When things had finally stabilized we decided to take ourselves out and landed at Lucky 13's. This is my kinda joint. Pub atmosphere, perfect (free) popcorn, fantastic retro tuneage, and speedy, efficient service are a given. The food is next level nom nom. They're one of the few restaurants out there that does a Monte Cristo sammich and when it's paired with their custom L13 Tots? Epicurean delights abound. The only reason I'm giving the experience 4 stars (rather than 5) is because their checkout process is entirely too old school. And the pen I was given to sign the receipt had little-to-no ink left in it. I know. Seems petty. But when it takes so long to do the whole card-bill-process-return dance that asking for a better writing utensil seems like a huge effort? Yup.

Our experience in Fargo North Dakota was much different. The staff here was amazingly sweet... I think they call it North Dakota nice.

We sat in the bar two separate occasions and both sets of bartenders and weight staff were amazingly sweet. The jukebox was on but not too loud and the televisions were running football and hockey but not overly loud so conversations could be had. Let's be honest it's Fargo... There's not a lot of choices for casual eats especially than walking distance of a hotel. This fit the bill and while our final bill was a little bit higher than what I was expecting we tend to forget how many cocktails we are drinking so that is not on them.
