They have always owned Speedway, but took it over from a manager that wasn't getting the job done back in 08 or 09. The also owned Boston's but couldn't work with the franchisor so they sold the building to Space Alien's. Love the Popper burger, cheeser cheesers (deep fried mac & cheese), queso, and steaks. And the Speedway sauce! You are forgetting the ham and cheese balls with a side of speedway sauce! Many people have tried to copy the sauce but no one does it like Speedway! if you want an amazing burger a guy needs to try the speedway burger! Makes me hungry thinking about it.... The Speedway’s in ND go way back with this family owned business started by their dad. Sadly only one is still remaining and I wish Minot still had one. Quote

We always hit up the Speedway in Grand Forks though when we are there for hockey/football games. Quote

Journalism 101. Spell a person’s name or business name correctly. The business logo literally says “Mamma,” not “Mama.” Nice work, Grand Forks Herald. Quote

Decided to hit up Pancheros for lunch yesterday. Their freshly made tortillas taste so much better than the reheated discs at Qdoba and Chipotle. Quote

NoiseInsideMyHead Posted June 28, 2019 Posted June 28, 2019 Taco John's on Gateway is closed; sign says "new store coming." Not sure if a new building or a remodel. GF down (at least momentarily) to just a single TJ from what had been for the longest time 3. Quote
northernraider Posted June 28, 2019 Posted June 28, 2019 Fun fact: I my 10 years of living in the area, never been to Taco John's. What am I missing? Better or worst squirts then Taco Hell? Quote

I'd agree with Johnboy that it's higher quality than Taco Bell, but you're still not missing much. Quote
Cratter Posted June 30, 2019 Posted June 30, 2019 Whenever I go to Taco Bell, with their expansive menu, I'm reminded of the old Jim Gaffigan joke: http://www.cc.com/video-clips/pymif1/comedy-central-presents-bottled-water TJ's gotz the Ole's. Quote

Taco Johns is pretty consistently on their A-game up there. Quote

crb1 Posted July 9, 2019 Posted July 9, 2019 Does anyone else think this town really needs to attract better restaurants? It just seems like we keep adding more of the same around here, its pretty lame. 1 Quote

There are plenty of small towns with great little restaurants. We need more ambitious people like Kim from Sanders to push things and take risks. I’m a firm believer that a restaurant will succeed anywhere if their food is that good. Quote

Irish Posted July 9, 2019 Posted July 9, 2019 I hadn't been to the Broken Drum for years but recently stopped in for bite and a beer - I recommend it for good bar food. Quote
