701 Eateries (Prairie Kitchen & Camp Lonetree)

Wow! 701 Eateries has a beautiful atmosphere and decoration, that goes right along with a fantastic menu. The Swedish Meatballs over mashed potatoes were authentic and delicious. The beef strogonoff was also very tasty. The presentation and service was top notch. There are many other options of dishes to try, definitely an excellent choice when in Fargo!

Came here for a date night dinner with my girlfriend on a Friday night a few days after Christmas. Absolutely lovely atmosphere supplied by an open kitchen and cozy lighting. The food is excellent, we got the smash burger, beer soup, and chicken sandwich. Highly recommend for a cozy meal. The patio upstairs was not open for outside seating, due to cold weather. We expected there to be fire pits or igloos to sit in. Prairie kitchen was the place to be (downstairs).

A friend sent us a link for 701 Eateries. I made a reservation for my wife and I for 7:30 on Saturday night. We arrived early and were able to have cocktails at the bar. Love the atmosphere and service at the bar was quick. We had cocktails and the Bacon wrapped dates .... Yum! We then moved to our table and started our dinner. Jerrica was very knowledgeable and answered our questions about the menu. My wife ordered the feature hot dish and I ordered the schnitzel. It did take a while for entrees to come out as we were behind a private party happening on the rooftop. They did let us know that was the case after we ordered so we weren't just left wondering. The only downside was my wife didn't get her salad until after her entree but everything was delicious. My plate was cool to the touch when it was delivered which is why my spaetzle was not hot. Otherwise all good. Thank you for a great evening to celebrate my wife's birthday!

Great food and we love the fact that there were so many vegetarian options.. everything tasted very fresh. We had very minimal wait in everything from drinks to food. Highly recommend. We will be back to try everything on the menu.. thank you.

I always love coming to eat here. The food is consistently prepared well, the meat is alway cooked to requested temp, and we leave happy. I started also bringing my son to teach him dining out and manners. They are always so nice.

I like things salty and never complain about things being so, but the cheese curds were sooo salty. The honey drizzled over them and the sauce helped but some of them were almost terribly salty. The carrots I liked to begin with but could have been done a little more and would have liked bit more of the creama on top, but then after getting past the first couple they were in a pool of liquid watery and diluted the best parts too for the majority rest of the dish. Poor service at the bar also in general

Nice atmosphere and wonderful service. Unfortunately, the food we tried were not much good in terms of taste(Lemon pasta, Burgers,Salmon). The patties of the burgers were extra crispy and having a burned taste. It ruined the taste of the meat / salmon. Also it was overloaded with pickles and was having tangy taste upfront hence I had to take out all pickles manually to eat it. How ever I had bigger problems due to the over crispness of patti. The positives were the wonderful service and nice atmosphere, arrangements and lighting. I wish they will rectify the food issues soon.

Updated *** My wife and I were looking for a good happy hour and rooftop patio. We found it here. Best margarita I've had in a long time. My wife had chardonnay that she really enjoyed. The nachos with beef barria again, major hit with us. Chefs kiss. We will be regulars now.. Old review *** Cool place, nice vibe. Good was either too salty or not quite enough taste.

We are at Prairie Kitchen. The brunch menu didn't offer anything that I was truly excited about. I was sad they were out of chicken and waffles! My daughter and I shared the sweet lefse plate and the breakfast sandwich. The lefse wasn't what I expected, but maybe that's just me. I will say the jam was to die for! Our server was sweet and attentive. The service was very good. I liked the ambiance and decor. Some of the seating was odd; we actually asked to move after we were initially seated. They were happy to oblige, so it was no issue.

