|
|

Description:
BISMARCK. Perhaps better known as "Kroll's Kitchen," this casual restaurant is a local legend if ever there was one. Cozy and inviting, the downtown location stays busy, especially at lunch, when business folks clamor in for camaraderie and a bite of Russian- and German-influenced comfort food. Indeed, word has it that the knoephla (a delicious soup of dumplings, potatoes, chicken broth and cream) and fleischkuechle (spiced ground beef served on deep-fried dough) are nothing short of perfect, and it's not uncommon for the owners to field shipping requests to points all over the map. |

|
|
| |
Description:
BISMARCK. A bit "out of this world" at first glance, this sci-fi joint earns kudos for creative decor – as the quirky collection of alien statues no doubt attests. Of course, a restaurant is only as good as its menu, and this intergalactic oddity is no exception, featuring award-winning BBQ ribs, fire-roasted pizzas, quesadillas, and Cajun-style burgers. If adult beverages are in order, check out the Bar from Mars, where drinks like the Cosmic Bulldog, Mars Mudslide, and Lunar Island Tea are as potent as they are potable. |
