“ Love this place! This is a must if you go to or live in Grand Forks! The food is great and the portions are huge without breaking your wallet. I always get a grinder with taco meat when I go there. The taco meat is a must! It's a sub sandwich with lettuce and your choice of meat (plus the taco meat) with a mild white sauce and a spicy red sauce. The bread also kinda makes the sandwich. I've never found anything like it anywhere else and it's the stuff cravings are made of. ”
“ I'm pretty sure our server was high functioning autistic and I APPLAUD red pepper for being such an accepting place. Let alone he was absolutely awesome as our food prep. Kudos everyone ”
“ Great little spot here.. 8 for a foot long Grinder. It was actually enough for two meals, since we weren't super hungry. Beats the hell out of any fast food joint you could ever find. ”
“ If I could give a thousand stars for this place I would. I’m not previously from the Forks or Fargo area and moved here 6 months ago and I’d say I eat here at least once a week. Their ingredients and shells are so good and so fresh and I never get sick of it. My husband used to work here when he went to college and we both love this place. The employees are always so nice and the food is always so good. And it’s also super affordable compared to most places in this economy. I will continue to give Red Pepper my business for as long as I’m living in ND. ”
“ I love all the food here. The amount of cheese they put on their tacos isn't skimpy. Their grinders are awesome, and I like a plain cheese Toscana heated up to eat on the way home. ”
“ Decided to get lunch here the other day, it looks like this place would be a popular spot to soak up a few beers with the chili dogs and tacos and grinders. I had the everything grinder and it was pretty tasty with the taco meat, very interesting combo. Neat atmosphere and everyone was very friendly that I interacted with. ”
“ It was truly a blast from the past. Reminds me of late 80s going to school at UND. Cheese tostadas are to die for. ”
