went here while visiting family in the area. food was great, atmosphere is great, and our waitress was fantastic!

Absolutely the worst experience I’ve ever had a any dining establishment in the Sioux Falls area! Food has generally been ok. But the service tonight was horrible! Nothing short of rude! All employees could not wait to get everyone out of the establishment! Putting up chairs everywhere while people were trying to eat. Would not serve you a beverage unless it was water or pop because it was 9:58 pm and they close at 10:00 pm. Even though our food shows up at 9:58 pm. Actually had a to go container thrown at me was told to take it and leave. Would not recommend this establishment whatsoever!!!

Arrived at 935pm to have a bite to eat, was not acknowledged until 940pm by the bartender, at that time he advised kitchen closes at 945pm an the bar closes at 10pm. We quickly ordered drinks along with a flatbread…the pizza came out at 955pm by the manager and at that time I ordered another beverage (which she didn’t get an blew me off) The bartender then came by while doing other things and I again asked for another beverage ….which at that time was advised we could NOT have another drink with our meal ( mind you this is all prior to 10pm) We had not had even a bite of our food yet , when asked again for a drink the bartender threw a to-go container at us and we were told to take the food and leave and wanted to argue about what we were told. I advised we wer. e told kitchen closes at 845 and bar closes at 10, also note that our bill was given to us to pay prior to our food even being received ! This was the most worst experience I’ve ever had in the food industry in my complete life!!! This place is needs to have new management along with bartender, coming for the industry myself of over 10 yrs, it should never ever happen!!! If I was the owner of this place I’d be sooo embarrassed and doing some replacing of staff! !!! The word of mouth is the best advertisement so trust me I’ll be doing some advertising immediately!!!!!!! And looks like the bartender and manager has had some horrible reviews!!!!

Here for a work trip. Stopped in for a beer and some wings. The wings were hard. But I think it was probably just a one time issue. Didn’t mention anything to anybody. The flavor was good. The staff here is very friendly. Good beer. I’m from Texas so it’s nice to try local beer from this state and they do have local beer. I was super happy to find they have Shiner from my home state. Not a ton of places do. I will say this though… the guy with dreads who worked here was in the bathroom while I was and he saw me and never washed his hands. He didn’t seat me either and just told a door dash driver he doesn’t know what to do. The servers and bartender were seating people as he let people walk out the door. Never even greeted me. May want to look for another guy to hire in his place.***Update***The cheese curds are badass and the bartender Nick is great. Should out to the guys in the back of the house. Y’all do great. Will be back within the next day or so for more.

Will not be coming back. Went for the first time with a large group to watch a UFC fight. It's a public restaurant that no where says kids aren't allowed. They were being kids, but not once did they get near or do anything to any customers, other than "interrupt" their meal/night according to a couple sitting at the bar threatening to hit our children among other things. The bartenders kept giving us dirty looks as well. When a customer flips off an entire party and yells across the restaurant and nothing is done, something is wrong. Only good thing from that night was our server, he handled the whole thing awesome for being overwhelmed. Kudos to him and he wasn't even 21!

The service wasn't bad but the prices are ridiculous. I order a bacon cheeseburger and got cheese curds for a side and an extra patty on my burger.This 14.00 burger turned into a 30.00 burger. 6.00 for an extra patty is insane and then an extra 5.50 charge for cheese curds. I can see an upcharge but 5.50 for what few I got is just crazy.

We stopped in before and really enjoyed it, so we decided to stop again. We arrived just before 5 pm last night. My husband and I know that finding anything without a wait on a Saturday night is rare, but we were seated right away. Our waiter was very nice and the appetizer was good but that's all. My husband ordered the Cajun Sautee...it tasted like beef stew with rice in it. It also tasted like a heat and eat meal, not one you would expect from a restaurant whonis supposed to make their own food. I'm not sure if it was supposed to be spicy, but I guess to me, the word Cajun insinuates spice......this was not spicy either. I ordered the Cajun Steak Alfredo, our waiter asked how I wanted my steak, and I told him medium rare. The steak in my meal was so thin; there was really no other way to cook it besides well done. We both ordered Bloody Mary's, and neither tasted like they had alcohol in them. The second round was the same for my husband butane tasted like it had enough for 2 drinks. It was definitely not worth the $77. We can take our 3 kids with us next time and eat at Texas Roadhouse for just over $100.

We ate lunch there on a Monday. Our server, Billy Jo, was excellent, attentive and fast. The Monday special is 1/2 price burgers with the purchase of a beverage. We each ordered a different burger and both were delicious. There was a big lunch crowd because their food is delicious.

So this is average bar food, good but not great. Prices are ok for the amount of food you get. My walleye nugets were way over cooked, fries were under cooked. The staff was less than attentive but friendly. Really I would have liked to given a 3.5

Big selection if beers including local breweries. Cheese balls are to die for. Entree portions are big. 3rd visit here for us. We'll be back.
