Randy’s University Diner 2130 S University Dr, Fargo

1635 42nd St. S, Fargo
Basies has a couple things that separate it from the rest. Their quality of meat is top-notch and they also have a 1,000-degree broiler that will sear any meat to perfection. Make sure you check out their Sunday buffet and the live jazz that takes place every Thursday. basies.com • 701-281-7105
Lucy’s North China Cuisine 3003 32nd Ave. S, Fargo
It may be one of Fargo’s only Chinese restaurants without a buffet, but there’s good reason for that. Owner Lucy Penney serves up dozens of fresh dishes, most of which are her own family’s recipes. Dine-in, take out or get it delivered. You won’t be disappointed. lucyschinacuisine.com • 701-356-5100
Xtreme Pizza Kitchen 1404 33rd St. SW #D, Fargo
At Xtreme Pizza Kitchen, they’re not afraid to take a risk and it pays off. Some of their pizzas include a peanut butter pizza (yes, you read that right) and a Thai pizza. Don’t worry, they have an extensive list of menu items that are all delicious. xtremepizzakitchen.com • 701-298-0420
Marc’s Take My favorite pizza place anywhere, including California and Arizona. Some of the stuff on the menu sounds crazy (Thai pizza with peanuts?) but everything is ridiculously good.
Hooligan’s Bar and Grill 3330 Sheyenne St, West Fargo

Spicy Pie 322 Broadway, Fargo
It seems like just yesterday that Spicy Pie opened its Broadway doors and started serving us enormous pizza-by-the-slice. If you’re too hungry for just a slice, try their Spicy Challenge and see if you can take down an 18” supreme in 20 minutes. Hey, you can’t go wrong with a free T-shirt. Other location at 1414 12th Ave. N, Fargo spicypiepizza.com
The Shack on Broadway 3215 Broadway, Fargo
Forget Perkins and Denny’s; they’re just corporate impersonators of the Shack. It’s rumored this place has the best caramel rolls ever, but if you’re not into sweets, the all-day breakfast is worth the trip. A word to the wise: get their early on Saturday and Sunday mornings, or be prepared to wait a bit. shackonbroadway.com • 701-356-2211
