    My friend and I came here for dinner a few weeks ago. There was a wait since it was a Saturday night. We seated ourselves at the bar for some cocktails, and the service was great. The atmosphere is nice and spacious. I started with the rustic beef barley soup. Yum, it was delicious! I had to order an Irish meal of Bangers and Mash. It was quite interesting: mashed potatoes with sauages and gravy and a side of beans. It was pretty good. My friend ordered the Sheperd's pie and was content. We were celebrating a birthday so we had to order dessert. It was so good!! I would recommend this restaurant for Irish fare!

    Amazing restaurant, servers are top notch. Food selection and drink selection will keep you busy for many trips back. Huge food portions at a reasonable price. What more reasons do you need to go there?

    Not many vegetarian options but we had a good meal here. We each had an excellent vegetarian florentine sandwich - it was packed with flavor and even the bread was tasty and had a nice, soft airy consistency. The battered onion rings were not spectacular (I could tell they were not right out of the fryer) but they were very good. We also had two good dark beers - a porter and a stout. Service was a tad slow but the food was worth waiting for. Staff were friendly and professional. Note that I asked whether the price is reduced if you order the spinach pecan (entree) salad without the chicken - I was told they would lower it less than $2 (I don't remember the precise amount). So I skipped it. Really they should price the salads without meat and charge a fee for adding it.

    Great food and beer. I literally just returned from 2 weeks in Ireland and this place is SPOT-ON. There is one server that I really don't ever care to have again, but another stepped in/up and helped us have a great experience.

    Always good, and last night was no exception. My wife had a friend from Tucson visiting, so we brought her there. She likes to try different beers, but had never had a black and tan, so I talked her into that, which she said she enjoyed the flavor of. The waitress was attentive, but not too much so, so the conversation flowed nicely. My wife had the lox, her friend had a Cuban sandwich, and I picked something out almost randomly and got a sandwich called the smoked Sicilian, which seems odd for an Irish pub, but it was excellent. We sat outside on the patio, which is really nice, with only the North Dakota wind being an issue.

    Tonight was my first time at The Blarney Stone and it did not disappoint. Upon walking in you are transported to another place. The architecture and design are wonderful. Everything gives it that authentic pub look and feel. The bar itself looks great, with all the brick and wood. Not to mention the generous tap selection. The menu also has a lot to offer, although be sure to pack a magnifying glass because the font size was pretty small. But the menu had some great things to choose from along with some Irish classics. The prices are what you would expect from a pub, a little higher but not terribly outrageous. But the food itself spoke volumes. Delicious and full of flavor. Savory and well seasoned. A couple of the burgers that were ordered were undercooked, which was disappointing, but the restaurant made sure to remedy the issue. And they did discount the tab because of it, which was appreciated. One member of the party didn't even care that it was undercooked and just ate the whole thing because she thought it tasted that good. The one issue with evening was the service. We originally had two servers that didn't seem to have the best attitude or attentiveness, but I think that was due to them being cut and going home soon as they transferred our table to a different server who delivered better service. Not an excuse, but it's what I imagine the case to be. Other than that a great place, it was a little quite in the bar, but the patio was lively and looked like a fun, exciting atmosphere to be in. The bar didn't seem to follow any of the CDC guidelines for social distancing or anything else, but they might have been using one time use menus. But, as I mentioned, fun place, great food. Worth a stop in.

    The Blarney Stone Pub in West Fargo is absolutely wonderful. They have an Oktoberfest menu right now. So many choices on the menu. The food was amazing and wonderful service.

    I've had ice tea in many places. This ice tea was really good. It could be the water and the ice that makes the difference. Jesse the «excellent> server on Friday afternoon checked on the brand of the tea. I thought, maybe it's a special blend? Nope! Just regular restaurant grade ice tea. I expected great things at the Blarneyirishbub and the first thing we ordered was ice tea. Such a great start. Jesse has been patient with us today as we skim over the menu over and over. Our chowder, sandwich and salad are excellent as well. Thank you Jesse and staff! Courteous and professional service

    I recommend the mussels and the black and tan sirloin medium rare. We raise our own beef and have a buffalo processed every couple years and this was top 2 steaks I have had and #1 for eating out. Awesome job!!!

    Every time I go to Blarney Stone the back and sit at the bar and the bartenders are very nice and make great drinks and the food is amazing. But the one time I sat at the high tables at the bar a waitress gave us some a lot of attitude and was rude. Other than that wonderful experience.

  • 4/5 Jeff F. 1 year ago on Google
    Food was way above average. Service was ok, but not great. Good stop for high quality food, just lower your expectations on service.

  • 5/5 Dawn V. 10 months ago on Google
    This place was amazing! Started off blah but ended 100% better than I had expected! I have mad respect for the customer service of Blarney Stone. I have worked in customer service all my life and this place put a smile on my face. A simple mistake lead to me being pleasantly surprised.

    Best Irish food I've ever had Had 4 different entrees and I would eat every one of them again

  • 5/5 Taylor S. 6 months ago on Google
    Absolutely amazing staff, not to mention the great food. We called inquiring about a birthday party we were throwing and asked if we could add some small table decorations and bring in our own cake. Not only were they completely fine with that, but they were super accommodating as well. They put us up at a big table upstairs and let us do our thing. Can’t appreciate this enough!!

    Open at 11. Good crowd entering at that time. Most headed to the indoor outdoor patio bar. Our party went with appetizers to share. Could have gotten by with one less. We ordered four and there was enough sustenance for several more diners. All four aps were large portions. Wait staff was friendly and accommodating. Frequently checked up on us. Reasonable prices.

