Tavern is hands down the worst food ever served in Grand Forks. At least the microwaves at Applebee's nuke most of the ecoli.. IMHO... the wings are terrible, dominoes wings are easily better. Tavern is the Columbia Mall of food establishments... an embarrassment to the city and state for anyone visiting. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately the Canad has just gone downhill, albeit, slowly over the last 10-12 years. It’s still really nice and for now (until Olive Ann is completed) is the nicest hotel in town, and largest, and it’s full service. Connected to Alerus, etc. it’s nice and big. It has it pluses and benefits. But it needs some TLC, a capital injection and maybe re do one of the restaurants or just step it up a little. It’s still coasting off of itself just “being the canad” I still really enjoy the place, but it’s been sad watching it’s *VERY slowly just kind of age and nobody in management care enough to keep it pristine. It’s still nice for the record, but in another 10 years without some love it’s going to just continue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewUndFan Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 Last year there was an article in the Herald that North Dakota was going to be getting 5 Freddy's Frozen Custard and Steakburgers. One was to be in Grand Forks. I know the one in Fargo opened this summer. Anyone have any inside information when we will be getting ours here?

Love that stuff. Other than that, it's been a very underwhelming meal the couple times I've eaten there. *the Cay used to have it so many years ago but I haven't been there in quite a while... anyone know if they've brought it back?

gfNDfan Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Molly Yeh's restaurant opening this weekend with an Open House on Saturday. Signage pays homage to the old Whitey's font (and heritage) This will be a huge add to the EGF Restaurant scene! MUCH BETTER that when Dave Norman took over the (relocated but still historic) WHITEYS and crushed it into the ground like a stale PallMall with his horrible menu and pricing. What an a-hole! Molly will do MUCH BETTER - check it out! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it will do well. Didn't take any pics but did pop in over the weekend - it's QUITE a difference if you remember the old (post-flood, NOT the original) Whiteys layout. First off - you walk in the door off DeMers and it's a brighter white "marketplace" cafe feel. The old horseshoe bar has been converted to a bakery/short order walk-up counter. Pick up some bread or a couple cookies to go or place a lunch order. There's a casual sitting area and a place to buy spices, her cookbook, and other kitchen items on the mall-side. If you want to hang around there's a more regular cafe area with tables on the dining room side on DeMers. The old formal dining area on the riverwalk-side has also been brightened with spaced out small tables and table service with waiters and waitresses to attend your every baloney sandwich need! Yes the menu is small right now with sandwiches and salads but you can feel the vibe she's trying to create and it's actually pretty cool. We bought a couple cookies and bars to take home ($16) so don't forget your wallet but they were amazingly delicious - no kidding! The signage outside TOTALLY pays homage to the old/new Whiteys signage with art deco style letters. It's in its early stages but I think it's going to be a great attraction for downtown GF/EGF especially with the State Park next door. Far better than the crappy hamburger hut that bailed on GF at the first opportunity. At least Molly has connections here - has embraced the midwest and has found value in our community AND has a venue to broadcast that to a national audience on a weekly basis. We are incredibly lucky to have her here and right back at ya Molly! I'll always support someone like that. 2 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple years ago saw an employee come out and stir the piles of raw meat and vegetables with no gloves going from chicken to beef to noodles and whatever. Salmonella anyone? Done and DONE! I could also tell you tales of being in their kitchen many years ago but lets not go there. All I can say is "tubs of grey chicken on the floor" and enough said! Far East used to be a lot better but their building is for sale and it's falling in on itself (plus they grew some kind of vegetables in the rear of the building last year next to the garbage dumpsters. - sure there's a health code violation there) but whatever - never made me sick. GF Classic China Garden has gone to crap - both food and service wise - what happened to the proliferation of Chinese Buffets?? We have no real go-to in GF - that sucks!

I have said this since i moved here. Grand Forks does not have a good Chinese Restaurant. I think if a good one came to town and put in a decent location could rack up all the business. If i want decent Chinese food I will travel to Crookston both options there are decent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
