“Excellent food...service leaves something to be desired”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 9, 2012

Dined with business colleagues after a convention two nights in a row. The food brought us back, not the service. Our first night the server was slow, confused and clearly flustered by the fact that he had to handle two large parties. But, the Cowboy Steak---one of their frequent specials---made up for it. It was well-seasoned and delicious. Though the... More

“Great Food, Excellent Drinks, A+! What more can you ask for?”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 3, 2012

I always recommend Peacock Alley to people visiting Bismarck - or locals who need a new place to meet up. This is one of my favorites! They have a great new Happy Hour Menu, and a wide array of beers, wines, and martini's. They also have an excellent dinner menu with new entree's created by the Chef each month. I... More

Will not be going back. My friends and I were charged outrageous prices for dive bar quality. They even charged us for ice. Really downhill since the new management took over. More

We do NOT charge for ice. We stand by the quality of food served. We use only the freshest possible ingredients available. Not sure what food you had that was overpriced. More

“Never again! Service is awful and server a 'Slick Willy'”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed January 30, 2012

Our visit was on January 27, 2012. I don't even know where to begin. I will start off with a comment that the food is great. HOWEVER, beware the Slick Willy approach by your server. When one of our party of nine tried to order a ribeye, the server suggested their "cowboy cut" special - failing to mention this "special"... More

I rarely respond to so called "reviews" but this one compels me because it is NOT a review it is an unfounded complaint from an uninformed person. First of all the salad prices are clearly marked in the menus and what comes with the entrees are also clearly stated. Second it is uncommon and perceived rude to state the price... More

“Delicious and Welcoming”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 10, 2012

I think the Peacock Alley is great. The food and martini's are wonderful! I had a chicken dish there, off of the monthly menu with the head chef's recommendations, last time I visited and it is one of the best meals I've ever had. I'm always in the mood for a gummy bear martini, and overall the atmosphere is welcoming.... More

“Probably one of my favorite places to frequent in Bismarck.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 10, 2012

I love the Peacock Alley. The food is always amazing, and I think you get what you pay for. They have monthly specials that the head chef reccommends. They also have less expensive choices like wraps and burgers. The martinis are to die for and they always have seasonal ones like "s'mores". I like that they have a "Tini Tuesday"... More

$69.00 for TWO! A fFOUR course meal with a bottle of wine! Where can you get that at a fine dining restaurant? The prime rib was excellent, cooked to perfection.
