    Went there a few days ago. The food was amazing especially for the price. The staff was highly friendly! I love burgers and typically I'm picky were I go eat, but this has to be the top second burger I've had in Bismarck/Mandan!

    Scotty's is a wonderful place and a Bismarck, ND landmark. I used to visit daily for lunch back in the high school days. The prices have increased since then, but the quality, friendliness and quick service hasn't changed.

    Great burger and fries in a classic drive-in format. Great to find a local gem rather than patronize a big chain.

    I’ve have been a a Scotty’s customer since I was a young person, I am now 74 years old I had a double cheeseburger some time back with everything on it, it just didn’t seem right, tasted different 09-23-2025 just to see if it may have been the condiments I ordered a plain plain cheeseburger Oh my my goodness i was taken aback, it was horrible, they either microwave’d it or something it sure the hell wasn’t Scotty’s shame on you Please for goodness sake prepare burgers like I remember, the wife and I used to save up and take the kids for burgers when the children were young Shame on you - Is Scotty’s now cooking burgers in a different way it tasted like prepared or wasting a microwave A loyal/supportive customer for such a very long time. I still bring my family grandchildren and all I retracted my earlier posture was to harsh my apologies- I will visit with manager sometime I’m saddened in Bismarck ND CBM SO SADDENED
