“We have been loyal customers for years however our experience last Saturday for the Bison game has turned us to other locations for watching the game . The tall manager was so obnoxious. He was watching a different game than the Bison. Even though everyone in the bar was occupied with Bison fans. He was shouting so loud we were unable to hear the speakers for the Bison. Several people were asking him to tome it down. Finally one of the other Bison fans told him to go downstairs to watch his game. We are sad we need to find a different location for the games but we will not be back“

“Went in for a quick drink and ended up staying a little longer than I planned. The mini bar has a nice laid-back feel and the staff was friendly without being overbearing. There wasn't a huge selection, but they had enough options to find something I liked. The place was clean and the music volume was just right, so it was easy to relax and chat. Prices seemed pretty fair too. Overall, it was a pleasant experience and I'd probably come back when I'm in the area again.“

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

“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!“

“Had a good experience. The chicken tacos were flavorful, fresh, and delicious. The elotes were also a standout, perfectly seasoned and packed with flavor. The chips and salsa were a good addition also. Salsa was flavorful and the chips were fresh. Everything was presented nicely and the atmosphere was comfortable. Overall, great food and a great experience. The staff were nice and friendly and came over multiple times to see how we were doing. Definitely recommend checking this place out! You will not be disappointed!“

“Great atmosphere and staff“

“Visited to watch some people I know perform. Severe are friendly! The atmosphere is good and live music seems to be regular, but there is a strong regular group that notices if you're new, and bar is cash only; we didn't know and almost couldn't pay for our drinks.“

“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!“

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

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

“I went in with a couple friends on a Friday night and ended up staying way longer than we planned. The place had a really good vibe without feeling too crowded or chaotic. Bartenders were cool and actually paid attention even when it got busy, which I appreciated. Drinks came out quick and tasted solid, not watered down like some places do. Music was at a good level too, loud enough to keep the energy up but you could still hold a conversation. Overall just a comfortable spot to hang out and unwind. I'd def come back again sometime.“

“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!“

“I went here for lunch and dinner. Lunch got the pizza, it’s huge. Bartender was cool but a bit sarcastic, almost offensive. At night I came back for drinks and walleye bites. The food was great and the bar tender Cassie should get an award. She is amazing! Absolutely dominating that bar making sure everyone in the area was taken care of. Not sure her position but if she’s not management, she should be.
Overall great place. Pizza had to be eaten with fork as it is too soft to pick it up. It was very good though“

“great lunch spot...daily specials!“

“As a time traveler, this is urgent, when world war 3 breaks out, everyone go here. I will work out fine. The tennis players will not get you! The barbers will not get you! Fried turkey will not get you! Trust Me! 5 stars(great Dr. Pepper as well :)“

“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.“

“Nice dive bar. Would go there again.“

“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!“

“Very relaxing environment“

“We had a great time with the exceptional staff, Eric the KJ (karaoke jocky), better know as Erioke--forgive possible misspelling.
We came on Thursday 18 June AD/CE 2026 around 10:15 pm and left around 1:15 am Friday 19 June.
Eric is very encouraging, and fluently moves from song to song.
Tonight was bery popular , sonwhen you go, pit your song requests in early or you may not get a chance to sing. Many singers had superb voices and the variety of genres was great.
Not sure why they don't sell food, so consider coming with a full belly, especially if you are a normal drinker. I wanted to tip the bartender with my debit card for the lemon waters, because she needs to make a living, but she politely and with kindness declined.“

“I want to send a massive thank you to the staff and management of Fargo Billiards & Gastropub ! They hosted us for Tim Green 60th Birthday party / Connor Hanson send off. Every single staff member was swamped as there were at least 100 people in there for pool league as well as our parties. NOT one of them complained and they were all busting butt to make our night so perfect! At the end of the night they comped the party room to honor Connor and our beloved soldiers. That kind of generosity and moral good is still out there folks! We will NEVER use anyone else for our parties and we are now going to make a point of frequent visits to our favorite place in Fargo! Thanks again to you all for coming out and thank you even bigger to the best staff of anywhere in Fargo!“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“Came in for dinner the other night and it was a pretty good experience overall. The place has a nice casual vibe, nothing too fancy but still comfortable. I ordered a burger with fries and it tasted fresh, maybe a little salty but still good. Portions were decent, I didn’t leave hungry thats for sure. Service was a bit slow at first but once we got our server, things moved along fine. Prices felt fair for what you get. Not the best meal I’ve ever had, but def solid and I’d go back again sometime.“

“Had a great experience at Granite City in Fargo! The veggie burger was delicious, and it was great to see several other vegetarian options on the menu. Our server, Nadir, was fantastic—very friendly, attentive, and provided excellent service. We really enjoyed our visit and would definitely come back again!“

“We had an absolutely wonderful time today with our server KJ. She was the kindest person we have encountered in a restaurant in a long time. She made the entire experience a 10/10. Yes they were a little busy but she made sure to continue to update us on food or drinks and brought refills without needing to even ask. She was an absolute gem.“
