Was really excited for this place when I saw the menu online. Way more unique options than your standard franchise deli, you know? And maybe I just picked the wrong sandwich, cuz the flavors truly didn't do it for me. But also the white bread they put the fixings into really detracted from the overall flavor. Blehhh. Still though, high rating from me because the establishment was really swanky on the inside, lots of clean spacious seating. A patio as well to eat outside. Soda fountain had some flavor shot options. The employees were all friendly and attentive. Clean restrooms (though they were individual stalls and gender segregated for no reason...). Also the pricing was a little steep but not horrid by today's exorbitant standards. Paid $11 for a 6"er. read more

1 star because Yelp won't let me put ZERO stars. Where to start.... Save your money and don't eat this crap! SO disappointed. The potatoes were COLD, DRY, and had a weird seasoning, which they shouldn't have been cold or dry because I requested them as a side. The gluten free bread WAS good, and I will say it would have been a decent deli sandwich, maybe like an Italian sub or BLT, but that bread as a breakfast sandwich...holy bread! I should have bought a baguette at Walmart and saved my $10+ on a piece of bread with a limp piece of bacon, enough egg to feed a family of 10, and a piece of cheddar cheese that wasn't even melted. This place was SO disappointing and I left starving - didn't event finish my food and should have asked for a refund. Sandwich and potatoes were absolutely disgusting - dry, cold, flavorless. I know this isn't the east coast where deli sandwiches are superiors, but cmon. there's better quality found at McDonald's. I'm not a particular person and I cannot just emphasize enough how gross and disappointing this was. Service was fine, they were nice and as expected. Ambiance was like that of a subway, not a mom and pop type of restaurant. read more

Smiling Moose Rocky Mountain Deli - Single piece of bacon on my sandwich that was part of the "egg, cheese, bacon" sandwich.., excuse me?? - Delis Near Me - Fargo, North Dakota

See all

I ordered the Italiano salad for take out and it didn't disappoint. Perfect size that filled me up without feeling stuffed, a generous amount of meat mixed well the lettuce. The Italian herb dressing was spot on and I added a little vinegar and oil, it was a perfect mix. read more

it's very good, but very messy. I'll suggest a wrap for the first time to try to manage the mess. I had a bagget and the sand which wouldnt stay together. read more

me and my fiancé came here on a road trip right as it opened and it was incredible. the service was quick and polite and the food was amazing. i wish there was one of these restaurants where i live read more

I always get the motherload. It's an amazing sandwich and full of flavor! Way better then any other sandwich shop! read more

So yummy. Got the mountain club. Definitely coming back when I'm in town. If you're craving a sandwich, come here.

Delicious!!! My wife is a vegetarian and she enjoyed the green thumb sandwich and tomato basil soup while I devoured the Buck'in Branco. We will be back for sure read more

Excellent lunch had the Beef and Blue salad! Really clean and very good quality of food for the price! The others in my group had sandwiches that were all delicious. The soup was fresh as well. I would definitely recommend going! read more

Smiling Moose Rocky Mountain Deli - The Beef & Bleu! Delicious! - Delis Near Me - Fargo, North Dakota

This is a create your own sandwich which was supposed to only have turkey bacon and mayo, it came with cheese as well. I could look past the mistake of adding cheese on any other occasion but when out of the paper that they serve it to you in it looks as mangled as this that contritous attitude seems to allude me. The cashiers were not only disrespectful but distracted throughout the entire experience not to mention the fact that the sandwich was drowned in mayo and soggy. If yelp allowed me I would rate this establishment 0/5. This is not a place you want to go if you want to enjoy your food. read more

Smiling Moose Rocky Mountain Deli - Wild Turkey Sandwich - Delis Near Me - Fargo, North Dakota

Stopped here for a quick lunch during a conference for work and wasn't disappointed at all! They have a BIG selection of sandwich options and a little something for everyone! I had the Southwest Mo! and boy was it GOOD! Chopped sirloin with melted cheese...topped with lettuce, avocado, chipotle mayo, salsa, and pickles. Holy Smokes what a treat! It was appropriately spicy and completely filling. They do offer gluten-free baguette as an option, so that's nice to see. There were many other options there that caught my eye and look forward to coming back and trying some of them out. With both hot and cold sandwich and wraps, there's plenty to choose from. Also on the menu are salads and soups and even a kid's menu! Surprised to see that they offer all-day breakfast choices too (wraps & skillets). All in all, a good experience here and will be back! read more

First of all, the lady behind the counter hasn't even tried the food. Secondly, there was another lady in the back who was airing her business about her life and finally the worst, I ordered a mighty sandwich, the 12 inch, not the 6 inch. I asked her for some extra napkins, she said I can only give you 1 napkin because," We don't normally give extra napkins." That remark, motivated me to write a review. I'm all for supporting small businesses, but seriously, a napkin. Sandwich wasn't that bad tho, but had way too much sauce and dripped over my clothes. Only if I had extra napkins. read more

