40 Best American Restaurants in Bismarck

“Very delicious food!!! polite and helpful waiters“

“Had a FANTASTIC bowl of beef ramen here the other day … VERY flavorful. The serving staff is also always top notch. Also very affordable in my opinion. New favorite small business in town to support . Check them out !“

“This is one of our favorite lunch spots. The food is consistently good. The staff is friendly. There are plenty of TVs.“

“the battered chicken melts in your mouth. super delicious.“

“We had our work holiday party in the Board Room. The wait staff was beyond amazing and friendly. The food was great as well! This was was personally my first time there and I will be back!“

“Fantastic food! Inside and outside of this establishment is very clean and neat. Friendly staff and food is very fairly priced. Love the menu. Might just be our new favorite in Bis!“

“The thing that stood out to me most about Lucky 13’s Pub is how it managed to cater to both families and adults. When you walk in there is a toy chest where kids can take a toy to entertain themselves while you eat. But they also had bingo happening so adults could drink and play. It’s a big space so you don’t really hear kids if they are being loud. There is a great bar area too in case you don’t want to be anywhere near kids too.
The service was fantastic and the food was really good too. Plus their happy hour has giant mugs of beer for only $5 which is an insane deal in my opinion.

Vegetarian options: I didn’t see a ton of vegetarian options, but I also didn’t look very hard

Parking: I’ve never had an issue finding parking

Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly

Wheelchair accessibility: All one level and tables are spaced well. Bar is high so that would no be accessible for wheelchairs“

“love eating here! awesome food!server Alicia is working it and on top it!“

“The food is always good and the service is ok. But checking out after eating is a pain. Never enough cashiers. Last week one man got tired of waiting and walked out without paying.“

“Maggie was the best server I’ve ever had she was so nice an caring, if I could have her every time I went there I would go there everyday!“

“My family never seems to have much luck when going out to eat any more but the Ground Round in Bismarck delivered. We were seated quickly, had good service, and our food came out quickly and correct. I will make sure to support this business in the future!“

“A staple for Bismarck locals. Consistent good food and kind staff. Our server Kyleigh this last visit was an absolute delight. Kind, caring and told us “no rush to pay enjoy each other company and take your time to visit.” She was the most pleasant server I have had in Bismarck/Mandan recently.“

“Stopped in to Applebee's and were immediately greeted by the hostess. Once seated, we were told the specials and given time to look at the menus. Shortly after that the manager Stopped at our table to see how we were doing. She was very professional and pleasant. We ordered and received our drinks and food in a very timely manner. Drinks were outstanding and the food delicious. Will definitely be going back.“

“microwaved French fries... $14 rewarmed crunchy piece of lasagna... $24 rock hard day old garlic bread..$4.99 The only good thing was the service, however there were barely any customers so should expect good service! Never Again!“

“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.“

“The owner/bartender is exceptionally nice and personable. The wine wall is a cool & unique touch- try a bunch of different wines or grab a cocktail or beer if wine isn’t your thing. I didn’t eat but all the food coming by looked very good. Live jazz music was really enjoyable at the end of the work day. Definitely worth a visit!“

“This place is awesome and OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. A fair warning, they are always (seemingly) playing monastery choir music throughout the WHOLE building.

Dietary restrictions: They have an entire area dedicated to people with dietary restrictions and allergies.

Parking: While the parking is intended for campus users, there is plenty of parking for other patrons as well.

