I ordered the 12oz med well and it came out well no pink. I send it back and within 8 min my order was made right. My son's 20 oz was medium just like he ordered. The prime beef was tasty. The truffle Mac and cheese and the mushrooms were good, enough to Share. I really liked the amaretto crème brûlée. Our server was not so pleasant towards my husband when he questioned how the calamari was prepared. For the most part we had a great evening and will be back. The ambiance was nice great for an anniversary or date. I recommend it!

We normally enjoy our time here, but the last couple of times have been not the greatest. The…read morecustomer service has seem to gone down, not as friendly, welcoming nor knowledgeable. They don't mention specials or happy hour, we as customers should not have to ask and when we do, staff should know them. The lighting is way too dark at night especially by the booths, can't even read the menus. Lighting needs improvement, also add TVs by the booths. Prices are still decent, but 2 pies, a side and few drinks shouldn't be $90 with a special discount applied, can get more for same or less elsewhere. Servers should be cleaning tables as we sit, bringing proper utensils, napkins and did they get rid of the pizza holders to make room at tables? Also bring back Wine for us Women.

What can I say about Up North Pizza! This is such a great, fun place to eat!…read more While visiting Grand Forks, my daughter and her husband took us here to try some fun pizzas. The flavor combinations are awesome and the crust is delicious. The meatball pizza, the most "traditional" pizza we tried, had a delicious red sauce and the meatballs are great. The Schnitzengiggles Pizza has Bechamel, Canadian bacon, bacon, kraut, 1000 Island. Served with a little char on it. My favorite part is the kraut...I wish it had more!! The General Tso Pizza comes with general tso sauce / garlic chicken / red onion / broccoli / cilantro / shredded carrots / sweet chili / sesame seeds. The pizza has a nice sauce but I was expecting chunks of chicken. Lastly, but not least, was the Tiki-za pizza which has red sauce, smoked chicken, pineapple, jalapeno, sweet chili, peppers, cilantro. Served with a little char on it. Honestly, it is hard to choose a favorite but I liked the TikiZa the best followed by the meatball. Honestly, they're all great. I also got the People Eater drink which was a sour . I don't particularly like sweet drinks so this was great.

Varsity Ice House is officially one of our new go-to spots in Grand Forks!…read more We stopped in on a whim and were seriously impressed. The Bacon Cheeseburger was solid--thick-cut bacon, juicy patty, exactly what you want when you're craving a classic. The sweet potato fries were on point, and the queso fries were dangerously good. One of our favorites of the night was the Firecracker Shrimp--mildly spicy, super flavorful, and honestly way better than we expected from bar food. The whole place has a chill, fun atmosphere, the kind of bar you settle into without even trying. The table next to us ordered wings and they looked incredible... so yes, we're already planning our return trip just for those. Shoutout to Jacob, who closed us out and made sure everything was exactly to our liking. Great service on top of great food = winning combo. Can't wait to go back!

With a group of 10, we were tucked into a cozy little nook just off the bar area, which worked out perfectly for our gathering. One of the things I appreciated most about The Spud was the atmosphere. The restaurant has incorporated part of the historic Opera House building, and there are thoughtful nods to its past throughout the space with photos, memorabilia, and décor. Much of the building's original character has been preserved, including the exposed brick walls, wood floors, and architectural details, creating a warm, inviting, and charming environment. The restaurant is divided into two distinct areas, with a separate bar space featuring pool tables, slot machines, and additional seating. I can imagine this being a great option for overflow during busy evenings or for those looking for a more casual setting. We visited on a Sunday morning, and the restaurant was bustling. Bottomless mimosas were definitely a highlight and are a fantastic value--I would highly recommend them for brunch. Our table ordered a variety of dishes, including the Biscuits & Gravy (which were recommended by our server), the Southwest Breakfast Bowl, Chicken & Waffles, and, of course, French Toast, which is my go-to brunch order wherever I go. Overall, most of our group enjoyed their meals and left satisfied. Unfortunately, one member of our party experienced a mix-up with their order and had to wait quite a while for their Chicken & Waffles to arrive. While mistakes can happen during a busy service, it was disappointing that the dish ultimately didn't meet expectations after the extended wait. My French Toast was good, but not quite memorable. Personally, I think it would benefit from a richer bread, such as brioche, and a higher-quality maple syrup. Small touches like serving the syrup in a metal pitcher rather than a plastic container would also elevate the presentation. Despite how busy the restaurant was, our server remained friendly, attentive, and professional throughout the meal, which was appreciated. By the time we left, there was a line out the door, which speaks to the restaurant's popularity. Overall, I would certainly consider returning. The unique atmosphere, historic charm, and welcoming feel of the restaurant make it a place worth visiting. Next time, I'd be interested in exploring the lunch or dinner menu to experience another side of what The Spud has to offer.
