Reviewed By Kevin K - Bismarck, North Dakota
This restaurant looks really nice inside with nice decor. A lot bigger than what it looks like on the outside. The service was great and so was the food. I had the carne asada and my wife had the fajitas. They where both great and had awesome seasoning on them! We both had margaritas and they where very good and you could actually taste the tequila not like most where they put two drops in, these where the real deal. Would definitely recommend this place to anybody who likes the more authentic style Mexican food!

The cookies are awesome. My favorite is the lemon cookies. The taste is great. They serve a variety of cookies and provide sandwiches and soup. I recommend you to taste and see for yourself.
3. Classic Rock Coffee
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 16 reviews
At Classic Rock Coffee Company we take great pride in sourcing great tasting coffees. Lots of companies roast coffee beans, but we rock the roaster. Our beans are literally infused with classic rock music during the roasting process.
Reviewed By Paul O - Minot, North Dakota
Classic Rock Coffee was recommended by some coworkers so we decided to try it out. It is a fun place with classic style rock music (some old and some newer) played in the background. The decorations are in theme with electric guitars hanging from the walls and a wall of souvenirs available.
The food is healthy "politically correct" but still well done and excellent tasting. The Vanilla Mocha we had was great. Both the salmon sandwich and the strawberry salad we ordered were excellent choices. We loved it and are certain to go there again.

Great service and tasty food! Lots of fried food, but that fried food is delicious We loved the fried dill pickle spears and the cream cheese jalapeño stuffed shrimp. Their homemade ranch is very good and we loved the Beneez sauce. Our waitress was very helpful in recommending things to try since it was our first time. The only downside was that the tables were small and close together so it was hard not to bump into people at other tables.
5. The Starving Rooster
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 197 reviews
At The Starving Rooster we believe in quality ingredients, being true to who you are, standing by what you believe in and having respect for all people. Our restaurant, originally built in 1919 for the Altman and Taylor Tractor Company was built on quality and a pride for the things you make. The "starving rooster" logo was used by the company as their brand "moniker." As legend has it, the Altman Taylor Company made a threshing machine that was of the highest quality and didn't leave a speck of grain behind. As a result, the roosters had nothing to eat. Well, we will make sure you don't go hungry, but we do like the idea of taking pride in what we do and make. As a part of that philosophy, we also have great respect for the historical nature of the building and have repurposed nearly all of the materials that were taken out of the original structure and have used them to build tables, booths and other design elements seen throughout the restaurant. We also have a great respect for our farming culture and are very proud to say that our fathers/mothers or grandfathers/grandmothers spent most of their lives making a living off our great North Dakota land. It is out of respect for all of these things that we give you "The Starving Rooster," a place as local as the land itself. We hope you enjoy hanging out with "The Starving Rooster!"

Wasn't sure what to expect! Was pleasantly surprised. Large selection of craft beer and oven fired pizza which was fantastic. Décor is good, but the gem of this place was the waitress who was amazing. Shaelane R was sooooo great. Was professional, funny, great conversations and was always smiling. That coupled with her service skills made this place something special. We will be back next time in Minot

I had the spaghetti and meatballs. Pretty good although you can tell the meatballs are frozen. Still good though. My girlfriend had the chicken Alfredo flatbread and she loved it. Best part overall was the great service. Very fast and friendly. Will come back next time we come to Minot.

I have not looked forward to eating at this restaurant. The food was bland, the steak had a strange texture- kind of like potted meat. This last visit, the food blew my mind, anazing!!!!! The service, impeccable!!!!

Was our favorite place. Loved the beef tips and the drinks weren't bad. Bartender didn't ace the old fashioned and copped an attitude at the bar with honest feedback, but still a good experience. Sorry they closed?
