In town for work. Walked because the sign said beers and burgers. Opened the door and I knew instantly I was in for perfection. To sit at a bar amongst strangers, eat an incredible burger and drink a cold beer - quite perfect. Can't wait for my next trip back. Thank you for great food, service, atmosphere and experience. read more

Had lunch here and ate at the bar. Ordered the Totally Slaw Burger and it was quite good. Side of their fresh cut fries was a great accompaniment. Have a multitude of craft beers on tap. Inside space of this downtown location is narrow with limited seating, but still a great ambience. read more

This bar/eatery is what made me first fall in love with Fargo, the cutest up-and-coming city with genuinely some of the nicest people. It was located just around the corner from my hotel. Super easy to find. When I walked in, I sat at the far end of the bar. I can imagine this place gets super crowded with a small kitchen and limited seating. Not ideal for groups. Good beer selection seen on the rotating TV screen behind the bar. Lots of excellent California drafts, but I'm from there, so I tend towards anything from the Midwest. For dinner, I got the Bacon Cheddarpeno Burger with a side of Dill Pickle Fries & Jalapeño Ranch Dressing. SO good and properly spicy. My mouth waters just thinking about this upscale pub fare. Lots of seasoning and dip options. Service is great too. read more

Stopped in for a quick bite and we loved it so much! Fast service, delicious food and chill vibe! 10/10 would recommend and come again. Thank you Aron for great service! read more

I've been to JL Beers so many times over the years. I don't tire of eating their burgers and amazing chips. Most of the time I call in an order to go to either bring back to my desk or for the way home. Sometimes I will pop in and have a seat. While I switch up the burgers, my most often go-to is the Not Just A Nutter Burger. Fresh peanut butter, red pepper jelly, jalapeños, pepperjack cheese and bacon. Such a great combination. I initially thought peanut butter sounded crazy until I was talked into trying it and it works so well with a burger. read more

JT Beers is the place to go if you want a good burger in downtown Fargo. The bun had a toasty layer and the cheese generously draped the entire burger. To add you can order from a number of microbrews. My server was spirited and I thought the entire atmosphere had a very good vibe. read more

Stopped in for a beer with my sister and looked at the menu, looked interesting! Went there two days later for Saturday lunch - everything is separate. No burger/fries, no sandwich/side, and the price of those fries and sides - unreasonable. Yeah, very unlikely we will go back. read more

Great food, can't believe I waited so long to try this place. Burgers are so good and fries are fresh and cut in front of you.

Great burgers, lots of beer choice, friendly atmosphere. We'll be back. Staff ready to serve, very responsive. strongly recommend

Great burgers and chips were hand made. My husband had coleslaw that was delicious. Fast and friendly service.

A great stop for good food and a phenomenal beer selection! JL Beers has "beers" right in the name, so you'd expect some great beer and they did not disappoint! This is a very cool hangout spot in a fun part of Fargo. The food is top notch and the beers are plentiful and cold! They have special promotions where they select a certain beer and whoever is the person who orders that beer and finished the keg will win a prize! The restrooms are big and clean and the staff was all super friendly and helpful. I will definitely be back the next time I find myself in Fargo! read more

Gayle graduated many years ago from Moorhead State and upon hearing of her return, friends suggested that she stop at Mick's Office for old time sake. So around Lunch one day, we stopped by and after several minutes realized that you sometimes can't go home again. So we left and headed over to JL Beers for our mid-day meal. JL Beers is located across the side street from the Hotel Donaldson. It's a small and somewhat narrow space, but we able to snag a booth away from the bar. Good things can come in small packages, as the beer selection was generous and our burgers were amazing (with cajun fries). For a great Midwest burger, you really can go home again. Service was down home friendly and being able to fill out a couple of their postcards to tell the folks back home was a very cool extra touch. read more

Good food and great ambiance. Their burgers are some of the best I've had. Good value for the price. Miss the Moorhead location. Service always very good - servers are pleasant and friendly. read more

Great experience at JL Beers. Had a quick meal with a hockey crew and the service was quick, efficient and the food was great!

