The Starving Rooster

Writing an updated review. Went to dinner on a Friday and received such a weird/bad service. I have no idea if she was flustered because she had a lot of tables to wait or what but it was awful. Our server's name was Amber. Our party was seated and had to wait for a few more people to arrive. My friend's husband ask for the TV channel to be changed twice until she changed it. We ordered drinks and I felt someone reaching next to my head slamming the drink down and dropping the straws next to it. This happened throughout our dinner. She would slam things down and I am not exaggerating when I say this because people I was with agreed. My party was not super demanding for context I know some customers have crazy demands but we simply ordered and asked for place settings that we never got before we received our food and napkins and things like that. I legitimately thought someone was about to smack me in the head every time she came around to give us our refilled cups. It was very odd and she would not stop when we would get her attention she would keep moving as if she wanted to remove herself right away. At least show the basic courtesy to stop and listen to your customer's requests. We all couldn’t stop talking about how bad the service we received was. On a positive note, the male server was nice when he came around to get our repeated drink orders, he stopped and listened to all of our requests then left. Not running off like Amber as we were talking. It’s so rude! I tried the chili here for the first time and it was so yummy. Probably the hidden gem here so I’d get the chili if you haven’t already. ——————————————————————— Went here for lunch during the week and the service was quick. I opted for their brick oven pizza which seemed to be their specialty and was not disappointed. The dough was still pretty thick but the toppings and the ingredients tasted very fresh. Some of my coworkers got the sandwiches that looked really good. I’ll definitely be back to try other items on the menu! Overall really liked the cute setup in there with wooden booths and decors.

The starving rooster with all it's good reviews brought me here while on business and it was worth it. I had the TSR NA (non alcoholic) strawberry cream soda, and despite this place being primarily known as a pizza restaurant, I decided to order the open fire roasted steak stroganoff that came with a salad of your choice, I chose the house salad that came with ranch in a chilled cup as to keep the dressing cool. Everything orderd is pictured.

We came here for a small dinner. We ordered a glass of wine, and they were pretty stingy with the amount. They barely fill it up to 1/3 of the wine glass. Another problem was that there were like 4 different people checking up on us. We were confuse which one was our waiter/waitress. I think the people just need to let the assigned waiter/waitress deal with their table. Too many people checking on a single table leads to confusion and interruption to the flow of conversations of the table. Aside from those issues, I had no problem with their food.

Had the Cuban panini and it was delicious. Had a side of slaw and it was pretty bland compared to the sandwich but all in all pretty good meal. Wife had the Alfredo pizza and it was pretty tasty as well. Prices seemed fair for the food and ambiance was good. Cool building in part of downtown minot that appears to be getting gentrified to the fullest.
