Boy, what a pleasant…read moresurprise when my GPS suggested Charlies Main St Cafe and as soon as I walked in, you could feel the vibe. Happy Diners! The scrumptious aroma of piping hot coffee and caramel glazed rolls combined with attentive servers made me feel like I hit the restaurant lottery. I asked how did Charlies win the bragging rights for BEST Hot Beef in North Dakota? After, my first bite, I let out a hearty laugh and went two thumbs up on that meal, which never had a chance. Charlie's Main St Cafe is truly a gem, come taste for yourself.

Bearscat opted to accept their gift cards, so they wouldn't have to give refunds. So thoughtful! As if that wasn't enough, when the government shutdown was happening, they offered completely free grab & go breakfast bags. If you needed to eat, you could just pick up a pre-made bag. No need to order it, or ask... just pick it up from the designated area - no questions asked. Buying a full dozen? They gave you a token to pass to someone of your choice for redemption of a dozen at no additional cost. Sometimes, I wonder how they stay in business, then I remember that their financial loss is also a financial gain... as it sure makes me keep coming!

You absolutely cannot show up an hour before close and expect a full case, or even that day's lunch offer, (which I never order anyway.) Personally, I love that for 2 reasons: less food waste & it motivates you to get there before they run out. With that out of the way, on to the "good stuff" & I do mean that both literally & figuratively. I'll note they are listed as French pastries, this is important, as it sets an expectation comparatively to, say, the local donut shop/ the other "bread (pastry) shop" - &, they are very different styles, indeed. Humble brag moment, International traveler here & I've had the pleasure of some amazing pastries. These guys do fit the French-style that they're boasting about. They made a solid almond croissant & have some tasty savory rotations, as well as sweet. Their crepes are my favorite eat-out breakfast item in town. They offer both sweet & savory options, another bonus, as I'm a savory gal. In short, i probably don't go here as often as I should

I just had a wild hair to pull off the side of the road to have a dive burger. And let me tell you,…read moreit was divine. I ordered the jalapeño poppers, which was kind of a fusion thing. It was popper stuffed egg rolls. Secret cheeses and diced peppered, deep fried in the wrap. Really really good and unique. I had to try the Bacon Macaroni and Cheese burger. It was really incredible, coming from a restaurant in a town with a population of 300+ folks. The burger was thick, and perfectly cooked. Not too dry, with a slightly juicy light pink center. The Mac and cheese and the bacon crumbles were so good and the potato roll was soft and I just loved it . I could only eat half, the rest is coming on the plane ride home. I don't know when I will be back, but I'm glad I stopped!! I wish them luck! PS: The sweet tea was perfect too, for a hot summer day and the cool breeze of ND. Friendly service, unsuspecting amazing food!

We drove down to Max to try out a bar and grill a good friend recommended - The Red Light Bar and…read moreGrill. Unfortunately their cook was hospitalized and their kitchen was closed so we went to the other option in Max: Pour Choices Bar and Grill - formerly The Max Cafe. Pour Choices Bar and Grill was having their Grand Opening Weekend so we decided to eat lunch there. My buddy ordered an Aloha Burger which he said was just ok but he said the fries were great. I ordered the Chicken Wing Basket they were excellent, very nicely rendered and crispy. I ordered garlic parmesan wings and they had very good flavor and even with the garlic parmesan they remained crispy and delicious. The wing basket comes with fries and cole slaw but don't get the waffle fries unless you want a $3 up charge! We ate in the bar and it was dimly lit and I didn't see that the waffle fries was an upcharge, I thought it said the wings came with waffle fries and cole slaw but they assured me when charging that the menu said it was extra... 4 Stars for the wings but minus one for the food taking a very long time... 35-40 minutes to come out and it wasn't that busy but I'd still recommend eating there but YMMV. We'll definitely make another drive to Max and try out the Red Light next time. One thing that does bother me is the waitress just announced the bill total without presenting a printed bill for the customer to examine and then pay. I had to ask for a printout and I think that should be a given. $14 wings and a $3 Pepsi turned out to be $21+ because I didn't see the fine print about the waffle fries. They were very good waffle fries but had I known I wouldn't have opted for the extra $3 charge as the regular fries would have been plenty good to have as well.

After walking in I was greeted and asked where I wanted to sit, we eventually decided a table. For one?!?!yeah sure. After finding out whose section i was sitting in, I placed my order and within 10 minutes my food was on my table! Hot and delicious as it turns out. The ribs were tender, perfectly seasoned, juicy and smoked to perfection! I did not need sauce but tried a few of them Anyway. LOL! The bbq baked beans were also perfectly done, tender, full of flavor, savory with a little bit of heat and three types of beans which worked somehow. Now the biggest surprise to me was the potato salad, which 95% of restaurants get terrible wrong. This one was an 8 out of 10! So my service was great, the food was great, it was fast, hot and delicious. My one negative is that it's located in North Dakota!!!!!!! Also the place was full of families with kids but the ambiance was still chill enough to take a date. 10 out of 10!

However, upon check out we did not receive the promo we were supposed to receive, nor did we receive credit for the $75 we spent on our visit. Charging customers a high premium like this, you would expect the rewards program promos and credit to be a bit more seamless and functional. Lastly, we were overcharged on our bill. So do be mindful of this if you visit. Would probably not consider going back here. Can definitely get more food for your $ some place else.
