Monday night was my first time to Pounds. I saw an ad for a Monday burger special so I went to check it out. The place has a funky atmosphere with graffiti and drawings all over the walls from artists and customers. The bar itself isn't the largest, but the rest of the establishment is fairly spacious. With other rooms with tables and even an area with different bar games. As far as the foods faired, it was good. Nothing special, but an okay meal at a decent price. I got the Basic B which is exactly what it sounds like, just a standard bacon cheeseburger which I added lettuce, onion and tomato. Overall it was a good experience, a relaxed environment with good music, friendly staff and fair selection of food and drink. If you're looking to get a little more wild this place does also offer that. Friday and Saturday nights this place gets loud and packed. If that's something you're interested in. Otherwise they do have some specials during the week. Monday is the 10 burger basket with a tap beer or pop. Not a bad place to check out.

I first saw POUNDS on Diners, Drive-in and Dives and knew I'd be flying into Fargo soon. When we landed, I decided to stop in before heading over to Ottertail, MN. Megan was my server and provided great suggestions on the various dishes I was considering. I ordered "The Grail" Burger with an additional order of pickle fries. When the order arrived, it looked terrific. But better yet, the tastes were wonderful. The pickle fries had a very nice batter coating which, was both crunchy, and gave off a nice bit of heat after eating a few. I enjoyed them a lot. The burger was excellent. The patty was done just right, the grilled onions, cheese, lettuce and bacon were in perfect proportion. I was very happy with Megan's suggestions and will definitely stop in before my flight back home. I'm looking forward to trying one of their mac 'n cheese bowls. It was a great stop. The food, staff, and atmosphere made for an experience to write home about. Well done, and highly recommended :^ )

I’d like to share my experience twice . 1st off they don’t have menus , the menus they have are used with a QR code which me and my guests only 1 brought a phone in so everyone was cuddled up trying to look at one screen . We thought it was so ridiculous that we left , also the seat were hard as a rock not comfortable. Since this place was shown on tv I was still eager to try to give their food a try so I ordered off DoorDash since there are pictures and I could read the whole menu. I love fried pickles , so I was excited to try these . I think the pictures speak for themselves. The picture is on DoorDash of what they say. The pickle fries look like and the one on the paper plate is what I received. needless to say, we will never be going back or ordering again.

We had a pretty good experience at Pounds. The food was really good. Definitely happy with it. (It is quite salty, so just be cautious if you're sensitive to that.) They don't have physical menus; you scan a QR code in order to check out the menu. Which is nice, but also not. Kind of annoying that they don't have a physical menu. The biggest downside to this place is the atmosphere. It was so LOUD. I was sitting next to the person I was with and we could hardly hear each other. The area is quite spacious, so you can get a lot of people in there. The Mac and cheese burger was really good, too. Definitely recommend! We'll probably be back if they turn down the music, haha.

Service was great and very quick, and the food was amazing! We got the Piggy Smalls sandwich and the BBQ Porker mac and cheese. Their pulled pork BBQ sauce was very good without being too powerful and went beautifully both in the sandwich and the mac and cheese. The mac and cheese sauce was also kind of mild, but very rich and smooth. They put jalapenos on the dish, and it added just the right amount of kick without outweighing the smooth flavors of the meat and sauce. Their fries were also very good: crispy and not too salty. My wife and I thought Pounds lived up to the hype we had heard and are very glad we went.

As an out-of-towner I feel like the data here is a bit skewed by the most obvious confounding factor, the people from here provide the most reviews. The service was great. Our server was very pleasant. Our patio seats were OK, I wouldn't say the "patio" has any ambience to speak of. The food was average. The burger selection is good, but they are simply double quarter pounders with a sauce or other additive (egg or noodle). The fries are simple and easily duplicated by baking some ore-ida fries from the local grocery store. A step above McDonald's for sure, but more like a 4.0, not a 4.4.
