    Californication

    Loved their quick service, dog-friendly patio, and delicious food! I thought the sunscreen in the caddy was such a thoughtful touch. We got the shredded chicken sandwich and the californication burger. both were so good but i'd definitely get the chicken sandwich again. their dr pepper bbq sauce was off the chain. we brought our dog on the patio and they brought her a water bowl and a little bowl of whipped cream!

    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.

    Big Mac N' Cheese Burger (Regular fries)

    This place looks great and menu looks like a bang with each item. Definitely coming back and trying more next time! Hope you all enjoy :)

    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!!

    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!

She would always ask if I needed anything, how I was doing and even brought me a box right away when I said I probably wouldn't finish the pancake as opposed to waiting until my bill arrived. This is your normal standard family restaurant. Lots of elderly are here and it's due to the classic homestyle cooking and easy parking lot. The bad: when I entered, the sign said wait to be seated and so I did. They have 1 person running the register which does clog up because when you are done eating here, you walk up and pay. This caused confusion into who is waiting to be seated vs. paying. I stood around for 10 minutes before a staff member offered to help. Staff should know who is coming and going but I have compassion when it gets busy. I pointed to the sign and said is it seat yourself? The staff member looked confused so I told her that I have been waiting on a table. It shouldn't take 10 minutes to iron out customers. Recommendations include another staff member at the front to control new walk ins to mitigate confusion or better attention from the staff at the register. The ugly: I thought I left my wireless mouse there as I worked from my computer. When I called to inquire about my missing item, the staff member was rude , she put me on hold after I stated my reason for calling and said she needed to help another customer. When she came back on the line, she proceeded to not really care about my ask, couldn't hear my ask correctly in the first place and then asked where I was sitting. This was such a turn off for me. Food is a 4. Service is a 2.5.

It's iconic. Located in the heart of downtown, don't skip on this experience. Offering both bar and table seating, the service is quick and the menu is darling. I would only come here for breakfast because it's served all day and I'm a brunch fanatic. Contrary, a lunch menu is offered and they are supposedly known for their salad bar and soup to which I saw a few tables ordering. I opted in for the breakfast sandwhich which was the right size for me. Many spots these days give way too much food and this was just enough. It even came with two hash brown triangles like the ones from middle school bringing back all the nostalgia. Zero crumbs were left. I will definitely return as I want to try some of the pancake and French toast options. Thank you, Marge's Diner, for being so accommodating and not trying to be anything fancy. I admire the theme, setup, service, decor and prices. Bravo!!!

Overall, it's a charming diner with a classic atmosphere that's worth experiencing if you're looking for a taste of nostalgia.
