I give it two stars because the customer service wasn’t very great. Customer service is what makes the eating out experience good. The food took way too long to come and the waitress was rude. And on top of that the food wasn’t truly amazing either.

Horrible food. Do not order the stuffed mushrooms. Used to be good. Now not so much

Greasy. The mushroom appetizer… Rice and cheese with grease on top of mushrooms. The sandwich…, the contents meat, mushrooms, grease and all were poured onto the bread. Making it gooey grease mess. Didn’t ask for a to go box, just greasy. Nice waitress.

All I basically want in any meal I order is that the quality of food be comparitive to the price. At the least. The quality can always exceed the price but vice versa is unacceptable. This place is so over priced for the quality of food they serve. I normally always have a picture but I had to send my food back because my steak was over cooked, and the burger I got instead was not worth a pic. Service however was very nice.

Came here on Valentine’s Day at mid afternoon for impromptu happy hour drinks and a couple appetizers, without knowing that it was half off appetizers(nice surprise). We sat at the bar. The bartender was friendly and took our drink order right away. It wasn’t very busy at all, especially for Valentine’s Day… For apps we ordered the blackened — 1lb wings and the potato skins/wedges. The blackened wings had awesome flavor, but sadly the wings were tiny. We could have gotten the larger order of wings because of how small they were. The potato wedges were good but lacked green onions and sour cream. All in all a good, pleasant experience.(I’ve heard that the rotisserie chicken is great!)

Two stars is me being generous. Spent 20 dollars on what would be the driest and chewiest steak I have ever had. My gf’s fish and veggies seems to me be more dog food and mush. Atmosphere is good but seems to be one of those D class establishments in minot which is saying something.

The restaurant’s menu and atmosphere are decent. What it lacks is properly trained staff in every position. The waitress was overwhelmed, the cook didn’t know what they were doing and the shift manager was clueless. It took forever to be served. The food was terrible and the staff treated us like we were an inconvenience. I will not be returning to this place.

I’ve been meaning to leave a review of this place because it was the worst restaurant visit I’ve ever had. I went to this place back in November for a friend’s birthday. There was about 8 of us. It all started when the waiter forgot my drink. Not a huge deal. A little later everyone gets their appetizers. I don’t get mine. I ask and shortly after I get it. Again, not a huge deal. Once our main meals start coming out is when the problems start coming. First of all it took an extremely long time for them to get out and they weren’t exceptionally busy by any means. As each person is getting their food, they all start noticing things wrong. Things that were asked to not be added were there(onions, etc). Things that were supposed to be there weren’t. Meat wasn’t cooked the way it was supposed to be. Here’s the worst part. I didn’t even get any food. Somewhere between the waiter and cook, my food wasn’t even made! I tell the waiter and he apologizes. They eventually get me my steak in a to-go box because I have to go. Well shortly after I decide to try it. It was absolutely disgusting. Tasted burnt, no flavor. Overall out of all 8 of us, none of us had ever had such a horrible experience at a restaurant. One of the waiters even yelled at my friends wife. So inappropriate. I would rate this place 0 stars if I could. And I always steer my friends away from this place.

This place isn’t too bad. I’ve been here once and the chicken is delicious! It was a dark cozy atmosphere so it wasn’t too bad. It’s located in the mall so it’s an easy stop if you’re hungry after walking around. The service was good so I wasn’t disappointed. Overall I liked it and would go again if I’m craving

Could it be more obvious? Sitting in bar, waited 30 minutes to be served on Dec 26, as we sat read review card from Dec 21 on table! Seriously just scream you don’t care! Never again!

There is good food here. I’ve had the pasta, ribs and burgers. All of these were great. The thing that drops them is their God awful deserts. Slap a dried out chips a hoy cookie and cover it with the cheapest ice cream you can find doesn’t work for desert. Their other deserts are horrid as well. Get the food and eat it. Then walk the mall and get ice cream else where. Boom!(Drops Mike and walks the mall to get ice cream from cold stone)

2.5 stars. Here is why! 3 visits within 3 years. 1st time tried the walleye. It lacked in flavor and I said I would probably not come here again. 2nd visit was just appetizers. We has the Grazing platter with Texas Eggrolls, Wings, Onion Rings, Cheese Curds, and Quesadillas. It was ok. Nothing to rave or crave again. 3rd visit was with a group of 6 folks. For apps we had the Texas Egg Rolls and the Artichoke dip. To my surprise the Egg rolls were very good! Artichoke dip was blah. I decided to stick with what they are famous for here which is the Wood Fired Chicken. Yep! Stick to it! It’s good stuff… Tender, juicy, and flavorful. I guess 3rd time is a charm as some may say! The location is located inside the mall and its convenient to walk to through the mall if staying at the Sleep Inn. Plus, staying warm not having to brace the frigid temps. Or if you do have to drive parking in the mall parking lot is pretty easy as well!