Couldn't eat past the first few bites. I love Reuben sandwiches and ordered the Ridgeline (same ingredients). I always order this sandwich if it's available at a restaurant and never met one I didn't like until today. The bread was not toasted and was soggy and the meat was thick sliced with lots of chewy/fatty pieces. The proportions of meat to cheese to kraut was so off and the sauce sub par. Very disappointed that I need to get a new lunch. read more

This is an update to my previous review, in which I gave them 2 stars. At the time, I felt the price was way too high for what you got. Well, the owner sent me a message here, asking me to try it again. I had already decided I would, since any bad experience could just be a fluke. I appreciate the time he took to reach out to me and the fact that he reads the reviews here is great. So, I went back again, and got the pastrami sandwich again, with everything on it. I also ordered a bottled drink, instead of something from the fountain. They were pretty busy, but since it was a Saturday, they weren't as busy as they normally are. After I ordered, the girl at the register gave me the credit card slip to sign and the phone rang. Once the phone rang, I was promptly ignored. I stood waiting for my receipt and bottled drink for a long while (a little less than 5 minutes) while she talked on the phone. I finally just gave up and went to join my friend at the table. When the sandwiches were delivered, I was again disappointed. Sure, I could have ordered something different, but I wanted to see if my bad experience last time was a one-shot deal. Unfortunately it wasn't. The sandwich, again, was only about an inch thick, counting the bread. The pastrami was again, about the same quality I could get sliced for me at the deli counter in any grocery store. Overall, I can make better at home for a lower price. My friend was also very disappointed in his sandwich, for pretty much the same reason: not enough meat for the price. I really want this place to be better. Fargo has a shortage of high-quality restaurants, and this place could be great. I have heard from other restauranteurs that it costs more than usual to have food and supplies delivered to Fargo. If that's the case, I can somewhat understand the wide rift between the price vs. what you get.. But then you have to wonder if it would be cheaper to make your own pastrami. A lot of people I know like this place but, unfortunately I have been to other delis. I don't see the big deal here. I will go again and try something different. Maybe that's the key: Their pastrami sucks, but other things might be good. Sorry, Smiling Moose. My rating will remain unchanged for now. read more

Very friendly service and it gets crowded during lunchtime but salad or sandwich was just OK. Nothing special .. My group all agreed that sandwiches here are better than Quizno's but other than that, I don't think it's 5 star sandwich shop. most sandwiches are $8-$9. They do have cool Coca-cola network soda machine though. read more

this is the absolute worst resteraunt service I have received. i felt 100% discriminated against and the worker was a young man with shoulder length dark black hair. he refused to remake and incorrect order and point blank verbally assaulted me. i do not recommend eating here ever. if I could give 9 stars I would. worst $40 ever spent read more

The Mighty MO is mighty delicioso. People will compare this place to Jimmy Johns, Erbs and Gerbs, or maybe even Quiznos. However, the truth is their ingredients and food preparation are leaps and bounds above the rest. Everything is very clean and fresh. The management truly does their best to make sure everyone is satisfied with their experience. Give the tomato bisque soup a try, you will be pleasantly surprised. read more

First thing I hear walking in the door, "And that was the drunkest I had ever been." The Bayou "Grilled Chicken" was pretty horrible. Packaged, pre-cut, processed chicken strips that were barely warmed and the cheese wasn't even melted. The enormous brownies were pretty tasty. Blueberry and pomegranate tea is really good, the mango green tea was good as well. Friendly staff the rest of the time. Clean and nice atmosphere, but not good food. Go to Jimmy Johns instead. read more

Ate here about a month ago. The place was busy, so I thought that it would be something heavenly to rave about. I got some kind of turkey bacon wrap. It was about $8 and not really what I was expecting for the price. There wasn't much turkey in there, nor was there much bacon. There was far more lettuce than anything. I'm not usually one to give a bad review, but paying as much as I did for a wrap that wasn't very big or flavorful is something I'm not inclined to do again. Price isn't worth what I would get. read more

I was in Fargo for work and came across this little gem. I'm from Denver and always looking for quality food establishments. This far exceeded my expectations. The cashier was very nice and had a great conversation with me. The food is awesome. I wasn't expecting it to be that good. You can build your own hot or cold sandwich with quality ingredients. I will definitely be coming back the next time I'm in town. read more

Overall a pretty great lunch place. Portions may be a little small, as some reviewers have complained about, but they are filling. You won't leave the restaurant feeling over-stuffed, but the portions are just right for a light lunch. Don't expect a big meal here. I love my sauces, and the horseradish here was great. Bread was fresh, and the staff was super friendly. My only complaint is the prices are a bit high for the portion size, but I will definitely be returning. read more

The food is fresh with some unique twists to their sandwiches and wraps. I love a Mighty Mo for lunch (think sloppy joe, minus the sloppy, piled high with fresh GREEN lettuce, red tomatoes and banana peppers on a sub style baguette). Just tried El Rancho for breakfast today and it was a fantastic, spicy take on your standard breakfast burrito (really more of a breakfast wrap). The associates are very friendly and I've got to say this place really does leave me smiling every time! read more

Smiling Moose Rocky Mountain Deli - Mighty Mo with a side salad...the taste of a burger meets fresh deli flare! - Delis Near Me - Fargo, North Dakota

