Driving back to Canada I stopped at this restaurant yesterday seeking a nice pasta. The spaghetti and meatballs were nice, a bit salty for my taste, but that is just my pallet as I normally do not use salt. I also ordered the chili as I love a hearty chili, and it had a rustic spicy flavor. The balsamic dressing on the salad was tangy. The meal was a plethora of flavors, and I will definitely be back again.

One of the gems of Minot. Went here twice in the week I was in town. I ordered the Italian sandwich and had pizza the next visit. Both were excellent. Our waitress, Skylar, was also great. Highly recommend if you're in town.

I went to The Starving Rooster yesterday for the first time after hearing that they have the best pizza in Minot. THEY. DID. NOT. LIE. The pizza is AMAZING!!!Amazing. Did I say amazing? Because I mean AMAZZZZING. I ordered 6 different pizzas and each one was delicious I have lived in major metropolitan areas and eaten my fair share of pizza and out of all the places I’ve been this is definitely one of, if not my new favorite and by far the best place for pizza in Minot. I had a piece in my car, and when I got home I had a piece at room temperature and today I took the advice from what I’m assuming was the owner.. (She even took the time to tell me how to reheat it since I live out of town). Although, it was even great cold! The crust was crusty on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside. Lots of toppings and huge chunks of sausage and slightly crisp veggies and look at that cheese pull!! The staff seemed very friendly and attentive to their customers that were dining in. The inside of the restaurant was very clean and chic looking. I can’t wait to go back and try their other dishes. They definitely have a new loyal customer. Update: I’ve been back a couple other times and tried the other pizza... still amazing! (added a couple new photos)

My wife loves this place, so I took her there Saturday night for a little one on one dinner date (no kids, thanks Rhonda). It was a little past 8:00 and I thought it would be packed, but actually there weren't as many people there as you would think. It was a nice place to go and hang out and chat. I had the Thai Chicken Salad and my wife had a quesadilla. The food was great, and so was the service.

Just a simple soup and sandwich on this visit. Food was very good. Not overly complicated, just done well. Table conversations went long, service continued to be attentive, but not overly so. This is a solid choice, even if your not in the mood for pizza.

Really great pizza/flatbread: the Ground Hog, Triple Gear, Blackened Prime Rib, and Thai Chicken are standouts. Service is great and the lighting is appropriate.
