Mom's Diner - Fargo

This was our favorite diner from our time in Fargo, and it was definitely worth the detour on our road trip. Their hot beef sandwich was delicious and generously covered, as shown in the attached photo. Overall, it's one of the best diners I've ever visited.

Unfortunate Experience. We've been patrons of Mom's for many years and have always enjoyed the service and food. We initially rated it a 5 based on our previous experiences, and I didn't want one disappointing visit to overshadow all the good ones. Despite the restaurant being less than a third full, we waited over an hour for our food, and much of it arrived lukewarm. The waitstaff was excellent, though.

This diner offers an authentic old-school experience. The decor is a charming mix from various decades of the 20th century. The service is excellent, and for those who find it tough to disconnect from technology, there are several large screens playing sports. The food is enjoyable, but the real highlight for me is the nostalgia it evokes. It brings back memories of the restaurants my parents used to take me to.

Okay for a diner. Nothing special to note about it. It's service was good as the waitress was friendly and kind. Even helped with my broken card. The food was average for a diner. Having one of the omelets was okay but it tasted a bit... dry on its own. The bacon was good but didn't taste freshly fried. Toast is toast. Nothing special. And my hash browns were slightly burnt on one side and under cooked on the other. Hashbrowns should be crispy. and soft. Not Crispy and chewy halfway through. Otherwise a bit expensive. But okay nonetheless.

Very sad to see this place go downhill. Was a family favorite for many years. TV was not on, decorations changed, untrained inexperienced wait staff roaming about making the environment feel anxious. We miss the old Mom's kitchen! Train your staff! Bring back the salad bar add-on! It's the reason the restaurant was such a draw! The food was good but extremely salty, aside from the salad bar which had some not-so-fresh lettuce in it. I think the new owners expect the place to run itself. The old owner worked incredibly hard.Those poor waiters and waitresses are in there trying to run a whole restaurant!