Really wanted to like this place. Fantastic atmosphere, great looking menu - but it just fell short. For starters, almost never saw our waiter. Sat down to a table with half full water glasses, which no one stopped throughout the entire meal to refill. Two of the four of us were only drinking water so that was a little disappointing. My wife actually had to go up to the bar at one point to ask for a refill. More on that later. Food was mediocre best. Of the three dishes, we tried, none of us had anything remarkable to say about them. Personally, I had the meatloaf sandwich. While, the focaccia bread it was served on had good flavor, but it was very dry and crumbly. To add to that, the meatloaf itself was cut into two thin slices that were heavily seared, resulting in a very dry, flavorless sandwich. The other guests felt the brussels sprouts were overly sauced and slightly soggy. The shrimp tacos were so spicy, my wife couldn't eat them and had to walk up to the bar to get her water refilled to cool her palette. The dry rub chicken wings came out with sauce (which was odd for something listed as "dry rubbed"). That being said, the lefsa we had was quite delightful and tasty. Unfortunately, the food was just mediocre and the service was absolutely horrendous. I've worked in restaurants and in the service industry before and can understand subpar service when you're in the weeds. I'm typically someone who's empathetic to that sort of situation and will even text tip extra when I can see that my server is doing their best on a difficult night. That wasn't the case tonight. The restaurant was maybe half to 2/3 full and there was really no excuse. Doubt I'll be back.

Visiting Fargo from Mpls, checking out the Swedish inspired food...the oat groat salad, beer cheese soup and lingonberry sour were great!

I took a long drive because I knew I would not be anywhere near Fargo North Dakota any time soon. I was really glad I spent the hours on the road that I did as finding this location was such a treat. I gave it 4 as I only visited once. It wasn't lunch time and it wasn't dinner and I came into the restaurant and ordered at the bar. The manager on duty was very attentive and shared a lot of good information about the menu and the restaurant. Everyone was over the top friendly and nice , I say It all the time Service wins the day. Food was excellent. I had the Salmon cakes and the short rib dish. The side sauce for the cakes was great and the noodles with the rib were buttery and tender. Wine options galore, had the Rose. If you live in Fargo, how great for you. I would be here at least once a week. Thanks and good luck!

This place is a joke. Don't let the looks fool you. Expect to wait forever for lukewarm food. Expect long waits for bar service. Expect dirty glasses and plates to pile up. Expect everything to take forever. Expect it to be loud beyond comprehension.

We had a mix up on our group of 14 people and they accommodated our family. Food and service were excellent. One of our family is critically ill and you all may have made our last celebration wonderful. Thanks so much to the manager, he was best in class.

701 has great food and love the ambiance. Been here several times and we like to visit when we want to go somewhere with good food that's just a little bit special. Also love Camp Lonetree for the vibe - food is amazing too. Had the burger and nachos. We'll definitely be back!

I wanted to love 701. I love the concept. We went here for brunch on our anniversary. Husband and I shared the French toast and farmers breakfast. Portions were TINY. We wanted coffee but there was no coffee on the menu. We responded we weren't sure about beverages and no one came back to ask us about beverages so we just had water and went for coffee after. The food was good. The French toast was exquisite. Not too sweet. The cardamom was a nice touch. But the portions and lack of service really ruined the experience for us. We finished eating and really, really wanted some coffee by that point. We sat and waited for the check. And waited. And waited. So we went to the host and asked if we could pay. He was so confused. He got the manager who got our waiter. All were very confused. No one brought us a check and we were ready to leave. Why was this confusing? I'm not sure if we will give them a second try.

OH GOODNESS WHERE TO START!?! The quality of the food--- UNBEATABLE, the service-- can't be beat, the ambiance especially in the specifically themed "Alice in Wonderland" special, multi-course dinner--- PERFECTION! The phrase you get what you pay for? YUP!!! Also fun special events and "deals" available!!

We made reservations and met friends here while visiting in Fargo. Reservations are right as it is a busy place and parking can bea but if a challenge (we had to park 3 blocks away). The decor is modern and chic and the servers were friendly. My wife started with a Lingonberry Sour (see picture) and really liked it - tart and tasty. We started our meal with the Bacon Wrapped Stuffed Dates - delicious and highly recommended! For our meals, my son ordered the Butcher Block Burger (see picture), my wife ordered the Prime Rib Sandwich (see picture) and I had the Nordic Salmon with Dill Sauce (see picture). All tasted very good, but delivery took a long time and they were all barely warm when delivered. I'm not sure if they were left on the counter accidentally or if they intentionally waited for something that took longer to prepare. Overall, the atmosphere was great, but the prices were a little high and the food and service were only a little above average.