Recently visited again, food was great, service was brutal. Long wait time, server had numerous mistakes at many tables, food was dropped on floor several separate times increasing wait time. Watched as one customer tried to resolve a legitimate grievance with server and she laughed in his face, when a manager was brought over to calm the situation it was only made worse by cheap attempts to discount the bill or give out one free dessert. This once much loved restaurant has gone in the wrong direction.

Three stars is a stretch. My first experience here back in the winter was a good one. My date and I had the roasted half-chicken and the grilled salmon, respectively. Both were well done, service was attentive, and overall a positive experience. HOWEVER, that being said, my experience here tonight with my brother was anything but desirable. The food took 45 minutes(with the restaurant less than 1⁄3 full), the waiter didn’t seem to have the time of day for us, and when the food did arrive, my brother got the WRONG meal. You can certainly take your chances here… You might get lucky and you might strike out.

The service started it and the bad food finished them off. Despite the restaurant having only approx 5 other people, it took 20 mins to get our guacamole app. Nobody liked their food. The pastas were bland and the brisket was dried out and poorly cooked. Our waitress never checked on us and only when we were paying was she attentive.

I was standing in the shopping mall, wondering where the luscious smoky aroma was coming from. I discovered Grizzly’s just around the corner near the mall entrance and the rolling chickens on the spit had me hooked. Based on another review, I tried the Blue Cheese topped Sirloin. It was my aerobic workout for the jaws, even though it was cooked properly. The blue cheese topping could have used a few seconds under the salamander grill to crust it up. The sides I ordered included Cheesy Hash Browns, which were quite good, but the late to arrive cup of Chili was all heat and no flavour. Overall, the food is hit or miss, if you are a regular in the area, find your winners and stick with them. If you are travelling through, there is an Olive Garden at the other end of the mall.

It’s hard to believe this place is a chain(albeit a small one with only a few locations). I’ve come to expect only average food from chain styles like this(applebees or tgi fridays come to mind) But unlike other places like applebees all the food at Grizzly’s seems to be fresh and not frozen. You can watch the chickens roasting in the open pit fire at the front door. If you try nothing else, try the steaks. But personally I’ve eaten my way through the entire menu and been satisfied with everything on it. My girlfriend cant get enough of the bear creek pasta and the diablo trio pasta dishes. My personal favorites(aside from the steaks) are the wings and the roasted chicken(these are great to take home). Even the signature salads are good(cant eat steak every day…) There’s also different early bird specials and a cheaper lunch menu. Oh and they have some of the best cheesecake I’ve ever tried, and I don’t say that lightly, I’ve had it all over the country and most of it tastes like paste to me. Skip the toppings(they use store bought syrups) and just order it plain(they make the cheesecake fresh on site). The only time I didnt like it was when I tried it with the chocolate sauce(not sure who’s idea it was to ruin an amazing cheesecake with a bad sauce; but the problem is solved by ordering it plain) We’ve made this a regular stop several times a month now since moving to Minot.

Went for lunch. Service was slow had to ask to have my drink refilled, twice. Staff just seemed to stand around. Really weird music selection. Great atmosphere old woods cabin style, which is kind of cool From the prices it’s seems like an upscale restaurant but it didn’t live up to it. Sorry can’t recommend

Well… the first time we went everything was SO good. Since then it’s been one awful plate after the next. What a shame! Old and brown lettuce in the salads, only getting 5 cheese curds in an order instead of the usual 10, smaller steaks, under cooked baked potatoes and super dry brisket. What a shame! After 4 or 5 consistently bad meals for $ 60 – 70 dollars, we won’t be back. I posted some pics of the dry brisket and small, really bad prime rib. Check them out.
