🥟 Local Fargo Meal Deals
Kroll's Diner
German-Russian Comfort Food
The most North Dakota meal in town. This cheerful 'yah, you betcha' diner is where locals get their German-Russian fix: fleischkuechle (a seasoned meat patty fried in pastry), knoephla soup (sold by the bucket), hotdish and a few flavors of kuchen for dessert. Cheap, filling and gloriously regional. Two eat for around $16.
The Shack on Broadway
Best Breakfast on Broadway
Ask around for breakfast downtown and you'll be sent here. The Shack does big, honest morning plates — eggs, hash, pancakes — at diner prices, and the regulars will tell you it's the best breakfast on Broadway. Two eat for around $16.
Rhombus Guys
Broadway Pizza & Hotdish Pizza
A Fargo favorite with a buzzy downtown location and rooftop patio. The pies are creative and generous — and only-in-North-Dakota, there's a tater-tot hotdish pizza (with jalapenos, unless you're a true Norwegian). Specialty pies now run $14 for the 8-inch and $23 for the 12-inch, so the two-for-$20 play is a small specialty or a plain custom pie split two ways.
The Boiler Room
Subterranean New American
Tucked below street level in the historic Loretta Building just off Broadway, this cozy New American bar is a local favorite for Scotch eggs, tater-tot hotdish, chicken pot pie and an award-winning knoephla. Now dinner-only (Tue–Sat from 4pm) and a bit cocktail-forward — share a couple of plates to keep two near $20.
Vinyl Taco
Tacos & Vinyl Records
Street tacos, big margaritas and a wall of vinyl records setting the soundtrack — note it's a 21-plus bar. The weekday 3–5pm special (two tacos plus chips and salsa for $10 a person) puts two people at an even $20; regular entrées run $11–15.
Blarney Stone Pub
Irish Pub with Knoephla
One of the area's best Irish pubs, and a sneaky-good spot for Midwestern comfort: alongside the Guinness and pub grub you'll find a proper bowl of knoephla soup. Cozy, friendly and easy on the wallet. Two eat for around $18.
JL Beers
Burgers & Craft Beer
A casual local chain born in the Dakotas, JL Beers keeps it simple: griddled smashburgers, crispy fries and a deep, rotating list of craft beers, all at prices that make feeding two easy. Two eat for around $14.
Jade Dragon
Chinese & Pho
A no-frills, no-advertising local Chinese spot that regulars guard closely — the pho and egg rolls get singled out again and again. Big portions, low prices and zero pretension. Two eat for around $16.
Cracked Pepper
Knoephla & Hotdish Cafe
A relaxed local cafe where the daily special is often some kind of hotdish — tater tot, chicken and rice, hamburger and potato — and the knoephla soup is award-winning. Comfort food, gently priced. Two eat for around $16.
💡 Pro tip: All deals are community-verified. We linked official menus only where we could confirm them, so most spots here are map-only. Order knoephla by the cup, try a fleischkuechle, and save room for kuchen. The bier hall and Boiler Room plates are best split two ways. Hours and prices change, so check before a special trip. If something's expired, flag it on our main directory so we can update it.

Two $5 Snackers — $10.75 · Born in Jacksonville 1994
Jacksonville's biggest food export reaches here too: founded in 1994 by two firefighter brothers, now 1,200+ stores — with one store in town at 5675 26th Ave. S. The $5 Firehouse Snackers (BLT, Cordon Bleu, Sweet & Spicy Ham, Turkey Jalapeño half-subs) feed two for $10.75 all-in, and two small 4-inch Hook & Ladders run $12.78. The 8-inch mediums most people order run $10-plus — the only medium pair that stays near the line is the build-your-own ham or turkey.

Buffalo Wild Wings
Pick 6 — Meal for Two from $19.99
