Taking after the nickname of the city it's from, Magic City Hoagies looks like a pretty typical, run of the mill sub and sandwich place from the outside. Despite its average appearance, the hoagies at this spot are anything but. The restaurant has consistently ranked as the top sandwich spot in the entire state, serving up massive hoagies, loaded subs, and even things like poutine.

Magic City Hoagies is located at 1515 24th Ave. SW, Minot, ND 58701.

The name of this bakehouse might throw you off a little bit, but the name comes from cowboy slang for donuts and has stuck ever since. Bearscat has by far some of the best donuts you'll ever try. You won't be able to go back to gas station or grocery store donuts ever again - they are just that good. They always have quite the variety of donuts available, but get there early as they sell out quick!

Bearscat is located at 1914 N 12th St., Bismarck, ND 58501.
