Beer & Fish Company

We had been wanting to come here for so long and we were absolutely not disappointed. Being from Florida, I'm a bit more critical with seafood. The raw oysters were fresh and delicious. The crab cakes had a beautiful crust on the outside and were moist, creamy and flavorful on the inside. The lobster roll was filled with large, buttery pieces of lobster and the roll itself was fluffy and complimented very well. The cajun shrimp pasta was OUT OF THIS WORLD. Rich, creamy, flavorful. The service was a lovely, as well as the environment itself. It felt modern but warm. The owners and staff should be very proud of what they built! Will be repeat customers and will be recommending to everyone! Thank you!

I finally hit this place up to see what the rave was about and plus I’m a seafood person year round non stop 🤪 I spoiled myself with a #7 , side salad, calamari and a margarita. Five stars for customer service, damn good margarita and for the food. Although I wasn’t a fan of the calamari I didn’t let it go to waste. I’m told the walleye fish is known here in ND and is the best, so that’s what I got and it did not disappoint.

We weren't expecting to love it as much as we did. Not the normal type of food I would go to a restaurant to eat, but it was very good. My wife loved her lobster tacos. My halibut, walleye and spiral fries were crazy good. All Gluten free in a dedicated fryer. Great menu with a large gluten free menu as well. The Old Fashioned was also well done. Parking is tricky, but I believe you can park for 2 hours in the public ramp for free.

It was epic. Gluten-free fish and chips in a warehouse like setting with beer fish bombs hanging above. Add to that a happy hour for oysters and beer. And gluten-free bread and the same for ice cream covered in chocolate and nuts. The only thing nuts is you reading this and not having eaten there yet.

This was my second visit to Beer & Fish Company. My first visit left a lot to be desired so I was hoping that my second time around would be awesome... For starters I was seated in an area with a direct view of what I assume to be the pot storage for the restaurant. I love an open kitchen concept but this definitely was not that. I ordered grilled oysters, shrimp scampi, crab dip, a crab cake, and crab dip. The best dish on the table was the oysters! They were a little small but had amazing flavor. The pasta was a bit dry, but thank heaven for the sauce the oysters were covered in, I just tossed my pasta in it. The crab dip should be removed from the menu immediately. It was very loose, fishy, and had absolutely no crab meat real or imitation. The crab cake needed salt and a little love. I didn't have a drink but I could tell by the patrons next to me the margaritas are awesome. I recommend checking out Beer & Fish during happy hour to save yourself some money, trust me. It's an awful feeling to spend upwards of $90 for a meal that was not awesome.

Loved the crab cake appetizer. Delicious and soft. I wished I had ordered two and not just the one The fish batter was just right. Not too crunchy or salty. I tried their fried Thai pineapple rice for the first time and it did not disappoint. The only negative I would say is their coleslaw. At least to me, it was bland. You have to walk down the alley to find the restaurant but it is a hidden gem in Fargo. I will visit again.

Came here on a weekday evening with a friend and we both ended up liking it more than we expected. The place has a relaxed vibe, nothing fancy but comfortable. I ordered the fish tacos and they were pretty fresh, nice flavor and not too greasy which I appreciated. The salsa had a good kick to it too. Service was a little slow at first but the staff were friendly and checked on us a couple times. Portions were decent for the price. Not the best Mexican seafood I’ve ever had, but still a solid spot if you’re craving fish tacos or something quick and tasty. Would probably come back again.

This seafood restaurant is located in the heart of downtown Fargo and has a great atmosphere. The broken rudder dark beer is to die for! The manager, Derek, is on top of things and very attentive to customers’ needs. When it comes to seafood in Fargo, I can’t think of a better choice. Five stars!!!

Food was fantastic. Not one complaint on the food. Service was amazing waitress very attentive checking on us several times. Ambiance was very inviting and friendly

Great food in an alley downtown Fargo. So fun! We parked in the nearby parking garage and it was free on a Saturday evening. We made reservations and got right in when we arrived. I highly suggest the tuna poke nachos. They were so good. All the seafood tasted so fresh and such good quality for being nowhere near the ocean. We were impressed!

