“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.”

“The pretzel bites are always delicious. We had ribs that falls off the bone and a huge California avocado salad with raspberry vinaigrette dressing. There was no way I could eat it all. The manager stopped by asking if everything was okay, because I gasped at how huge the salad was. I said yes, it was just surprising to sees huge salad with sliced hard boiled eggs and bacon bits. I should have taken a picture! It was beautiful.”

“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.”

“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.”

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.

“Just a great place to be yourself at. Next to the college. Diversity of people. Not over run by any one group. I think the food is really good from plating and presenting it to the table, taste, cook time, and portions are worth the price. A night out with the boy, ladies night group outing, mom dad and the kids, Bros Broski's and Brew. Right for any of this and the him and her. Try it and enjoy”

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.

“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!”

“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”

30 Wild Bill's Sports Saloon - Fargo

4.2 Good 358 Reviews

1776 45th Street South, Fargo

• Take-Out

“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.”

“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.”
