waldo Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 A hidden gem. 2915 South Washington. Steers Somali Restaurant. Great fresh food and friendly service. Myself or my college age daughter have been here about ten times in the last year and never been disappointed. Nice to try unique foods in town and reasonably priced. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The old shangri-la food (and especially the Phoenix Chicken) was the only reason I went there - a LOT of other people would agree. Best to Gam and I hope he lands on his feet in a new place where his talents can be appreciated. Our last time there the waitress was rude and once we found out no chinese food the alternatives boring. We won't be back. Shotgun Sally's in Grand Forks has always had spotty service. I've never been to a place that can have 4-5 bartenders moving around like they are busy but no one actually getting served drinks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gfNDfan Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 Short answer is these days - ANYWHERE AND EVERYWHERE that's doing takeout and delivery to help them get through until this mess is over and YES - THERE is a silver lining to this very huge cloud hanging over the GF food scene. GAM IS COMING BACK BABY! Starting Monday March 23 - Gam will be cooking some of his chinese favorites for takeout and delivery at the Ground Round! Not available every day but when it is I assume they'll let people know via their facebook page. Great news and a great reason to throw some love Ground Rounds way! They're great community supporters as it is. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't order it online - you have to call. Pre-orders start at 3pm - available for delivery and takeout. Same as it ever was and not for foodies expecting a taste explosion. Just good old GF comfort food - had some the other night and it was the most satisfying meal for my soul I've had since this covid crap started.

SIOUXFAN97 Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 just a thought but now that it's warmer out should grand forks close all the north/south streets downtown and put tons of park bench (socially distantly enough tho) in the streets and allow restaurants to serve food and drink outside? close kittson for urban stampede and rhombus pizza/brewery? bonzers could use the alley behind their building? or make the city square park one large open air dining area. just a thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet people would feel more comfortable sitting outside rather than recirculated air conditioning 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shotgun Sally's in Fargo has been trash from day one....awful. I pine for the days of food at the Shangri-La.......was a GF gem.

SiouxForever Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 West Fargo just got -- https://www.thepiggybbqofwestfargo.com/ I'm sure many people have read the NYT article on it or saw it on the local news yesterday in Fargo/Grand Forks. Super excited for this! -- https://www.nytimes.com/2013/09/08/travel/restaurant-report-the-piggy-in-walker-minn.html This will kill in Fargo. With that said, was "The Wild Hog" ahead of its time in Grand Forks, or just mismanaged/poorly ran? Thoughts? @Oxbow6 thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too many owners, none of which had any restaurant experience, and because it was basically a hobby instead of their primary source of income they never seemed to put any effort into learning.

northernraider Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Wild Hog was garbage, very little flavor. Only good thing was it was a prime place to pick up a desperate housewives of Grand Forks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
