GO THERE - you won't regret it. I have ate there a couple of times, but I haven't ate there for a years, it was pretty good. I didn't know if it was still in business. You're right though, us southenders don't get to East Side very often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzie82 Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 I'd love to hear everyone's opinion on their favorite non chain Grand Forks Restaurants: Top 3-5 casual restaurants (sandwiches, burgers, tacos, pizza, salads) Top 3-5 dinner type restaurants. Don't know exactly how to describe it because obviously pizza and sandwiches can be eaten for dinner, but I'm looking for restaurants that serve steak, pork, chicken, etc, with sides.

geaux_sioux Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 No particular order, it depends on the night. Sky’s Toasted Frog Speedway The Cay Sakura Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sicatoka Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 I used to eat at Shangri-La before games. I used to eat at Grizzly's before games. I used to eat at the Chinese place on Columbia before games (lot of staff came from Shangri-La). I used to eat at Wild Hog before games. Anyone else see a pattern ... ?

streetsahead Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 (edited) Popolino's The Cay Bonzer's (Used to enjoy lunch there occasionally when I worked downtown - not many great quick lunch options close there) Edit to add the Red Pepper - haven't been there much lately so not much experience with the bread controversy but was tough to beat for late night food back in the day. I still like it for some pregame tacos. Blue Moose Speedway I've lived here for 11 years since coming to college in the fall of 08 and have yet to eat at The Toasted Frog or Sky's (never ate at Sanders either).

The Cay Darcy's (breakfast) Fat Albert's (subs) JL Beers, although there are a few locations. Up North Pizza Hub Pub I've heard great things about Scotty's Deli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UNDBIZ Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 The Cay, Blue Moose, and Toasted Frog (a few locations now) are all solid. One thing Grand Forks actually does kind of well is pizza, must be the college crowd, but I miss going to Up North, Mike's, and Rhombus. I'd add Wild Bill's, although it's kind of a small chain too. Has anyone here tried Steers Restaurant? I've heard it's good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Former staple of the GF scene, cant remember how many birthday partys and post games ive spent at the Moon. Always a good time in the "Game Room" with a couple 13-14 friends. Its been less than memorable as an adult the past visits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sioux24/7 Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 The Whaler at the Moon is always good but rarely hit it up. Other than that, my list is similar to what has been mentioned: Cay, Darcy's, Speedway. Like going over to the Boardwalk during the summer and sitting on their deck but is kind of spendy for my taste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozzie82 Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 One unmentioned place I like: Up North Pizza in EGF. I want to love The Cay, but I think the wings are consistently overdone and average. Love the atmosphere. I'll keep trying it, though. Haven't been to Speedway; I'll hit it up this weekend. Will go to Toasted Frog at some point, too. Usually have my daughter with me which makes Toasted Frog impossible. Obviously Darcy's is a gem. Love love love. Really like Sky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get the blackened wings at The Cay. Sauce on the side. For some reason they seem to be more juicy that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