Burger was good. Server seemed focused on getting you out of there asap and poured beers teo inches short with a foam head to save $$. I mean on a coors light you need to short the customer 2 inches of beer? She said yes, that's their policy. read more

It might seem trivial, but this was one of the first restaurants my fiancé and I have eaten inside at since the Covid quarantine. It was clean, at that particular time it wasn't jampacked. Servers were attentive. Food was amazing, as always! Beer was cold and tasty as well. read more

Beautiful little place, it's small but boy do they have a large choice of Burgers, I'd say maybe best in town, but I love a good burger, and I say that about several places! Great service, great selection of beers!! read more

The best place to grab a burger and a beer in Fargo. My favorite burger is the Humpty Dumpty, which is topped with a fried egg. Add bacon. They make their fries and chips fresh cut and deep fried. Love the shoestring fries dipped in their Chipolte dip. Drool.... While there are now several JL's around the area, they are small and seating is limited. Avoid going at peak hours if you don't want to wait for a seat to open up. Not a great place for groups. I love to cozy up at the bar and contemplate my next beer selection while devouring my burger and fries. .......... Dear JL, Please open a location in Minneapolis. I promise to frequent you on a regular basis. Thanks, Tino read more

Hard pressed to ever find a better burger anywhere. Buns are great, potatoes are great, beers are great. Eric O is Great.

Stopped in late last night after a baseball game. The waitress was friendly and helped me select a Rajun Cajun burger and fresh cut fries with garlic Parmesan dressing. This was one of the best burgers I've had in a long time. When I'm back in Fargo I'll definitely stop in again. read more

Good, but pricey for burgers and chips. Impressive beer selection, and they'll let you sample (but unfortunately I didn't have the time or inclination for it). One nice thing: the chips were fresh made (they're ribbon chips, carnival style), and they gave you quite a lot of them. read more

We were looking for a place for a few beers and some decent bar food after being on the losing end of the NDSU-Colgate game and wanted to check out downtown Fargo. Enter JL Beers. OK, it has to be said: Kind of a lame, food-court name but I guess it works for a small franchise. Besides that, the place was great. We walked in, took seats at the bar and were soon informed and served by a very friendly bartender. My wife and friend both ordered beers but I can't remember what they ordered or if they liked them. I'll assume they did. I ordered a Flannel Mouth cider on tap, which may be my new favorite cider. As far as food goes, I ordered a BLT BLU, which is JL Beers' bacon and blue cheese burger. Excellent. And not as messy as I expected--my striking gray fleece pullover remained spot-free. I asked for the homemade chips with dill pickle seasoning as the side to my burger and they were perfect. There's something about freshly made potato chips. They're individual and combined at the same time. You can break off one or pull the entire thing up to your mouth and eat it like an apple. I prefer the former over the latter. You can space out your chips with your meal and as an added bonus, you don't look like a gluttonous jerk. The burger and chips cost $6.99. I'll write that again: The burger and chips cost $6.99. As someone who has seen the price of a simple hamburger skyrocket in Chicago, thanks to numerous noteworthy chefs opening a stream of urban burger places to, you know, "make the kind of food I like to eat," I've had enough of the $15 burger. It was nice to get a great deal on a really great meal, with no pretentious claims on the menu or wall. JL Beers is a small place and they're pretty smart about how they use their space. Just a few tables on the side and a bunch of seats at the bar. They made our chips at the other end of the bar so they're using every spot that they can. I like that it's small. You can actually watch games and talk to the people around you. It's an intimate place but in a bearded hipster sort of way. And that's not an insult. The bearded hipsters we encountered seemed genuine so maybe they weren't hipsters afterall. Or maybe hipsters--when they're not forced to squeeze into the cupcake pans that angry baby boomers want to force them into, are nice people. Imagine that. I know people can go overboard on the Fargo hospitality thing but it was very real when we were there. From the Bison fans at the FargoDome to the staff and other patrons at JL Beers, everyone was open and welcoming. I love random discussions with people so the entire day was a nice reminder that yes, there are people who are willing to strike up a conversation with people they don't know. I don't know if that covers all of Fargo, but it was very much a part of what I experienced--so much so that I'd like to come back one day and check out the city. And when I do, I'm sure I'll be stopping here again. read more
