32 Best American Restaurants in Sioux City

“The service was great and the food was Delicious 😋“

“My boss (my Dad) and I have lunch here frequently. Food is good, easy going atmosphere, fair pricing and the service is excellent! We typically end up with the same waitress who is friendly, keeps our pops full and seems to be in no rush to get us out the door. Much appreciated!! Thanks!“

“This is the best place to get a Philly. We both got the create your own Phillies with steak and they were fabulous. The fries were “seasoned to perfection” (as my fiance said). The fries are like Arby’s curly fries, but straight. The service was on point as well. We think this is a hidden gem of the siouxland area!“

“This Culver’s that is the south location in the area is the closest to my house and in the Sergeant Bluff-Luton school district. Always nice to go buy take-home pints of ice cream like you do in a convenience store. And this one is very popular with DoorDash deliveries.“

“chili dogs are the best in town“

“Soho is probably my favorite restaraunt downtown, whether it’s for lunch or dinner. I get something different every time I come and have yet to try something I didn’t like.

Recently stopped for a business lunch with an out of town partner. The four of us were quickly seated, service was great, and we received our drinks and food quickly. Everyone loved their meal and the atmosphere, and it was their first time at this establishment.

I ordered the Rueben and it’s one of the best I’ve ever had. I ALWAYS order sweet potato fries with my meal becuase they are freaking bomb.“

“We love going here! It's one of our favorite places to dine!“

“Went through the drive thru. Always pleasant staff. A bit more expensive than other fast food, however, Culver's is on the higher end of fast food. I expect to wait around 10 to 15 minutes after ordering, and they will tell you this. The food is EXCELLENT! I will continue to return to Culver's without hesitation.“

“Had chicken, broasted potatoes, and cheese balls, delicious as always. thanks Sneakys crew“

“Absolutely one of the best greek experiences I've had and I've tried several!! everything was delicious everything was fresh and to us so fast its ridiculous that other places make you wait we ordered and had our food piping hot within 3 minutes of ordering staff was extremely friendly and the gyro and fries were phenomenal the baklava cheesecake was delicious 10/10 would eat here again if ypu are looking for a family friendly great experience please stop in“

“Took my grandson for breakeakfeast 40.00 was the bill then u had to chose how to pay card or cash never seeen any thing about until u pay way to much money will never go back“

“Service is friendly and fast.. food portions are generous and tasty, great breakfast option vs the traditional flare. Loved our first experience and will be back! 👍🏻💯“

“I used to love this Perkins but the last two times I haven't even been able to finish my meal because it had been way too salty. I tried to get some of the salt off my fries before eating them but it didn't help. i couldn't do anything about my burger being too salty. Sad because this particular Perkins has always been so good.“

“I stayed in the Hotel next door. The resturant provided the buffet breakfast. The bacon was under cooked the first morning but they fixed the problem by day 2. The resturant was very good but by far the best thing was the service provided by Sidney. She was friendly, efficient and very professional. I recomend this place to anyone who appreciates good service“

“Stepping into the Diving Elk, you feel sophisticated. This gem is one of Sioux City's best as far as restaurants and bars go in the area with an evolving, seasonal menu that will make you want to try something new every time you visit! Don't sleep on the classics like the truffle fries and brussel sprouts though, there's a reason those always stay. Also try out their weekend specials! After your visit, you'll know why this place consistently has a "Siouxland's Best Bar Tender" nominee. They are experts in their craft with an incredible selection of cocktails and craft beers. Sioux City is lucky to have such a trendy, vibrant spot for the foodies out here.“

“We had lunch today and the service and quality of food was excellent. I wish I would have gotten the waitresses name, but she was such a nice young lady. We enjoyed our visit today.“

“Best in Sioux City, prices are a little steep and no Veteran or any other discounts.“

“The staff at this location are fantastic each and every time I come. Always so impressed by their kindness and professionalism. Only qualm is I wish they'd freshen up the menu. I'm always keen on a limited menu but the current options just leave something to be desired. The food is good, but I wish I felt it was great.“

“Always love going to Bob Roe’s when I have the opportunity. The wings and pizza are some of the best I’ve ever had.The pizza always has a good bake on it with crisp, slightly charred pepperoni.There are a few former Sioux Citians that I know that hit one of them every time they are back. I would recommend this place to anybody.“

