Saturday brunch. Seated right away. Server was friendly and attentive. The biscuits and gravy were luke warm and I found 2 hairs in one of the biscuits. Dont ask why I risked another bite, but i felt the 2nd hair in my mouth and had to spit the food out.

I love Marge’s best french toast in town for sure This is a great French toast restaurant… Some days the salad bar is good, some days it's not. Pancakes are only worth eating if they have syrup! Ah.the pancakes were so big that I thought they were Midwest style.

I really enjoyed the vibe here! The lunch buffet was delicious. All cold salads and 3 hot soup options. Very delicious and zero wait!

It's a pretty cool place. Very kitschy interior design. Food is pretty good and the service isn't too bad. For being downtown the location is also pretty good. Not much else to say but the breakfast sandwich is good.

The food was amazing! My friend and I wete craving breakfast on Saturday morning and we wanted to try it out. The food was amazing and the wait staff made sure we had enough drinks and even asked “did you get enough to eat? ” With a kind smile and welcoming voice. I felt like I was in my grandmothers kitchen eating and feeling welcome and warm. Will come back to show my parents and friends!

This cute and casual diner has a wonderful atmosphere and the decor is tacky in an adorable way. The service was just ok, not spectacular. Just kind of seated and left alone, which is not an issue for us, just some. As for the food everything was neat and tasted fine however you would honestly not be able to tell the difference between the food here and a Dennys. Overall it's worth the visit, expect to be satisfied, just not blown away. It is small and steady so expect a short wait unless you are early.

It was a little busy but way quieter than the other bars around even though it was packed. The bartenders were super nice and the drinks were fun

Definitely recommend, but need to book a table ahead of time and wait. The food is absolutely yummy.

Super cool new diner downtown Fargo. Love the atmosphere and overall vibe of the place. Food exceeded expectations. Main focus is on breakfast. Must check out their salad bar. I hope to be back and try more of their menu!

Absolutely delicious food! We had the sausage biscuit bites, breakfast lasagna, patty melt, cinnamon roll french toast, & a bloody caesar. The waitress was super nice and the atmosphere was wonderful. We will definitely be back

My daughter and I stopped by there on Wednesday, when you first walk in there is a portable heater (we only saw this on our way out) which was covered in at least an inch + of dirt, the cover was off so you could see the actual fan. We were seated on the side wall, I sat on the back booth which was yellow and it was covered in stains, I have to wonder just what I was sitting on. Our server, she was not friendly, it was as if she was at the last place she wanted to be at, we saw her when she took our order and only when she cleared our plates. A gentleman brought our food and bill. My daughter had the two eggs over easy, tator tots and toast. I had the chicken fried steak which came with one egg (also ordered over easy) and hash browns. I asked for toast once he brought me my plate, this took ten minutes and it was cold. My daughter enjoyed the tator tots, the eggs were not over easy, they were hard so no dipping your toast into it happened. My chicken fried steak (yes, the menu says deep friend but so are tator tots) it was by far the most disgusting thing I ever tried. All day my mouth felt like I had used old vegetable oil as a mouth wash, in fact I left and didn't eat until the following day. The gravy portion was about a 1/4 cup if that and it was old tasting. My eggs were hard just like my daughter's so I didn't need to the cold toast after all. My hash browns were good though. I hate rating poorly but this was by far the worst place I have ever eaten at, the cleanliness, the service and the food.

Really cool place, often busy (it is downtown after all) their pancake IS HUGE. Tater tots are amazing.

I had the breakfast classic. My food came just barely warm. Toast was cold butter didn’t melt at all. Tater tots weren’t fresh as they were also barely warm. And the sausage I would never order it again. Randy’s has this place beat for breakfast by a mile. I heard so many good things about this place. Had to try but won’t be back. So sorry. Maybe the cook was having a bad day.

It’s a really cool space. The decor and atmosphere is fun. The food was just ok. The pancake was good, but it’s genuinely 10-12” diameter, about 6+ pancakes worth. It was on par with the shack pancakes as far as flavor and texture, but definitely don’t need bacon or eggs with it. The bacon was over cooked and very dry. Took one bite and it shattered into my lap. The scrambled eggs were rubbery and had a weird taste, like they were cooked on the same small griddle as everything else? Phantom flavors and specs in my eggs I couldn’t quite place. Tried my husbands hash browns and those were pretty tasty, well seasoned. His breakfast sandwich was pretty small, standard biscuit size. For $10 his meal wasn’t very filling. Coffee is self serve, not well set up. (Not labeled, not a good variety of “add ins”, some toranni syrups set to the side with sticky pumps, a cup of sugar packets, some kind of cream? Half and half? In a small coffee pot, not sure if it’s insulated/cold?) on a small cabinet thing that’s kinda dirty and sticky. For $5 a person it’s pretty disappointing, seen better setups in church basements. The coffee itself tasted pretty good, and I think it was bottomless? Wasn’t made very clear, only had one cup. Had to ask for water, no refills offered on it either. Overall service was just alright to poor.

Altogether it wasn’t anything much different than a truck stop breakfast experience. One or two good things, rest is meh to ok. Cool place, still has a lot of bar vibe. I’d be more likely to eat beforehand and get bottomless mimosas and try the mini donuts as an after brunch to sit and talk. Outside of that I don’t have any real desire to go back. Fairly pricey for the quantities and quality.

Highly recommend! Went here for Sunday brunch with my husband, he got the country fried steak. It wasn’t your typical country fried steak, very crispy and great taste. I had THE pancake which is huge! Plus it comes with eggs and breakfast meat, it was delicious! Also had the bottomless mimosa and that comes with a mimosa bar, lots of options to switch up your drink. Atmosphere was friendly and fun. All staff was great and food came out quickly. We did come on Sunday and it was busy so I’d recommend getting your seat ahead of time. Will definitely be back, pricing was fair. Cute find for a date or fun time with friends.

We stopped here for a weekday brunch after staying downtown, and it’s a great casual, laid-back place with good food. I had the hangover hashbrowns after seeing positive reviews and highly recommend it. It’s definitely filling but flavorful (the sausage in it is really good - not greasy like most sausage!). The coffee is self-serve at a little bar with mugs, coffee, half-and-half, sugar, and various Torani syrups. Unfortunately, syrups didn’t pump which was a bit disappointing. I think there is just one bathroom but it was clean and well kept!

Food was pretty good. Service was kinda slow
My only real issue was the table that was seated next to us on Sunday March 26th was there before we sat down and still there after we left. I think there should be a time limit for people at tables while you have multiple people waiting to sit down. These people were just drinking and I feel like they should have been asked to sit at the bar or leave so someone else can sit down.
