“I travel to Bismarck often and how nobody has recommended this place to me yet… I think the locals must be keeping it a secret. The staff were the highlight - warm, friendly, and inviting. But the food! Beautiful plates, creative cuisine, all served right along a stunning riverscape.”
“Absolutely incredible brews and even better staff. Mind blowing service from people that are beyond passionate about this wonderful place. Menu is constantly changing with beers, IPAs, sours, and even seltzers that are so diverse and unique you'll struggle to find something you don't like. Honestly my favorite bar in Bismarck by a country mile.”
“Fantastic food, drinks, and service. Highly recommend and definitely will return and take clients. A really great experience and I wanted to try everything on the menu!”
“The service was excellent and the overall vibe is calming and low key. With multiple kids at home it's a nice change of pace. The burger was ok, but the salmon plate was excellent. We have been here many times and never disappoints!”
“We received wonderful service from Kayla. She was very friendly, conversational, and helpful in making a recommendation to my associate. Additionally, she was very kind about asking the kitchen staff to up-cook his ribeye, which he then enjoyed as much as the rest of us enjoyed our steaks. The food was all exceptional, and the mac-n-cheese was almost as phenomenal as the steak. I will absolutely be visiting again if I return to Bismarck.Kid-friendliness: There is a specific section of the menu for kids. The booths help restrict the kids to their seat. The atmosphere is fun and suitable to kids. The staff will sing a song if it's someone's birthday.”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“I really love this place. The owner is cool as well. Great events. Please try the bread and the salad with gorgonzola. My new regular spot with the hubby for dates.”
“Very nice upscale restaurant. They handled a big group on I somewhat busy night with poise. The bread was fantastic. The peppercorn steak was bland save for the abundance of whole peppercorns. The peppercorns were so abundant they infected all the other items on the dish.”
“Amazing shake shop with so many more fun healthy snack options! The staff is all super friendly and makes great suggestions when I want to change it up. Would highly recommend stopping in next time you are in the mood for a yummy shake and tea!”
Restaurants with Delivery
“Different selection weekly! Kind of on the pricey side but makes sense for the size of cookie! Peach Pie was so surprisingly good! Considering the size and freshness I was able to get on these for a few days! Would recommend”
“Brick Oven Bakery is my favorite bakery to go to in Bismarck. They have the most delicious, decadent food that is homemade and enjoyable with every bite. The service is 10/10! The workers are beyond kind and show hospitality and care to their customers. Their homemade bread is to die for. The pastries are so good (my favorite is the almond croissant). I also LOVE their sandwiches because the bread and croissants used are always made in house which just makes everything taste better. I have dined inside and the environment is so cute and cozy. I get take out as well which is so convenient when I’m on the go. I highly recommend giving it a try!”
“So My family and I just moved to Bismarck, ND a few weeks ago and My Husband decided to take me to lunch. I've never had Indian food so he suggested I try it. I'm not gonna lie, I was a bit nervous because I always associated Indian with spicy. I could not have been more wrong! We started off with the lamb kabobs, since I had never had lamb before either. It was different. It was good and the green sauce definitely helped it taste better. Then we had the chicken Tikka Masala for the meal and the garlic Naan. Yes yes yes!!!! It was absolutely delicious! The chicken was tender, the rice was cooked to perfection, and the Naan just tied everything in perfectly! I will definitely be back to order this again! 10/10 for sure!”
“Great food, the portion sizes were large. I got the Chori Pollo plate and my boyfriend got the Carnitas. The made to order guacamole was fantastic. The drinks were delicious.We went on a Thursday around 7 and they were packed, heard from a few other people waiting that this place is always busy. We had about a 20 minute wait to get seated.Parking: Parking wasn’t too hard to find, the lot around the restaurant was very full.”
“This little place is packed full with flavor. All of our food was absolutely delicious. From the entrees to the main courses, to the drinks. Everybody was so friendly and helpful. The food was cooked quickly, and came out piping hot. What a fun place to eat!!Vegetarian options: The noodles with lettuce is absolutely delicious.”
