Darcy's Cafe is a staple of the old north end. The breakfast at Darcy's is delicious; a large meal of bacon, eggs, pancakes, and hash browns. Great food, however, is not matched by great prices. You can expect to pay quite a bit for a meal, well over $10 in some cases. The great thing is that the great food is matched by great workers. A collection of older employees and farmer-patrons makes for some interesting conversations about an array of political and social issues. Another little quip about the place is that there is a door that connects Darcy's with its neighbor, Double D's Barber Shop. All in all, Darcy's is a great place for some people watching, to catch a good breakfast, and for some interesting conversation about things that are important to the Grand Forks area residents. read more

Good portions for the price, servers are fast , food is great only reason for 4 stars is I ordered scrambled eggs got an omelet and chose not to eat it didn't complain but the server felt the need to get shotty and tell me that's the way they make their scrambled eggs read more

The food is awesome!! They have real corned beef hash, and awesome homestyle breakfast! The waitress that works here is extremely rude to the point I don't think I'll be back. Very disappointed that I don't feel welcome at Darcy Fonders namesake. read more

Darcy's is known for its great breakfast, and can be quite busy in the morning. Come in at 7 after the farmers leave and before the college students pile in. The prices are great and sometimes the coffee is stronger than the typical brown water here. I like the American fries, breakfast sandwich, and the pancakes. read more

They're always busy for a reason. You just can't go wrong with Darcy's breakfast. The chicken fried steaks are huge, the gravy is real, and their cinnamon roll pancakes and caramel rolls are great additions to anything. The Country Benedict + a caramel roll is our go-to, WAY more than enough for two people to share! read more

Was passing through town and found this is a great place for breakfast. Great service and food. Highly recommend.

The food was good, and a lot was given for a low price! The cons of coming here are that they seem to be busy quite often, and the space is very limited. Also, the waitress we had wasn't very friendly -- but it makes sense since it was busy. read more

This place is winner. Sick and tired of all these corporate chain restaurants? Do you like good, homemade pancakes? Give this place a try. Cinnamon roll pancake was $$$$. read more

I had early breakfast at the café the other morning it was great fast service good coffee and reasonably priced

The breakfast is good and you have too pay in cash, which equals awesome.

Absolutely the best diner food in town. Great food at a great price. I took my father there 3 times in a week because he liked it so much. Come early if you don't want to wait. read more

Good food and good service! We were surprised at this little hole in the wall! Service was fast and after eating out for breakfast I wish I could go back! If you are sodium sensitive like I am they let you put your own salt on!!! read more

Very good food and friendly service. It was a bit of a wait but in their defense I did arrive at 11 a.m. on a Sunday morning. I will only be here for the next 3 months in North Dakota but this will definitely be a regular place for me read more

My pops and I don't go anywhere else for breakfast. I've ventured out and gotten a couple of different things (breakfast burrito and Philly) but I always go back to the Dave's special with pumpkin pancakes (when available but regular pancakes are still the best pancakes ever). The service is wonderful even when busy- your coffee cup will never go empty. The key is always patience and understanding. There is typically only two waitresses-You may have to wait a couple of min. Especially if they're busy you may have to wait for a seat but it's well worth it! Can't beat the food or the price! :) read more

The corned beef hash, German sausage, real and thick bacon, and excellent service make me confident that I will return here again and again.

We were visiting family in North Dakota this summer and ended up going to Darcy's for lunch which we absolutely loved! We would go there again; everything was great, big cups of coffee, the waitresses were super friendly, everything that you would expect in a diner in North Dakota!! read more

One of my favorite places for breakfast. I did wait for a while to be seated but it was well worth it! Some of the breakfast I've had in a while. The service is pretty efficient, and my only con here was that it's kinda small and I'm not exactly athletic. However, food is great and love how everything tastes perfectly homemade. Sundays are usually the busiest but I'd recommend it to anyone here visiting or who haven't been here yet! read more

Best breakfast ever. Great taste and serving size is huge. Service is great and coffee is always flowing.