Had the short rib stroganoff my girlfriend ordered after she didn't finish it. It was *very* greasy to the point of disagreeing with both our stomachs a short time after eating and the to-go container was thoroughly soaked through and wet with grease after only a couple hours. Short ribs are a really fatty cut of meat, that's why they're really flavorful but it also means they cook up really greasy. When making a pasta with short ribs as the protein it's important to make sure all that grease doesn't hit the plate. I like the idea but the execution was a miss. Lean ground beef stroganoff is super easy, but the fancier protein makes this dish require a few extra steps that unfortunately were missed for my experience. I'd give the place a second chance but felt y'all should have the feedback. Cheers.

Service was excellent! We had a big group and they took great care of us! Food was superb! Menu was very eye catching! Yum!!! A great addition to the Fargo area!

*Crafty and hipster food in Fargo * Awesome concept and interior deco! Bartender told me this place is about 5 months old. Ordered wedge salad and it came in mini sized. Rhubarb mimosa was a nuance for ND and the midwest as well. I support this place :)

Fargo continues to add new & interesting restaurants to the region, and 701 Eateries is definitely one of them. This review applies to my experience at Camp Lone Tree, which is the upstairs venue. Food aside, the very large rooftop patio overlooking University Dr & 7 Ave N is great. It has a mix of indoor seating (bar or some seats along the windows) and outdoor. The outdoor has regular rectangular tables, high top rectangulars, high top circle, bar-type seating along the south and west railings, and some patio furniture. The menu is not very extensive but a nice mix with some sandwiches, a couple salads, corn dog, ribs and a few more. Plus a few shareables. The drink menu is probably larger than the food. We started with the French Onion dip & chips which was good and much more chips than we expected. I had the Lone Tree Burger with bacon, which was excellent - the flavored reminded me a bit of how burgers taste at Culvers. Others at our table had the pulled pork sandwich (very good & filling) and the wild rice strawberry salad (also good). I ordered the fries, which are separate; and are enough to serve 2-3 people. 5-star all around for our visit.

I went back with the same friend a few months later and tried the Swedish meatballs since they were GF (restaurant meatballs rarely are). Delicious! Everything on the plate was just great. This (and their sister restaurant Brew Bird) are my Go To favorites in Fargo so far.

Five stars for every aspect of this PHENOMENAL restaurant: the food, the service, and the ambiance. The menu is original, which is a rare find these days. Our starter, the cabbage rolls, was unbelievably flavorful. Our entrees, Swedish meatballs and short rib stroganoff, were exquisitely prepared and mouth-watering. Lastly, our Scandinavian dessert was rich and creamy. The service was friendly, yet professional. The ambiance was fresh and lively, while also cozy. I only wish we lived in Fargo so that we could return again and again to enjoy this spectacular culinary experience.

Always a great experience at 701 Eateries! This place has great service and consistently delicious food each and every time we go!

Don't go if you're hungry. Seem very contradicting about a restaurant but be prepared to wait close to half an hour before drinks, and an hour for food during brunch. I counted 9 occupied tables and 4 servers working. Servers are so disorganized to the point you'll get one server give you the wrong menus, second server pour you water and bring you the right menu, and the third to take your drink order and missing a drink when they bring it to you. Instead of making a round on every table they had, they would make multiple trips to tend to one table at the time. Kid's meat balls came out 10 minutes before every one else's food. Meatballs themselves were lukewarm and bland. Your dishes will come out at different times, too. Adult food is bland too. Only reason we took home left overs is so we can give the scraps to the dogs. Also, there's a 4% "employee benefit fee" tagged on your entire bill in the end. Could look pass that if service was better. Anyway, we've given this place enough chances and experience every time was similar. I'm very hesitant on leaving a bad review but people should know. Needless to say we won't be back again.

Excellent meal from start to finish! Our server Teddy was sweet and the assistant manager came over twice to check on us and ask how things were. I love the atmosphere and how they kept some of the original flooring. We started with the Nordic Inspired Board which was delicious! I let my Norwegian spouse have the herring :) but we shared everything else. The trout dip was Amazing!! For entrees we had the salmon with dill sauce and the Steak Gorgonzola pasta. They have a nice cocktail menu and wine selection-both of which we took advantage of. Overall a wonderful meal and experience at 701. This restaurant is a great addition to the FM area!

