meal!! We had the burrata appetizer, tri-tip steak, steak Diane, the soup special that was a curry soup, flourless chocolate cake, and the lemon lavender crème brûlée.“

“Just great food and friendly“

“Have had consistently good experiences. The allergen friendly options are amazing, especially for those with multiple allergies/sensitivities. Staff is super responsive. We travel to Fargo frequently and try to make this a regular stop!“

“Wonderful menu options, perfect food & service❤️“

“Met a family member for supper after a long day at the neurologist for my 10 month old son. He’s finally 1 month seizure free and got the news he most likely won’t have any more. They brought him a sundae and all congratulated him. The food was so delicious and our waitress was on top of drinks.“

“I was just at Knolls and they let me try the chilli and it wasn't spicy so I ordered a bowl and after eating some it got really spicy Dillon made it right gave me a bowl of knephla soup at no extra charge I rate Knolls a 5.0“

“great place to eat! love the atmosphere“

“I forgot to do this review earlier, but our servers at the time was Rachel. She has great customer service! She was a blast to talk to and was overall a very fun person to have as our server! She made the experience most definitely unforgettable! The food is delicious and they have many different food and drink options! We can’t wait to come back and see Rachel again if she still works there! Thank you!!!“

“Had an amazing meal at The Toasted Frog - Fargo!!! 10/10 one of the best meals I’ve had in ages! Do yourself a favour and request a “kitchen bar”seat and watch the line work!!! Sous Chef Alec did an amazing job leading his team through the weeds! If you are in Fargo….make this a stop!“

“Attended a family event here recently and came away pretty impressed. The venue was clean, well kept, and had plenty of room without feeling too crowded. Staff members were polite and helped people find where they needed to go, which made things easier. Parking was decent and not too far from the entrance. Sound system worked well, and everything ran smooth most of the night. Only small issue was it got a little warm once the room filled up, but nothing terrible. Overall it was a nice place for gatherings and I’d gladly come back for another event.“

“I took my mom here tonight for her birthday. They went out of their way to accommodate our food restrictions and needs. They even sang her happy birthday on a whim. The food was amazing as well! I highly recommend this for any occasion. Very very good time.“

“Tonight we had Jenna as a waitress. She did a great job being friendly, efficient and explained how the tabletop checkout worked. Hey we are boomers! We need that assistance. Food came in a short time and was good. Many years ago I was a waitress in college, my husband ran a kitchen. We both greatly appreciated a job well done by this restaurant.“

“Your hot rod Burger was probably one of the best spicy burgers that I have had in Fargo! The server was wonderful, Kelsey. Our only issue probably had to do with the communication on our end, we had asked for the lettuce and the tomato on her Birthday Burger but it came out with neither. No worries, the burger was still very good!“

“We had an incredible night at Camp Lonetree with our kickball crew. The staff handled our large group with ease—quick, friendly, and full of good energy. The food was packed with flavor and just the right amount of kick, all served in a rooftop setting that felt like a cozy summer camp with city views. Whether you’re rolling deep with a team or just grabbing a bite with a friend, this spot nails the casual vibe. Highly recommend for anyone looking to mix great eats with a laid-back, welcoming atmosphere.“

“Food is always hot and fresh when we go. My go-to place for chicken. Delicious!“

“Best burger in the FM area! Try the Rajun Cajun! It’s so simply yet SO delicious!“

“My husband, toddler, and I were looking for a good spot to eat tonight. We stopped into Petro to check out one of their spots to eat. We decided to stop into Dolly Down, and are so glad we did! We really weren't sure what to expect at first, but ended up absolutely loving this place! The food was fantastic. They serve breakfast all day, so I ordered a full biscuits and gravy, my husband ordered an omelet and some French toast, and we got mini corn dogs with fries for our little one. The fries were so crispy and delicious, some of the best fries I've had in Fargo. Our toddler LOVED everything she got. She didn't waste a single bite! Husband said omelet and French toast was incredible. The biscuits and gravy was such a large portion! Very tasty, and I ordered some great hash browns on the side. Everything was cooked really well, we enjoyed everything we ordered! Our server was so nice and friendly. She was on top of everything! We never had an empty cup, and she made sure to check in on us often. She was the only one running the front, and she still took time to walk with everyone there. Her name is Sherry (sorry if I spelled it wrong). She was awesome. Thank you for your kind service! And lastly, the prices were really affordable. We will gladly come back and visit in the near future.“

