The service was great. Very helpful. The food was okay. We ordered the mushrooms, large order of traditional wings, fries and fried pickes. We paid $70 and felt that the portions were pretty small considering the cost. Overall, I’ll probably go back to try something different, but it won’t be something we crave.

Very accommodating! We had a group of almost 30 and we were offered a breakfast buffet. Service was excellent as was the food. Great place for a large group, call ahead and they will take care of you.

You can never go wrong by stopping in at the Mainline. Small Town bar with small town service. That being said, the staff is incredibly friendly. You’ll feel like a regular on your first visit. Bobbie will take great care of you. My family and I frequent this place and for good reason. The only thing that can outshine the service is the food. Always hot, always delicious, and always what the doctor ordered. “The MacGyver” is a beast that demands to be devoured. It’s huge, weighing in at 10oz and slathered in a delicious sauce. Not sure what it is, but it really makes the burger. It’s served up on grilled Texas toast and glued together with ooey gooey cheese. Paired up with a side of their signature fries, it’s an unstoppable duo. Only thing missing is an ice cold beer to compliment your feast! The town is Downer, but this place isn’t! It’s literally your one-stoo shop. Complete with large event center and gift-store. Always good music, good food, and good memories. Do yourself a favor and make this your next supper destination!

I have been here several times and usually get the same thing the food is good although the burger is greasing then I would like. The fries are excellent. I just found out they serve breakfast so we will have to check that out sometime.

Didn’t want the hassle of busy Fargo so I pulled up google maps and found this place instead. Was NOT disappointed. From the extremely friendly bartenders to the AMAZING chefs in the back, this is the place you NEED to try! We did the Deluxe Santa Fe pizza and for two people, we left so beyond full.

Bounded above my expectations, fantastic French dip. Pretty great beer selection. Top notch service and attention. Would beer again.

We were here with a large group for a geocaching camping weekend. We did pizza. They handled the crowd well and all tasted good. Even enjoyed se ice cream for the road.