Loved my meal and the aesthetic of the restaurant! If you're looking for a place with great gluten free brunch options check this place out!

I love the midwest modern food of the main floor Prairie Kitchen. This place is really 2 restaurants in one. We ate at the Prairie Kitchen The lefse platter hit the mark and the Bacon Wrapped stuffed dates were yummy! I had the Swedish Meatballs and my friend had the salmon both of which were great. The service was great and the ambiance was warm and cozy. I want to go back for breakfast and also to the upstairs patio call Camp Lonetree patio where there is a different menu. It looks fun and casual.

The establishment is beautiful. Cabbage rolls came out with sauce, when requested to not (sour a bit much of vinegar). But the kicker was the salad which came out wilted and soggy, absolutely gross. The idea that it was placed on a plate for consumption rather than a dumpster, leaves me with never wanting to eat here again

As a vegetarian I rarely get meals at restaurants that I rave about so I was very surprised that in Fargo, North Dakota, I had a very memorable meal at 701. The butternut squash with brown butter sauce was outstanding. Service was friendly. Decor was very pleasing. I wish I lived closer! Upstairs is a nice bar (with a different menu) with a large outdoor patio.

Today was the second time I've been to Prairie Kitchen, but since my first visit, I've just been looking for a reason to come back. I'm completely shocked this place doesn't have 5 stars. The first time, I went for dinner and couldn't decide between the Hot Dish of the Moment (cheeseburger - it had pickles --- yum yum yum) and the swedish meatballs. I ended up ordering the meatballs, but got the hot dish to go (had it for lunch the next day and it was amazing). Our server was Cameron and he was very helpful and attentive. Today, I brought my husband and we had the gruyere fries, lunch portion of the swedish meatballs, biscuit & gravy, a cinnamon roll and scotcheroo. The portions are perfect, the service is friendly and the food is delightful. Rachel was our server today and she was upbeat and friendly. I wanted to try something else today, but the swedish meatballs were just so good I couldn't not have them again.

I ate in the Prairie Kitchen portion of 701 Eateries last night and I was extremely impressed. The atmosphere is beautiful and the menu is a perfect mix of "fancy" with a North Dakota twist! I made the server aware that I was Celiac right away and ordered a drink I wasn't sure was gluten free because it was "infused" with graham cracker. She came back and informed me it wasn't gluten free which I really appreciated. She also made a special request to the kitchen to be sure my food wasn't cross contaminated. Also, a large portion of the menu is gluten free, including some desserts!! I didn't feel sick at all after my meal and everything tasted amazing!! I will be returning, this is a great addition to Fargo

Very good food for lunch. Nice atmosphere that isn't bar and grill Like to try for dinner

We had the corn fritter appetizer and it was good but a tough share for three people. We needed about one more order for three people. The waiter recommended the Peppercorn encrusted Bison, so that's what I ordered. You really have to like pepper if this is what you choose. The pepper overpowered the meat for me. I scraped it off and the meat was amazing!! My wife ordered the pork chop and that will definitely be what I order the next time we come. The chop was tender and amazing, but what really got me was the mushroom risotto it was served with. I thought the risotto was amazing and all of the mushrooms were fantastic!! My son ordered the Mac and cheese and liked it. He added the shrimp for $9.00 and he got three shrimp. He was a little disappointed and commented on the value, which was a good learning experience for a 7th grader. He said he would be sure to ask how many he will get next time before ordering blindly. He loved the shrimp and the Mac and cheese in the end and walked away happy! It took a little bit to get our food, but when everything is made with such great quality it's not a big deal. Everyone was friendly and this is definitely a spot we will stop into again!

Excellent food and very warm atmosphere. We ordered 5 different dishes and apps and everything was excellent! Very unique and interesting flavors that were off the chart good. Server was kind, warm and prompt. We would go again next time we are in Fargo.

