Every so often, one stumbles upon a restaurant that's so outrageously wonderful they can't help but keep coming back to it time and time again; there are a handful of such restaurants in the Dakotas, so let's take a look at a family-owned hole-in-the-wall in Mandan that's so over-the-top delicious, it deserves a medal (or 10). The same folks have owned this little family-owned restaurant in North Dakota for more than 25 of the 75+ years it's been open, and it shows - it's one little place you'll want to return to over and over again. Check it out!
Welcome to Ohm's Cafe!
This little mom-and-pop stop is a long-time favorite of ours here at OnlyInYourState, and it's a long-time favorite of the locals, too!
The entire menu is perfect... we legitimately wouldn't change a thing about it, and it hasn't changed much in all the decades it's been a thing.
Here, you'll find the best breakfast and lunch diner classics, all of which will arrive at your table perfectly prepared and absolutely delish.
It doesn't look like anything fancy from the inside or the outside, but don't let that fool you.
In fact, we would argue - and probably successfully at that - that the humble nature of the place only adds to its charm. It seriously just means you're about to get a wonderful homestyle meal that'll taste like grandma made it.
The dessert menu is just as full of delights, too, so be sure to save room.
On top of the delectable American diner fare and desserts, you'll also find some to-die-for German faves, like cheese buttons and caramel rolls as big as your plate.
All too often, people walk right past this place without a second thought.
They don't realize that they're missing out on something great. All the more for us, then.
Maybe it's the perfectly-prepared goodies you'd expect to find in any diner done perfectly...
...or maybe it's the German dishes that have us coming back time and time again.
No matter what it is, though, our tastebuds are grateful.
