I sure miss this place. It always had a great atmosphere, tender steaks and the Alfredo was the best in minot. bring it back.

The service was painfully slow, bordering on incompetent. Three dishes were not as described, and one arrived stone cold. After the food arrived, it took five minutes for them to bring the cutlery. My request for warm food was not resolved. They did subtract the price of one meal, but getting the bill took another 10 minutes. Will not be back! read more

Service was slow. Tried to pass off a 10 oz ribeye as a 14 oz (and gristly). The waitress kept forgetting my drink. All of this right before I had to be at work of course. NEVER the f@@k again! read more

Ground Round - What is supposed to be a "14oz." steak - Bars Near Me - Minot, North Dakota

A group of us (4 to 8) used to go here on Fridays for a drink and Hors d'oeuvres. We stopped because the prices went up and the size of the portions went down. We met there again tonight and it was horrible. The oven was broke and the waitress said it had been for MONTHS! read more

Went there for a second time in 30 days with the family tonight. Again we walked in and waited for a hostess to come and seat us. Never came so we left. This has happened 2 times now recently. Love the place but we are growing apart from it due to staffing issues read more

June 17, 2015 Wednesday at 5:30 PM for dinner 9 adults and 2 kids Atmosphere - 4 stars Food - 4 stars Service - 5 stars Background - Invited to dinner by close family friends. Atmosphere - A regional chain restaurant, but the art work on the walls feels disjoined. Food Drinks - A water and a Leinenkugel's Honey Weiss. This a good summer time beer. Appetizers - We went through a lot of the free popcorn. The popcorn is almost as good as movie theater popcorn. We also had an order of onion rings. The rings were nothing special. They were heavenly breaded; I like the breading to be light to point where you can still see the onions. Dinner - I had the inferno burger. The heat was not there. The jalapeno peppers were not fresh, almost waxy in appearance. The burger was cooked well. Service - For a large group she took care of us well. Drinks never ran out. Future - Perhaps. read more

See all

It was OK, nothing special. Had the "Italian nachos" decent flavor, could have been cheesier read more

I love the bar here. The salads are great and the atmosphere is really relaxed.

Ground Round is one our favorite restaurants in Minot. The employees are always friendly and the food is great. Can't forget the ranch with the popcorn! read more

Ground Round - Bars Near Me - Minot, North Dakota

Now that we have returned to some level of normalcy and able to return to the "old watering hole", I have returned finding the old crew still in place. One thing that caught my eye was the "super deep clean" of the facility the management staff undertook during the "stay at home" orders. They were cleaned and polished from top to bottom. Hats off to them and spending the time to make Ground Round - Minot look awesome and them showing the public they care. Great Job Nick and the staff!! Beer and apps continue to be super! read more

Food took hella long and food wasn't hot. A lot of money for nasty food. They add more stuff like ranch into the bill which I didn't ask for. Restaurant in minot gotta do better. read more

Had a great first experience at Ground around. Brought four kids in for Sunday lunch, only to find that they are a penny a pound for kids meals! Paid less that $2.00 total for all four kids meals! I had the black and bleu burger, it was pretty good. We'll be coming back for sure. read more

Went to dinner with a large group. We had two vegetarians in our group and I must say that for a restaurant of this kind I was shocked that there was not one actual vegetarian meal on the menu. We both picked a dish with grilled chicken on it and asked for the chicken to be removed. I had the Texas tangler salad minus the grilled chicken. It had beans, corn, salsa, fried onions and ranch & BBQ sauce. It was a pretty darn good salad. Our server was good. The food arrived hot, relatively fast and correct. I would return. read more

The Ground Round was right up the road from where I lived for years. I loved to swing bye for Ice Cold Blue Moon and Chicken Wings. Watched a lot of games in this bar and the service was always good. read more

If you are high risk for covid at all, avoid this restaurant. We were seated, and then the only other people in the restaurant were seated in the very next booth. Our server wore no mask and was obviously very short of breath, which led to him wheezing across our table and on our food. This was concerning, so we wrapped up our meal quickly (wildly over-salted and the meat was unsafely cold), paid our bill after correcting a charge for an item that we ordered and never received, and left quickly. Do not recommend for safety on several levels. read more

Do not go to this restaurant. Period. The service was awful, the drinks were awful, and the food was awful. Just went here last night for a friend's birthday. Staff didn't bother asking if it was a special occasion or if we had ever been there before. Returned the drinks to the bar because the LITs were way too dark and just tasted like Coke - so our waitress told us to just order something else because they "just push a button and that's the drink mix," so if we didn't like it, that's all we were getting. Not sure why any "bar" would be using auto-pours on a LIT, but I can tell you, it's not working. I ordered a water first with the intention of ordering a glass of wine, but the server never gave me a chance - she just brought the water and moved on. Everyone at the table ordered burgers, and I got a salad. The taco salad was $13, which is fairly expensive for a simple salad at a family, chain restaurant. My salad was this sad, wilty mess, and everyone else's burgers looked like skinny hockey pucks. Seriously BLACK on the outside. None of us finished our meals. The waitress saw that our food had been pushed around on our plates and not eaten, but didn't ask how the food was or see if we needed anything. (One of the girls at the table did order a turkey sandwich, which she said was good, but it's a deli sandwich, so it was a safe call. If you go here, order the turkey sandwich, apparently!) We all left hungry and went for drinks and dessert somewhere else. Look, I realize the Ground Round is not a five-star restaurant. But it should be up to the same caliber as other American eateries like Applebee's or Chili's or Ruby Tuesdays, and it was beyond disappointing. There are lots of other restaurants in this category in Minot - go to one of them instead. read more

