4. Ladybug Latte

They have Red Bull Zingers!

From inside a small drive-though, Ladybug Latte has earned its spot as a top West Fargo business. They know their regulars, they’ve mastered the meaning of quality customer service, and they make delicious, caffeinated drinks! They have creative and classic drinks, seasonal offerings, and more. One of their unique drinks is what they call a “zinger,” a mix of syrup flavor, Red Bull, and your choice of optional liquid mix (some do cream or lemonade)—kind of like an Italian soda, but with some wi-ings!

“Before you knock it, you HAVE to try it. I used to get these in my hometown, and I’m so happy to find a place that sells them here. I love to get a berry flavoring!” – Geneva Nodland, Editor

7. Randy’s Diner Too

Skip the wait on University!

One of the best local puns, in our opinion, Randy’s Diner Too in West Fargo is one of the top spots for breakfast, brunch, and morning coffee. The pun comes from the first Randy’s Diner, located on University Drive in Fargo since 1980, and since this was the second diner location, and it was called Randy’s Diner as well—the name, Randy’s Diner Too was born! Everyone knows that on any given weekend morning, Randy’s Diner on University has a line out the door, but did you know you can jump on 32nd and head to Randy’s Diner Too and find a spot at their larger, new location? From Midwestern classics to soup and pancake flights, Randy’s is a staple in the FMWF area.

8. JL Beers

Take home your favorite fresh ground peanut butter!

Everyone knows JL Beers for their trick “feature” on the (made-up) Guy Fieri’s Burgers and Brews, posting a photoshopped image of Guy in front of their West Fargo location a few years ago, but the large response showed anything but surprise—because no one would be surprised if Guy Fieri visited the burger joint, it’s that good. Some menu hacks include an order of fries with cajun seasoning (a must-have according to some), and you can order 8 or 16 ounces of their Fresh Ground Peanut Butter to take home!

West Fargo, and specifically the Lights area, is a hotspot for hockey families. With the ice rink at the complex and the neighboring West Fargo Sports Arena, along with the natural local, love for the sport, it make sense to for the sports bar and grill to be where it is.

40. Junkyard Brewing West Fargo

Head to page 52 to learn more about its owner!

The highly anticipated expansion of Junkyard Brewing into West Fargo introduced the West Fargo community to the brewery, as much as it introduced the brewery’s fans to the developing and dynamic downtown of West Fargo. The taproom is a transformed 1979 building that previously housed banks like Bell Bank, and the new space merges retro-modern aesthetics with the brewery’s distinct personality. The renovation pays tribute to the original building’s midcentury design, like the main bar that wraps around an old bank vault, now serving as the beer keg cooler. They’ve got an outdoor patio area (complete with rooftop seating), three bars (two on the main level immediately upon entry and another on the upper level), second-floor seating that overlooks a two-story central atrium, kombucha, Junkyard’s classics and experimentals, complimentary popcorn, games, pop-up food and events, and much more! “My favorite thing about Junkyard West is that it offers another neutral space to the community, especially in the winter months. They have games, ample seating, and a relaxed energy. I would love to go there in the afternoon, get a kombucha, order some food for delivery, and do some work, and maybe even grab a brew at the end of my day! Also, it’s huge—one time that I visited, the immediate parking lot was full and there was still so much seating. Junkyard West has some more breathing room compared to their Moorhead location, but the same great vibe!” – Editor Geneva Nodland