    Came here for my birthday yesterday. What a disappointment. My husband and I used to go to the one in Bismarck quite often. This location however was severely lacking. I ordered the Irish nachos (the fries were cold and dried out, the cheese on top was dried, almost like they had been under the warmer for way to long) the coleslaw was dry and just a major disappointment. My husbands cod was decent though fried to long as the batter was almost burnt. The Mac and cheese our friends ordered (two bowls for two people) the noodles were extremely dry. The burger my other friend and MIL ordered were the only things that didn’t get complaints. The fries that came with everyone’s orders had the same complaints as my nachos. Dry and cold and tasted like old oil. Unless I want a beer I don’t think I will ever be back to get food here again.

    Driving through North Dakota on a road trip, we found this awesome restaurant in Fargo. The service was very good: helpful, attentive, and friendly. I’m a huge fan of wings, so this is a big compliment…I don’t know how they make their buffalo sauce, but it was the best sauce I’ve ever tasted anywhere. I also got the grilled chicken breast (no bun) with chili on top. So good!

    Great place; the wait staff was very nice and a lot of fun chatting and joking with our party. Friendly and willing to change the TVs to multiple sporting events we liked to watch. Food was outstanding, with Oktoberfest specials and they had hot enough wings for one of the members of the party who really likes HOT wings.

    Best food, great service and staff. Clean restaurant and bathrooms. I can't say enough about this place. I highly recommend is your going through the area to have a meal here!!! I'm excited to go back.

  • 5/5 Tay S. 1 year ago on Google
    Been going here for years, and still one of our favorite hangouts. The atmosphere is always good, we've always had amazing waiters or waitresses, and the food is damn good. Their bread pudding is how bread pudding is supposed to be.

  • 4/5 Ron F. 1 year ago on Google
    Very nice atmosphere. The staff was excellent. The food was very good. The only negative thing was I ordered the steak stroganoff and it came in a very large bowl and the portion of food was less than half of that. Portion size versus the price paid did not seem right.

    We went for prime rib Tuesday. This “prime rib” had the appearance of pork and seemed almost fake.. or like cheap frozen meat for $30. I can’t quite explain it but me and my partner did not enjoy. After a few bites I didn’t eat anymore because it freaked me out. Not mad just disappointed because we were really looking forward to it! However, service was good and friendly! We sat at the bar. The mussels we got as an appetizer were fantastic! So we would definitely give this place another chance.

    This place is a gem. My first time and not my last. Food is delicious and authentic and reasonably priced. Beer selections are very good. The service is even better Ashley was my server. She walked us through the menu selections and beers and her advice was perfect. I recommend this as a must.

  • 5/5 Tiffany J. 2 years ago on Google
    The food and the atmosphere was delightful. The Irish stew was delicious, but if it's a Tuesday, do yourself a favor and order the prime rib which was the best prime rib I've ever stolen a bite of. My only regret is that we only ordered one bread pudding for the table... I could definitely have eaten one myself and only have lost a miniscule amount of respect for myself in the morning. Our server, Charlie, was exceptionally attentive and we lacked for nothing. He was charming and friendly and definitely added to our visit.

  • 5/5 Howie 1 year ago on Google
    One of my favorite places to eat! Food i have had has been consistently good, the staff is ok, a couple of superstars. This last time we enjoyed being outside, the food was again good. However our drinks went dry several times and we had to flag down people for our next round, for silverware, for napkins, for many things you would expect to have available without asking. Had we been given the chance to enjoy more beer we certainly would have taken the opportunity.

  • 3/5 China R. 2 years ago on Google
    Ordered our food to go. Overall, the taste was pretty decent. The corned beef was rather dry and the hamburger was cooked unevenly with portions of raw (not medium-rare like asked) meat inside what appeared to be a well cooked patty. The sides were pretty good but nothing like a home cooked meal at Grandma's. The good part? The entirety of the meal tasted clean and unprocessed. Did I think it was worth the cost? Not so much. 6/10

    Wish I had visited this place years ago! Haven't had great Irish food like this since I was a child in California. The bread roll was fresh. My shepherds pie bowl was delicious. 😋 My husband had steak with veggies and potatoes. Veggies have to be really extraordinarily good in order for him to like them. He loved the veggies here. And he said his steak was perfect. We sat in an alcove upstairs from the bar. It was quiet and romantic. I had an iced Irish coffee and it was really very good also. Highly recommend this place. If you haven't gone, you are missing out.

  • 5/5 Steffan A. 2 years ago on Google
    Super cool place overall, they did a nice job replicating the experience of the original. All of us were extremely happy with our food, and the atmosphere is super close to being excellent with just a few immersion breakers. There's an otherwise cozy fireplace room ruined by a row of huge gambling machines that paint the room in eye searing green light. I only noticed two booths, which I would like in a pub for ambience. I also would love per-table lamps at least for the particularly dim seating (northeast corner table) to help with the cozy pub atmosphere. I look forward to going back a lot this winter with friends!

    Wait staff was great! Barely in the door and they took my drink order and then gave me a menu. I have tried so many things on their menu and tonight I tried the salmon. It was phenomenal as always! The prices are very cheap! Can't say enough good things about this place.

  • 5/5 Todd J. 2 years ago on Google
    Met my two business partners here for our Christmas lunch. Great pub atmosphere. Clean. Great service. Good pub food. The beef and barley crock was especially nice on a very cold winter day. Great experience! I am sure I will visit again.

  • 5/5 Carter G. 2 years ago on Google
    By far the best stew I have ever had and it’s Guinness based for you beer junkies. They also brew their own whiskey and oh yeah, it’s good! Great establishment.

  • 5/5 Big Mike S. 2 years ago on Google
    The Shepherds Pie was amazing! The staff was amazing too. I explained that I didn’t have a lot of time and needed something that quick and easy since I’m a professional driver. They hit a home run! Thank you so very much!
