A friendly place to stop and have lunch, especially if you're on a schedule, as they are definitely catering to the working crowd.  Nothing pretentious about it, this place is a straight-forward sandwich shop with good ingredients, nicely crafted sandwiches, and reasonable prices.  I can definitely recommend the Cuban sandwich and any soup.  If you're getting something with mayonnaise, consider yourself warned that it will come with a lot of it.

With regards to where it is; you might miss it tucked in back of the industrial park, but just go around to the left and you'll find it on the back corner.

First day seems to be quite a success.  They did a nice job modifying the Oasis into a tacqueria.  Food was tasty!  We can stand behind the tongue taco.

This shop is full of delicious shelves of chocolate.  The ice cream counter in the back is easy to miss, but worth seeking out if you're in Williston with a craving for some sweet and fancy snack.  My shake cost more than my lunch, but it was made with care and tasted outstanding (wish I wasn't alone as it was big enough to share, for sure.)

Best pizza in town (I would say for Williston and surrounding area) from what I've tasted.  It isn't cheap, but I'd say it is priced appropriately as you get petty awesome taste for it.  Nice thin & crunchy crust, flavorful toppings, and pretty quick service.

Dobra Tea

Awesome stop for tea and snacks.  It brings me back to every trip I've taken.  The chai reminds me so closely of the streets of Calcutta, the mint tea of the markets of Marrakech, the black rea of the tea houses in Krakow and St. Petersburg.  They somehow just do everything tea-related in the right and proper way.  Can't really explain how, but it is worth it to me to bring those memories back and mix then with new ones at Dobra.  I can definitely recommend the biscuits and cookies strongly to go with your tea of choice.

Tasty and well done independent coffee house.  I think if I were a coffee drinker I'd get even more out of it, but for me the teas and fancy barista drinks are certainly enough for 4 stars, at least.

Went well for their first day open.  Food was exactly like Panera I've had elsewhere.  Service was very friendly.  I expect the store to be a nice addition to downtown (and I suspect it will only improve on the operations side as things get less new.)  Seems like they pulled together a great team.

Junior's Downtown  

Categories: Pizza, Italian

Got delivery from Junior's and it did not live up to the good things I'd heard.  The pizza seemed undercooked, the dough was simply not done and not even really browned.  On top of that, it was really really greasy (a distinct puddle of grease sitting on top of our pizza) which is a bit disconcerting since the cheese wasn't entirely melted.

Given that it was a $20 pizza after delivery (and not a fancy one, we got pepperoni), I was extraordinarily disappointed.  Possibly the only time I've thrown away pizza leftovers.  

If there weren't so many other options, I would give Junior's another chance.  I'm sure they make great stuff when they're on their game.  Unfortunately, in this market, I just have too many great options to risk throwing away another $20 on that chance.

Just stopped here for a beer as I've run into them at local beer festivals but never really spent time in the area.  I had a collaboration between CBC, Victory and Stone and it was delicious.  For a second round we had dry-hopped porter served off the cask, which was outstanding.  I will definitely be heading back.

I've been to the oak bar several times and consider it a lovely stop for a classy beer in town.  I recently ate in the dining room for the first time had a great time.  We had three courses of delicious everything, and the chateaubriand might be the best steak I've ever tasted.  Setting, service, and food are all top notch.  I would give it a fifth star if it were a bit more hip, but I think 4 for the classic and classy is the least it deserves.  I would probably go 4.5 if it were an option.
