Thompson's Café

Only time we ever get a great meal is if the owners are cooking! Otherwise forget it. They get our order wrong dang near every time. Last time we were there as a family, we were the only ones in there. Bunch of kids working. Bunch of tables dirty. I watched as they put our plates of food up and yelled order up. And then as the waitress went for our food the cook throw something from the kitchen at her. I watched it land in one of our plates and the waitress picked it out and brought us our food. Gross. They were screaming and yelling... apparently forgetting there were customers in there (us).

You better be local if you want good service! We waited for 30 minutes to place our order but locals got menus and their food! Finally got our food and it was cold, dry, tasteless lasagna, and hard, inedible bread. Our drinks were warm also, no offer of ice. We waited 20 minutes for the bill. I will never recommend this place.

Food was good, I ordered the nacho plate to go, and it came on a paper plate with saran wrap over it, I had specifically requested salsa and sour cream and got neither. My husband ordered the special, ham dinner, and didn't get a plastic fork, or salt and pepper.
However, the staff was super friendly, the wait time was short, and again, the food was good.

Awful! We walked in and nobody acknowledged us & they looked right at us, we finally got up and asked about service and menus. They brought us menus and a pitcher of pop. We again waited and waited and again got up and asked to take our order, they took it and we waited and waited some more. We saw a couple who came in after us get everything sooner than we did. Food was great! We never once got asked about our food or if we needed anything else. We paid $12 for that pop pitcher in the end 😠

First time ever traveling to ND. We are camping at the local park for several days. Eating a lot of hot dogs, burgers, etc... We were hot, tired and just wanted a good meal. Found Thompson's Cafe and ordered the salad, broasted chicken, with potatoes and green beans. Had apple pie too. OMG! It was perfect. Loved every bite. Please give the cook a big hug! Also, the staff and other customers were very nice. I've never commented on customers before, but they were really friendly. I'm really loving North Dakota!

Chicken fried steak was small but good as far as flavor. Teenage burger was satisfying. The waitress forgot our mango smoothie but I didn't hold that against her. She was very attentive and our food came out in a timely manner.

Burger, (teenager), and bacon was great! Service was also fast and friendly! If you're looking for something extra special, order the bread sticks with a side of maple syrup! Not kidding! Best thing I've had a long while.

Can we take a moment to discuss the bacon cheeseburger pizza? If you like a real nice bottle of fine wine, or maybe even some of that fancy high dollar Pappy Van Winkle whisky, or maybe, JUST MAYBE, your an ordinary person who enjoys a good meal, ABSOLUTELY stop in! The staff rocks, the pizzas are awesome, particularly that bacon cheeseburger one! Either way, this place is in the mix like a blender!

I’ve wasted so much time and money trying to get a decent meal from this place. I give up. Hospital food is better than what comes out of their kitchen. I’ll give them 2 stars because they’re nice.

Order takeout/great burgers/slow service/family friendly. Small town diner with amazing food but incredibly poor/slow service. Mushroom and Swiss burger was consistently delicious! I've visited on 6 separate occasions...food always took 30 mins to an hour no matter if there were 5 people in the entire restaurant or 20. Noticed many people eating from the salad bar and lots of to-go orders. Homemade deserts. Clean restrooms. Large menu.
