We tried the Classic, Bloody Pickle Rickle, Golden Pickle, Pink Fluffy Unicorn, and several other unique flavors -- each one was interesting and delicious in its own way. The service was outstanding -- friendly, attentive, and impressively efficient even with our large group of 11 people. We also ordered a couple of pizzas, and they disappeared almost immediately because they were that good! One of the best surprises was the back area with old-school pinball machines and a claw machine, which was a huge hit with the kids in our group. We even got lucky and won a few prizes! The whole atmosphere was fun, welcoming, and full of energy. It's easy to see why Half Brothers is such a beloved local hangout spot!

Here I am close to the Canadien border and there is one legitimate brewery close to town. Beer was good and food a bit underwhelming. Had the WC and Hazy IPAs. Both were good with the Hazy outshining the WC. They have a pickle beer which a lot of the locals kept ordering. I didn't try it but it's probably worth a sample. Really only pizza for sustainable food with a for appetizers to go with it. Special for the day was a slice, which was generous, and a beer for $10. The pizza was ok, crust a little doughy for my liking, need to make a decision if it's NY or not. Great stop when in ND, especially if you like craft beer. They had some guest taps as well as their own. If looking for food ok choice, but probably better in town.

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.

The Bacon Cheeseburger was solid--thick-cut bacon, juicy patty, exactly what you want when you're craving a classic. The sweet potato fries were on point, and the queso fries were dangerously good. One of our favorites of the night was the Firecracker Shrimp--mildly spicy, super flavorful, and honestly way better than we expected from bar food. The whole place has a chill, fun atmosphere, the kind of bar you settle into without even trying. The table next to us ordered wings and they looked incredible... so yes, we're already planning our return trip just for those. Shoutout to Jacob, who closed us out and made sure everything was exactly to our liking. Great service on top of great food = winning combo. Can't wait to go back!

We got a booth inside since it was too hot to dine on their veranda. Our waitress was prompt with our orders and my huckleberry mule came out in a reasonable amount of time. The drink itself was OK. It's fruitiness was a bit odd but at $8 it was a good deal. I ordered the boneless wings with the sweet chili sauce. They were quite good. My wife took advantage of their Monday night $5 off all burgers special and got their specialty burger with bacon, peanut butter and a fried egg on it. Sound gross but she liked it though it was a bit overdone at pink since they wouldn't do medium rare. Prices were reasonable though they have a credit card surcharge. The big complaint was how long we had to wait for our food to arrive even though by the time we ordered the crowds had dissipated. It was a looooong time.
