Should Jamestown be accepted into the NSIC?

Boss's makes a sold pie in my experience - though I have heard there can be a lot of variation from place to place. The one in Brookings didn't last very long.

Kind of appreciate how late they're open - lot of places close up before I'm done with whatever I'm doing. The original one has a pinball arcade attached, too!

I didn't know there was one in Fargo until walking by the ice machine on our hotel floor. Sitting by the trash can were some Boss' pizza boxes and I talked the family into hitting them up, of course recognizing the name from the NSIC Show.

That's good information! We make it to Fargo more than the other spots, but having recommendations all over helps. With all of our travels, we try our best to not hit corporate chains, or at least the really big ones (Green Mill being an example of a smaller chain).

Using maps and reading reviews has brought us to some wild, but amazing places along the road!

I agree, Google Maps has been awesome for finding spots off the beaten path to eat, especially for "safety meetings" before hockey and baseball games. I am always a sucker for some little bar/supper club on the back roads that we travel.

There is a Boss' in downtown Fargo, my wife, son and I ate there one night while my son was in town for a Fargo Force eval. It was good pizza.

Today I learned Lange’s is closed :( A lot of good memories and great food there with my grandparents.

Never got to experience it unfortunately - I remember going down to Pipestone for a work thing one day, then hoping to stop. This was maybe five years ago. They weren't open at that time, not sure if it was permanent or just reduced hours. But I have a friend in SD that said he and his friends would run over there all the time in HS because it was open 24/7.

These food posts will come in clutch this winter…our daughter is playing club volleyball and two of the tournaments are right in NSIC territory! Fargo/Moorhead and Sioux Falls! I hope we can get to Boss’s for a meal.

i really liked the Danger Avon Dempsey place in Aberdeen, but understand it has since closed. The one in Brookings was good, but the Aberdeen one was better

in Moorhead I recommend Mick's Office for a dive bar and a burger.

for a meal I would recommend Midtown Tavern -- good variety on meu and good pizza too.

Fargo has 2 dozen great places so won't list them all.

The last time I was there was on the way back from a big win- either USF or Augie- and we stopped. Waitress talked us into celebrating with a steak after I planned on a beef commercial. Pie is always a winner.

Speaking of pie- ate at Pete's Grill in Hector on Monday. Four people next to me were thinking about ordering it. Told them they couldn't go wrong. They were from out of town but stopped because McCormick's in Hutch was closed. They were really happy about the meal AND the pie. Turned out they were friends with one of my coaching buddies. Small world.

PS: Pete's has been run by the Petersen sisters for 43 years.

I have had pie at Pete's in Hector -- it was great

Alexandria has a place called "Hook and Slice". It is a golfing simulator place (four bays) that serves pizza and has a full bar. Their Detroit Style pizza is pretty d#mn good! Tuesday and Thursday nights, they have what they call "The Four Corner", basically a personal sized (four squares) Detroit Style, for $13. If you are not into golfing, you can just walk in and have pizza and a drink.

Speaking of food - but has anyone been to the Minnesota Wing King just outside of St. Peter? That's on my list to try.

Jacks Natural Rising Crust Cheese was my staple growing up. Now its California Pizza Kitchen BBQ Chicken. Hy Vee in Winona used to carry Peps and 7th Avenue which are really good but stopped carrying them a while ago.

Jacks had a thick crust at one time - that was about right. If I'm going cheap, it's just a Jack's pepperoni - once in a blue moon (another restaurant in the Mankato area I want to try), I'll fry up a bag and throw it on top. If I'm feeling like a high roller, it's a DiGornio Stuffed Crust. Try not to make a habit out of any of the three though.

Does anyone remember the Royal Fork? Fargo, Bismarck, Grand Forks- maybe other places. I think they are all gone now.

Not personally, but my grandpa was a fan - he called it the "Royal Forklift"

I want to say they had one in Sioux Falls where Cracker Barrel is now? I can't remember - but it was a family favorite before my time.

DvD in Brookings was much better when they opened - it fell off a bit, probably once the owners went north again. I'm gonna try Pizza King on Friday, I was not a huge fan of George's when I moved to town which is apparently blasphemy around here lol.

Sioux Falls has a ton of options - all depends on what you're lookin' for.

Windom still has a Godfathers and it is awesome

Yes - I forgot about them. I stopped in a year or so ago on a drive through and it was great.