“Great food and great service, but I have to subtract a star for the relatively dim lighting. My older associate and another older gentleman across the aisle both had to pull out their smartphones for additional light. The soup was great, and so was the pesto. My associate really liked his steak but was mildly disappointed that they didn't have Summit despite the neon sign for it above the bar.”
“Saw the menu from outside and had to go in. The Barista was available as soon as I walked in and she was quick and kind. I got the salted caramel milk tea with Tapioca, 1 sip and I was in ”
“After reading reviews, I decided a walk to Sickies Garage for lunch was in order!! Yes! Perfect atmosphere for a burger, fresh veggies, cheese curds and a local IPA!!! Mac n Cheese burger with Kobe meat was the bomb!! My waitress was amazing. Friendly, witty and just down to earth great! Her name was Kayla! Stop in and see her and enjoy a great burger!!”
“I always order the same drink no matter where I go. This is my drink 2 or 3 times a week. Bitty Bean made the best Peppermint Mocha I've ever had...line was quick, service was excellent and friendly. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in ”
“The fact that I was able to order a cake the night before a bday party weighs heavy for me. Fast, friendly, tasty, affordable, fun cakes!! If you're last minute like me, I highly recommend Nothing Bundt Cakes of Bismarck!!”
“I had the Guinness Irish Stew. I loved the flavor; texture and it was full of tender chunks of meat. Maybe I am just greedy but would have loved a bigger serving portion of this stew- LOL. I do love beef stew. Not necessarily a complaint, but the lighting in some areas of the restaurant is dim, otherwise a good place to dine. Our server was friendly and came back to check on us often. This place can be busy on the weekends, so go early if you can make it. You may have to drive around for a bit to find a parking spot, so expect to do some walking.”
“Daughter loved the Gyoza. And liked the Miso Ramen. I'm a fan of the Miso, but had to try the Unagi Don this time, it's great! And the Takoyaki Octopus is a treat for me.”
“Absolutely my favorite place to hang put downtown. Every employee is awesome, and the atmosphere is extremely chill. 10/10Drink in video is down the rabbit hole and is my all time favorite.Parking: Enter the parking structure on 6th street just north of Main Street. Park on the second floor, enter through the south facing door. After 6pm during the week parking is free, also free all day s/s. Otherwise its 8$ for a prepaid day pass or $1.50 an hour.Kid-friendliness: 21+ EstablishmentWheelchair accessibility: Accessible via front door on main by India Clay oven, take elevator to second floor. Also via parking structure BUT there are stairs to cross on second floor, so park on the third floor and then take elevator down.”

“i love this place. they do get busy, and a server called out, so there was only one person taking orders and running food. But the food is worth waiting, and service is great and doesn't feel rushed.we took our three year old and he talked to everyone within chatting distance. staff was very kind and patient.i do wish their menu had pictures of each pizza with the description. They're beautiful and super tasty - the shroom is my regular order here, and the goddess salad is both fresh and delicious.”

“Having had a few experiences here with takeout and dine-in, the food is amazing but would recommend dinner service over dining in for lunch. Take-out option is also great.”
“My family stopped in here for dinner while in Bismarck. Our waitress was friendly. We really enjoyed the spring rolls. I ordered the udon noodles: they were decent but I was bored by the end of the dish. The restaurant itself was nice, but the table felt sticky and there were a lot of flies”

“Good food for a quick bite. I got the asada tacos, notably the cilantro was very aromatic and fresh. The owners are nice and very friendly. Would love to see quesa biria here one day, one of my favs!”
“Fantastic place, I have celiac and their staff walked me through their gluten free options and were super careful with my food. It tasted amazing. Fully recommend.”
“In a word, delicious! We started with the mussels. I had the porchetta with swiss Chard and Polenta. Perfectly seasoned and cooked. My husband had the steak frite. The seasoning was again very good, frites were crispy, the steak was too cool for me. Overall, very good. I look forward to returning.”
“Relatively good food at a reasonable price. The only downside was the steak I wanted was not available (people must like the meal I wanted to order and they were out ?). I'm not too picky, so I was fine with fish. It wasn't too busy at 3pm on a weekday. My father in law commented on the large portions and I agree. You will leave full with the Italian bread sticks they offer and soup, if you order that as an appetizer or side. I wouldn't describe the service as exceptional, but it wasn't subpar either. Thank you.Kid-friendliness: Coloring page and crayons + high chairs available for small children.”