Was at 701 last night. The place is very appealing visually. The food was good (not excellent, but good). My biggest complaint is the noise level. It is not possible to hear table mates when they speak!. My brother-in-law has a decibel reader on his phone.. it was close to 80!.. that is insane.

Prairie Kitchen 701 very spendy even charge for jam and extra fee for service. Got charged for jam and I did not get! Food was average for their breakfast. When you order ask if the charge for jam, ketchup etc. The breakfast potatoes hash not cooked well enough very crunchy with carrots not cooked long enough. Two drinks and breakfast over fifty dollars!,never again.

The service was outstanding. Staff was kind and helpful explaining the various dinner options. The meal of ravioli was delicious, well presented and highly recommended! It was a great place to take company from out of town. They were impressed!

We spent three days in Fargo running errands and shopping. We tried a variety of restaurants and gave all of them 4-5 stars. Except this one. I ordered an English Pea Salad that arrived nothing like it was described, the server said, "All of our food comes in pre-made and we can't control the quality". That would explain our entire meal here. My husband's short ribs were actually ONE 4 oz rib that was over cooked and stringy - for $32. I could go on, but it was a total miss. The service was really poor as well - two items we ordered were delivered well after our meal was obviously done. Next time I want Sysco truck food, I can get it at any bar for a fourth of the cost with at least a smile. The only bad dining experience we had the whole time in this lovely city. Would never go back to this place again, can see why it was not busy on a Saturday evening.

Upstairs balcony "Camp Bar" is neat, great view, could use shade like umbrellas or an awning. The server with meth teeth was a surprise.. I just don't think ordering food and being served by a guy with missing green black teeth is appealing. And only seeing him once after the food arrives among other things was just bad service. The place is cool. If we come back we hope for better.

Great food, but service was far less than accommodating. We kindly requested typical things like salt, and everyone we talked to (including hostess) had the worst attitude and rolled their eyes with every request. The atmosphere is great visually. Definitely get a reservation or they will be mad when you have more people than they can seat.

Bathrooms were dirty,elevator all muddy. Outside entrance was dirty around dumpster wide open and garbage everywhere.

Atmosphere was unique and lovely. Service was horrible, perhaps the server was having a tough day, but having to ask for things repeatedly because she forgot, isn't great. It took one hour from the time we sat down until we received our food (this was for lunch, and no happy hour cocktails were involved). There were 3 other tables seated after us that got their food and left before we even received ours. Once our food arrived we weren't asked once how things were or if there was anything else we needed. Food was fine, hash was a bit undercooked. I am all for paying employees what they deserve including benefits! But that should be done by increasing prices, not by adding it as a 4% service charge to the bill. Not impressed and won't be back.

This place is a solid four star experience with some five star dishes. I read the negative reviews and cannot believe they are talking about the same place. The Scandinavian influence is all over the menu and some of the dishes were unique. Our server was a great server that actually encouraged us to try some new things and those things did not disappoint. She had us order a side of Brussels sprouts which my brother, who does not like Brussel sprouts, really enjoyed and I, who loves them, could hardly stop eating them because they were among the best I've had. We had a Swedish warm dish that was the special of the night and someone else had the Swedish meatballs that were like a taste of home if your home was one of those places that made great Swedish meatballs. The desserts were amazing. We tried the Rommegrot, a not-too-sweet warm and creamy custard that would make a great winter desert. But the homemade ice cream du jour with the nectarine and the thyme was an exceptional foray into a new taste combinations that we had never had and it worked! Definitely coming here again.

Dayuuuum! 701 nailed it- This will become the premier "go-to" steak destination in short time. Their upgraded spin off versions of our native menus growing up in the midwest has made this my favorite place. Rooftop sunsets? Yup Environment has far surpassed the typical expectation in Fargo. Thank you!

First visit was greeted with a heavy blue smoke haze at the front door with me reacting with the lakeside campfire "white rabbit" in my head. Glass of water couldn't arrived any sooner. It didn't improve as expected. Caesar salad drenched in excessive garlic dressing, steak overcooked to mostly well done and carrots were charred and cold. May give it another shot when the rooftop opens to make sure there's plenty of fresh air. The stars are for the staff as they made the stop enjoyable.

