Ten eateries dishing up FORKSful of flavor
For those who love dining out, Greater Grand Forks offers an abundance of palate-pleasing ways to help you get your fix! Throughout our two towns, there are numerous eateries serving up delicious dishes and desserts and while hard to narrow it down, here are my top ten spots.
THE TOASTED FROG
With its cool metropolitan vibe, extensive martini and wine lists, diverse food and professional staff, The Toasted Frog has become a popular Downtown destination for 21+ locals and visitors alike. Of course, everyone knows about their award-winning fried cheesy pickles but the inventive chefs here are also creating amazing entrees. Favorites include the Jamaican Jerk Chicken Wood-Fired Pizza, Mahi-Mahi Tacos, Thai Chili Pork Tenderloin and a game-changing Elk Burger adorned with fresh arugula, tomato and carmelized onion aioli. When it comes to dessert, there always room for S’mores…with an Espresso Martini chaser.
HARRY'S STEAKHOUSE
Appealing ambiance and fine bovine intertwine at Harry's Steakhouse. Voted one of Open Table's most romantic restaurants in the nation, this Downtown Forks mainstay is already legendary for its stellar service, delectable dishes and creative cocktails. In addition to a prime selection of five-star steak options, top-grade chefs here also prepare an array of succulent seafood, superb side dishes, amazing appetizers, decadent desserts and cool cocktails. Harry’s also serves up the best calamari to be found this side of the Mediterranean. My entrees of choice are the Roasted Garlic & Herb Butter Center-Cut Filet, Chicken Marsala and Brushetta Scallop Pasta. Must-order sides include the Creamed Corn Pancetta, Truffle Mac & Cheese, Balsamic Brussels Sprouts and famous Harry’s Style Hash Browns topped with applewood smoked bacon, bleu cheese crumbles and caramelized onions.
DARCY'S CAFE
Open for breakfast and lunch, this quaint downhome diner dishes up plates filled with hearty homestyle goodness just like grandma used to make. In fact, their cinnamon roll and seasonal pumpkin pancakes helped garner Darcy’s the Best Pancake House in North Dakota Award! Along with flapjacks you’ll flip over, cooks here also know how to sling some tasty savory hash including stuffed omelets, knoephla soup, hot beef sandwiches, sloppy Joes and turkey with all the trimmings.
RHOMBUS GUYS
Dreaming about pizza with pizzazz? Rhombus Guys can make all your foodie fantasies come true! This funky three-level eatery, with seasonal rooftop seating overlooking Downtown, specializes in gourmet pies dubbed Best Pizza in the State by Business Insider. Toppins range from the usual suspects (pepperoni, sausage and peppers) to the more avant-garde (pork loin, shrimp and pickles).
SKIES 322
An evening at Skies 322 comes complete with a second story view of Downtown and exquisite cuisine like house-made Crab Cakes, Braised Pork Shank, Prime New York Strip, Seared Scallops and New Zealand King Salmon lightly glazed with their zesty-meets-sweet Prairie Sauce. Sunday Brunch, served from 11 AM to 2 PM, features everything from Brioche French Toast to Wagyu Chicken Fried Steak.