Decent sized oysters for a good price. The cod is also not bad. Friendly staff and has plenty sauce options. Happy hour is also a good time to go for their oysters. Located behind a yoga studio hidden in downtown Fargo. Usually packed so I like to call ahead for a table especially for bigger parties they have big tables in the back of the place which makes it a great place for a nice family dinner or birthday celebration.

LOVE! So many great options!! Love it when it's hard to decide what you want cause everything sounds good!!! I ordered the fish box with pineapple fried rice and a side salad as my sides we had muscles and oyster Rockefeller for appetizers. The free bread is awesome as well.

Wow, amazing food and service. Sydney was a delight! The portions were HUGE. I couldn't handle it and left so much behind but I was so full!!! We got the chargrilled oysters and they are FLAVORED. I will get the raw ones next time so I can taste the oyster over the garlic but the cooked ones were good. Both my partner and I got the pesto and loved it!!!! He kept the shrimp but I really wanted extra scallop. He commented that the shrimp helped add different texture to the meal. The menu has so many options and the place was packed with locals so I imagine the menu is delicious to work through. I loved all the art work!

1st time here. The restaurant is very clean. The service was good and the staff was friendly. The waiter brought out bread when he arrived. The bread had a crisp crust and it was warm soft inside. The room temperature butter spread very easily. It was good. I ordered fish & chips meal #3 which was 1 pc cod, 1 pc halibut. I chose fresh potato sliced chips. The batter on the fish was thin and very crispy. I like that. The fish was very temperature hot. For me I would've like the batter to have a little more seasoning to it, but it was still good. I liked the food, service and restaurant. I would come back again.

What a great surprise of a restaurant. In an alleyway, in downtown Fargo. We were here on business and saw it from the main road and thought what an interesting place. And boy it was. Service was great at atmosphere was great. Drinks were delicious and all the items on the menu were well received by our party. We had the fish and chips, the salad, the shrimp tacos, and their lobster bisque soup. Which everybody raved about

This place is very big, high ceiling and a lot of seating space, it's in a back alley right off Broadway. The food is amazing, I had a combo of #3 fish and chips, I upgraded to lobster bisque of $2 extra to replace the chips, it's $2 worth spending. The lobster bisque is very flavorful and you can taste bites of little lobsters inside. The size of both of my fish are pretty generous. The fish is flaky and fresh, outside is crunchy, one of the best fish and chips I had ever had. I had the combo so got to try both cod and halibut. But I wish they have combo of all three fishes I had crab cake for appetizer, which js very good size and filled with crab that you can easily see those crab meat. We also enjoyed the happy hour for $5 beer, the size is great for this happy hour. You can choose any draft beer for this price. Definitely recommend o take advantage to come here to eat/ drink early Service was not great, not sure if it was because it was earlier before their dinner time around 5pm, saw many waiter/waitress were standing near he bar talking but we were placed in the very back, hard to get anyone's attention to order or add food. Only had a chance to ask the server when they bring the food here, didn't come back to check on us, even there were only two tables in the back that time and the whole place is pretty much empty.

A little hard to find as you have to go through an alley to get to another alley, to get to the front door. Very nice interior, attractive staff, flavorful food. A little spendy, but that's typical for seafood in the Midwest.

Best happy hour around!!!! When I am in Fargo I always go to happy hour at beer and fish. Awesome two dollar oysters. Five dollar beer and six dollar glasses of wine. The lobster bisque and clam chowder are both outstanding.

Delicious food, excellent service, fun vibe! What more can I say? I always like to eat here when I'm in Fargo.

THIS WAS AMAZING! One of the best fish & chips ive ever had. The restuarant is such a cool & hidden gem! Being not from here, gave a great impression!

Best restaurant in Fargo! Very cosmopolitan and modern. Ordered the baked oysters just to say I ate seafood that far from the ocean. Service was impeccable and the bar well stocked.