“The egg rolls were the best..crisp and tasty.Fried rice was fresh, and the healthiest version I've ever had from this establishment! Looking forward to ordering again soon.”
“This place is definitely more Thai than anything. Even the Hawaiian food has a hint of peanut to it. I don't recommend the Hawaiian food but also it wasn't ”
“Got some food to go (sesame chicken, sweet & sour pork, Mongolian chicken, fried rice). Food was hot and very tasty. Portions were huge! Would definitely go here again.”
“This is a favorite place for me. I've been dining at this location since it opened in the early '90s. The service is great nearly every visit and the food is prepared how you'd like it. The management is also great at making your visit right so if there are any issues with your visit, please let them know. Also, see if Roger is serving because he can make your visit even better. Try the specials when you visit!”
“This was the best meal I’ve had in YEARS going out to eat!!! We will have to come every time we visit Bismarck!Fresh and oh so very tasty and the staff was AMAZING!”
“I travel quite a bit for work and I have dined at some very nice restaurants across the country. I was very pleased with this 40 Steak and Seafood. The food and service were great, and the atmosphere was unique.”
“Great food, unsure about my assumption is that the owner is always there for most of the day and I respect that. It makes me trust the restaurant a lot moreParking: Nice open lot, usually always a spot next to the doorKid-friendliness: Never got charged for bringing my 2 year old nephew. That was unexpected and kindWheelchair accessibility: Very open, I would think it's as easy to maneuver a chair in here as it is Walmart”
“Atmosphere, food, and service were all excellent! We even got a bit of a history lesson after a question about the architecture of the building. No doubt, a new favorite! ? ?Parking: Parking was a bit tricky but definitely worth it ?”
“Maybe the best Chinese takeout in Bismarck? I definitely trust the quality of the food and their cleanliness - the staff is great. Really great service. Haven't had anything I haven't liked, but haven't experimented much yet either. Good prices for good portions, worth picking up for sure.”
“Nearly five years ago, I was here in Bismarck to do some IT consulting for the State. I'm back now but just passing through. And I had to pop up here to Bismarck Brewing and drink a beer in memory of a friend who has since passed.Steve was the sales dude who signed the deal and got me three weeks of consulting in Bismarck. I won't hold it against him that it was February and March which is probably the worst time of the year to be in North Dakota. It was certainly an experience.The last time I was here in Bismarck Brewing, Steve had bought the last round of drinks. So here's to you, Steve! Thanks for the memories. I miss working with you.[Review 20780 overall - 136 in North Dakota - 1764 of 2023.]”

A&B Pizza
“Nice pizza place, food good, beer cold. Not complaining but not sure I like sitting down getting up to order and pay then sitting down. They bring out food and are very friendly. I would rather get waited on and pay after.”

“This is a CasIno/Bar! Rumors going around about a kitchen soon! For now just pizzas and cheese bread, a Pizza shop next door and good Mexican across the street. A great place if u like gambling or fit in "South of the Tracks" They have Bingo, Pull Tabs, Black Jack, ETabs, Pig wheel etc... Galactic Bingo One Thursday a month.”
24 Hour Restaurants
“The crew there are all amazing. Got my food and the fries were hot and fresh. The shake and flurry was delicious ? and the burger was excellent. The staff there is always smiling ☺ and happy to greet me each day I work thanks for letting me be a part of the team guys!”
“Literally, the cleanest McDonald's I've ever been to. The food actually looked like the picture and tasted better than other places I've been. Very courteous employees. Definitely recommend!”
“The best overall steakhouse in North Dakota. Service is nice and Kind. Food is delicious. Scenery is delightful. Nothing more to say than a decent steakhouse for the fam!Parking: Alot of room for every guest! ?”
