My wife and I had been there before when they first opened and had a great meal but on a Saturday night at 6:30pm we walked in to a totally empty restaurant in the middle of a orange cone construction mess. Nice job. I try to do that also when I know a decent place is getting crushed by orange cones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hky Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 I like Ely's Ivy. I think they tried to be way too cute with their menu when they first opened, but it has gotten a lot better. Appreciate that it changes with availability of fresh ingredients. Have been there for lunch a couple times this summer-good fresh fish specials both times and sat outside on their patio (or is it a park?) next to it.

forksandspoons Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Do yourself a favor if you're in Grand Forks and hit up Fat Albert's. The Crunchy Po-Boy Taco sub changed my life.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never was disappointed though when I did remember to order Kind of the same lines of that sandwich place by Tim Hortons. Decent food, just never first on my mind 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have heard really good things about Scotty's Deli but have yet to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes - I was thinking about that place but couldn't remember the name. It was one of the first truly international cuisine restaurants to come to GF. We did a TV commercial for them and the owner was a very nice Pakistani guy. (NOT Babu Bhatt but close!) The food was AMAZING but unfortunately beyond most of GF's palate back in the '90's. He did a spicy stir fried rice and chicken dish that was AMAZING. The place had been a former small diner downtown (counter space and a few small tables) and he was around for awhile but I think the flood did him in.

Cratter Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 One of the hottest restaurants in Grand Forks: Northside Cafe. Parking lot is always full during lunch. Or maybe it's all the construction workers expanding Simplot nearby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was before my time in GF but I've heard the stories. Think you're right Web's was the downtown place but what was little diner across from Charlie Browns near the Kennedy bridge?

For Grand Forks, I'd rather see a authentic Mexican restaurant, we really haven't had one since MI Mexico closed.

ND-fan Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 I still like going to the Speed Way in Grand Forks has pretty good food and if you want you can get drink with your meal. Its always busy but usually can get in . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casa Mexico on the east side puts MiMexico to shame but you have to find them and YES travel to EGF for decent food (I know that's hard for some southenders in GF) Half a block off business 220 just past McDonalds - between the highway and Hugo's. GO THERE - you won't regret it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
