    Good Salads

    One of my favorite salads here is the one with crab cakes or, if I can get someone to join me, the salad for 2 is killer!

    Good food and ambience

    The pizza was delicious as was the soup -- a bit pricey ($5 for a cup of soup) but homemade and delicious. I was a bit disappointed at the craft beers offered. Location was easy to find, but certainly an unremarkable and drab exterior. Inside...More

    Definitely a Hidden Gem

    We found Walrus Restaurant by a google search for restaurants in Bismarck. The menu looked intriguing and it was open on Sunday night, so we gave it a try. Driving up one may have second thoughts - it’s in a small, nondescript shopping strip in...More

    Special!!

    The special was fantastic! Medium rare hangar steak with broiled shrimp and a great chimichurri sauce! Beer was cold and the service was great! Will go back!

    Good Vegetarian Options

    We came to Walrus Restaurant because of the great reviews and vegetarians options! It was a good choice. We enjoyed the Green Thumb Sandwich and the selection of beers. The staff were nice and if we find ourselves back in Bismark, we'll visit again

    Great salad

    Stopped here for lunch today. Service was good but a bit slow. Tuscany salad was one of the best salads I’ve had in a long time. Side salad and burger were also good. Definitely would come back.

    Great find!

    Stopped in for dinner while on our cross country road trip since the menu looked really good. Lots of interesting things. Looked like a place where locals eat and was pretty busy on a Sunday. Wanted the short rib goulash special but they were out...More

    May I give a 6 star rating?

    Ok, it's in a strip mall, but the ambience is good. They have a great menu with LOTS of variety. I had the crab cakes appetizer for my meal and was delightfully stuffed. The crab cakes were processed, but the veggies and dressing on which...More

    Highly unlikely. Their physical setup just isn't geared for much take out. It's not hard to pick up and take it back.
