Parking: If the lot is full, so is the bar.“

“Great atmosphere and staff“

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

“First time visiting this restaurant and I loved it. The decor is really cute and modern and there is great art up on the walls. There is also a cute photo wall! We went for lunch and I ordered El Tres off the lunch menu. It was delicious. I also thought there was a ton of food for a really reasonable price. The staff were all friendly. There was a guacamole station that could make fresh guac at your table. We didn't try this, but I plan to in the future.“

“loved all the shows I have watched there. the chairs stink tho.“

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

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

“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“

“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!!“

“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 new place in Fargo. good location, food, service!“

“great lunch spot...daily specials!“

“Great food and beer list.“

“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“

“The Sons of Norway is an absolute gem of Fargo, open to everybody, members and non-members (membership is only $5/month to support the club). From their tasty lunches consisting of hearty food and homemade pies made by passionate volunteers to the unique events and live music in the one-of-a-kind Troll Lounge, the Sons of Norway is a local staple for tasty food, classic drinks, charming events, and historical heritage that locals and travelers alike definitely need to check out. Don't forget to sign the guest book and take a picture with the trolls!“

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

“Really great staff, everyone is friendly and even on busier nights they are fast at making Delicious drink. I would say everyone has to check out the live from Thursday - Saturday nights, specials all the time mixed with Excellent service.

Parking: The parking lot is big, and there is a second lot/overflow right behind the building.“

“The girl with the Leg Tattoo was very sweet and provided great service. I asked if I could turn the firepit on and she said it was too windy and was a fire hazard to which I obliged and didn't throw a temper tantrum for being told no. Also very cute bartenders.“

“Cowboy Jacks was such a good addition to the downtown area. It's nice to see how much work they put into their country style atmosphere, with the decorations and tables. I love the happy hour special, which is daily for half off apps and $'s off beer and typically make it in once a week. Staff is always very friendly and goes above & beyond to remember your drinks if they see you enough.“

“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!“

“if you wanna drink before 11am this is the place! great service, and a "bar dog"“

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

“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 wife and I came here Saturday evening. As usual I was impressed with the atmosphere of Granite City. It has a nice upscale modern feel too it. We were seated quickly, where in the past even during slower times we have had to wait a little bit. After being seated our drink orders were taken quickly and I was happy to see they had an Octoberfest Menu. I ordered Spaezle (Pasta) with a Pork Schnitzel. My wife ordered the pot roast. The presentation of the food was very professional. The taste however of both our meals were overpowered with salt. It was not enough to return the meal but it was enough to make a comment to our waitress in hopes this is passed on to the kitchen.
Overall our experience this trip was nice and pleasant. The prices are fair and what one would expect.“

“drinks are solid jalapeño poppers were fantastic pinball machines work but are absolutely filthy on the playfields. they very badly need new balls, cleaning and waxing.“

“Awesome tacos and drinks!!“

“Hands down, two of the best soups I've ever tasted! Lasagna soup? Who knew! Then I went for the Shepard Stew soup! Mind boggling delicious. Sheri was a fabulous waitress. Kind, courteous, and unbelievably patient with my indecisive self. The menu is nothing I'd ever expected in a truck stop! If you're tired of the fast food BS in most truck stops, this is a must see to believe. I'll definitely be coming back.“

“We went for a leisurely lunch and weren't disappointed. We had the lunch specials, a double hamburger with fries and a salad, for 8 dollars for me. My wife had the chicken fajitas for 9 dollars. The food came very fast, with excellent service. The hamburger had good flavor and wife enjoyed the fajitas. Her only complaint was the peppers and onions should have been cooked longer, they were harder then crisp. As a recap, a good meal.
On 11/4/24 stopped in for dinner. It's the first time the food was substandard . The chili my wife ordered tested old, super dark. She returned. I ordered French dressing for my salad, they were out. I ordered the crispy chicken, and my wife ordered chicken crisper. Those were good, and really hot. As in right out of the fryer. BUT the fries were cols. As in hardly even any warmth. It was pretty disappointing. We are usually very happy with the food. The service was good anyway.“
