Fargo/Moorhead Top Eats & Treats
21
items I moved to Moorhead for college in 2016 and fell in love. I went to college there, fell in love and was heart broken there, I turned 21 there, I met my now husband and became a mom there. We moved to our now home in 2020 and I am so incredibly nosta...

Dream About
Listen. Listen. Listen. I know this is a chain, but it's so freaking tasty. We left the Fargo/Moorhead area several years ago and I still think about this frequently.
Spitfire Bar & Grill | West Fargo Restaurant
I might loose all credibility when you see two chains on my lists but honestly I love Lucky’s. This is one of the first places I went when I moved to the area and I love every location I’ve been to.
Food — Lucky's 13 Pub
Breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I’d go for every meal. I didn’t even know I liked corned beef until I went here. Massive massive fan. We lived about 3 miles from here when we moved and I constantly think about going back.
Blarney Stone Pub
I would love to be buried in their flautas. I always got a sampler when I went and I sincerely dream about the flautas with their sweet pepper jelly and queso blanco.
Paradiso Mexican Restaurant | Dinner and Lunch | Fargo, ND
We stumbled upon their original location and i fell in love with the fried rice and the breadsticks. I frfr eat here almost every time we go back and think about it all the time. I eventually branched out from fried rice and have genuinely never had ...
Drunken Noodle/Slurp Ramen
There was a spicy pie a few blocks from our apartment. The summer I was pregnant with our oldest we would walk down there at least once a week (I had her in early July). It was so damn good.

Want to Try
My husband and I repeatedly talked about stopping by here and have heard literally only good things. Alas, it’s still on the “want to try list”
Brew Bird
I’ve heard basically exclusively good things about this place. I think I’ve been in here once but it was after a sorority formal and we just had a drink with friends.
The Toasted Frog - Fine Dining in Grand Forks and Fargo
This name sounds so incredibly goofy to me but I’m almost always down for Italian food. It’s got great reviews and I feel like it’s maybe a chain but I’d be so down to try.
Spaghetti Western
Brewhalla was just newly built when we left the area and I never made my way over there for anything other than to look at it. My oldest is a unicorn fanatic though and I love pimento cheese and a wonton - it can’t be bad, right?
Unicorn Park
Worth Trying
I want to tell you it's overrated, but honestly, it's a really freaking good breakfast. I will say I didn't go often when I was there because the wait is absolutely crazy, but it's good for a once & a while spot.
The Shack on Broadway | Family Friendly Restaurant | Fargo, ND
This opened up about a year or so before we moved from the FM area and it was great. We would go for date nights and when people came to visit us. Honestly very tasty.
The Tavern Grill Restaurant + Bar | Home of the Build-Your-Owns
Gotta go at least once and draw on the tables! The pizza is tasty and the big booths are fun. We love the DT energy. It’s not on the top of my list, but when I think of Fargo recommendations I think of Rhombus Guys.
Home - Rhombus Guys Pizza
A great burger with good fries. Gotta be 21+ to eat in the Fargo locations for sure - not sure about Moorhead.
JL Beers - Great Burgers Sold Here
I was genuinely just thinking about this place! Great food and it used to be located in the Moorhead Mall which, as I hear, is in the process of being leveled. So I have not been to their new location but I loved their old one.
Leela Thai Cuisine
Bar Crawl
This is what some would call “a bar that can do both”. I’ve never been during the daylight hours, but I have had many a drink in the evening and it’s always immaculate vibes. We have also had many a late night snack here and they’re honestly incredib...

I have genuinely never been to NoBull in the light of day. I can’t comment on the food but I do love a drink or 10 there. They also used to open the window/garage doors on the booth side during the summer - impeccable vibes.
Home - NoBull Smokehouse
Another place I’ve yet to visit in the daylight. They do have good ass long islands and I think about them frequently. When I think about bar hopping in college this is first one I think about. The dancing here was intense and incredible.
Home - The Old Broadway
I’ve been to Dempsey’s exactly one time and I sat in a booth with a group of people I never anticipated partying with and got hammered. It was a good night from what I remember.
Welcome
Sweet Treats
I’ve actually never eaten anything savory here. But I have enjoyed a milk shake or two. So yummy and they used to have a deal so my girlfriends and I would go and split!
Kroll’s Diner
This could honestly be in two categories. There are fantastic sweet treats that are so fresh and tasty! They also have great sandwiches/savory items. The first summer I lived in our sorority house I had a friend who worked at Nichole’s. On Sunday’s(?...
