Our Story

It started with a small goal; create a space where people could share their positive dining experiences at North Dakota eateries. Whether it was a quick meal, a late night dessert or an anniversary dinner, we wanted to hear about the event and were certain others would, too. How was everything? Tell us about the staff, the service, and the cuisine!

Soon, people were posting comments and photos sharing their intimate moments with complete strangers, and then something amazing happened — countless others joined in on the conversation. Posts encouraged the community to support local businesses, they complimented owners and staff, and they pushed positivity.

In just over 40 days, the BisMan Eats Facebook Group surpassed 11k members, strong and growing. The outpouring of support prompted the creation of North Dakota Eats; a statewide endeavor with the same love for everything locally owned and non-chain. While BisMan Eats focuses solely on a 20 mile radius of the Bismarck-Mandan area, North Dakota Eats focuses on the entire state, with an added emphasis on small town North Dakota.

Our goal is to create a foodie community across the state committed to our mission, which is,
“To create a community for foodies across the state so that the local food industry can thrive.”

We hope you’ll be part of our movement!
