Smiling Moose Deli/ BurgerSear (Fargo Downtown)

My friend and I stumbled onto this place after trying to go elsewhere (they were closed) then, trying to find a food place that was open. The food was delicious. Staff was friendly. And it was warm on a rather cold Minnesota day. All in all a very nice experience.

Grabbed some food for lunch after Fargo Marathon. Placed order online and then was called by store letting me know they were working on catering order and that it would be another 45 minutes before our order would be ready. I showed up ahead of new time and food was already bagged and felt like it may have been there for a little bit. Overall the food was good even though not hot and fresh. My wife got a burger that was overcooked an lacking on the toppings. I got the Beyond Mo which was loaded well so no complaints there.

If you're going to charge $4 for a single brownie square, then it really shouldn't have the texture of a sun-dried, clay brick. The sub sandwich was tasty, but very much overpriced.

If you're looking for somewhere to eat in Fargo/Moorhead, you have at least a few dozen better options than Smiling Moose.

Food was expensive; I payed $11 for a small sandwich that did not have much meat or toppings on it. I was going to get the 1/2 salad and 1/2 sandwich, but they said they are unable to make 1/2 sandwich with gluten free bread. 🤷‍♀️ The ingredients did not seem fresh, and they use Udi's gluten-free bread, which is rather dry. The friends I was with also thought the food was expensive for what they got. It tasted ok, but overall I would not go back.

I’ve been to Smiling Moose Downtown many times and it’s been awesome every single time up until yesterday. I walked in and an employee had just finished up on the phone with who I presume was a manager regarding job performance. He immediately started complaining to his other coworker in the back about this phone call. This went on for about 5 minutes and nobody even acknowledged I was there to order my lunch. I left disappointed and got lunch somewhere else, but I’m positive that my next experience will be a good one. I’m just concerned that if it was someone that hadn’t been there before, they would’ve left extremely frustrated and would never go back.

Have been to Smiling Moose a handful of times in the past and it's always been delicious. I recently have had to cut out gluten for medical reasons so I tried the gluten free baguette offered (for 3 extra dollars) and it was really disappointing. Extremely crumbly, which made eating my sandwich almost impossible to eat, anyone who has had to navigate the gluten free world knows what I'm talking about. I wouldn't get it again for how expensive it was. The only redeeming factor was the inside of my sandwich.

Today was my first time trying Smiling Moose Rocky Mountain Deli and I have to say I have been missing out. First the one who took my order wasn't pushy or trying to rush me which I appreciated because I had zero idea of what I wanted. I then decided to go with a wildfire chicken sandwich, which let me tell you was seriously the most amazing thing ever. I highly recommend going!

First time here, and it blew me away! I loved the selection, and found it hard to choose just one. Got the Motherlode sandwich, and was very pleased. My girlfriend got the Dude Ranch wrap, and we both really liked that too! The chicken noodle soup wasn't bad, but I think it has room for improvement. Also the staff seemed really friendly and helpful.

If you want freaky fast service go to Jimmy Johns, if you don't want to wait for quality go to Subway. I love the food at Smiling Moose, and every time I've been there the staff have been friendly and don't rush your orders. The choices of everything is great and the build your own option is awesome. Don't expect them to be done in 2 seconds when you have tons of items on your sandwich, if you want it made right let em think while they make and let the ovens catch up while they make your food hot.
The price is a little high, but better quality. I'd recommend to a friend and I would def go back again~

Burger was not fully cooked. Cookie was not completely baked. Not the first time the burger was not fully cooked but will be the last as I won't return for another $11 burger and waffle fries which are good.
