Atmosphere is absolutely surprising, great ambiance. The food was equally surprising, I was in the mood for Italian and I was definitely not sure if it was going to hit the spot, and it hit all the spots. I was delighted and impressed. I will be back. Service was excellent, it was clean and everything was a great experience!

I have mixed feelings. It felt like a home in the wall meets bar in a strip mall. None of that is necessarily bad. But for the service and price I expected more.

Service was amazing. Shout out to our server Lori. She was professional and timely, and somehow constantly filled my ice water without me noticing. Pizza was excellent, my family loved this place. Thank you Walrus!

This spot was okay! Very, very busy during lunch. Service takes a while, waited 20 minutes for our check after eating. On that note, the waitress was very friendly so not a completely bad experience.

Had lunch here while visiting my sister and brother-in-law in Bismarck and enjoyed the stop…good food and a good beer selection. While we found the atmosphere a little dark to our liking (low light levels made reading the menu difficult) the quality and taste of the food was great!

I tell you what, this place NEVER EVER lets me down. I’ve been a patron of years and years and I have not once, had a bad experience. I will always remember a friendly face and wonderful atmosphere. The owner is top notch and treats all her patrons with kindness. I will forever recommend this place to any and all who ask, “where’s a great place to eat in town”? Thank you to Walrus staff who always make it feel like home. Katherine is especially tenacious and will always greet you with a smile. Eat at the infamous Walrus, or you’re missing out!! The crab cakes are a MUST! Don’t forget to top it off with the tiramisu!!

After being in the area for about 2 years we finally stumbled across this fantastic little gem. The atmosphere here is cozy and enjoyable, service is always 110%, and the food is phenomenal. We have always had wonderful experiences here, and definitely look forward to the next time make our way in! Fantastic little spot for lunch, date night, casual dinner, and its kid friendly which is a huge plus.

So delicious. Can’t wait to eat here again. I had a pasta dish (gochujang pork belly) from the specials menu – I hope it’s available the next time I’m here. The garlic Parm fries are so crispy and flavorful. The restaurant was packed on a weeknight.

Went there for lunch and ordered this amazing pizza off their special menu. It was so good! The crust was the perfect thickness. Crunchy and chewy at the same time. The toppings were things I wouldn’t even think would taste good together but it was delicious! Pork belly, beet, Italian sausage plus other things I don’t remember anymore. Ambiance is good and very relax. Good for a quick bite, simple date nights, or friends night out.
