“They best Jamaican restaurant I food I Minot great food clean and friendly Well recommended ❤️”

“Coming from California with the abundance of food choices there, I was pleasantly surprised to have found one of the best Caribbean restaurants this far up north. The owner and the workers are friendly. The food is top notch. I’ve been in Minot for 7 days and I’ve visited this place 4 times already. Their food is like a warm hug to the soul!”

“There are dessert shops… and then there are places that feel like they’ve legally weaponized sugar. This establishment falls firmly into the latter category.

Let’s begin with a public service announcement: if you have a complicated relationship with sugar, self-control, or buttons on your pants, you may want to approach with a strategy—or at the very least, a loose waistband. This is not a place you “try.” This is a place you accidentally develop a weekly relationship with. One visit turns into two, two turns into “they know my order,” and suddenly you’re justifying dessert like it’s a necessary life supplement.

The cookies themselves? Enormous. Not “oh that’s a big cookie,” no—these are the kind of cookies that make regular cookies look like they skipped leg day. Each one sits there in the box like it knows exactly what it’s doing to you. Confident. Unbothered. Slightly judging you, but also inviting you closer. Finishing one feels less like eating a dessert and more like completing a personal challenge that no one asked you to attempt—but you’re committed now.

And the flavor rotation? That’s where things get borderline diabolical. Every week, a new lineup appears like a carefully curated trap. Just when you think you’ve built resistance—boom, something new, something bold, something that sounds like it shouldn’t work but absolutely does. It’s the kind of menu that makes you stand there longer than you should, pretending to evaluate, when in reality you’ve already decided you’re getting more than you planned. It’s not variety—it’s strategic temptation.

Now let’s talk about the texture and consistency, because this is where the operation really flexes. These cookies are thick, rich, and engineered with the precision of something that absolutely did not happen by accident. Soft in places, structured in others—like they hired an architect who specializes in emotional damage. Every bite feels intentional. Suspiciously intentional. To the point where you start wondering if there’s a secret ingredient that isn’t listed but is definitely doing some heavy lifting behind the scenes.

Milk—let’s address it—is not a suggestion. It is a requirement. These cookies demand balance, and without some form of liquid backup, you’re essentially going into a heavyweight match untrained. Whether it’s dairy or a substitute, you will need something to keep the experience from escalating into a full-blown “I made a mistake” moment halfway through.

And yet, despite the chaos and sheer indulgence of it all, there is a consistent level of quality that deserves real credit. Every cookie looks like it belongs in a display case. Every box feels like it was packed with purpose. There’s pride here, even if it’s wrapped in a slightly mischievous delivery system.

At the end of the day, this place is not pretending to be healthy, balanced, or even remotely subtle. It knows exactly what it is—and it leans all the way in. It’s indulgent, it’s excessive, it’s a little bit ridiculous… and that’s precisely why it works.

You don’t go here because you need a cookie. You go here because, for a brief moment, you’ve decided that self-control is more of a guideline than a rule—and honestly, that might be the most honest decision you make all week.”

“Great pizza and always fast and friendly service.

Ordering ahead is great. Walk in and get greeted quickly and then walk out with your order. It is great.”

“Charlie’s is a great place to eat! Staff is always so friendly and welcoming. The food is always top notch and fairly large portions and the Carmel rolls are to die for!! If you want a phenomenal meal go see Tiffany and crew at Charles!!🥰”

“I have always had excellent food at Oishii Ramen. Their ramen bowls are so delicious! The service is friendly, fast and the decor is beautiful. I’ve never been disappointed, and the sushi is great too.”

“My family first went to The Starving Rooster last year for a dine-in going away party, and we’ve been back for dinner multiple times since. I always get the pizza (even though I change it based on what I'm wanting), and it’s always so good. I do enjoy the margherita pizza, though I'm not a fan of the garlic on it. The portions are generous, and the food consistently tastes fresh. The atmosphere is clean, relaxed, and comfortable, which makes it easy to enjoy a meal as a family. Service has been decent every visit, prices feel fair, and ordering is straightforward. They do have a bar, but since we usually bring our daughter, we haven’t explored that side yet. Overall, it’s a great local restaurant and one we’d recommend.”

“The food here is delicious and the employees are very kind and friendly. This is the place where my husband and I always come to eat.”

“It was great. We went on a Saturday evening so it was super busy, estimated wait time was 10-15 minutes. But, they got is in at 5 minutes, and got is all sat really quick. Service was super quirk for as fast for how busy they were. Waitress was very friendly. And 10/10 for the single bartender that was running for the whole restaurant.”

“Cool burger joint - locally owned with fast friendly service. Food was good and fresh. Very clean dining area. Large menu selection with all kinds of ice cream treats. Plan to have dinner again while visiting Minot.”

