220 Broadway N, Fargo | (701) 526-0149
Randy's

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

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
