"Owned by the North Dakota Farmers Union, it’s no surprise that Farmers Fishers Bakers focuses on made-from-scratch comfort food, a formula that along with its enormous menu and waterside location, has earned it a loyal following among locals. There’s something for every taste and time of day here: the restaurant is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and dishes range from scallop ceviche to prosciutto and fig pizza to St. Louis-style barbecue pork ribs. But the real star is the weekend brunch buffet, a $30 prix fixe extravaganza when diners can enjoy freshly baked cinnamon rolls, house-cured ham, customizable French toast, fried chicken, and more."