“We went here tonight. The atmosphere was awesome and the food was even better! Everything we had we loved and the presentation of it all was brilliant too. Absolutely hands down best sushi around!”

“Good people, good juice. Blissful Bee Juicery nails it. Support local.”

“Prairie Sky is truly a gem in the Minot community. The atmosphere of their cafe is wonderful, along with all the delicious breads, drinks, and treats available. Their Jalapeño Cheddar Sourdough is delectable, and their scones are amazing, even when they’re a day old. This is one of the few places where I know they’re using real, high quality ingredients in the food I’m served. I would recommend Prairie Sky Breads to anyone in, or visiting Minot.”

“We are weekend regulars at Perkys. Went though looking for something new to try. She gave a solid recommendation, but I am impressed that she remembered my milk preference! I am dairy free and love the milk alternatives offered here. I had forgot to tell Krista but she was already on the case and was putting oak milk in it. Can’t wait for the next coffee! Best coffee in Minot, FOR SURE!”

“Siempre un placer comer aquí. Tacos, menudo, tilapia o birria. Sazón auténtico y nostálgico de casa. Claro q’no se compara con la comida de mi’amá pero le llega muy cerquita… cuando uno está lejitos de la familia o existe la flojera de guisar pues vayan aquí.”

“Most delicious Reuben sandwich I’ve ever had!”

“great beer Emily was perfect attentive pleasant and seems to love working with the clientele and highly recommend going here”

“Amazing service and drinks!!”

“Amazing service and drinks!!”

“I have eaten at barbecue restaurants across the USA. Not only was this restaurant (Bones BBG, Minot N. Dakota) meal the best, nothing, even comes a close second. I tried to give my son some brisket. I couldn’t because every fork attempt only held a micro piece. That tender. Every fork just fell apart into little pieces. The ribs. Ohh you mean the pork loin steaks covered in nectar sauce from BBQ Heaven? The beans? Ohh you meant the big flavor blasters things dancing with glee in the sauce? The pulled pork? Ohhh you meant that stuff I inhaled like a wild animal? This restaurant should be illegal as it breaks the law on how BBQ is supposed to taste according to any regular competition. Be a criminal and eat here until either your stomach explodes or you can’t fit behind the table anymore. I do not know these people. I just know God & good food.”

“Great food! Great service! My daughter who’s super picky loves this place and I do too!”

“Awesome food and great customer service!”

“Just had Monty's BBQ with my wife and it seriously hit the spot. We tried the brisket, burnt pork ends, pulled pork, and spicy sausage. Every bite was solid but those burnt pork ends were next level. Smoky, sweet, and melt in your mouth soft. I’m honestly mad I didn’t order 2 pounds of them. For sides I had the potato salad, pinto beans, and mac and cheese. All were on point and balanced the meat perfectly. If you're into legit BBQ, Monty's is worth the trip.”

“BBQ dog, pizza burger, Fish & Chips and the shakes are amazing!”

“I've been to this location multiple times per year for more than a decade... Seems pretty consistent. No reason to not stop when it's #MiracleTreatDay or just a random craving day.”

“Love this place! Food is always tasty and hot.(love the chicken strips & calzones) Their delivery is almost always faster than expected, the drivers are always pleasant & respectful.”

“Super friendly and able to explain the options quickly! The White Coffee addition is amazing! Always jump off the train or if in the area drive on up if you ever have a chance!!! You will not be disappointed.”

“Love this place! It’s my go to whenever I’m home from MN!”

“My tried and true favorite spot in Minot. The drinks are creative, fun, tasty, the food is hands down best brekky whether you build your own overnight oats, get a jalapeño cheddar breakfast bagel with fresh eggs and gooey melted cheese, or a chill smoothie. Their creative menu sees a rotation of seasonal flavors and blends complete w/full descriptions of the flavor profile and names. My fave of course is their friendly crew. There is something to be said of a workplace when there isnt employee turnover aside from maybe moving away. The baristas remember you, make you feel valued, seen. super nice humans♡ They have great recommendations.”

“We had our wedding reception here 8-16-25! The owner sherry and event coordinator heidi were super easy to work with and communicate with :) they decorated it exactly how we wanted . And all the bartenders gave good service and wonderful drinks 😁 Highly recommend this place/venue they made our special day extra special 100/10”

“Ruby does a great job! 👍”

“The crepes here are to die for and the caprese lunch sandwich is my favorite. Their coffee is also delicious! Every time I go in, there’s also super fast service even if it’s a little busy and the employees are also super happy and really nice.”

“The owner was Amazing to give me a steak to my perfection its definitely worth it thanks again from Iowa definitely will be comin back again”

“I’ve been having a rough week and I asked if they could make my coffee a little extra special and the staff was so incredibly sweet, kind, and they really delivered on the coffee. Holy cow! It was so, so good. It came out very fast, very high quality, and they had phenomenal customer service.”

