Meriwether's Restaurant SignCaptain Meriwether’s Landing, mostly known simply as "Meriwether’s", was a local restaurant for nearly two decades located near the historic Port of Bismarck on the bank of the Missouri River. It began as an extremely casual restaurant, the type where you threw your used peanut shells onto the floor, but eventually changed formats to become an upper scale restaurant. It was noted for having an outdoor deck that overlooked the Missouri River.

Facing increasing financial difficulty, part of which as a result of several long-term road closures near the restaurant, Meriwether’s closed on September 5, 2009.

The restaurant was named to honor Captain Meriwether Lewis, who, along with his partner William Clark, spent the winter of 1804-1805 at a camp near present-day Washburn (about 35 miles north of Bismarck).
