At The Starving Rooster, we believe in quality ingredients, being true to who you are, standing by what you believe in, and respecting all people.
Our restaurant, originally built in 1919 for the Altman and Taylor Tractor Company, was built on quality and pride in the things you make. The company used the “starving rooster” logo as its brand moniker. As legend has it, the Altman Taylor Company made a threshing machine of the highest quality that didn’t leave a speck of grain behind. As a result, the roosters had nothing to eat.
Well, we will make sure you don’t go hungry, but we do like the idea of taking pride in what we do and make. As a part of that philosophy, we also have great respect for the historical nature of the building and have repurposed nearly all of the materials that were taken out of the original structure and have used them to build tables, booths, and other design elements seen throughout the restaurant.
We also greatly respect our farming culture and are very proud to say that our fathers/mothers or grandfathers/grandmothers spent most of their lives making a living off our great North Dakota land. Out of respect for all of these things, we give you “The Starving Rooster,” a place as local as the land itself.
