Firehouse was good but had bad access for a stripmall - that also killed Quizno's there.  GOD I MISS QUIZNO'S  

Patronize Jersey Mikes in that OTHER hideous and half-vacant strip mall on Columbia.  At least their CEO has been pro-active in these "uncertain times" by doing nationwide fundraisers for food shelves.  Subs are good - better than Subway or (GASP) Red Pepper

Speaking of the Red Pepper, are either of their locations open yet?

Unless they go back to their old buns, it may not matter.

42nd St has always been open for take-out, still not open for dine-in.

Have you had Boss' yet? It's pretty good but definitely on the spendy side. And i'm an unabashed huge Popolino's fan as far as my favorite in town.

one time...it was good...little spendy and a large was on the smallish side...seating is limited and weird.

[SIOUXFAN97]

has half brothers opened yet?

I’m with you on Popolino’s. Love their sauce and thin crust. I used to order identical pizzas to taste test from both Pops & Deeks to pick up on the way home from work. 4 out of 5 in the house favored Popolinos.

Site work on northside Taco John's is finally underway.  (Sign still says Fall 2019.)

Just walked thru downtown GF...For all those whoa is me articles about all these bars and restaurants that were forcibly closed and "not sure how we're gonna make it stories if this goes another week" it's amazing how many are still closed by CHOICE?  Level 10, Oreillys, B and B, and Half Brothers are all closed (yet inside half brothers there were about five guys (i think all with manicured beards) either doing some form of podcast or video game tournament while drinking beer.

Something tells me that they got their SBA grant money that i think they don't have to pay back as long as they don't stop paying their employees or their employees are loving the idea of getting more money not to work or a combo of the two......which is really sad.

I hear the bun and broken drum have been busy 

[SIOUXFAN97]

lots of bars downtown still closed....maybe the heraldo can interview some of these owners and ask on a beautiful night like tonight why aren't they at least having outdoor service...joe blacks had quite of few outside drinking. you would think between the front door and rear "patio" at half brothers they could serve quite a few people just outdoors.

a friend went to the bun on sat night said there were quite a few people there...said a girl at the door kept a head count if the number inside was too big you had to drink outside.

[SIOUXFAN97]

brick and barley is open i think it says wed-sunday and has a few table outside and their parklet up...probably about ten people outside drinking.

Looks like the Ground Round is getting a remodel

[SIOUXFAN97]

so what gets finished first ....the Taco Johns on Gateway or the world's most expensive car wash down the road?

[SIOUXFAN97]

Well, that would require an hour drive north of Fargo, so, yea...

Most bars and restaurants do not have a business plan that will allow them to remain open operating at 50% capacity.