“My husband, child & I had never been to Opa Time. We moved here in Summer of 2020. I heard the “devastating” outcry from the public when the fire happened & how they wanted it back and they’d miss it and everything so forth. I thought it was horrible that it happened for the owners & hoped they had insurance. Come to the re-opening I hear about people wrapped around the building & how they don’t have a big enough parking lot & how it was blocking off traffic because so many people wanted to go to opa time to try their food. I thought hmm this much be some good stuff. I better wait until the hype settles and give them a shot. Brings me to tonight when we went in at just the right time. Not a sole was in the restaurant. No drive thru, nothing. We got our food brought out to us by a very nice man. It was probably the best fast food establishment I’ve seen in my life. And I think Jim’s burger is pretty great on Pierce. It suddenly got so busy and in the rain the man went out to get someone’s order so it would be ready by the time they got to the window. Talk about top notch service. Five stars isn’t enough!!! We will be back & with TIP money next time because they deserve it.“

“Jaci was our waitress tonight and she was such a sweetheart. Very personable and attentive to our needs. Food was amazing as always :)“

“Just had the most delicious hamburger here. The food was so good. Place was very clean and Halloween decorations added a festive vibe. Server was very friendly and bathrooms were very clean. I HIGHLY recommend. Today was the best burger I've had in a long time!!“

“Found this place by simply using Uncle Google. Being a bar food regular this place was on the upper tear. Service was quick and friendly. Beers were frosty. Bar seating was full with regulars which isnt common, in my experience, especially when there was seemed to be about 20 seats. Relaxed atmosphere plenty of TVs with various sports/shows to watch. Had multiple people make sure I was taken care of throughout my meal. Going to my go to locally owned spot when I'm in the area. Jill also let me know they had plenty of good food options ontop of my regular wing and fry order. Even offered to make sure she would throw out suggestions on future visits.“

“My first time there with family. We all enjoyed our meals would not hesitate to go again.“

“Excellent service, friendly and food was delicious“

“I just want to shout out the staff. The girl that helped us was so friendly, but more than that, she took care of us the entire time we were there. She went out of her way to make sure we were good. In this day and age you really dont see the kind of customer service she gave. I think her name was Katrina. Im not sure. It was Saturday 8/30/24 at about 7pm. I was so impressed. She was great.“

“This is me and my husband’s first choice for a quality restaurant when eating out. The food and service has always been amazing! I haven’t found friendlier waitresses and prompter service anywhere else! To me, they’re a five star restaurant! ?“

“Drove all the way from Sioux Falls, SD to get Old Chicago. We had Jahni as our server. She was prompt, friendly, talkative. Our food was excellent. A tad sad they didn’t have spicy marinara, but above all great. Would recommend to anyone, and above all our service was excellent. Will definitely make the over an hour drive again for Old Chicago!“

“This Applebees rocks, customer service is prompt and perfect. I was asked if someone helped me 3 times within 2 minutes while waiting for a pickup order. The food always looks like the pictures. Love this place and will continue to go here!“

“Went with mom for dinner last week. We were greeted immediately by the host and sat at booth in the bar area. Our server was nice (sorry I can’t remember her name), prompt, explained the kiosk thing on the table that you pay the bill with and can sign up for rewards with (as an ex-server I appreciated her smooth but not pushy pitch), and checked on us throughout our stay. Mom got the whiskey bbq burger with onion rings which looked delicious. Since I’m watching my calories and sodium (sign I’m getting old lol) I choose the avo-Cobb-o salad with balsamic vinegar dressing which came on the side. The menu listed calories for each item which was handy (dressing not included). I asked for a small thing of bleu cheese dressing when ordering just in case since that’s what I’d normally order with this kind of salad, but wound up not needing it. My salad was big and delicious! Mom really liked her order too. We sat awhile after eating just catching up and our server checked on us to make sure we had enough water to drink. Not gonna lie I sometimes used to use that line to gently get ppl out the door lol but it didn’t seem to be the case here. It took a bit to figure out how to use our gift card which was our own fault though and left a few extra bucks than what we originally put on the table for our server since we sat there longer than we anticipated.
