Herd and Horns — Restaurant in Fargo

I stopped in after my last final of the semester for a nice, quick beer and burger; I opted for Herd and Horns over the Turf as it was more in the direction of my walk home. It had a really nice atmosphere, inviting and friendly, but I found it kind of odd that at the time I went, a little after 5:00pm, that it was less than half-full. Regardless, I expected being not so busy I would get my beer and burger relatively quick and be out on my way home. My server took my order, got my beer and I was happy. Twenty minutes later I started to wonder where my burger was, as my beer (I got a tall) was already less than half-full and I really intended to only get one to have with my burger. I noticed my server sitting on the other side of the bar talking among her coworkers with some food in front of her. I found it a bit unusual, but I just figured she was hungry. After another ten minutes had past I looked away from the televisions and found my server had disappeared. Another server had shown up behind the bar and asked if I wanted another beer. It had been around forty minutes at this point, no burger, and my beer was almost gone. I was getting ready to ask for the check for my beer when the second server came out and informed me there had been a miscommunication with the other server and my burger would be out shortly. In the end it took about an hour for me to get a burger, and my beer was gone before it showed up. Generally if a place is busy I can understand a little miscommunication between servers as shifts change, but I was the only customer at the bar area at the time, and I'm pretty sure I was her only customer as well. The burger was only okay as well. The meat and other ingredients were delicious, but the bun was quite cold and off-putting. Also, the fries were hot but chewy, making me wonder if they had been nuked. I will say my the second server was decent, really cheery and continually asked me how the food was and if I needed anything. After paying $18 for a burger and tall beer I expected better service, and better...

Yeah, the name explains it all. There is nothing about this place that is good, a good value, or anything other than just being in proximity to NDSU. Save your money and go to somewhere that serves a better selection of stuff, or go somewhere that provides better value. Response: I am changing my review from one star to five stars because this is the first business within the Fargo-Moorhead area that understands how much social media will impact the future of businesses in this area. It is a very well-known fact that the Fargo-Moorhead area legs behind what catches on in other metropolitan areas. Those areas are heavily entrenched in social media and keeping their core audiences engaged. I would suggest that other businesses learn from the management or ownership (whichever one is leading the charge on social media) of this business. There are media companies in Fargo-Moorhead that don't even know how to monetize their social media content or provide meaningful advertisement to businesses leveraging the power of online presence. Herd and Horns, here's to your future success that you are surely going to see! You have restored my faith in the...

We went on a Sunday in the afternoon and they weren't busy at all, there was a handful of people watching football. Plentiful TVs to watch a game. Very clean, our server, I believe her name was Ruby, was very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. I had the boom boom burger and they were out of pulled pork so it was subbed with chicken. Burger patty had good flavor, but definitely could have used some more sauce on the burger or some BBQ on the chicken so it wasn't as dry. The seasoned fries were tasty and I'd have them again.

Mom notes: not the most little kid friendly restaurant, all high tops, but the perimeter does have some halves that are booths. I would not bring an infant, but older kids would be fine. We were able to keep our toddler contained by sandwiching him between us on a booth bench. It was a spur of the moment decision to eat here or I would have looked at photos of the...
