Everything about this experience was WONDERFUL, from the service, to the food, and from the atmosphere, to the prices. I just can't say enough about Marlin's, it has a lot of bang for your buck. I wish I had taken a picture of those baby back ribs ???

If you're passing through Sioux Falls, skip the chain restaurants and go here. They've got a pretty broad menu. The atmosphere has the intention of a 70s style take out with some scattered memorabilia. I got chicken fingers there and it was actual real chicken, that doesn't happen very often. Service was excellent. It's a sit down restaurant though, so don't expect the food to come out as fast as a drive through, that is to be expected. It was great, and I would definitely go again.

Great food & amazing service!

Stopped for early supper. My date had a hot beef sandwich with mashed potatoes but very small portion. I had over fried fish fillet had no taste and so dried out I could not eat it, tater tots and very burned toast. Meal cost $28 and I will never eat there again for it was a huge waste of money.

Nice little restaurant. Server Bill was super friendly and funny. Enjoyed his bantering immensely, lots of laughs. Good food too.

The address on our receipt was 47056 271st Street in Sioux Falls. Not sure this is the right place, but presume they are related if not. We stopped for lunch; lots of cars in the parking lot. Seated quickly, service was quick. Husband was going to have fish and chips, didn't have the fish. We both ended up with a Mushroom Swiss burger and fries. Came out of the kitchen pretty quickly. Burger was over cooked to our liking, didn't ask for a cooking temperature. Fries good. Husband had onion rings, said they were also good. We had cookies to go for dessert/snack later on the road. Very good. Pretty comparable prices to a chain restaurant.

Our server was so cheerful so personable and just awesome in general! Katie, you did an amazing job, not just us, but the others too. I could here you helping other customers as we are. You were helpful to me when I was unable to make a decision on what to eat.You had a rough start to your day due to time change, but you grew past that! You are a rockstar girl, and very good at what you do.The other servers...I could hear them too, they were great.Marlins you have a great team in Sundays!The food was delicious!!!! And cooked to perfection.

Do not miss this great spot! Great location, great food & great service! This a local owned diner chain that does amazing food. The cinnamon rolls are as big as plate, we didn't have one but they looked wonderful. Pies oh my gosh, apple, pumpkin, pecan & berry!We had breakfast the place was packed with people. I hade the hamburger steak & eggs which came with hash browns & pancakes. There was enough fir four people! The serving sizes are ginormous so I would suggest to share orders.The decor is old Americana and you're made to feel right at home.The offer breakfast, lunch & dinner. The prices are very reasonable so if you're in a budget and want to share this place is a bargain.Truly a family style restaurant and I highly recommend.
