“my favorite bar to go to, so welcoming and cozy☺️ grateful this bar is around!“

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

“We had a party downstairs in the cellar; The party was a huge surprise. The space was perfect and your staff was great! Everything was ready to go when we got there and your staff asked if we needed anything right away! It was so fun, so thank you again!“

“We have been to CJ’s many times. The food is awesome, the atmosphere is great and the staff give excellent service!! The Manager is also very friendly and helpful with staff and customers!! Definitely a five star place!!“

“Real good dive, the stumplifter is a great cocktail. Like the daily specials and all the little things they have that tie the bow in this place. Mug nite is a good touch too. Good unassuming place with a super friendly staff. My one compliant is everytime I've gone through the offsale is that there's always the strangest people inside or around the area. That being said, it's not at the fault if Chub's, it's a weird part of town after all. Anyway they were playing Casino on TV and I saw Tua get his 3rd or 4th concussion here so I whole-heartedly recommend Chub's!

“Best burgers Good beers Great toppings“

“Such a fun club that can pull amazing comedians from all over the world. Getting to see the TOP comedians here in my hometown is so surreal. This is the place to be for comedy fans!!“

“Day time bartenders are always awesome!! Good lunch specials“

“Great atmosphere and staff“

“Definition of what one would consider a dive bar. That title is only accurate when describing the low number of patrons and dark corners throughout the interior booths. Service was friendly and prompt. Easy to strike up a casual conversation with the gals working. The ratio of server to patron allows for drinks to flow continually. Employees whom one can see enjoy performing. Some may go as far as to call Specks Bar, a hidden gem.

Parking: Easy to find a spot as Specks bar has a couple hundred yard area on the backside which extends to the rainroad“

“Great atmosphere. relaxing, bright and open space. very modern. The drinks are 5 stars for sure. Nice patio with pond and fountain.“

“Contact D&J with short notice for a surprise birthday party! Brilliant set up, great song choices and the option of karaoke went down a storm with the children and adults! Thank you so much, highly recommended!“

“So fun! Great owners! Ask bartender, Matt, for the Matinee shot! :)“

“One of the best Mexican restaurants in the Fargo area. This is actually real Mexican food not Midwest Mexican. Lots of flavors, fresh seafood and we'll seasoned meats. Great drink selection to pair with the food. Highly recommend the table side guacamole to go with every meal.“

“I was in for lunch on Saturday. Place looks great. The food was tasty, their fries are really on point, maybe the best in town. Molly the bartender was great. She had a good rapport with her customers and did a good job of checking in with everyone despite being the only person there. It kinda felt like what I would imagine a modern version of Cheers would be, which is not something you would expect from a hotel bar.“

“great lunch spot...daily specials!“

“Quintessential dive bar. However, whereas some dive bars are filled with xenophobic locals, this bar warmly welcomed these two outsiders. Has everything a dive bar needs. Virtually no windows. Dark atmosphere. Old bar. And good beer selection at cheap prices. If you look up dive bar in a dictionary, they could have a picture of Duffy’s.“

“Very relaxing environment“

“Ethan my favorite bartender in all of fargo, hes the Bees Knees! His friendly face always remembers my drink and serves it with a charming smile! check him out for his quick and efficient service.“

“Best bar in Fargo-Moorhead. Good vibes and usually a low-key spot (weekends can get wild though!) which is perfect for anxious people like me! All of the staff go above and beyond to make sure you’re feeling welcome and safe. Make sure to order a Danny Special™️ if he’s behind the bar!!“

“Nice dive bar. Would go there again.“

“I wanted to take the time to tell you what a great experience we had last night! The service from the bartender and manager on shift last night was top notch! Both were extremely knowledgeable about the menu and beers offered on tap. We sampled a few items from the tap and found some new favorites! The bartender made me a pickle martini after I expressed how much I loved pickles! Food was great, drinks were delicious and the service was excellent! It’s so refreshing to meet people who love what they do! We will be back our next trip to Fargo for sure!“

“😀Brought my 5 year old grandson and he LOVED the entire experience and really enjoyed the waffles“

“Me and my girlfriend came out tonight (on a Saturday night) after waiting 30/45 min at a Applebees with no sign of seeing a table…walked in to be greeted right away by a hostess and was seated right away. Food was AMAZING staff was as friendly as they come greeting us as we walked in and telling us to have a good night on our way out. Food was 🔥 🔥 10/10 from the Stars ⭐️ we will be back out for more BBQ for sure!“

“The food was really good and the atmosphere was pretty laid back! Will be returning!“

“I walked into Cowboy Jack’s fully expecting a record scratch and every head in the saloon to turn. Half thought someone would slide a whiskey down the bar and ask what trouble I was bringin’ to town.
The vibe is pure modern frontier. Loud, lively, boots-on-the-floor energy with enough TVs to make it clear this is where cowboys now settle disputes with fantasy football stats instead of six-shooters. Music’s bumpin’, drinks are flowin’, and the crowd feels like a mix of ranch hands, college kids, and folks who definitely say “one more round” at least twice.
Food hits like trail rations upgraded by civilization. Drinks come strong enough to make you believe you could win a bar fight or at least confidently explain how you almost bought land in Montana.
No tumbleweeds, no duels at high noon, but if the Old West had Wi-Fi, big screens, and cold beer on tap, this would be it. Saddle up. 🍻🐎“

“not only is the food delicious, but Amanda and Tesa went above and beyond to make my not so great Turkey Day in the Hospital, as meaningful and personable as it could get.“

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

“They have live, local bands quite often. The atmosphere is very enjoyable if you can handle a little bit of a crowd and higher levels of noise. Staff is on top of things and quick to serve you . Outdoor patio for those who smoke . Had a great time while we visited. Crowd ranged from college aged students to older adults. The vibe is for everyone. They also have gaming along side the wonderful entertainment of live music!“

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

“always love this place and thier foxy lady drinks! We went there tonight on Valentines Day and they were short staffed due to 2 of the 4 waiters didn't show and PACKED, this did NOT slow them down one bit! Our waitress didn't skip a beat and on top of that suuuuper friendly! ❤️ I hope she found time to breathe tonight. Man she hustled, super impressed! Keep doing what you're doing coz yall rock it!“

“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!!“

“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.“

“Our waitress was Paige L.
She was very kind and friendly. We really liked her. We had a great experience and we made sure to get here at opening time. 😁😁
Also the coffee here is amazing! I had like 3 cups lol. Our food also came out in a great timely manner as well.“

“The triple dipper is single handledly the greatest menu item ever created. I always order 6 big mouth bites and see how many I can put inside of my mouth at the same time. It gets messy but the employees are always supportive of my big mouth challenge. Way more supportive than Corwin auto wholesale ever could be.“
