Food is great, but dont try to place an order online, and especially dont try to call in. Ppaced an order online, but realized there wasnt an option to change pickup time, then they dont pick up the phone so I guess I just spent money to learn where not to order.

We had a group of 8 people. We were able to all sit in a section so we could visit. They have excellent specialty drinks. The hamburgers we had were excellent. Great food and great service.

05/30/2025 We used to live in Fargo and this place was one of our favorite burger joints while we were there due to their unique burgers, fresh cut potato chips or fries with dipping sauces and selection of tap beers. When we got back to town, we had to stop for dinner.
Along with the pre-requisite cold tap beers, tonight my wife ordered the Wham Bam Bacon Jam burger (see picture) and I opted for the Classic Chicken (see picture). As per what we've become accustomed to expecting at JL Beers, both of them were delicious. Those fresh cut potato chips and delicious dipping sauces just can't be beat.
After eating tonight, our friends shared with us that they had gotten there early, so had their favorite appetizer - a large pretzel with homemade peanut butter. They had a little of the peanut butter left, so we tried it - and were hooked! We asked and found out that all they used for ingredients were honey roasted peanuts - so you know they were on our doorstop in Des Moines shortly after we returned home - and were ground into peanut butter that night! You definitely want to give it a try!

Overpriced. Fancy fast food. Burgers are good but small and fries are cold, old, and tasteless. I don’t expect to get my beer in a can at a sit down place. Server was like a bee in my face. Leave us alone until we are done. I understand the business model. Just not a fan.
