3 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 June 2013 NEW

Dined late but found the bar still busy with a youngish crowd. Ordered lobster bisque to come at the same time as a plate of artisanal cheeses, both as our appetisers. Intention had been to follow with duck nuggets and a veggie burger. Sadly the so-called lobster bisque had no obvious lobster taste but maybe this was because the chef... More

This place is the signature dinner and drinks venue in downtown Fargo. You go here to see the clientele filter through lounge (or up to the Sky Prairie rooftop patio or Stoker's basement wine bar), but the food and drinks also put on a show. The food has gotten better and better with the new cooks and the drinks have... More

We eat here periodically and love the atmosphere. We really like the eclectic menu with local ingredients. The Mother's Day brunch was a disappointment. The salmon, pork, and buffalo were all very dry. The home made sausage was way to heavy on what I think was a liver taste. The deserts were limited and disappointing (on Mother's Day). We will...

The HoDo is the more "upscale" bar to go to in downtown Fargo. The cocktails are slightly more expensive than in other bars in downtown, but you are paying for the atmosphere and the greater variety of top shelf liquor. I would definitely recommend trying the food at the HoDo as well because it is very good!

I visit Fargo on business once a month, and continue to look forward to dinner at Hodo. I actually plan my trips and meetings around being able to experience whatever new culinary adventures Nick and Ryan have come up. The last few months have included the best beef filet I've ever had, the amazing and never before seen Chicken Muligatawny... More

I NEVER expected to eat someplace like this in Fargo, ND of all places! I was treated to a lunch by a friend, who RAVED about the food, and her comments were well founded. Even an everyday ordinary dish was raised to a level of exceptional quality!. My friend ordered the fish and chips, offered me a taste - I... More

The HoDo continues to offer a great dining and lounge experience. The menu is fantastic and the food is mouth watering. The ambience in the dining is superb. Head to the lounge for a few cocktails after dinner. The lounge has comfortable seating and great décor for a metro feeling.

I went to Hodo about 4 months ago for lunch and had a good experience, so I decided to go back since I was traveling through Fargo. We ordered fish and chips and duck. The fish came on top of a mountain of greasy soggy french fries and had a greasy crust, that came apart from the fish which had... More

A great place to sit and chat with the up and coming community in Fargo...we were there after a gallery opening and the artists there were many of whom had lived and studied in NYC
