With a large menu that spans multiple different options you will definitely find something on the menu for even the pickiest of eaters. The service is always on point as well with our server being fast and efficient to both get us seated and take our order. If you are in Grand Forks and want a great dining experience it's hard to beat the Blue Moose.

5 stars for the service every time we've been here! However, the food…read more.... The First time I came to this restaurant after just moving here, it was amazing. Ordered walleye with potatoes au gratin and both were cooked well and tasted great! However, the problem with this place is that it hasn't been consistent. I've ordered the same thing and it was awful. Our most recent visit, we ordered shrimp scampi, potatoes au gratin, and Mac and cheese. The shrimp were sitting in a dish of butter with minced garlic on top of the shrimp.... not cooked in the butter, just laying on the shrimp. The shrimp couldn't be cut with a fork they were so tough. They tasted microwaved. The potatoes I asked to be well done, burnt even. They came out with the cheese not browned and potatoes underneath were cold... not even hot. I politely told our waitress and explained i didn't want to complain. She was amazing and really tried to make it right. She brought us cheesecake that was the best thing I've had there. I really want to give this place another shot, but it's been so inconsistent which is incredibly disappointing.

Came here on a Friday when it was packed because of the UND game. It is definitely a dive bar, so…read morekeep that in mind with your expectations. The crowd was mostly younger, but it felt like everyone was comfortable and just there to have a good time. We ordered a pizza and jalapeño poppers. The poppers were a miss, there were not many, and the flavor just was not great. The pizza though was solid, and their Friday deal for an extra large at 14 dollars was a nice surprise. They also have a good selection of beers and mixed drinks. Service was rough at first. Our server forgot our ranch and drinks a couple of times, but once another server jumped in to help, things got better. If you are looking for a laid back dive bar with decent food and cheap pizza deals, Joe Blacks is not bad especially if you are already in the area for a game.

Really, it's a 3.5. service, was a meh. She was cranky, not willing to tell me what beer they had…read moreon tap, had to walk up and look myself. It's a dive bar, so I'm not expecting grade A, but have the list available to people. Odd there was a bouncer at the door. Like it's a restaurant. Must get rowdy?? I don't know. It was Saturday at 7pm when we were there, nothing out of the ordinary. Now, this is not our first time eating here. We are from out of town and probably make it to grand forks once a year maybe. The first time we had wings here, out of this world!! This time...soup master zero. Absolutely drowning in sauce. And they were 5000 degrees, so too hot to eat and handle. By the time we were able to eat them, soggy. The wings themselves also, in our humble opinion too big. The drummies where huge!! I dont like them that big, again just adds to the texture problem. We got traditional buffalo level 15. Flavor was excellent and heat was nice and hot, but not challenging. Also got the peanut butter. Fun!! And the jelly side dip was an excellent pairing. Wouldn't want more than 6, honestly 3 would be good as a fun little novelty. The deep fried okra was a hard pass. Bland, soggy, stupid. Don't bother.

Absolutely do not go here if you like good service. Both "waitresses" are incredibly rude,…read moredisrespectful and will ignore the entire table for most of the visit. I had a coffee that was empty and at edge of table since before the meal arrived and was never offered a refill and when I asked, it never came. We had sat on the bar side as someone in the group had wanted a Ceaser but we couldn't order this from the other side and I sure wish we could have been maybe the servers are better on the restaurant side. After having the drink made horribly twice, I'm not someone that drinks them but it smelled like a marinating steak it had some much Worcestershire sauce and can't imagine that's what it's supposed to be smell like, I really wished we had sat on other side as she then just had water but yet we were still expected to pay for these drinks. When asked if they could be taken off, we were told that since they remade it and made 2 drinks, they would need to charge us for it. So because they messed up twice, we had to pay for it. The worst part of the experience was then the other waitress decided it was appropriate to chime in from across the bar in front of everyone asking why we ordered so many not expecting to pay for them, while there was only 15-20 people in the restaurant, this is wildly unprofessional and made for a very terrible end to already unpleasant experience. I would have been happy to pay for the drink had it not taste like pure steak marinate. You would think as an obvious career waitress who will never be qualified to do much more would have some customer service skill but apparently she's not really qualified for this either

I found the condiments and a knife but could not find a fork. By the time I got silverware my meal was cold. Mind you I was sitting right at the bar, not off in a corner. I asked if I could receive a hot meal. Jen was not happy and on her way to the kitchen kicked the aluminum swinging doors. As I was talking to the customer next to me and telling them of the situation, she yells across the bar,"you have silverware NOW!" Not a relaxing atmosphere. The steak was way overcooked. I ordered it medium and it was delivered with zero pink in the middle. Very disappointing visit.
