Her favorite part about this job is recognizing small businesses that deserve a boost and seeing the positive affect her articles can have on their traffic, especially in rural areas that might have otherwise gone overlooked.
Let’s admit it – North Dakota isn’t exactly a prime destination for seafood. After all, this state is the most landlocked place on the entire continent (no, really, the geographical center of North America is in ND). With such a distance from either coast, we usually stick to steaks rather than fish. But what if you could have both and each be equally as amazing? That’s what you can expect at this unassuming restaurant right in the capitol of the state.
Almost looking like an old church or inn, 40 Steak & Seafood is a restaurant in Bismarck, North Dakota that you do not want to miss.
The entire restaurant is absolutely full of history, taking bits and pieces from old places and bring them together to form one awesome spot. Bricks from a historic hotel and stained glass from an old church are two examples, and their unique dining rooms all have historic North Dakotan themes to them.
Enough about the building - you're here for great seafood, after all! And 40 Steak & Seafood will not disappoint. Steaks are a big part of their menu, but throw a lobster tail on to the side and you've got the perfect combination.
You can definitely also get seafood as the main meal. This shrimp papperdelle is simply mouthwatering, and they have delicacies like scallops and ahi tuna as well.
The best meal here is definitely a combination of their surf and turf. The restaurant has been named one of the best steakhouses in the entire country, so you don't want to miss out on either.
Grab a handmade dessert after your meal and you'll be beyond satisfied. Even if some people would doubt seafood in North Dakota, 40 Steak & Seafood can easily prove them wrong.
40 Steak & Seafood is located at 1401 Interchange Avenue, Bismarck, North Dakota 58501. For information on reservations, their historic dining rooms, and a full menu, visit their website here.