“Workers are knowledgeable about the extensive menu and are excited about helping you find something to try. Great atmosphere, authentically kind service, and yummy espresso that you can really taste!”

“Tasty, authentic Mexican food with wonderful staff. We highly recommend!”

“The food was good and customer service was excellent”

“Great food and salad bar. my ribeye was so tender.”

“Never cease to fail I tell ya, burgers, dogs, fries, all of it is amazing, it definitely hits the spot, wether it's after work, during work, maybe on your way to the Lake, Five Guys is definitely a Go-to in my opinion.”

“Christi does a great job! 👍”

“Sara, Ben or Wendy do a great job 👍”

“if you like old bars. this is place to make your self at home. bar maids will keep your drinks coming. before you go MT. pool table, dart boards. lots of electronic casino games. also pizza is good.”

“I’m always very impressed with this location as most of the staff are very young and they all tend to show they care about their job. Today in particular I was very impressed because I walked in and it was so noticeably different that I asked the gentleman behind the counter if they had put in new counters. He explained to me that he had just cleaned them very well and the whole food area and seating areas were also very clean and organized. This young man clearly shows ambition and care also to pass on to his coworkers the importance of doing a good job. He told the other young man putting the toppings on a bowl to do it nicely so that it has good appearance. I was very impressed by that as you don’t always expect that kind of attention to detail at a quick stop take out type of place. Food was excellent and fresh.”

“Best place in town for coffee and love visiting with Margie, Vhonda and Cameron! ❤️”

“This was without a doubt the best Thai food I have ever had (and I love Thai food). The spring rolls had this chili oil dipping sauce that was just divine, like you MUST order these. Then I had the Drunken noodles with beef, husband had the pad se eu, and my daughter (miss picky) devoured a plate of the kids fried rice! and then on top of the amazing food the woman who helped us was an absolute delight. The way she interacted with my daughter will forever be a cherished memory. 10/10 you have to eat here!!”

“We had a surprise party today at Planet Pizza/Sports on Tap (Room 221), and it was AWESOME! Tony was incredible to work with, so friendly and accommodating. He let us in early to decorate and even had everything we needed to set up (including a balloon inflator. Seriously, a total lifesaver! Honestly. I’ll be dreaming of balloons tonight.) The food was perfect, and the entire staff went above and beyond, checking in often to make sure everyone was happy and that we had everything we needed. The bartenders were fantastic as well! Super helpful and it was the perfect set up with either a tab or drink ticket option! It’s also the perfect place for families. The kids ran wild, the adults relaxed, and my dad was completely surprised. Mission accomplished! If you’re ever planning an event book Room 221. You’ll have the best time!”

“My mom lives their and has to be the best senior care, all the employees are GREAT and especially all the nurses and Aides.”

“🙂👍 Joy does a wonderful job!”

“Has everything you could ever want, and entire staff does a great job! 😀👍”

“The Hawaiian version is the way to go. Also, the sizing is very generous. This place is amazing, definitely try it out!”

“Everyone was very nice when I went to eat with my daughter for lunch today! Graig specifically was super awesome and attentive. Might make the South store my go to store instead of the north side store that’s closer to me just because of the awesome service! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽”

“The staff here were so nice and took great care of us! The food was hot and fresh. They accidentally got our order wrong and we had already boarded and they came and found us on the plane! We hadn’t complained and they took the initiative to literally deliver the right sandwich to our seat on the plane! I was blown away! Thank you so much!!! Would recommend!”

“awesome barmaid's and prompt service. would definitely recommend.”

“good cafe good service,❤️”

“Very good doughnuts! Had a lemon filled, the wife's favorite! The old fashioned were great. Did not get a bearscat, not a chocolate fan, but still a great name!”

“Bento Japan in Minot was excellent. The portions were huge—definitely got more than my money’s worth.
The chicken was perfectly crispy, and I absolutely loved both the fried rice and the sesame chicken. Everything was fresh, hot, and full of flavor.
Service was fast and friendly, which made it an easy, enjoyable stop.
If you’re looking for a quick, satisfying meal with big portions, this place is a great choice. I’ll definitely be back.”

“love this bar lots of fun food and great people..Your only a stranger once”

“Some friends and I went to Pink’s last night for dinner. We had Jenniver taking care of us and she was amazing. She went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. From the moment we walked in until the time we left she was great!!”

“I came of vacation to visit my son. He told me about this place since we came out of the airport. Next day, and for the other 3 I order a small vanilla decaf latte. 1 half of the sugar the other one as it is. They were very kind and friendly towards my crazy order everyday. Never failed. Always with a smile. The last day, they already knew my order. The taste of the coffee is amazing. Not even the overpriced known brand is good as this one. Loved this place. Recommend it 1000%”

“Rylee was so professional and she got my drinks at a timely manner and made me feel like I was family. She definitely deserves a raise, one of the best encounters I had with a worker there.”

