geaux_sioux Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Source tells me dicky changed owners...will be open in a few weeks again Hopefully they get some real brisket this time. Good thing Speedway still kicks ass and has grain belt on tap. Also !@#!$ beer night is unbeatable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goon Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Fun to go to IHOP to watch how bad the service is. I like bww. They are expanding. And JL Beers. Toasted Frog: A younger "hipper" Sanders. Heard the rumor southgate is closing. Turning it into Famous Dave's. Dude, you have some good choice in food/eateries. I have never eaten at J.L.'s though....

siouxweet Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Dude, you have some good choice in food/eateries. I have never eaten at J.L.'s though.... I highly suggest you go there, good burgers and a very nice selection of cold frosty beverages. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UNDBIZ Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 The Boardwalk is also pretty good in my experience. It's a step below Sanders and Toasted Frog as far as being upscale but it's a step above Blue Moose and those type of places. They bought the Applebees deck so they have nice outdoor seating now too. Location is convenient for the movie theater also (sandwiched between Blue Moose and Mike's Pizza). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redneksioux Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 I have had pizza from Marco's. The sauce is very good: not too sweet, not too spicy. If you were really hungry when you posted your question, I hope you haven't starved to death waiting for my input. I'd stay away from Marcos. two words. The owner.

The Sicatoka Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 I do rather enjoy Fargo backers promoting the alleged greatness of their town, a town where the dump is in city limits and on two major streets no less (and their refuse burial site is in city limits too). So many of you missed what I wrote ... note the use of the word "too" when you re-read it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charliepic Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 And did I mention they have grain belt on tap? JL Beers doesn't even have grain belt on tap. Did you know that GB Premium is not the same as GB was in the 60's and before? I didn't until I read this. http://www.grainbelt.com/history_gb8.php Have you tried any of the Schell's other brands?

UND1983 Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 What's the latest with the Albatross? Another victim of poor location (see Dickey's) or are they still trying to give it a go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UND1983 Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Refer to post #298 of this thread... Thanks, I meant the truth. Dickeys said they were opening in a couple days too and appear to be closed for good. Wondering why a place would shut down for a couple months after opening?

Wondering why a place would shut down for a couple months after opening? According to their web page and facebook page, they are available for private bookings. I guess one could call them to see if that is true or not. There's a poster on this site who claims to be close friends with the owner of Albatross, perhaps he/she could post a more accurate update. Personally, I think it's the wrong type of restaurant for that location. That location needs a sports bar that is geared towards college age and blue collare type folks to be successful...at least in my opinion.

108498 Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 What happened at the Denny's in town? When I visited Grand Forks and the University in December the owner said that they had closed and had just reopened? Denny's seems to be a favorite in Wyoming and Colorado.

Look at the Down UNDer and how slow it got there. It seems all the college kids go downtown with a bunch of bars to kangaroo around. More like this building should never have been built to start with. Usual result of businessmen thinking they are restaurateurs. One thing I always thought about this place when it was built that there are only so many home games a year. So the parking lot fills up with people before the game and if they leave their cars there no parking for anyone else during the game. After the game people are parked all over the area and to far away from the building to want to go there after the game. Does anyone really want to walk to the ramp or the lot across from the Nursing school in 10 below weather? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