Kid-friendliness: Our experience with the crow's nest was excellent. They had wonderful options for kids and adults alike. The staff were also extremely friendly towards my son.“

“Our family experience "THE" BEST CARAMEL ROLLS ever! Fresh bakery from cookies, bread, bagels(put them on the map) and great services. Breakfast & Lunch is SPOT-ON!“

“We were happy to find a place with vegan options (not many choices in Bismarck). Overall it was good... not great, but good. I appreciate having a few vegan protein choices as well. Portion sizes were solid, and the containers are heart shaped AND reusable ? We were just passing thru North Dakota, but I would return if we were ever in town again. Recommend this spot for my fellow vegan travelers ✌️??“

“good food at a great price“

“We had a work function in the 701 Lounge this week. Everyone had a wonderful experience. Danna the manager had everything for us set up perfectly. The Bartenders (Jordan and Paige) were very attentive, even though our string ordering was probably annoying, lol. The entire crew will definitely be back.“

“food yesterday was good as usual tho my butter bun looked like someone sat on it..“

“Excellent food and service was second to none. The cottage cheese kuchen was frozen but the caramel apple kuchen was very good.“

“had the fish & chips ! was delicious as usual!! can't forget the cucumber Margaritas!! yummy yummy!!“

“This is a must visit place when visiting Bismarck.
So much history, great service and food.
Support local businesses. This place is part of what makes North Dakota great.
Our sever Christopher( I hope I got that right) was above and beyond in terms of service and charm.
I had the breakfast skillet it was great.“

“food was fresh and delicious minus missing hash browns“

“First impressions walking in, the restaurant was very clean. Hostesses were very nice and greeted us with a smile. Our server was Dillan. He was very professional and worked in a timely fashion. I had a dragon fruit margarita. Bartender rimmed my glass with salt which should have been sugar for such a fruity drink. No big deal. Then I noticed something stuck to the inside of my glass. I asked Dillan for a new glass, which he brought to me (now rimmed in sugar, at least the bartender corrected themselves this time) only, I didn't get a new drink... my fault for not specifying, guess. I will gladly take that fault as all of the staff who was working tonight were very polite and all seemed to enjoy being there.
I'll give them a 9 out 10. Definitely will come back!“

“Great late night dining- can’t wait til they are 24 hours again!! 😉“

“had the fish & chips ! was delicious as usual!! can't forget the cucumber Margaritas!! yummy yummy!!“

“definitely will be coming back. end of a busy day so they were out of the more popular things but i ended up getting a cajun chicken and it was amazing. great service too“

“Sandwiches are made to order. Fill out your choices on the bag and get your sides. They make the sandwiches fresh every time. They have a few dessert items, cookies and such.

Dining area is a little small. Small self-serve refill counter. Bathrooms in the far back.

Had some fun and got cookies for a couple of law enforcement officers who were having lunch.

Great place to get a sandwich!“

“Stopped for lunch. Had special of boneless wings, riblets, and shrimp. No dessert. Very good service. Met by hostess at entrance who informed me, since I had a walking cane, that the floor is very slippery for those that use canes. You could tell she was telling the truth and no, I didn't fall. Be careful though if you have a cane.“

“so sad. continued to interrupt me when I triied to order. would never let me finish. so I offered to go elsewhere, and was told to "get lost"“

“Christopher was our server on 11/16/24 he was excellent, he knew the menu and knew what page and where everything was. My wife and I highly recommend Christopher as a server next time we're asking for Christopher to be our server.“

“The wait staff and cooks are great but the manager or hoestes whatever she is sat down at a table and talked to the people and did nothing to help her staff.“

“Server was amazing- joked with us and was very attentive. Steaks were cooked to our request. Sides were plentiful. Shared sides and I had appetizers for my meal so shared those also. Fried pickles with cheese and bacon were very good. Pretzel was large enough for all 6 of us to share.“

“We were just at Perkins(North) and had one of the BEST experiences with a server we have EVER had! Victoriy was absolutely FANTASTIC! She was on top of her game, attentive and so funny! We had numerous “laugh out loud” moments and our whole group had nothing but great things to say! The food was great and SHE made our dining experience one for the record books! Thank you for the wonderful meal and atmosphere, Victoriy and staff. You were amazing 🤩“

“overall it's a great place.“

“Great wings Nachos and dos xx beer GREAT SERVICE!!“