I ordered the fiesta salad with chicken. After 45 minutes it was served with ice cold chicken, not Luke warm but COLD. They took it back and brought me another. The chicken warm and dry and tough . Too many restaurants around to repeat that mistake. read more

Kristen is 1 of the best there is... We come in there on Sunday afternoons and she makes so enjoyable been there always on top of it all. 10 stars for sure read more

I see now why no reviews. Yuck! Onion rings were mushy, I've never had mushy rings. The cheese sticks were hard &the chicken strips were just bad. How do you fudge up fryer foods? Oh & runny ranch yuck read more

Made a college visit over to Minot, ND. Whilst the girls ate with the softball team, another parent and I went to Ground Round for dinner. When we arrived the place was a disaster. Idk if they had been super busy or what but the popcorn was all over the floor. Anywho we still give it a chance. The tortilla soup was good, the potatoes skins were tasteless and returned and replaced with a Chicken Quesadilla , The fajitas were REALLY good. Blood Mary was delish and in special. Waiter was attentive. So all in all it was a ok place. And btw when we left the restaurant was back in order and clean. read more

If you want your meat cooked less then medium well, then don't bother. My wife ordered the black and blue burger and asked to have it medium, and was told that they don't cook it less then medium well unless requested. We said yes that's why we are requesting medium with a little pink. When the food was brought, we were told here is your medium well burger. Wait. No we said medium. And we're then told that no we don't cook the meat less then medium well. We then heard the kitchen staff discussing us in the kitchen, and that they don't cook any meat less then medium well to well. If I wanted to eat shoe leather, I'd go to the shoe store. read more

GOOD FOOD!! Nice restaurant, good service, one of the few good eateries I've found in Minot... A family favorite for us!!

I was in 2 nights in a row as I was staying in the Holiday Inn. Both nights I sat at the bar and the service was great. The bar tenders were both friendly and attentive to me. The meals I ordered came out promptly and were hot and what I expected of this style of chain restaurant. I would definitely come to this location again read more

I have been in the Ground Round in Bismarck and it's wonderful! This one is not, however. My husband and I sat at the bar to receive good service but even though there were two bartenders with a half empty bar, it did not happen. My husband had a beer and I had a soda. The bartender didn't offer me another when empty because "well, you are only drinking a Sprite." We had wanted to eat but we're not offered menus at any time. Now we knew why the place was about empty! read more

If I could give less than 1 star, I would. We started off the disappointing meal by ordering our drinks. About 15-20 minutes later we received our drinks, 1 incorrect, and were finally able to order. About an hour or so later we received our food. Out of 5 plates, 4 of them were cold. Nothing tasted as we had remembered from previous visits-none for the better. We'll explore other options in the future and I suggest you do the same. read more

This has got to be the worst service I have ever received. I can count on one hand the amount of times our waitress MEGAN came to our table. Not only did she seem very off put and almost rude, but never once came to ask us if we needed anything. We ended up having to call over 2 different waitresses and the manager for refills. The food was fair to be the nicest. Luke warm burgers, overdone cheese sticks and a shitty salad. If you're going to have a restaurant that just microwaves precooked meals, atleast have the decency to try and hide it. This was just plane terrible. Will never go again. read more

I see no need to go in to the menu because it's ground round for gods sake. Pretty much Applebee's with popcorn and maybe slightly less inspiring food. I go only for the tortilla soup. That's the one thing that can always taste good. Cajun or spicy chicken sandwich is usually good but sometimes come out rubbery sometimes just ok. No reason to go out of your way. If you are starving and you can't handle a short drive across Minot and must eat while on that particular area of town then by all means stop in to eat otherwise don't raise your expectations and don't say you weren't warned read more

Here now, atmosphere looks okay, not bad for small town. My food was okay, more bread than anything for a clubhouse burger. Grabbed shrimp tacos which were not that great and that food was stone cold. The waiter didnt care all that much either. This place is a bust I will definitely not be returning here that's for sure. Sad part is this place was recommended, guess McDonalds it is!!! read more

Food was meh for the wait time. They had my vehicle towed while I was at State Fair. I will never eat or go near this restaurent ever again!!! read more

i think their food is pretty good. The pretzel sandwich is very good. service was good as well.

The food was pretty good. But you have to watch the bartender. I asked for a draft beer, without asking what size I was poured a half liter instead of a pint which I figured I'd be getting. When ordering my food, she asked if I wanted the full or half portion. I asked for the half (not sure if that's what I got, but it was a lot of food) and got charged for the full price. read more

Don't expect the food to even resemble the photos in the menu. I expect that at Mikey D's, but not when paying close to $10 for a cheesesteak. This was also the norm for everyone else in our party. We did arrive late, but not at closing. Server was pleasant but food arrived Luke warm...I would suggest finding another place to eat. read more

I gave it a one because a negative number was not an option! horrendous service... bad food... and rude, unaccommodating, poorly dressed managers! No one smiles and the bartenders pick and choose who they extend heavy liquor pours to. read more