“We had the hibachi grill experience. The service was great, everyone was friendly, including the other family we were sat with. 2 hibachi dinners (1 chicken and 1 shrimp with noodles) and 2 sushi rolls with an order or noodles, a water, tea and lemonade that were refilled frequently. We all got the mushroom soup, that was quite tasty. The fried rice was a bit overcooked (dry & crunchy). The vegetables were delicious, the noodles were only ok... not what I was expecting I guess. They have an odd taste to them. The shrimp was overcooked, but the chicken was perfect!The cook wanted to toss food in our mouth...I was wearing a white shirt, thankfully I declined, he missed everyones mouth and got egg all over them.The total was $99 before the tip.”
“Very glad we decided to eat at the hotela restaurant. Dakota Grille has a great burger selection. The firehouse burger was great. Just the right heat to make it a great burger. My wife had the Prime Dip and really enjoyed it.”
Takeout Restaurants
“We love their pizza and artichoke dip. The staff is so friendly and really cares. They go out of their way. We normally go around 4:30 when it isn't so busy. Very family friendly!”
“This was my first time here. The waiter was great. The atmosphere was good. My daughter and son-in-law were with me. We had a good time.Parking: I parked on the street. This was on Sunday so easy to find parking.”
“Absolutely incredible brews and even better staff. Mind blowing service from people that are beyond passionate about this wonderful place. Menu is constantly changing with beers, IPAs, sours, and even seltzers that are so diverse and unique you'll struggle to find something you don't like. Honestly my favorite bar in Bismarck by a country mile.”
“Great pizza. I have had the pizza by the slice many times and it is thin to medium crust with a good sauce to bread ratio. I have also had multiple stromboli that were excellent. The stromboli has pizza sauce in it. Most other pizza places I have been to would call that a calzone. Not a big deal just be aware if you order them.”
“Fantastic food, drinks, and service. Highly recommend and definitely will return and take clients. A really great experience and I wanted to try everything on the menu!”
“I got an iced caramel breve and my sister got the cherry mocha latte and they were both DELICIOUS. The man was so friendly and welcoming and was so happy to tell us about how long he had been there, etc… also got a pastry with some almonds on top and it was fantastic! If you are in Bismarck, make some time for this cute little place.”
“Walked in and the place was empty. We had to call the worker to get her attention. BUT the food was amazing. We had jerk chicken, jerk pork, curried chicken and the chicken fingers. It was so yummy. My whole family was super impressed with our lunch.”
“The outside is super quirky and piqued my interest, so I decided to stop in. The food was great; I ordered pizza with about 6 toppings, and it was not soggy. The crust was crisp, thin, and just overall satisfying.The decor definitely fits the theme, and it seems a great place for birthdays as I learned from the 3-4 happening while there. The staff is friendly and adds to a fun experience. Scott, you the man.”
“If you are looking for good sandwiches or salads for a fair price this is by far the best locally-owned sandwich shop in Bismarck, good food, good service, and friendly staff never had a bad experience here :)”
“Food was good, prices have gone up as have other establishments, very busy so the wait was longer than usual but manageable. Side of egg rolls were delicious, but small portions.”
“My husband & I were in Bismarck today visiting someone in the hospital & decided to try Laughing Sun because it was in close proximity to it. Love the ambience, friendly staff & the food was very good. I had the chopped brisket sandwich & my husband had the pulled pork, each with a side salad, that was huge, & a large helping of kettle chips. We would definitely recommend both sandwiches! Also, the portions were very generous! If you go away hungry, that’s on you. We didn’t try any of the beers, but they had a good selection & I’d like to go back & give some a whirl.”
“I came to this place for some boba tea. I ordered green tea bubble tea, while my girlfriend opted for mocha bubble tea. Both drinks were delicious. The establishment is clean, and the staff is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about the menu items.”
“First time trying A & B Pizza and it was delicious, hot, perfectly prepared dough and Barb was very delightful and attentive as well as the whole staff was efficient, and eager to make sure we were good. Barb allowed us time to eat our pies before bringing out the dessert's! Large selection of food and beverages, lots of sides reasonably priced.I got the 12" House Special and had it deep dished w/black olives.(pictured)For dessert I got the Blueberry pizza...(pictured) crumbly, ooey, gooey, warm and flavorful as could be. Lots of street and parking lot parking, looked to be wheelchair accessible also. Great job A & B Pizza!”
