My fiance and I found all the books we wanted and more! Its great because she likes to read and I get to watch her read the LOTR books. The store itself is great with a wide array of books and genres to fit any interests you may have. If you love books and have absolutely no impulse control, this is your place to be!

I really enjoy this store. I love their Lego selection, their game options, as well as the great variety of puzzles. And of course you cant help but love the large selection of books. My son was looking for a very specific book and the staff was extremely helpful in finding it. I also love the Starbucks Cafe with great drink and snack options. I really enjoy the entire experience and always look forward to going to the Barnes and Noble in Fargo.

Always an amazing store with unique finds. I go in to browse or get ONE THING, but I walk out with my arms full. Such a quiet and relaxing atmosphere. The Starbucks is wonderful. Everything is very well labeled and its easy to find things. Could not recommend this store more.

I love barnes and noble it reminds me of when I was a little girl going with my nana playing in the kids section while she read her book and sipped on coffee

I went into the store and I had no idea what I was looking for except I know which kinds of books my daughter likes and an employee recommended me some books and they were something that I had remember my daughter talking about so her suggestions were spot-on and she was nice and friendly the store was clean. For the extra couple dollars it costs to buy at a local bookstore versus Amazon oh, I will definitely come back to the bookstore just because theyre helpful and their suggestions are right in line with the kind of things my daughter likes to read. The world still needs brick-and-mortar bookstores and I am glad this one is still here.

Friendly and helpful staff, clean and quiet, and they have a cafe spot so you can drink coffee/tea while browsing or reading. Absolutely loved! Perfect spot to relax and check out books and new releases without being bothered while you decide if you want to purchase.

My 14 y.o. daughter and I love coming to B&N.We are homeschooling this year. Since I’m teaching her I was able to get a 20% discount educators card. This has saved me greatly. The staff is always helpful when needed. We love the discount section!

While looking at books in the childrens area, was asked if help was needed and she recommended a book. A gentleman from the Cafe was nice to offer a sample, I declined. The woman at the register was okay.

For a big book store they are very limited on alot of subjects. I was looking for some educational/ do it your self windmill electric systems and they had nothing and only 1 book on solar. The place is well kept and clean but that doesnt help my self education.

I ordered 5 books from Barnes & Noble & I am VERY dissatisfied with their shipping. I have been given several different confirmation dates on when things should have arrived & none have been accurate. I was supposed to receive 4 of my 6 items yesterday & nothing came. Now it says as far as I can tell on their tracking thing which is not updated at all 2 of them should possible arrive today & not a clue on when the others will get here. VERY UPSETTING!!!! I do not recommend ordering online from here at all!!!

Outside, front of store was very bland and unassuming. Didnt look like a Barnes & Noble, beyond the sign. Inside was very nice and organized/clean. Was very different layout to the previous locations I had been to.

Review №37

Have not had a good experience at this store for a while now something very strange going on. The hair on the back of my neck stands when I go inn and I feel like I am being followed while in there shopping. Overzealous security at the store possibly. Update: Spoke to corporate and the store manager and they are seriously looking into what is happening at this store to insure no one is in any danger. They are also going to try to carry more books in what I would like to buy.

Barnes & Noble in Fargo is awesome, kind and friendly, personally walked me to the section I was in search for. Fair prices and fast checkout. After the worst shopping experience ever in Bismark location last summer I almost did not inside. But glad I did and will shop the Fargo location again.

I cant begin to describe how great this location for Barnes and Nobles is. Our entire family shops here. I would give a 10+ if the rating scale went that high. Store associates are super helpful and courteous even during this awful pandemic. Selection is fantastic. Cant say how much better they could do this. Mandatory stop for us in the Fargo area!

This store does NOT EVEN carry top sellers. I find them At Target. So that pretty much tells u how bad the store is. Store Manager has limited knowledge on books and terrible attitude. Not my fav Barnes and Noble..

I’ve loved this store ever since I was a kid - I often told my mom I wanted to ‘live’ at the Fargo B&N 😂 Going to B&N brings me such a thrill of nostalgia and excitement. I haven’t been for a while given the pandemic, reduced hours etc. and Seth was super nice and courteous today at the checkout and I had a great experience as always. The staff are always very kind and willing to help you.

Review №89

It was an average experience until they start enforcing their house policy a little bit too aggressively by being too close to you too fast with way too many people around just simply ask you to put on a mask. Will not shop here again as there are other bookstores here that are not nearly as aggressive but still make the point.

Review №92

Its a very clean store and most of the shelves are perfectly ordered. A bit light on adult level books, a bit heavy on childrens books. One too many times Ive had to order out - now if I order online Id go through Amazon. I guess the prices are concurrent with the book sale market - they seem steep to me but not unreasonable. Very friendly (and not pushy) staff.

Review №93

I recently picked up a book there and they put a security tag on the page of my book. Not very happy when I spent some money on a book to get it damaged.

Its a good store, but their selection can be rather annoying at points, having a he first book of a series and then the fifth, nothing in-between.

Wide variety available. Can be a delayed wait at the info desk. Sad to see the chairs have been removed due to covid but its understandable. BUT they do have hand sanitizer available at the door so its there to use when you walk in and when you walk out!