The experience was a perfect night out with a perfect date! Our server was attentive and made great recommendations. We were adventurous and took his great recommendations. Dilled clam chowder, cod, and the tartar sauce is MENTION WORTHY! The grilled halibut was the best I've ever had, and I made sure every last drop came home for later (so much food)!! Great reception, service, fantastic food. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

Great decor. Lots of converted garage door windows. High ceilings. Great beer choices and served in a heavy goblet. Food was very good, also! Would come back if we ever drive through again.

Food was excellent. Service was prompt. Do make reservations as it can be very busy.

Great service and food. Comes out quick and the fish was nicely cooked. Beer was good.

What a fantastic spot! The atmosphere was perfect, high ceilings with lots of light, crisp clean decor, butcher-block table-tops, and a warm and inviting staff; oh, and the food and drinks were amazing too! Highly recommend the Cod fish and chips, perfectly done and quick to the table. The Oysters were fresh and very tasty. Local flights on beer and ciders were excellent as well. Great spot in the Broadway district of Fargo, it's a must!

Yes, it down an Alley... along with other places to stop in !! It has a few murals on the walls for a great photo-op. Stepping inside was very pleasant and "sea worthy". Fish murals and nautical decor made it quite inviting. Hannah was our Bartender. She was very pleasant and quite busy but still very attentive to our needs. Hannah brought over some homemade sourdough bread.... OMG... it was delicious !! We ordered the Cod sandwich to share with Fries. The fries were quite crispy on the outside and soft, fluffy on the inside.... LOVED them. Our disappointment would be that the Cod filet on a small hoagie roll, though very tasty, it was not very big for $14.00. All in all.... We'd go back, just order something else to share.

Brought a large group for dinner here recently and we had a great time here. With the big group they kept the energy up and nailed it from the apps to the drinks and the main courses as well. The table loved the Oysters, big hit. Good cocktails and wine. I'm going back for more chips and guac

Exceeded my expectations. Ordered grilled halibut and walleye fingers with risotto along with a side of clam chowder. Absolutely amazing delicious. Very clean and prompt service. Little pricey at around $45 without alcohol. Looking forward to another visit after I sell off one of my kidneys.

The food is consistently amazing. The service is impeccable. it's a great atmosphere and their signature. cocktails are delicious.

Amazing food and service the clam chowder was amazing for a side and the ahi tuna appetizer was really delicious. We had fish and fries the halibut, cod, and walleye was the best fish and chips ever the tarter sauce was to die for The location was really nice calm and quiet and smelled delicious 10/10

I had business in fargo for just the day and was looking for a lunch spot that didn't involve a heavy burger. I found beer and fish and was glad i did. This place is located on an alley entrance but i found it with no problems. Upon entering it has a sharp modern decor, unlike many of the more dated locations in town. Most of all when i entered i didn't get a fishy smell, which is always a good sign. I ordered a 2 piece cod fish n chips with a crab cake starter. I was a little hesitant on the crab cake order because i have had the real deal in boston and that is a high bar to make. Lots of places say they have fresh crab cakes but they turn out to be hard little pucks of mostly bread crumb filling. Not these! The crab cake was a healthy portion and it was mostly crab meat, with little filling. It had excellent taste and a touch of zing in the spice. Very good. The fish n chips was a good portion. The cod filet was thick so the ratio of fish to breading was definitely way more fish than breading, which i like. The tarter sauce was homemade with a nice flavor of dill. Fries were cut on the thicker side and well seasoned. One of the unexpected pluses was their homemade bread. It was served hot and was airy and delicious. Total homerun there. The service was above average and server had great recommendations. The whole place was very clean, including the restroom. I had a very enjoyable lunch and i would go back without hesitation. I was not expecting that level of seafood cuisine in fargo.

Beer & Fish Co. has quickly become one of my favorite spots in town! The menu is packed with incredible food, and I've tried just about everything from the rich and creamy Lobster Mac to the perfectly crisp Calamari. The Bang Bang Shrimp is an absolute standout. If you're a seafood lover, the Walleye Basket is a must-try. Not into fish? Their burger is amazing and just as tasty. Save room for dessert because the Gooey Butter Cake is absolutely to die for. It is the perfect sweet ending to a great experience. Highly recommend Beer & Fish Co. for anyone craving great food!

