    Great place for a burger and beer. Music is a little loud. Wait staffers friendly and clean atmosphere.

    Blue Moose is a Grand Forks institution at this point and delivers great food in an amazing…read moreatmosphere consistently. 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.

    We were in town staying at a nearby hotel and needed dinner. We drove over and the place was…read moresurprisingly hopping for a Monday night. 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.

    The wife and I decided to go to JL beers in Grand Forks, North Dakota. It had a very long bar…read more The inside had about five long tables to seat people and had several TVs for a sports bar feel. I had the Ode to grapefruit American IPA it was smooth and delicious with a hint of grapefruit. We sat at a booth, but waited and waited for Service. 4 other folks came in and sat at the bar. They we're promptly served and actually had their food served to them before the server even came back to take our drink order. We then move to the bar where we were promptly served, drink orders with food. my wife and I split the Nashville chicken and a side of beer, cheese and fries. The Nashville chicken had a good taste however it was pretty thin the beer cheese fries were delicious. However they came out way after our chicken was served. I will give it a 5+ for the beer, A 3 for the food, zero for the Service if you're setting at a table and a three for the prompt, but not too friendly bar made.

    The food from JL Beers never disappoints. From the burgers to the fries - even when we order out…read moreand bring it home! The service is always amazing and the inside of the restaurant is welcoming! No kiddos allowed so if you're looking for a kid free night - JL Beers is your spot! But if you do have kids - just place a pick up order and grab it!

    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.

    Favorite little dive place, but 5 star dive. Best wings around, best pasta and food! Cheap cold…read moredrinks, great specials. 21 and older only. Service is always good and the atmosphere has a nice garage feels.

    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 simply wanted a drink, a hot meal and to relax. I got a drink…read more... My meal was delivered with no silverware or condiments. I went to fetch my own. 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.
