    Avocado Burger
    James V.

    Delightfully dated/retro decor and a fun menu make Pounds a must-visit next time you're in Fargo.

    The Grail
    Lilly H.

    Tried this place out for the first time and it was so good! Super cute inside and delicious food! I was recommended Pounds from a local who raved about it. The burger may look messy but it was delicious ate it up in no time. Service was good, friendly and food came out very quickly.

    Chicken club.
    Rod S.

    I really was expecting more. Nothing bad to say but every other triple d place we have visited left a better impression. Had the club and the ladies split a chicken strip basket. Also had the pulled chicken mac and cheese. Really just average. The sauces were excellent though.

    The Grail burger & Torch sauce
    Wendy H.

    I always go for the grail with a side of torch sauce. 10/10 would recommend if you want a good burger in the area.

    Two gray, waaaaay overcooked patties that tastes like school lunch. Extremely disappointing.

    Only thing that saved this was the truffle fries... although they forgot them in the first place. Worst burger in Fargo.

    Can't remember which burger this was but it was good - skip the Mac n cheese!
    Val T.

    Solid burger, good ambiance, friendly staff and amazing selection of hot sauces! The sides just aren't it though. Mac n cheese is like rubbery and dry. The sweet potato fries were deflated and flavorless.

    By far my favorite restaurant in Fargo, ND! I've been eating here for several years now. It started in college, I'd go and do homework on the weekends. Now, graduated and in their new location, my love is still there. I'm not sure what I love more, the food, the drinks, or all the plants. Being able to eat with the bright windows and succulents surrounding me is so amazing. I love all their different dipping sauces and burgers the most. Please try the Big Mac n' Chz burger with jalapeño cheddar ranch for your fries. There will be no regrets. I of course love the servers. Some are still there from my college days and they always welcome me and my friends

    Came here to meet an old friend, no idea what to expect... and WOW. This place is so bougie and cute! Lots of cool decals and props and decor that really completes the space. The cool part is on the far wall, the window tiles reflect the light as the train drives by! Got seated almost immediately, and server came over plenty of times, just forgetting one water. 10/10 service, was kind, great customer service, and quick. The menu is found on the barcode labeled "food and dranks". Menu is easy to navigate online and had a LOT of good items I wanted to try, but I couldn't try them all! I ordered the loaded chicken bacon ranch mac & cheese. I didn't know what to expect when ordering ranch on cheesy noodles, and it honestly wasn't my favorite, but I have so many other things to try that I could like better. My friend liked her food, only complaint was the parmesan made the noodles seem extra salty. our chicken was cooked to perfection, and burger was delicious. Cardboard packaging and electronic payment machines. Will be back!!

    Vegetarian Californication Burger
    Emma B.

    Wow this place was SUCH a good vibe! We both subbed impossible patties to make our burgers vegetarian and they were delicious. Really liked the Dr Pepper Bbq sauce and will look forward to trying more of their variety of sauces in the future! Service was quick and friendly. Music was good too !!

    Pounds is officially one of my favorite places in Fargo. It's really a foodie's dream- if you love fun food in an aesthetic, vibing atmosphere! I had to come check it out after I had seen so many people I knew go, and then freaking Guy Fieri went for DDD. Drinks-- fabulous! Food-- very good! Inside setup-- YES! They even have adorable colored picnic tables outside so you can sit with some fresh air or bring your doggo along. Another thing, is that from the name 'Pounds' I thought they'd mainly be a burger and beer place, or kind of just your typical American grub. But their menu has so much more than that- wings, burgers (of course), chicken sandwiches, vegan bowls, a ridiculous variety of mac n cheeses, and I'm sure I left something else out. So there's a lot more than meets the eye! Really, I am so impressed that Pounds is in a place like Fargo, it feels like a place that should be in a big city where there's tons of little diners and similar places that have their own charm and fun. Pounds is ahead of the times, man. Respect!

    good food!!

The burger selection is honestly impressive. With 50+ specialty burgers on the menu, there's something for everyone--from classic builds to bold creations piled high with unique toppings. The quality of the beef stands out: juicy, flavorful, and cooked just right. Even the buns hold up well against the towering stacks. Beyond burgers, they've got solid appetizers (the fried pickles and cheese curds are local favorites), good wings, and a wide beer selection featuring regional and national brews. Portion sizes are generous, so come hungry. Service is typically friendly and fast-paced, even when it's busy--which it often is. It's a popular spot for a reason. Overall: Great food, fun atmosphere, and tons of variety. If you love creative burgers and a lively setting, Sickies Garage in Fargo delivers.

For an appetizer, I ordered the cheese curds, they were hot, but very average. Not bad, not great, just your standard bar-style curds. For my meal, I decided to try something different and went with the donut burger. Definitely an odd combo, but it was fun to try while in town. Flavor-wise, it was fine, unique, but not something I'd order again. The mac and cheese side, though, was a miss. Easily one of the weakest parts of the meal. I'm not sure why so many restaurants struggle with mac and cheese but still feel confident charging extra for it. On the bright side, the $5 happy hour drinks were great, generous pours and a solid bartender. Overall, this place is your average, run-of-the-mill sports bar. Nothing special, but not bad if you're just looking for a casual spot to grab a drink and a bite.

    "He had white horses And ladies by the score…read moreAll dressed in satin And waiting by the door Ooh, what a lucky man, he was" (Emerson, Lake, and Palmer) Lucky's 13 Pub is a large pub with a prominent U-shaped bar and plenty of table and chair and booth seating. The menu has the usual pub fare - wings, burgers, salads, and sandwiches. But on Saturdays and Sundays from 9-1, the menu expands to things like omelets, hash, Benedicts and breakfast sandwiches. So, when our Friday night hotel bartender recommended Lucky's for breakfast, well, we knew where we'd be headed. The breakfast service we encountered on Saturday was extraordinary, so hats off to our server Beth. Our party of ten walked in when breakfast opened, and she quickly set up a few long tables for our group. Oh, and she set out two coloring activities and crayons for the two young guests in our group. Our breakfast started with complimentary bowls of popcorn and we saw some very interesting eye openers on the menu, like a Breakfast Punch (with Rum, orange and pineapple juice, strawberry purée, and ginger ale), a Lucky's Blueberry Pancake Shooter (with Stoli Blueberry vodka, Butterscotch, Orange Bacardi, and a slice of bacon) and a Keoki Coffee (with Kahlua, Baileys Irish Cream, coffee and whipped cream). We passed on these alcoholic temptations; Beth took our orders flawlessly and the food started rolling out of the kitchen in no time. We started off with a order of Beignets for the table ($9.99) - "Deep-fried beignets made with croissant dough, topped with powdered sugar & a side of strawberry jam. I tried one and it was very good -piping hot, light as a feather, but surprisingly not greasy. My wife ordered a Ham and Cheese Omelet ($13.99 served with her choice of toast and a side of fresh fruit, home fries or cheesy baked hash browns. It was a generous portion and the fruit cup she ordered was fresh and tasty. My Cajun Hash ($15.49 with Andouille disks, shredded chicken, two big shrimp, peppers, onions, cheesy hash, & scrambled eggs) was one of the best breakfasts I've had all year. It was a gigantic portion, and I was more than full with half of it. Beth was automatic with the coffee refills, was very sweet dealing with the two children in our party and gladly gave our couples separate checks. One very cool thing we saw was a "Treasure chest" full of children's toys, coloring books, and activities as freebies for the little darlings that visit. These weren't junky dollar store toys, but some nice stuff. We could not have been happier with our breakfast at Lucky's 13.