$14.00 for build your own combo. Portions are a joke. Purchased an extra side item of macaroni and there was less than half a cup. More bread than chicken salad I ordered. Will not return again. I live in the area. Cashier was nice. Chicken noodle soup looked like dirty dish water. Check your order if you are getting it to go. read more

If you have legitimate food allergy stay away! We had high hopes when stopping for a 3 PM lunch today, but were unfortunately met with an unfriendly, unhelpful staff. The GF menu is in name only. I'm suffering after eating only the shipped-in "gluten free" soup - the attendants do not maintain hygienic practice to claim GF anything. Nor were they interested in explaining, learning, or accommodating our needs. We will not return or recommend to anyone. How unfortunate :( read more

One of my favorite places in the F-M area. The BBQ Mo is the best. On my previous trip, I got the Southwest Mo by mistake and it was a happy accident. I have yet to try something at this place that disappoints. The food is always fresh and the staff is very friendly. read more

Smiling Moose Rocky Mountain Deli - Delis Near Me - Fargo, North Dakota

I had heard of this deli but never been there. Had to go to Casselton and decided to stop there on the way. Wow! I have been missing out on good subs. I got the BBQ Bacon MO.It tasted great and the 12 inch sub was loaded with beef, bacon and BB!. It was outstanding. I saw several other items on their menu that looked good so I will return soon. I also wanted to say that the young man who took my order and the man who gave me my sandwich where both very polite. They appeared to enjoy their jobs. That is always a plus for me. read more

I love this place! They offer vegan/vegetarian options. It's delicious! They work fast and the order always comes out right!

The food is decent but the service at this location is soooo slow. We've even tried ordering ahead of time and it was still just as slow.

Granted we were there after the lunch rush, but no coffee, and then no iced tea and no rush to get it made. When asked about the desireability of the food, the best answer by both of us was "well, the sausage was fairly good." The eggs seemed to have sat for a while, and were not really enticing. read more

This place has awesome sandwiches. Period. Literally the best sandwiches in town. Going to Erbert and Gerbert's, Jimmy Johns, Subway, etc. just isn't the same. You get quality fresh food every time. And I'm not basing this off one experience, I'm basing this off several experiences. read more

What a great place to get fast food. Went with my family and I previously have had the Veggie Mo and hippie chic. Both are delish! My kids really liked it too and on top of it there is choices for everyone's diverse taste buds. You can have them cater and you also can put an order in online. I ordered online tonight before coming home from work and the food was done a few minutes early. Staff is friendly! read more

The Mile-Hi-Thai wrap was amazing. This place is a welcome change from the average/typical sub shops ALL over town. Gourmet sandwiches, fast service and a nice atmosphere. read more

I frequent this place for Lunch downtown. Always packed, which is a good sign. I have tried the Southwest Mo, which is fantastic. My current go-to is the David The Greek Salad... Great portion and doesn't need much dressing as they vegetables are very fresh and the variety is good enough to give it good flavor. It's a little spendy, but considering it is in a pretty high rent location, I'm willing to pay a little more for convenience. Great spot! read more

This is one of my favorite go to places. Staff is always friendly and their food is always good. I just tried the Pavalocinni (sp?) this last weekend for the first time and couldn't believe how good it was. Also, the first time I went there someone recommended the Tomato Basil soup to me. It is the weirdest looking tomato basil soup I've ever seen, but OMG it's awesome!!! I get it almost every time I'm there. Otherwise my go to is the Reuben.. it is huge... and delicious! You won't be disappointed! read more

I love the smiling moose! I've never had a bad experience at either location in Fargo. Lots and lots of possible toppings and condiments. Great wheat bread and vegetable soup. I love the hot and cold sandwiches. Plus, they have a Rewards Card. I've already gotten 2 free large sandwiches and I don't even go more than once or twice per month! read more

Good food, but service is terrible. Took way too long to receive order. Then I paid for a bowl of soup and received a very small cup. Make sure you double check your order before you go. read more

I went here for the first time the other day. I had the Southwest Mo and it was absolutely awesome. I really liked the flavors the sandwich had and the bread was perfect. I don't understand how people say it's not enough food, I'm not exactly a conservative eater and I was stuffed when I left there at 13:00 and did not eat dinner that night because I still felt content. I could have easily saved half the sandwich for another meal if I had chips with it. The staff was incredibly friendly as well and I met the manager Nate who actually went around asking people how things were and conversing with the patrons. I easily will be back. read more

What a great place for a sandwich and soup. Had the NYC roast beef and it was awesome! Hubby had the hot Italian and also was great. The bread is amazing! Worth the stop in fargo read more

After the first time I went to Smiling Moose I now crave it. I have to eat gluten free and this place accommodates me with gluten free hoagies and cookies. I don't know the last time had a good gluten free sandwich. Thank you! read more

Great place with a great selection of food. Tomato Basil soup is great, all home made. Nice to see a Deli in Fargo. One of the few places in Fargo that will let you eat outside with your dog. The owner Nathan is a great guy and all the workers are very friendly. Will return many times!! read more