“First time eating there and it was amazing“

“Absolutely love this place and their staff are top notch highly recommend for a date night or just to go out and enjoy an amazing meal with wonderful people and great atmosphere 10/10“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – A Fargo Favorite! The Bison Turf is hands down one of the best spots in town. The food is consistently great — flavorful, satisfying, and perfect whether you're grabbing a quick bite or settling in for the night. Their drink specials are top-notch and hard to beat, making it a great value without sacrificing quality. What really sets the Turf apart is the atmosphere. It's got that perfect mix of laid-back and lively, whether you're there for a game, a night out with friends, or just winding down. And the staff? Absolutely amazing. Friendly, fast, and always on point — they make you feel welcome every time you walk through the door. If you haven’t checked out The Bison Turf yet, do yourself a favor and stop by. You won’t be disappointed.“

“Great atmosphere and staff“

“Our server was friendly and attentive. The fresh bread and butter delicious. The food hot and timed just right. Steaks were tender and cooked as ordered. Will definitely come again when we’re in town.“

“The service is usually pretty good, but my only complaint is the online service. I ordered on the app for the first time. I went in and told them my name and that I ordered online they gave me my drink and then they let my food sit on the shelf getting cold for 20 minutes and didn’t feel the need to tell me my order is ready or call out a number or anything. It’s never good eating cold food and no one apologized or anything just brushed off that they sat and stared at me for 20 mins knowing my food was done“

“Yesterday we went to Culvers on 13th per my daughters request for her golden 7th birthday. One of the staff gave her a free sundae, and a scoopie stuffie and she was so happy! We love culvers and how they can still be a fun fast food option even though I am gluten free. She already asked when we can go back again. Amazing service noticing her birthday headband and going above and beyond to make her feel special on her specail day.“

“We went to Doolittle’s Woodfire grill for Valentine’s. Great dinner. Cider glazed pork belly and a top notch dirty martini. I had Shrimp and Polenta, hubs had seared scallops. Great bottle of Riesling, complemented our main courses. Finally Chocolate Creme Brulee and Irish coffee. Service was exceptional, right from the hostess station, bar staff, busers and our waitress. We have not been there in a very long time, but we will be back and very soon.“

“Stopped in for breakfast while staying at the hotel. We were greeted and seated immediately. Coffee and water were offered right away. As we checked menus the pot of coffee was left… a pot! The menu is small but had all the basics including a big buffet at your choice ($19). We ordered the favorite breakfast - two eggs, meat, toast and potatoes and the same as a two topping omelette (with ham and mushroom). The server was amazing…. So pleasant and cheerful. Our food came quickly and looked good except the wheat toast was a tiny bit dark for my preference. The eggs were perfectly over medium, nice crispy hash browns and bacon and jelly selections rather than one tub on the plate made my husband (a strawberry faithful) very happy. My omelette was filled with ham and mushroom - I forget some people don’t consider cheese a given in an omelette, but it was still good. The potatoes were crispy and the bacon perfect. As I mentioned, the toast was a bit well done but after scraping some off was fine. Good breakfast and nice atmosphere and service. Cost was $36… very reasonable!“

“Daily food and drink specials.

Dry rub wingies - #1 in FM 🥇

We had Apps and drinks. Sampler, sliders, chips and queso. Everything was great.
Quite a few people so the servers were busy and did an excellent job.

Sunday lunch, Chicken ranch wrap, street tacos, and nachos!

Dry rub wings are delicious!!!! Boneless wing special on Thursday.

Giving them the #1 traditional wing in FM award… so good!!“

“Unfortunately, our experience at Wild Bill’s in Fargo was frustrating from beginning to end. When we were seated, our server seemed visibly annoyed about getting another table. We then waited more than 15 minutes just to be acknowledged and receive water—we were genuinely about to walk out when he finally came over.

The rest of the meal required us to manage our own service. We had to ask for ketchup, water refills, and eventually our tab. Other guests in his section were stuck waiting too: one table had received its bill but couldn’t get him to return so they could pay, while another table was still waiting for their bill.

Meanwhile, our server—listed as JJ J. on the receipt—was sweeping with the focus of a distracted five-year-old, repeatedly stopping to watch the TV. There was apparently enough time for the television, just not enough time to check on the customers.

I understand that everyone has an off day and restaurants can get busy, but customers shouldn’t feel like an inconvenience or have to chase down every basic part of their meal. The food was good, but the service left a bad taste behind.“

“We just loved this place! The food was great, service was great and the atmosphere was awesome! There were 5 of us and everyone loved it. The wraps are amazing! We will be back!“

“I ordered from Doordash roughly 4-5 miles away, so I can't attest to the service or atmosphere. Also my Dasher did deliver to another location before arriving, so some minor issues could be due to that. This was the first time ordering and the food was enjoyable.