“Sazón has quickly become our favorite restaurant in Bismarck. We’ve always had great and quick service and the food has always been fantastic. I highly recommend!P.S. try the new Sazón fries!”
“I really love this place. The owner is cool as well. Great events. Please try the bread and the salad with gorgonzola. My new regular spot with the hubby for dates.”
“Stopped in on an early arrival before a flight out of BIS. It was our first time in, though we had sampled some wines at pride at Dakota. We were offered countless tastings and purchased 2 bottles. The suggestions were good choices, based on our preference information we provided. Pricing was reasonable and flavors varied, with a wide range to meet the tastes of non-wine-lovers & avid wine-drinkers ss well.”
“I did arrive a little early for their dinner menu,that I was looking forward to,but I was not disappointed at all with their lunch menunow it just gives me a reason to go back there a second time and a third and a fourth!! ?”
“I'd rate this place a little higher than others have. Just because it's always a hospitable environment. If your a man's man sports playing on every TV. They have bar bingo and a small casino (eg., pull tabs, blackjack and slots)!!!”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“This Bigboy is known in Bismarck for a reason, much different than the main chain. So much so that most people here don't realize theirs more bigboy restaurants.”
“Adorable shop, very nicely decorated and very clean. The owner was our barista; she was very friendly. The Mocha Bianca had a good flavor, but the coffee flavor was a bit too mild for my husband’s taste. I loved my Mint Mocha, which had the perfect hint of mint. There were other customers in the café, but it wasn’t too busy at 10:00 am on a Saturday. Service was fast. Overall, I highly recommend it.”
“We got 3 sandwiches (Reuben, 2 avocado turkey) and we absolutely loved it. Service was amazing, we used the drive thru and had a short wait. Perfect road trip food.”
“I haven't had fast food in years because the oil most of them use makes me feel terrible. Since Scotty's is using beef tallow, I decided to try a meal. The food tasted great, they were so fast, and the best part is I did not feel sick afterwards. I appreciate th large menu as well. My only feedback is that I wish they had fancier buns like sourdough buns and more dessert choices. Otherwise, a great place when you want a fast easy meal.”
“Any Taco John that I have been at Bismarck Mandan Dickinson their food is always good I've never had to take food back to this place I've always had a pleasant time eating there they always give extra condiments if you ask been eating at places like this here since I was a kid always like Taco John's food”
“Visited Dunn Brothers Coffee on July 3rd while on a road trip. We went there thinking here's a regular coffee place to grab a quick sandwich. Let me start by saying that Dunn Bros. has officially ruined grilled cheese sandwiches for me. The Bacon Grilled Cheese was AMAZING!!! This grilled cheese has cheddar, Swiss, parmesan, Muenster cheeses with roasted red pepper, bacon, tomato, and pesto aioli on toasted multi-grain bread. It was DELICIOUS! Also ordered a pistachio muffin for the road and it was SO FRESH! I wanted to kick myself for not ordering two. They had a good sized international and specialty coffee selection. As I am not a coffee drinker, I had iced fruit tea. It was refreshing. The sandwich comes with chips, added muffin and tea and the cost was a pretty reasonable $20. The employees at this location were friendly but busy, as they also have a drive thru. The location was very clean, including the restroom. Just based on the freshness of the food, I would definitely not hesitate to go back if I were in the area.”
“They called when I asked for no raw tomatoes, to see if it was an actual allergy or just an aversion. That made them the most aware fast food place I've ever encountered, and I appreciate it more than you guys will ever likely know.”
“Best McDonald's in Bismarck. I get Iced coffees at all locations and this is the only location that gets it perfect every time! The staff is also super stellar!Kid-friendliness: Great play area for kids”
“3pm so inside was not busy at all. Drive thru was busy. The app deals are definitely worth it. Depending on the crew I've had really good luck with everything behind on the bag and then asking if I needed any extra. Yesterday I got the bag with just the food And had to ask for sauces, etc.Parking: The parking area is more holes than surface area. Maybe not, but seems that way trying to drive through the lot to park.Wheelchair accessibility: Decent handicapped parking.”
