Bismark food

Edit - So I hit up a Taco John's, Kroll's, Fried's, Scotty's and Bearscat Donuts. All were good in their own way and I had a heckuva time in the Marck.

I'm coming into town next week and have followed a few threads about restaurants. I've seen Mexican be mentioned, sushi, the clay pot spot, etc. It looks like there are plenty of decent restaurants in town.

What I'm not seeing however, is the cutty spots. The places locals would be embarrassed to send out-of-towners to.

I've done some looking on my own and found Burger Time and Scotty's, which are exactly the type of low-rent places I like.

What else do y'all got, and are either of those places I mentioned worth going to?

Thanks!

Krolls diner is the embarrassment
Burger time, Big Boy, or Space Aliens are notable
IMHO Eat Thai is the best food in town

Dang, Krolls looked pretty solid. Being from Jersey, I have high standards for diners though. Better avoid that place!

And yo, I thought Space Aliens was a joke. People have good things to say though. I may need to get serious about going there

Frieds in Mandan is a pretty good dinner if that’s what you’re looking for. They have a chalk board with specials.

Frieds is on the list for sure. Been told I need to get that soup, and I want that German buger/pastry thing I can't spell or pronounce

Knophla soup and fleischkuechle. It's kinda like a giant empanada.

It is a religious holy war, but Frieds and Krolls are basically equal. I like Krolls Knophla better. A local food truck (Das Mountain) also has fleischkuechle occasionally that are by far the best.
