The newest diner on the block, Benedict's, has a unique twist to their breakfast food while also providing a bar experience with bloodies, cocktails, and wine with your breakfast or lunch.
We recommend: An eggs benedict, obviously.
3165 33rd St S, Fargo | (701) 532-4550
Deaner's Diner
Read any review of Deaner’s, and they’ll say the same: it's like a small-town diner in the heart of a big city, with great service and delicious 24-hour breakfasts.
We recommend: Della's Deluxe breakfast (available anytime), two pancakes, two slices of bacon, two sausage links, and two eggs cooked to order.
405 Main Ave W, West Fargo| (701) 356-2211
Kroll's
This 50s-style diner will take you back in time. Checkered floors and red-and-white leather booths, sit along the long counter and watch as the cooks prepare an omelet or skillet for you.
We recommend: Any breakfast you choose, but with a side of their Black Oak Kielbasa sausage and a stack of fluffy buttermilk pancakes.
1033, 45th St S, Fargo | (701) 492-2319
Marge's Diner
This new breakfast, lunch, and brunch-focused restaurant offers a kitschy but fun 70's meets Midwest atmosphere. Offering unique brunch options plus their popular soup and salad bar.
We recommend: THE pancake; seriously, it's a huge pancake.
220 Broadway N, Fargo | (701) 526-0149
Randy's
Randy's is a hidden gem among locals. Its leather booths and unlimited coffee refills will make you feel like you're in a nostalgic movie set. *sigh*
We recommend: The breakfast sandwich with the buttermilk croissant along with their signature cinnamon streusel coffee cake on the side.
2130 S University Dr, Fargo | (701) 280-0414
641 32nd Ave W, West Fargo | (701) 532-4000
The Shack on Broadway
This mom-and-pop diner is a local favorite... you'll see why as soon as you arrive. Its classic diner interior means cozy booths, friendly waitstaff, and the smell of home-cooked food in the air.
Pro tip: If you're in Fargo on the weekend, arrive early. The "after church" crowd starts arriving around 9 am, so you may have to wait for a table if you come much later than that.
We recommend: One of their massive omelets, a delicious stack of pancakes, and a huge caramel roll (if you can manage to fit it all in).
3215 Broadway N, Fargo | (701) 356-2211
Grab-and-go breakfasts
Sandy's Donuts
This donut shop started as a local favorite in West Fargo and has become the go-to place for donuts. It's the best place to start your day if you love donuts.
We recommend: The Maple Bacon Long John is always fun, or try a classic Bismarck donut or a good old-fashioned caramel roll.
Boppa's Bagels
These quick-grab bagel sandwiches give you lots of variety... seriously, you can choose from 31 bagel varieties and 17 cream cheese spreads.
We recommend: A classic egg, ham, and cheese sandwich on a delicious Asiago cheese bagel.
3051 25th St S, FArgo | (701) 241-7800
3251 Seter Parkway, Suite 117, Fargo | (701) 241-7800
