Reviews for Teddy's Eatery and Back Alley Bar in Fargo, ND
I used to frequent the restaurant Rosie?s (before it became Teddys) and the restaurant was my favorite in the city. It?s not... saying a lot since it?s Fargo, but it was nice to have a decent restaurant to go to. Since then, it?s gone downhill. We alwayscame for the grilled cheese and tomato soup. We loved the gluten-free options, but they?ve gotten rid of the gluten- freeoption. The tomato soup has significantly changed and seems to come from a can. It tastes like a nursing home soup. If you havea baby, there?s also no changing table in the restaurant. The salad was also not fresh and the dressing you could not taste Wedidn?t eat the salad, the tomato soup or the kids pasta because we did not like them and still were required to pay foreverything. Was the most expensive grilled cheese sandwich we have ever had. A good restaurant in my opinion would have taken atleast one off of the receipt. They also were out of a ton of liquor options. Not sure if it?s the new ownership, but I will notbe coming back. Read more
Would be 5 stars with faster service. This place is clearly understaffed which to me tells me management isn't taking care of... their staff. There was literally 1 bartender, 1 server, 1 cook, and 1 guy washing dishes. There wasn't a wait, we sat at thebar, dirty dishes sitting around while the guy who's suppose to wash them was munching on chips in the back room... I waitedover 20mins for the drink that was on special and there were only maybe 4-5 other tables of 2-5 people. Fortunately, thebartender kept a sunny disposition, despite her clearly being either inexperienced or overwhelmed... for a Fri night, thereshould be more than 1 bartender and when sitting at the bar it simply shouldn't take 20+ mins for a simple drink made with apre-made syrup and ginger beer..... However, the food (once we finally got it 50 mins later), was insanely delicious!! I got asalmon salad and some mashed potatoes and it was one of the most delicious things I've eaten in a very long time!! I wish Icould give 5 stars Because the staff deserve it, but whoever owns this place needs to get on the ball and offer better wages toyour staff so you have enough people... and I know they can't keep staff because there's even a "Now Hiring" chalkboard as youleave the front.

Sizzling Steak Salad was terrific. Avacado, blue cheese, pickled red onion, blueberry and sun dried tomatoes were a great combo... with the perfectly cooked steak. Read more
The food came out very quickly and they have an open kitchen. My cocktail is Pineapple Upside Down and it tastes delicious and... just like the cake. I'm saving it for my dessert. The sauce tastes a bit like their tomato soup which they are known for thebison meatballs seem a bit dry and or overcooked but I realize bison a tougher meat. I like my dish it's just more comfort foodhomemade tasty than fine dining. The service excellent no complaints. The place is very cozy and you feel at home here and TeddyRoosevelt pictures art everywhere even inside the women's rest room. You can enter the the restaurant from Broadway or RobertsAlley. I would never miss a chance go here one of my favorites. Read more
The open kitchen concept is a little bit down grading to the style and type of restaurant that is trying to be portrayed. Had... the beer cheese soup, came out luke warm, very bitter in my opinion. App was the sampler, and the meatballs were cold in themiddle. Maybe they didn't microwave them long enough?? The chicken fettuccine came out warm enough...I guess. Alot of betterrestaurants to choose from downtown. I would highly recommend rose wild across the street! Much better food and about the sameprice! Read more
Have loved my meal every time I?ve stopped by- except today the chicken in my sandwich was lukewarm at best. I ordered the... Chicken Bacon Badlands sandwich and did not feel it was worth $18. I took the entire piece of chicken out of the second sandwichslice. I should have stuck with a grilled cheese and soup combo. I much prefer the previous menu for sandwich selection andvalue for the price. I was one of two customers in at the time and took almost 10 minutes to be greeted by a server at the tableI chose.

Another great downtown restaurant. The beer and drink selection is really good. The French dip, french onion soup, and beer... cheese soup were some of the best I've had. The lemon creme brulee was amazing. I was disappointed with the hot ham and cheesedue to the quality of the ham. I felt it should have a thick slice and not lunch meat. Overall a great experience, greatatmosphere and great staff. Read more
Fantastic food, great service, and wonderful drinks! Chris and Anna were both very nice and made the whole experience even... better. 10/10 would recommend. P.S You should definitely try their velvet chocolate martini. Read more
