Marino's Deli ?

The last time I was there was a few years ago (I no longer live in the area) and I remember they had a killer chicken parmesan sandwich!

Crookston, MN recs?

So sorry to hear about the bad Happy Joe's experience in Crookston! That cheeseburger pizza does sound totally gross!

I didn't know you were going to be in Grand Forks - I lived there for a year a while back and could have sent you some recommendations.

And yes, the Lutheran Churches on Main...I happen to be a member one of them!

Crookston, MN recs?

Crookston, eh? I grew up there, and let me tell you, there really isn't a lot to eat in town.

I recommend :

Happy Joe's (705 E Robert St) has really good pizza. I also believe they have a lunch buffet, but don't quote me on that. http://www.happyjoes.com/index.php

China Moon (114 S Broadway) for their lunch and dinner buffet. Next door is Widman's Candy Shop. I recommend picking up a bag of chippers - chocolate covered potato chips.

The Ness Cafe in Erskine (526 Vance Ave S, Erskine, MN. Tel: 218-687-2101) is very charming. They serve homemade diner food at great prices. It takes about 20 minutes to get to Erskine, but it's worth the drive. (Photo here : http://www.lakesnwoods.com/images/Erskin94.jpg)

The restaurant inside the Northland Inn (2200 University Ave) has always been good. It's probably the "classiest" restaurant in town. http://www.northlandprairieinn.com/crookston/restaurant.shtml

Whatever you do, stay away from RBJ's (1601 University Avenue). The parking lot is always full (usually a sign of a good restaurant) but the food is so horrible. I once found a piece of fish floating in my water glass. Yeah, gross.

Anyway, good luck and if you have any more questions, please ask!

Riverview Wine Bar Walt Special MSP

I am oddly intrigued about what "The Walt Special" is. The menu states "If you don't know, don't order it"...could someone help me out on this?

Thanks in advance.

I like Famous Dave's and so does my husband. I say you should try it!

first sonic in minnesota, what the..?

I went to the St. Paul Sonic two weeks ago with my husband and we were very disappointed. My husband ordered a burger (which was unseasoned), french fries (that tasted like air AND were cold) and cheesecake bites. The cheesecake bites were good, but I wouldn't go back for just those.

I ordered a grilled chicken sandwich, which also had zero flavor. I was starving and I couldn't finish it. It was gross.

I don't know if we went on a bad day, but I don't think I'll go back when Wendy's is so much better!