“Service was the best I've ever had. Friendly and attentive. Food was excellent in flavor. But what struck me was the great presentation. Portions were plentiful. Not a negative to mention about this place. First time dining there and will definitely be back.”

“Obsessed with the cold brew! the only coffee I could ever drink with just sweetners and no added syrup or creamer.”

“their chicken tenders and fries are the best. and I like the potato wedges”

“My wife and I stopped in for drinks, and both the service and the cocktails were top notch. The staff was very friendly and clearly put a lot of care into making excellent drinks.”

“I love the Banana split blizzard with brownie chunks just wish I could actually get some brownie chunks especially since I paid extra for them! Twice now and tonight the gal asked me THREE times what I said and the reciept is correct 🤦🤬 y'all owe me $1.58🤔”

“Top notch! I love Pizza Ranch wherever I go. Minot is the 190th location The Legendary Pizza Ranch Guest ever visited.”

“Shout out to Renee’ at the Minot Denny’s. She was Amazing with a A!”

“amazing food and great service”

“Drinks are so good I couldn’t walk out of there”

“We called the morning of our field trip and needed a place indoors to eat. We brought 25 kids and they had everything set up and ready to go in an hour of us calling. Food was fantastic and kids loved it. Service was fantastic.”

“It’s always a fun time at the Rocking horse”

“Great food. Reasonable prices. And they do so much for the schools and the community in general. One of the staples of Minot”

“Back in California I wasn't a huge fan of Little Ceasars, but ever since moving up to North Dakota I've grown to love it! For such amazingly low prices to get such delicious pizza?! Unheard of in our economy! You can get so much more for 60$ here than any other pizza place! And unlike the common internet criticism, it doesn't taste like cardboard, it is flavourful and delicious like any great pizza should be!”

“I love their jamocha shakes and their brisket sandwiches with horsey sauce.”

“I ordered through the app and picked up at the drive thru. I got one of the Duet meals - tomato soup & Greek salad - and it was delicious. A baguette was included as well.”

“Absolutely 10 out of 10. And Kyle working on the dining area is exactly the type of person you want working FOH! Friendly, presentable really good service is rare in Minot now a days but he definitely delivered.”

“Popeye's in general gets a bad rap for being inconsistent. I've been to the Minot location a handful of times, (I'm in Williston) and it's been consistently good each time. The Spicy Chicken Sandwich is still the king of fast-food sandwiches, the fries were seasoned & cooked well as usual, and I had the surprisingly good cheese bites. (Better than Culvers cheese curds actually)”

“We're quick with a long line and a few drive through orders. Everybody was working hard. Trashes could use some attention but it was very busy. All in all, a good experience.”

“Great pizza, love the beef and green pepper, never had a bad pizza here.”

“Been here a few times on North Hill and the service I have received has always been great, my food hot, and fresh. The veggies on my sandwiches have never been soggy or gross and the drinks are always perfect and not watered down from low bags. Thank you Hardee's!”

“Kristi and the crew are amazing! Been a daily customer for about a year now and they always make my day!”

“I’m a regular customer at this Subway, and overall I enjoy coming here. The staff is usually friendly, and my orders are made quickly. The only issue is that the amount of meat and toppings can be inconsistent. Sometimes my sub is loaded and made perfectly, while other times it has much less than expected. A little more consistency would make every visit a great experience. Overall, it’s still a good place to grab a sandwich.”

“good food and friendly staff”

“Crazy busy this morning with the other location closed and machine issues, this location worked great together to get the drinks out. They were rockin it!!!!”

“Every time I've been here has been a pleasant experience. They can be a bit busy at times but the ice cream is always delicious 😋 by far my favorite ice cream chain”

“The employee went above and beyond to ensure he served everyone during the last half hour of the business day.
He was incredibly patient, kind, and completed everyone's orders with accuracy.
I ordered the spicy Italian protein bowl, and added in pickles, basil, oregano, black pepper, mayonnaise, banana peppers-- and shredded cheddar instead of the provolone. It was more than enough. I really enjoyed it, now we have to consider this is Subway. However, taking that into consideration it was tasty.
I did not dine in. I took back to my hotel but the restaurant appeared to be very clean and so did the kitchen. I would recommend that location. And if I were the owners, I would highly consider giving that employee a raise.”

“3465 West Chestnut expressway location cashier Thomas was wonderful I couldn't ask for better service and a nicer guy this man deserves a raise”

“This is my first time at a Slim Chickens. I had a slim wrap with grilled chicken and it was very good. I usually don't have high hopes for fast food but this was really good. I'll definitely go back whenever I am in town. My only negative is that the size of the wrap was a little smaller than I would have liked.”
