Impromptu stop on our way home from the Fargo airshow. Searched online and this sounded perfect and it was. Good was VERY good and our server was great.

Brick & Barley is always a great stop for after work happy hour. They have great happy hour special as well as nightly specials. Menu has a nice variety on it and their drinks are always great. They make the best Bulldogs in town so definitely order one of those! Also, their fries are absolutely amazing, order yourself a basket no matter what with a side of their house made dill ranch!!

Walked by the restaurant and never stopped until today. Wanted something different and was surprised lunch wasn't being served at noon, but breakfast was. Our server said they had a great breakfast and he was right. The breakfast poutine was tasty and the fries remained crisp. The chicken & Waffles was a surprise. The waffles were crunch on the outside and tender inside. They held up to the syrup very nicely. The chicken tender were made from a chicken breast, lightly seasoned and juicy. Our breakfast was a hit. We'll be back to try lunch, the truffle parmesean fries are calling our name. UPDATE July 7th, finally got a chance to have lunch and try the truffle fries. YES, they are that good, these fries are the benchmark for what fry should be. Crunchy, good truffle flavor and a good parmesan cheese, everything in perfect balance. The burgers were fantastic, to me the best in town. The garlic aioli cheeseburger with arugula was perfectly done and flavorable. The maple bacon sriracha burger was my personal favorite, not over powering and the bacon was crisp and packed with flavor. It's a must try stop! OCT 20th, just can't get enough of the pamesean truffle fries. You won't eat plain old fries again. The queso burger was fantastic. Very flavorable and the queso was well balanced. The poutine was outstanding and had great taste. I like going in Sunday mornings and you can pick either breakfast or lunch. UPDATE: Mar 2nd, another great meal. The huevos ranchero was flavor packed and a good surprise and the corned beef hash is one of best in town. What can I say about the truffles fries, they are addictive. MAY 4TH, the breakfast tacos are awesome. Flavor packed and yummy. I enjoyed the crunch on the tortilla, just right. Again, if you haven't tried the truffle fries, you dont know what you are missing.

One of the better bars to go to in Downtown Grand Forks. Most of their food is made freshly made, not frozen. Our favorites are the Mac N Cheese Bites, & the Crab Cakes. Their Black Truffle & Parmesan fries are wonderful as well! Staff is friendly & easy to flag down if needed. Update 3/13/2024: It's become a regular place for us to visit. Staff is always friendly & the food has never missed the mark. We've gotten the Honey Garlic Chicken on a previous visit & the Honey Garlic Salmon on our most recent visit (we had them sub in the cilantro rice & add avocado). Both are phenomenal & makes me want to try everything on the menu.

Wasn't our first choice of restaurant but despite the business of downtown they had plenty of space still. Food was incredible and reasonably priced, all things considered. Servers were friendly and attentive without being *too* attentive. The only reason I didn't give the atmosphere 5 stars is because the TouchTunes jukebox was too quiet, so the music/ambiance was barely audible. Otherwise a great experience and I plan to be a more frequent visitor.

Ordered the NYE take-out adult happy meals with prime rib. The food was absolutely incredible! The cookies are one-of-a-kind incredibly good! Had a bit of a snag with pick-up timing and missing items, but when I reached out about the problem they came thru immediately with an above and beyond level of customer service. We can't wait to visit in person again in 2021 when things with the pandemic have settled down again somewhat. Can't go wrong with somewhere so dedicated to a positive customer experience!

My goodness order that steak (if you like gorgonzolla) it's phenomenal! Music was a good volume, lighting was good. Open concept feels inviting. Plenty of drink options, I had the "Fuzzy Pink Unicorns Dancing on Rainbows ", which is a sour and quite nice. Truffle fries were a good start to the meal.

We were looking to watch the hockey game and they quickly made it happen. The server was great, the men were sampling beers and she was patient with us. The kitchen made a mistake on my special order and it took way longer than they expected but I was impressed when the check came they didn't charge us for it. Really appreciated them going above and beyond.