My first item was the Chicken Avocado Sandwich with the Soup of the Day (I ordered on Tuesday). Everything tasted fresh, chicken was well seasoned, the bread to meat/topping ratio was perfect, nice portion, and considering the drive over it held up pretty well. A tiny part of my chicken was a little dry but otherwise well cooked. I have no clue what the soup was but it was delicious. It was tomato based and again I ordered the other day which was Tuesday, so if it's a consistent schedule, get the soup on Tuesday, it's awesome. I give the meal a 9.5/10.

The second item was a build your own burger with a side salad. So I'm going to preface this due to it being Doordash and not eaten fresh so some things are a little out their control but just something to keep in mind if you do delivery. The burger was topped with cheddar no other toppings (which is how I asked for it) and was a little closer to well done by the time it arrived, but it was still very tasty. It kind of reminded me of Hi-Ho over by Dilworth before they closed and turned into Grill 10 (also good I've heard). It was well seasoned, had that nice beefy flavor you look for in a burger and my husband ate it so fast I couldn't get a pic, but it was a solid burger for sure. It makes me want to try their other burgers for sure. The side salad is a toss up but not due to the quality of the veg but how it was packed. Because the salad was packed in the same container as the burger, it wilted the veggies a bit. Also since my Dasher made a delivery before mine, there was extra time in transit. So next time I might request to have a separate container for the salad or dye priority delivery for DD. Either way, the salad was still good, the veggies had a nice fresh color, NO brown lettuce (which I freaking hate) whatsoever, and I definitely plan on trying their main salads in the future. So I give this a 10/10 considering the delivery stuff.

I would definitely recommend trying the food here. I think it would probably be best to eat it there depending on what your order, but I'm sure they would make adjustments for certain items with delivery or pick ups. So I'd say my first experience is a 9.8/10. Try them!“

“Checked out this 'new to us' sports bar last night called Brewtus Brickhouse. My buddies and I were itching to try someplace different for a change of pace. From the minute we sauntered in, I got good vibes. Tons of TVs primed for the big game, ice cold suds on tap, and a killer '80s rock soundtrack - complete with the manager doing hamstring stretches and ripping air guitar before each song. The menu looked sick - loaded up on wings, and snagged a secret menu taco grinder pizza our server 'Sweet Tators' tipped us off to. Our waitress Boods was a real ace - laid back, knew her sports, and clearly a cat lover. She took solid care of our crew out on the patio. Overall, Brewtus is a top-notch spot! My boys agreed we found our go-to for knocking back cool ones 😎 🍺“

“staff was very kind and flexible. Good food, prices and drinks. we will be coming back 🥰“

“Signed up for wait-list and said 10-20 minutes wait. Fine. Sat outside 10 minutes or so and got a text to come in. Stood inside for 16 minutes before asking hostess how much longer the wait would be. She said, "When a table is ready." Asked how long she thought it would be. She said, "Ummm as soon as one is ready." Debated staying, ultimately told her we were going to Longhorn. Her response was, "Ok. Bye." Ironically, we had enough time while standing there to read their LEAD acronym guide that was posted behind the desk. The first two, listen an empathize, must have slipped the hostess's mind as she didn't indicate that she cared about our wait or that we were leaving to eat at the competitor. The lady who was seating people made the comment that a bunch of the servers went on break at the same time. It seems that scheduling is another area that needs improvement at this establishment.“

“Great menu and service!“

“My chorus had a dinner at Lucky’s, the staff was attentive and treated us great!“

“Great spot... Awesome food and a cool vibe“

“A Voli's ,Hi♧Ho Burger's & BREW'S ♧ !!!!“

“Good food , service not so much !! was slow on Wednesday when we ate there at around 1230 pm ..they need to work on there service and not look so crabby I work in the restaurant business myself!!“

“Honey did a wonderful job!“

“We were a party of 9 for dinner after my son’s wedding yesterday. Just wanted to give a shout out to our server for excellent service, always smiling, and checked with us continuously throughout our meal. Then boxed all the leftovers for all who needed. Thank you to the manager also for the complimentary champagne and dessert to the bride and groom. Food was great no one had a complaint.“

“We eat lunch most days at ruby Tuesday . We have no complaints and don’t expect all to be perfect every day ..we are working with humans trying their best . Sometimes when feeling like complaining put yourself in that servers place or think if that was your daughter or son how you would like them treated .. as far as complaints about a specific blond server .. she is one of the most efficient there . There are people who just like to complain maybe hoping for a free meal .“

“food was fresh and delicious minus missing hash browns“