Awesome food. I had the #2 on the breakfast menu, the Mettenburg sausage, kraut, hash browns, scrambled eggs and pancakes. All was awesome. Will look for Darcy's Cafe next time I'm in town! read more

Great classic diner, cozy atmosphere and good food. They are quite crowded for a weekend breakfast, but worth the wait. The have booths around the outside, or you can grab a stool around the bar. I tried their pumpkin pancakes, which were outstanding. read more

Cinnamon roll pancakes are a must!!! Such a cute little mom and pop cafe. It's always super busy on the weekends so try to avoid going then. read more

Great small-town Cafe feel. Great made from scratch food. Very reasonable prices. Staff is very friendly and they know their regulars very well. read more

Grand Forks institution. Just a must visit classic. Great breakfast and underrated lunch. The lumberjack breakfast will fill you up and I like their coffee. Cinnamon roll pancakes are pretty money. If any negatives, it can get tight in there due to small size. Also, not the friendliest staff. But food is good and you should visit for sure. read more

Darcy's is the best restaurant in town. When we lived in Grand Forks, we were happy regulars at Darcy's and still miss our Saturday/Sunday brunches. This is first class diner fare. read more

Best breakfast place in town. Highly recommend the varieties pancakes and omelettes. Very small though, so be prepared for a possible wait.

The best home cooking in town! The staff are very personable as well. They have been serving breakfast all day, well before McDonalds did.

Reliable, but has changed in the past few months. The burgers went from being freshly pattied to frozen, but the menu calls them hand-pattied, which is totally false. I also miss the pumpkin pancakes a lot... Either way, it's a reliable place and has a great crowd. The regulars can be a bit gruff, but the owner takes zero shit. read more

Must go to in Grand Forks! We eat here weekly and bring all the family that comes to visit here. Sometimes it's packed but it's well worth the wait. read more

This little diner is a definite place to eat when in Grand Forks. We had breakfast on Fathers Day here. It was amazing. The coffee can't be beaten. We had an omelet and cinnamon pancakes and a skillet breakfast with lemon blueberry pancakes. It was all amazing. Everyone was very friendly. Don't pass this little gem by...it's a winner for sure! read more

Amazing greasy spoon like diner. Great food, good prices and good service. Good food to get your morning going or to cure your hang over.

Darcy's is very small so don't be surprised if you have to wait for a table. The food is good and the staff is nice. Darcy's is our favorite place for breakfast in Sunday morning. read more

This is a must try if you are new to grand forks or just visiting!!! They have amazing food my favorite is the eggs Benedict but get there early or it will be all gone! This place is very small so you may need to wait but the food is worth it, it reminds me of going to my grandmas for Sunday morning breakfast read more

Small cafe only open for breakfast and lunch. Dodd is excellent and a great value. Service is prompt.

As somebody whom gets around a bit, coast to coast Darcy's holds a spot in my top five eateries hands down. You just can't get such quality homestyle food in many places. It may not look like much - inside or out - but their mantra of "better than your Grandma's, as good as your Mom's" holds true, and that's coming from somebody descended from excellent kitchen jockeys. No trip to or through the Forks is complete without breakfast at Darcy's. read more

Good food. Dubious service and policy. I am impressed that other reviewers have received such excellent service and that they observed the staff working as a team. Let me just say this not a universal experience. We ordered our food with pancakes and waited until we saw what were clearly our meals appear in the service window. Tantalizing wisps of steam rose from the plates while we waited, and waited while the heat dissipated and the wait staff walked by again and again. It's a small place. It wouldn't have taken 20 seconds to grab the plates and bring them to us. Then one set of pancakes appeared and the waitress saw fit to deliver our food sans my wife's pancakes. "They'll be right out." we were told. Good breakfast food. We finished our meals and still no pancakes. No biggy really the food was still somewhat warm, so we requested that the price of the pancakes be taken off the bill. The server agreed but her supervisor came back, plopped the now cold pancakes down in a box and told us, "We don't take off for that." Oh. Well guess what we don't tip for that either. What would it cost? Two bucks? They lost a tip and our business for $2. read more

Food and service was great! Smaller diner so don't be surprised if you have to wait for a seat, but tables rotate through rather quickly. This was my first visit but won't be my last. read more

I lived in grand forks my whole life and was just introduced to this place a couple years ago. I don't know how this place was kept from me for so long. Hands down the best breakfast and lunch in town. They just extended their hours which is great because sometimes you just need Darcy's in the late afternoon/early evening. Highly recommend. read more

Loved it! Fun greasy spoon, family place. The German sausage in the omelette was tasty. A great breakfast place to eat while in Grand Forks ND. One hint: it's a small place, so it can only accommodate tables of 4 or smaller. read more
