Open to the public and there is honestly something for everyone here!! They have a made-to-order mongolian grill, stone fire pizza, pasta, deli, a grill that does burgers and chicken breasts, as well as made to order veggie and bean burgers, homemade soups, and a HUGE RAINBOW of a salad bar! If you have a food allergen, they have an allergen station with foods that don’t contain the 8 major allergens: eggs, milk, gluten, fish, shellfish, peanuts, tree nuts and soy! They even have a North Dakota Homestyle station AND a Caribou Coffee in the restaurant. For an $8.00 lunch and $12 dinner, you can’t beat this!! And is a good excuse to get on top of the Umary hill, walk down the hall and see the beautiful view up here!

As a student at UMary I consider myself very fortunate to have had 24/7 access to the Crow’s Nest. Now as an employee I still enjoy heading over to have lunch pretty much every day. The wide variety makes it a worthwhile stop for anyone maybe looking for something different than the normal stops in Bismarck.

A great choice in Bismarck for an all you can eat option. A huge salad bar, soups, deli bar, caribou coffee, pizza, pasta made to order, stir fry, daily hot entrees and a grill with burgers and dogs. Plus the folks are friendly and the place is clean. Great value.

The nest is an incredible environment for food/fun/study all in one! The food is great, the amenities are more than enough for whatever you need and the staff are dedicated, friendly, and efficient! Wish I would have gone to school here!

The Crow’s Nest offered a ton of variety for food: I could grab something pre-prepared or order something made for me. There was an allergens station for those with any food allergies, and a full service caribou included with the door rate! The Bison meatloaf was outstanding. The Nest offered a bunch of different seating options for my group, allowing us to choose a space appropriate to our conversation. Great place! Those students at the University of Mary are lucky!

I love the Crow’s Nest! There’s something new to eat every day, but also staples like pizza, burgers, and the deli. Best salad bar in Bismarck, and I love mixing and matching from the different food stations to make a nutritious meal! I love that you can get a Caribou coffee drink with your meal- my go to is the iced caramel latte. Open 24/7 during the school year!

There is a decent variety of options, and if you’re creative, you will have a good meal every time you come. I like that we fill out surveys often and they adjust based on survey responses. The food is decent and the workers are very pleasant. The stir fry station is great and so is the pasta station.

This Cafeteria is beautiful and I am happy that it was built here on this campus to help connect the students and the visitors together. I have many memories and shared chats and hang time with ny friends and people I consider family. With the game section at the back and the newly added downstairs section, what place can beat this. It isn’t just about food in this cafeteria it is about making friends. I kinda wish the meal plans were way cheaper though

You might think it’s just a college cafeteria, but the Crow’s nest is not your average college food trough. It is more of a upscale full-service buffet. You can get the usual pizza and pasta, but there is a whole lot more. Anyone can come and eat here, not just students!