Love the concept but the kitchen has issues with timing and quality. Our wait after ordering food was almost an hour and then not pass ordered. The cheesecake had a funny aftertaste. When we dine out we don't want to be stressed about the food.

Flew in from Washington state kinda late and did a quick search for a place to go eat. Holy cow am I glad I found this place!! Some of the best food we've ever had! Even the kids loved their kids meals, lots of fun additions to their plates. Also, if you like Brussel sprouts at all, do yourself a favor and order a side here. Sooooo good! Our server was great, live music, great atmosphere, can't say enough! I will be trying my best to find a way to eat here again!

We dined here for a birthday celebration recently. The concept, kitschy Midwestern Lutheran church basement hospitality with Scandinavian inspired menu items. The service was ok, our server acknowledged she was in the weeds so our expectations were adjusted accordingly. The appetizers we ordered were great - the smorgasboard is a great sampling. Entrees - we ordered from all over the menu. Overall, everything was ok. The shrimp pasta- a little bland; the Swedish meatballs - a little tough and the gravy to mashed potatoes tip was off, but the portion was huge; the short rib was the winner - quite tasty and cooked perfectly. For dessert we split a tart - quite good; and a Scotcharoo (a Midwestern classic) - terrible. I have been eating Scotcharoos across the Midwest for over 45 years and have never had a version like this. The cereal component was good, the white no flavored layer - was new and I still don't understand why it was there and then a light schmere of chocolate on top. Fine but not the usual chocolate butterscotch topping that makes a Scotcharoo a Scotcharoo.

I got there without a reservation and even though they were full the hostess still went out of her way to find a table for me and my two young sons. Thank you Alexis and Sophie for making my (and my son's day) day. I was so exhausted from wrangling both my boys all week long while my husband's out of state for the military and this seriously made my entire week. Sophie and Alexis entertained my 2.5 year old and brought us water while we waited. The food was amazing and the service was the cherry on top. I can't recommend 701 eateries enough!

The ambiance, food and service were all excellent! Such a unique building and menu. We loved it and will be back!

I have always loved the food-burger and steak in particular; however, Sunday brunch/lunch are something I need to avoid. The DJ has the music so loud that it's hard to order or talk. Today we waited 30 min after ordering to learn that they were out of an entree. The manager was great-made it right but forgot to change the bill. Had to send that back to correct huge overcharge. On a positive note--the burger is still amazing!!

First time coming here. Waited for 15 to 20 minutes at Camp Lone Tree with my girlfriend. Didn't get any service so we left. Watched the waiters as they were serving people that came in after us while we were being ignored.

We attended a group event here last night. Nachos were awesome and I would highly recommend the sangria. Allison was our server and she was as good as they get. So friendly and prompt ( probably have to give credit to the kitchen and bar staff as well for that) and super attentive. Great rooftop atmosphere.

This was my first time at 701 Eateries. It was a mainly positive experience. The dining area and bar are beautiful. All staff that we encountered were friendly and helpful. I had heard their Brussels sprouts were amazing and they did not disappoint. I also tried the beet soup and that was outstanding as well. Just before our entrees arrived they turned the lights down, a little too low. It was hard to see my food. They did have electric candles, but they did not work. So when my steak arrived I had a difficult time planning my attack. This was not helped by my dull steak knife. The first few bites of my ribeye were gristle and fat. A disappointing start, but there were many good bites later. The slaw topping was very good as well. I know I've laid out some negative parts of the experience, but so many things were very good so I still give it 4 stars and would return. The upstairs bar seemed fun as well with a nice out door space with games.

BEST STEAK IN FARGO hands down! The restaurant was full and we had to wait about an extra 10 minutes for our reserved table, but that's understandable on Saturday night. We were sat (5 of us) and ordered drinks, which came out quickly and were very good. We ordered food, including a 31oz dry age steak and another fresh steak, so we expected a long wait for food, especially since the restaurant was full and honestly, I think it was only like 25 minutes. We were AMAZED! Only downside was the wait at the door since we did have a reservation, our server did take a bit to get our 2nd round of drinks and dessert options didn't draw us in at all. But realistically 4.5 stars because the steaks were THAT GOOD.
