Fargo Toasted Frog & The Shack on Broadway

Way, way back in May we headed up to North Dakota for our nephew's graduation from high school. We didn't have to be in Grand Forks until Saturday, so we decided to stop in Fargo on Friday night to break up the driving a bit. We stayed at the Radisson Blu in downtown Fargo. It was newly remodeled and in a nice location right downtown, so we could walk to a variety of restaurants and bars. Too bad I totally forgot to take photos of the room. Off my game. 

We decided on the Toasted Frog for dinner. Reservations were not necessary, we were able to walk in and be seated right away. John had the steak frites. 

I had the walleye piccata with pan fried walleye, capers, shallots, garlic, lemon juice, and butter, with rice pilaf and veggie du jour. Excellent dish and the sauce was very flavorful. 

Saturday morning we decided to visit The Shack on Broadway for breakfast. We encountered a bit of a wait, but it went pretty quickly. 

The food was sold and worth the wait. It was also very affordably priced with large portions. 

very good pancakes

basic breakfasts for both of us

Graduation weekend was a success and we had a nice trip. These days, it is nice to go anywhere, even North Dakota! : ) 

Kroll's Diner - Fargo, ND

We went to Fargo, North Dakota, in June for a family wedding. On Sunday, before heading home, we had breakfast with John's sister and her family. We somewhat randomly selected Krill's, mostly as it was nearby and it seemed to have OK ratings on Yelp.

We were seated pretty quickly and the service was just fine. It has a cute 50's diner vibe going with lots of neon and chrome all around. The neon is probably why all of the pictures have a slight pink tinge to them.

Overall, the food was OK. Nothing about it wowed either on e of us, but it was not bad either. The hash browns were just OK,  my eggs were booked well, but the pancakes were a bit tough and rubbery, not light and fluffy. The hamburger steak was just a basic frozen patty. I suspect there are better options in Fargo, but we have not discovered them quite yet.