“Went through drive thru last night. Ordered 4 shakes and 2 fish sandwiches. They were the best fish sandwiches I've had in a while. Very hot very fresh. Kudos to arbys night crew I was very impressed!”
“This restaurant is just as awesome as the one in Jamestown! Me and mom stopped here today and wow omg that was SO tasty! We at least I will stop here again sometime!”
“First time there; very similar to Taco Bell in quality, quantify and price. Hot sauce was good but we used close to two dozen for two people-they're small and underfilled!”
“Dale made my food and it was perfect!! I've told many people to go to the 3rd St Taco John's!Parking: I am a bicycle rider and it would be more convenient if y'all had a bike rack. I have to Lock my bike up on the front patio which makes it in the way of people sitting out there. Thank you”
“Fast and friendly service. I haven't gotten cold fries from this place in years. The interior definitely feels a little dated, but I always get it to go anyway.”
“We bought a Cookies and Creme Blizzard Icecream cake for my sons Bday and it was amazing!!! Definitely recommend! FYI I decorated it after purchase ?. They do offer writing on all cakes though!”

Cheap Eats
“Mayas Mexican is one of ND’s Best Mexican restaurants in all of Bismarck.If you’re looking for authentic Mexican food this is it. Carnitas are to die for!Generous portions for all their meals.Margaritas will make you relax and enjoy your experience all the more. They are very generous with their alcohol in their drinks!Every employee is professional and good at their job attending to your requests.I’ve been to Mexico many times and had many great meals, Mayas is an extremely similar experience, perfecto!”
“As someone that is extremely picky about my coffee, I was extremely pleased the first time I visited 12 Stones. The coffee tastes wonderful, the atmosphere is warm and cozy yet modern, and the service is great. They also have easy parking which I appreciate when I am in a hurry. I wish they had more pastries and treats but aside from that 5 out of 5! Needless to say, I have become a regular customer and rate this as a top coffee shop in Bismarck. Also, this is a locally owned coffeeshop and the owners are wonderful which is a nice bonus... knowing that you are supporting a small locally owned business when you visit this coffeeshop.”
“These may be fighting words but I'll go ahead and say this is the best place in Bismarck to get burritos.Parking: It's joined with a petrol convenient store so there's plenty of parking.Wheelchair accessibility: There's a double wide door to get in the convenient store and a double wide entryway into Cali burrito ?”
“Food is delicious and comes so fast. The staff is very kind. Tons of combinations on the menu. Beers are big and the margaritas are fantastic. Can get pretty busy but they move tables quick. Very good!”
“Always a great place to eat, breakfast lunch or dinner. Not huge inside but they accommodate alot of people quickly. Breakfast was great and reasonable. I'll go back again.”
“We had Lucky’s/Main Bar do our bar for our wedding and they were fantastic! Several positive comments about Tanya and Bryan about drinks, cleanliness, and promptness during our wedding/party. Bryan was very on top of things prior to the wedding and had excellent communication. We had all of the alcohol that we had asked for and more. Our venue was out of town on a private farm and they came extra prepared! Drinks were ice cold and service was impeccable. I would absolutely recommend them to serve at any event! 10/10!”
“So I ordered on DoorDash, so this review is strictly foodOverall, the place is pretty good. I’m a Texan, so texmex and authentic Mexican is some of my favorite cuisine. Their ingredients are TOP tier fresh. Chips, salsa, meat, queso ??The only major criticism (keyword MAJOR) is flavor. Salsa, tacos all lacking lots of flavoring. You can taste the freshness of the veggies, tortillas, and meat, but not much else. There were also items like Horchata and Consume for my taco missing.The dessert was the strawberries and cream. It’s like a melted ice cream sundae with chocolate, liquid horchata, a cherry, and chopped strawberries. It was ok.Overall, the only criticism are spices. But I do recommend this spot, though pricey on DD.?Must try’s:Tacos (esp lengua and birria)MENUDO ??????Queso and chips”
“Great place! The Owners are great people. Super friendly and the food is always very tasty. Always very clean and well kept and oldies but goodies music playing tops it off!”
