A Taste of the Town: 4 Grand Forks Restaurants to Try for Your Next Night Out

Grand Forks has a lot of restaurants in town to eat at. Every restaurant has different menus and different choices to choose from. Some people want fish tacos. Some people want ribs. Some people want a burger. These are my top 5 favorite restaurants in Grand Forks.

Darcy's Cafe in Grand Forks.

Grand Forks Restaurants: Darcy’s

Darcy’s has really amazing food. You can have breakfast for lunch. They have T-shirts to buy and a good atmosphere in a small restaurant. My favorite thing to order at Darcy’s is blueberry pancakes. They are bigger than our stomachs! The owner, cooks, and wait staff are excellent. Darcy’s is the best-kept secret restaurant that people can all enjoy.

Their food is ready to eat in a snap. Charras and Tequila has hearty, authentic Mexican food. There are mariachi statues out front to take pictures with.

Grand Forks' Ground Round.

Ground Round has excellent food. They have all kinds of options to choose from. They have burgers,

Tex-Mex food, salads, seafood, appetizers, pasta, sandwiches, and more. They have free popcorn as an appetizer before you even order. They have a good atmosphere with TVs to watch the game. It’s easy to get to before going shopping. Some of the wait staff remember me and what I like to order and they help make it the way I like.

Grand Forks Restaurants: Texas Roadhouse

Texas Roadhouse really has a lot of food to eat. You can have steak, mashed potatoes and gravy, you get free buns as an appetizer while you wait for your order. They have TVs to watch the game. The wait staff does line dances. If you go on your birthday, you get to sit on a saddle and they yell “Yeehaw!”. Their pulled pork, ribs, salads and steaks are very good.

Grand Forks has tons of restaurants to choose from. My favorites are the ones who remember who I am and where I make connections with people who go there. My favorite thing to do is go out to eat at every meal but my parents like to eat at home which I think is boring. There are a lot more restaurants I could name but the list would be too long!
