    Medina Cafe

    What a great little spot virtually in the middle of nowhere, otherwise known as North Dakota. We spent the night in Fargo and there were lots of breakfast places but my son insisted we drive an hour and a half to the tiny town of Medina (Ma-dine-uh) for breakfast. He frequents this cafe when he is in the area duck hunting. The outside is bedraggled and the decor/atmosphere was exactly what you would expect for the setting. The only other patrons were the local priest and a gaggle of church ladies. The menu was small but covered all the basics of breakfast. Mom and I had eggs, toast, and a meat while DD had pancakes. She tried to order 3 but the waitress advised her they were big. When they arrived she was glad she hadn't ordered three. She could barely finish the two. They were the thick fluffy pancakes you'd expect from such a home town sort of place. The coffee was hot, satisfying and our cups were always full. My son advised that at dinner they serve you ice cream or cake as part of the meal. There were some goodies for sale and DD picked a peanut butter and chocolate rice krispie bar for a snack down the road. It was very tasty! If you find yourself in tiny quiet town of Medina stop by and try this blast from the past. W

    Pizza Ranch - Ice cream - resembles DQ

    So you thought that buffets were dead after Covid? I am happy to report that their death is…read moregreatly exaggerated and Pizza Ranch is alive and well. Dinner here tonight - $2 off for seniors (score!) Is this gourmet pizza? No. Is is pretty good? The toppings are great. I'm not real enamored with the thin crust, but the thick crust is good. Despite the name over the door, it's probably the pizza that's the weak link here. The salad bar is pretty decent, they keep things freshened up, no brown lettuce when I was there. The chicken appears to be broasted? I dunno, it tastes pretty good and the skin is nice and crispy. The ice cream they have for desert exceeded my expectations - I'd say comparable to DQ soft serve. Service consists of young kids bussing dirty dishes - they did well. I walked away absolutely stuffed, and my wallet wasn't much thinner either. I wouldn't make a regular habit of going here, but if you are staying at a nearby hotel like I was, it makes for an easy affordable dinner with a little something for everyone.

    Rant. I'm not one to usually complain publicly. But we went to Pizza Ranch for lunch today around 1…read moreit's currently 3:12. Ordered a custom pizza due to my allergies. Waited almost 1.5-2 hours, couldn't find an employee. Once one did come out I asked about my order and was told they'd check and never came back out. Tables were filthy and piled with plates from lunch customers the entire time we were there.