“Salad bar is excellent many choices of toppings, out daughter had a bacon cheese burger and loved every bite, have eaten there several times and they've never done me wrong especially in the food quality department, and price is great for the amount of food you get with platter's.Kid-friendliness: Plenty of options for children.”
“When we walked in it is really a clean place and calm atmosphere. But most importantly we definitely got our money's worth. This is by far WAAYYYY better than STARBUCKS. We appreciate the extra steps you guys take to make every customer feel welcomed!”
“There is no other BBQ that can even closely compare with this place. Absolute perfection. Also the best potato salad I have ever had in my life and I'm really picky about my potato salad, blown away with the first bite.”
“Place was great,the line moves fast ,lots of seating and parking ,arcade is cool for the kids,bathrooms were clean(needed to be a bit bigger), place has a lot of rooms so ask and mabey you could rent one for meetings n stuff ,.food was great ,the chicken was good .look up at the salad bar and you may find some dressing.the chicken and desert was great and most importantly the huge assortment of buffet pizza was superb and its a pizza buffet.”
“I finally got a chance to stop in the new store and was so impressed! Warmly greeted like family, comfortable space to enjoy coffee with a friend, and a delicious latte. Such a lovely way to get away from the chaos right now! This will be a regular stop for me now, for sure!”
“It's my favorite bar in Bismarck for sure. Great food and service, and a great place to watch the game. Game audio and/or music is loud enough to hear but not so loud that you have to shout when talking to your friends.”
“I visit this location at least once a week. It’s right near my office so it’s super convenient! I order ahead in the app & I love it!! Gail is so cheery in the morning and always greets me with a smile!! The coffee & the food are always amazing!! ?”
“I'll start with my only complaint, they should fix whatever needs to be fixed with the restrooms, as some days you're nearly knocked out by the scent of sewage as you enter the store. That pesky detail aside, we are quite happy with our plus membership, even with the 2hr drive. I know, I know, that seems illogical. Hear me out. We get free shipping to ourselves, friends & family when shopping online. The squirrels need nuts, bam, here in 2 days and I don't have to leave the house. That's faster than a "prime order" &, honestly, faster than me going to a local store. I'd put it off as long as possible. Soup for the grandparents, done. Kids low on snacks, check. Fireplace- that took a little longer than 2 days... but, still. For the online options alone it's worth the membership for us. Every few months we also make a trip to shop the store, or when already in town we swing in. 5lbs of goat cheese for the price of 6oz locally? Yes, please! We stock up on freezer items during our periodic visits & on specidic produce whenever we're in town. The scan & go option is FANTASTIC- no checkout lanes to deal with. We simply scan the items as we add them to the bags/boxes in the cart. Swipe to pay & show our QR code on exit. We haven't had a lot of waste, or issues with expiration dates close- in & we've never had to use customer service. So far, so good, many years running.”
“Fun place to grab a meal or just a drink with friends. Everyone that works there is very friendlyVegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian options for my sisterDietary restrictions: Plenty of Gluten free items and substitutes”
“Stayed for two nights, room was not cleaned after first night. One of the lamps in the room would not work, no wash clothes in the bathroom and only two towels. Bathroom did not have a fan, so everything gets dripping wet when taking a hot shower. Not a big deal but it does get my attention. Room did not have a guide to the hotel services and amenities. We did have an advanced reservation, yet it seemed to take slightly longer than I would expect to get checked in. We made the reservation via Expedia, and I have noticed that we always seem to get one of the least desirable locations for the actual room. I say this because I have noticed a difference in the whole process when booking directly with Radison vs other booking options. Seems to be intentional. Staff was great, room was comfortable. I am nit picking, mainly because basically they did a good job.”
“Wow this place was an absolute delight! The service was amazing and the food was top notch!! We had a burger and steak. Both were done to perfection! We also splurged on desert! A lemon tres leches cake!! it had a nice cozy atmosphere for being labeled a grill and tavern. Thoroughly enjoyed this place and will definitely go back when in Bismarck”
“Our goto place for warm sandwiches. The philly steak is my fav but I've liked every type of sandwich, my wife likes the ranch chicken. Proportions are good, they're never shy on fries. They're always generous on toppings so if you don't want too much make sure to say so.”