Great Service Delicious food and family time!! Loved the walleye & halibut!! Cool ambience!!

Beer & Fish is still the best place in town for a fantastic seafood dinner! Year after year. Great food, great service in a casual atmosphere.. A total must if you're from here or somewhere else. A+ don't pass it up!

Given hard crusty bread. Then we ordered some soup with way too much dill in the clam chowder, so unable to eat! There was way too much salt on the shrimp and grits (worst I've ever "tried" to eat actually). One star for the best thing we are which were the French fries! Not worth $50+ at all!! Not only that, they also have the worst parking dilemma imaginable!

Both the food and service were great! We tried the crab cakes, coconut shrimp, bang bang shrimp, lobster bisque, and walleye fingers. Everything was delicious. Our kids loved the root beer and berry mule mocktails. We'll definitely be coming back next time we're in Fargo.

I stopped in around 5pm on a Tuesday, and was seated promptly. My server brought out warm bread, and a glass of water right away. I decided to go with the 1 piece Halibut + 1 piece cod with house-made potato chips, and a cup of lobster bisque. The bisque was excellent -- thick and creamy, with a decent amount of lobster meat, and just a slight kick. The cod and halibut were nicely fried, with a pleasant, crispy breading. Unfortunately, the halibut was a little dry and very firm. I requested lemon aioli dip along with the traditional tartar sauce, and the lemon aioli was instantly my favorite -- next time I would skip the tartar sauce altogether, and just go with the lemon aioli. The potato chips had a nice, thin, crispy texture but I think the fryer was overdue for an oil change. The chips just didn't taste very fresh, and I couldn't eat more than a handful or so because the flavor was a little off-putting. The service was top-shelf. My server was very attentive, and checked back often, but not to the point of being annoying. I didn't have to wait very long at all for my food. The restaurant had a nice vibe, with good music that wasn't too overbearing. Other than the potato chips, my biggest gripe with this place was how cold the dining area was. The temperature wouldn't have been too bad inside but the dining area has several massive ceiling fans (like you would see in a warehouse) that were all running even though it was a cold and windy day out, about 15 degrees. I only made it about half way through my meal before the rest of it had completely cooled off from the constant cold air blowing from those d@mn fans. I would probably eat here again, but it definitely won't be on a cold day.

Food is good. Beware, they add a 3+% surcharge to your bill if you use a credit card. Had I known before, I would have gone elsewhere based on principle. Restaurant s should Compete on price and not giving a false appearance of value by adding on their cost of doing business with a credit card surcharge. That information should Be posted where consumers can see they will pay this charge. I had to ask what it was when I saw it on my bill. Where's the transparency?

I had the walleye and cod, my friend had the walleye and shrimp. We both felt the walleye was tasteless. I liked the cod, she liked the shrimp. All of our fish was nicely breaded and cooked just right. I had the hand-cut fries, she had the chips. We both prefer fries cut thinner. The chips were good. At first the service was excellent but when we were ready to leave it was as if our waiter had quit. In fact, we never saw him again. We had to find someone else to check us out. The place is nicely decorated, very clean, and the noise level was just right for normal conversation.

My husband, a friend & I dined here for the first time this evening, 4/10/25. Our friend moved here from California and was hoping to find a place with good fish & chips. She was very pleased. The service, atmosphere and food were great. Our waiter was Kyle. He was very patient & helpful in making choices. There is teamwork that took place as they brought all our meals out together & promptly. Fish & Shrimp were delicious as were the mussels & grilled walleye covered with beurre blanc sauce. Will definitely return again!

Would have gave it a 4 by I was not very happy with my service. The food was great, had the walleye and it was cooked very well and the breading was not think like other places. I also loved the atmosphere it's like going to a beach side restaurant in the middle of Fargo. I will definitely be going back.

