Certain German foods have become North Dakota staples. The fact that German food is so prevalent here should come as no surprise considering nearly half the population of the state is of German descent, specifically of people who fall under the Germans-from-Russia category. You can get a taste of the authentic recipes passed down from the immigrants who came and settled the prairie at this wonderful diner in ND, and you’ll be glad you did.

Frieds Family Restaurant is a charming hometown diner located in Mandan.