“I had the Bacon Bourbon Burger. It was perfectly cooked and was the BEST burger I have ever had. We had fried cheese curds with their homemade ranch and bought some ranch to take home. The place was not busy and had super friendly staff.”

“I purchased the Pretzel Crust Pizza the pizza itself was good the crust on the other hand was not good it was so salty it was disappointing for my family. The pizza didn’t look like the commercials. I don’t blame the workers I blame the Little Caesar’s itself.”
“Much improved over last visit... food was great, servers friendly just had to find any server when ours didn't check back in after dropping off food.. so drinks ran out.. some of the order was missing.. but got it fixed”

“Different selection weekly! Kind of on the pricey side but makes sense for the size of cookie! Peach Pie was so surprisingly good! Considering the size and freshness I was able to get on these for a few days! Would recommend”
“I had the Guinness Irish Stew. I loved the flavor; texture and it was full of tender chunks of meat. Maybe I am just greedy but would have loved a bigger serving portion of this stew- LOL. I do love beef stew. Not necessarily a complaint, but the lighting in some areas of the restaurant is dim, otherwise a good place to dine. Our server was friendly and came back to check on us often. This place can be busy on the weekends, so go early if you can make it. You may have to drive around for a bit to find a parking spot, so expect to do some walking.”
“So My family and I just moved to Bismarck, ND a few weeks ago and My Husband decided to take me to lunch. I've never had Indian food so he suggested I try it. I'm not gonna lie, I was a bit nervous because I always associated Indian with spicy. I could not have been more wrong! We started off with the lamb kabobs, since I had never had lamb before either. It was different. It was good and the green sauce definitely helped it taste better. Then we had the chicken Tikka Masala for the meal and the garlic Naan. Yes yes yes!!!! It was absolutely delicious! The chicken was tender, the rice was cooked to perfection, and the Naan just tied everything in perfectly! I will definitely be back to order this again! 10/10 for sure!”
“Great food and great service, but I have to subtract a star for the relatively dim lighting. My older associate and another older gentleman across the aisle both had to pull out their smartphones for additional light. The soup was great, and so was the pesto. My associate really liked his steak but was mildly disappointed that they didn't have Summit despite the neon sign for it above the bar.”
“I came in for dinner, and was greeted warmly by my server. She got my drink and order quickly, which was very nice. The food came out fast, and was piping hot. I am very glad to have stopped in. I was offered dessert, and I took it of course. And it was delicious. I will definitely be back! Great service, and good food!”
“Love eating at Chick-fil-A. We're transplants from NC, so we've missed one of our favorites. Thank you for having sweet tea! Food is always good and filling. The staff are wonderful!”
“Our server Rhonda is the best server I've ever had. Me and my grandma always come in and love it when we get her for our server. She is very attentive to the people she serves and she definitely remembers faces that she has had multiple times. Like today she greeted us with our usual coffee and waters and she even remembered what creamer we like. She is definitely a great employee”
“For "fast" food, I think it's a much better alternative than burgers, healthier, keeps for left-overs, cheaper, my only complaint is that every time I go it's, at least, a 20 minute wait in the drive-threw, and depending on the time of day, sometimes much more, and I really don't understand why when the food is already ”
“Customer service is great and so is the food! Delicious, fresh and highly presentable. We love coming here to eat. The dry noodle dishes are the best. Thank you, ja bomb.”
“Mayas Mexican is one of ND’s Best Mexican restaurants in all of Bismarck.If you’re looking for authentic Mexican food this is it. Carnitas are to die for!Generous portions for all their meals.Margaritas will make you relax and enjoy your experience all the more. They are very generous with their alcohol in their drinks!Every employee is professional and good at their job attending to your requests.I’ve been to Mexico many times and had many great meals, Mayas is an extremely similar experience, perfecto!”
“Great food, the portion sizes were large. I got the Chori Pollo plate and my boyfriend got the Carnitas. The made to order guacamole was fantastic. The drinks were delicious.We went on a Thursday around 7 and they were packed, heard from a few other people waiting that this place is always busy. We had about a 20 minute wait to get seated.Parking: Parking wasn’t too hard to find, the lot around the restaurant was very full.”