Evan was the most amazing server while I was celebrating a belated birthday lunch with my mom. Evan was accommodating, agreeing to make a drink my mom had on her most recent vacation that wasn't on the menu, and made the entire experience memorable. The surprise birthday cake at the end is something I'll always love and remember! You gotta try the clam chowder and bang bang shrimp!

What a fantastic spot! The best chargrilled oysters I've ever had! Excellent menu options. Loved the overall feel with the exception of the back ground music. A bit too aggressive . Would definitely return when in town again. The food does not disappoint.

Love this place, tuff to park but great food and fun. Best seafood in Fargo by a factor of 10

LOVED this spot! It was our groups first time - we ordered the crab cakes (a MUST - so flavorful and full of thick crab meat!) the lobster Mac, the prairie fire pasta, fish and chips with halibut and the lobster roll. We also added the lobster bisque and the French onion soup. The lobster bisque was delicious, I'd recommend getting it and skipping the French onion. Great service and loved the atmosphere - 10/10!

First time in Fargo and heard about this place from a guy at the airport. Decided to check it out, Oysters in the half shell and steamed mussels. Totally amazing. They also have a great variety of Beers on Tap as well as amazing cocktail's. Staff is young and friendly and ready to serve, great service. The setting of the inside is amazing open and lots of room. Great place with a great future. Markham, Eastern Washington

Delicious! Our party of 7 all left extremely impressed. We were seated right away with drink/appetizers order placed soon after. Portions were appropriate and filling. We would love to come back and try more things on the menu!

I wanted to like this place because I love fish, and I like beer. So, I really looked forward to my meal. The reviews here on yelp lead me to believe it would be a good experience. But, unfortunately not. Our experience was ruined by poor service and bad food. As we sat in the restaurant, it is clear that the owner cares about service in that there are a lot of servers working, and some of them were working very hard. But, as seems common now, some of the wait staff, average age maybe 25, would rather visit with their friends than work. We were seated quickly, and offered a drinks that were brought quickly and our order taken. But, that was it. Our waiter never came back to check on us. He was hiding in the kitchen. So we sat without drinks for quite a while. We had a really hard time catching anyone's eye to help us, eventually having to leave our table to get someone's attention. That person got him to come and see us. When our food came, it was overcooked. The kettle chips burnt, practically inedible. The fish almost burnt. This is entirely speculation on my part, but maybe our waiter was distracting the cook from his/her job in the kitchen. What ever the reason, this is really poor service. If this place was cheap, I would be more willing to let this go - you get what you pay for. But, I think with a couple of drinks this was over $100. For that, I expect good, responsive service and properly cooked food. Sad, sad, sad. An awful experience.

Stopped by on a whim (and a positive Yelp score). Turned out to be a great dinner option. Probably the best Lobster Bisque I've had in years. Food service was quick even though we were there in prime time on a Saturday night. If you don't put malt vinegar on your chips you're missing out.

Very tasty! Excellent serving size. We ordered the shrimp scampi and fish choice (cod and halibut). Wish we weren't traveling or we would have had plenty take home leftovers. Enjoyed beer choices Fargo and Bimidji. Great friendly service.

I think everything is amazing, and I would highly recommend it. Service was excellent, and I like the location in the ambience.

Good food and service. Large group and accommodated us. People coming at different times

This was just okay. The staff wasn't overly friendly. The food was nothing special. I would not go back.

We arrived for dinner on a Monday night and is one of the places open for a Monday. Service was attentive between 2 servers, whom were also bartending. We started with salad & some chowders, which were very tasty! The ribeye was fantastic and cooked as requested. The halibut was presented well & tastes as delicious as it looks! As a Monday night, the crowd was light and the music was good 80s!

Beer and fish has been. Long standing favorite of ours in the FM area. If you are looking for seafood, this is the place. Although, keep in mind this is seafood in the Midwest so it will come with a price tag. You will pay more here than you will most other places in the FM, but Beer & Fish has the highest quality fish and service. It can be loud here. If you are looking for a quiet environment this is not the place for you. Due to such high quality food along with great service, 5 star rating justified.
