Review: A Trade-Off Worth Making
Rating: \star\star\star\star (4/5 stars)
If you are looking for lightning-fast, grab-and-go convenience where a bag is shoved through a window in 60 seconds, Culver’s will test your patience. But if you care about the actual quality of your meal, the wait is usually defensible.
The Bad: The Wait Time
True to form, the service on this visit was undeniably slow. Whether you're stuck idling in the drive-thru or waiting inside, the pace can feel sluggish. Because everything is cooked fresh to order rather than sitting under a heat lamp, bottlenecks happen fast—especially during peak hours. If you are in a rush, a stop here can easily throw off your schedule.
The Good: Execution and Accuracy
Fortunately, the food itself more than made up for the delay. Everything tasted hot, fresh, and high-quality.
Even better, kitchen accuracy was spot-on: putting the bun on the side was handled exactly as requested without any fuss. Too often, custom requests get ignored or confused in the kitchen chaos, but getting it right ensures the bun stays crisp and everything is customized to preference.
Final Verdict
Slow service is the inevitable tax you pay for a meal that isn't pre-packaged institutional fast food. When the quality is high and the kitchen actually reads the special instructions correctly, it's a frustrating wait that turns into a satisfying meal.“

“Still one of the best“

“Stopped by to grab some food and got the grand combo with salad bar. Server explained they were out of onion rings and explained they would be replaced with french fries which no biggie. I definitely got full of it and salad bar. Server was amazing and made sure everything was great and even the manager stopped by to make sure all was good. Had I not been full I would have got that piece of carrot cake she suggested. It was nice to see all the staff smiling and so upbeat, you can tell they love their job! Will definitely be back and bring friends.“

“The food is ALWAYS delicious! Today I used the online ordering for the first time - that was super easy and fast!! So glad you are in my neighborhood!“

“Great food and a welcoming atmosphere. All the servers are very attentive and friendly. We love the place!“

“The best of the best , Beautiful place“

“What a great family restaurant. They serve breakfast all day and did not disappoint! The service at lunch time was a little slow but the food was so perfect it didn’t matter. The hash browns were perfectly cooked and the french toast was delightful. We’d eat here again in a second.“

“Food and service are fantastic at Red Stone Pizza Co. in the Sioux Falls Airport. They have a variety of local craft beers which are great to sample. This is the perfect atmosphere to hang out in while waiting for your flight! - Great work Red Stone Pizza!“

“We are about to fly back home and stopped at the downstairs sky dine and our waitress Katie was the kindest, most attentive waitress I’ve had anywhere in a long time. Felt like talking to an old friend, she’s really great at her job. Thanks for listening Katie - C Aguilera“

“Marlins.. the other day I had a soup the is 6 stars! 5 is not enough!!! The mgr suggested and she made the soup, it is the best cheese and potato and bacon I’ve ever had! It’s been months since I have had 6 stars soup! Thank you . The food hospitality and atmosphere is top! And you can never get a bad meal or experience there! Highly suggest everyone got to marlins!!!! Promise that’s the place to bring family and friends!!!!“

“The wait staff and cooks are great but the manager or hoestes whatever she is sat down at a table and talked to the people and did nothing to help her staff.“

“Server was very helpful when I couldn't get their rewards downloaded on my phone he gave me a tablet and help me is very kind. Manage your stop by a couple of times checked on us checked how the food was how the service was great place“

“We traveled here from Iowa. Great food, very clean and bright. Staff was very friendly.“

“I have been going to Tinners ever since they opened. The last couple time have been a real disappointment. I hope they get it together soon. I’m NOT ready to give up on them. I’ll give it one more shot.“

“My family of 4 went here in order to be by the falls and have lunch at the same time. It is incredibly casual, which is what we were looking for. My husband enjoyed his pepperoni flatbread and my boys liked their hotdogs. Since the kid's meals are served with apple juice and apple sauce, they left hungry. It would be nice to be able to substitute chips for the applesauce. I had the cheeseburger, which was very dense. It looked good, but I wouldn't have it again. The day was sunny and only one table was in the shade. The restaurant had a bunch of umbrellas leaning by the doors. It would have been nice to have them set-up so more people could enjoy being outside while they eat and can be shaded.“

“Definitely a sports bar type of atmosphere. The food was great. I got the chislic and it was good, though I wish there was a little more of it. Didn't have to wait too long for our food and our waitress was very nice. Tons of tvs with sports playing on all of them. We went on a Saturday.“

“We stopped for the first time at Monk's Ale House 8/4 and if we were in Sioux Falls longer we would have gone back again. The service was excellent (can't remember his name...Kros Strain shirt that day) but he was so helpful. Knew a lot about the beer on tap and made great recommendations. We didn't eat so I can't review the food. From the looks of the inside it would be a fun place to be on a busy weekend. Lots of room and so many neat wall signs. Next time in Sioux Falls we'll likely stop here first!“

“The brisket sandwich was amazing! definitely need to add to the menu. Not a bad thing on the menu!!!!“

“Great food, affordable drinks, lottery, pool table, dart machines, what else do you need?“

“My wife, son, and I came in for supper last night. It was a welcoming environment, clean establishment, with great customer service. We were greeted by many staff members before we could even get up to put our name in for a table! Awesome! We ordered the spinach artichoke dip which was absolutely fantastic! Then my wife and I got the Blueberry Bison Burger and the Tandoori Melt! Holy cow were these both amazing!! We were in town for a doctors appt and were recommended to this place. Needless to say, we will definitely be coming back whenever we are in Sioux Falls!“

“Love the menu. Adore the staff. Nuff said!“

“Great entertainment!!! Wonderful Manhattans!“

“Food was great. Nothing to write home about, after all it's Applebee's, but still great. Staff took half an hour to serve us our drinks. Turns out they forgot about our entire table. Plus ordering anything on the tablets at the table never works. Tried multiple times and they never bring it out. Place is chill though. Nice place to just hang out and get some good food.“

“We arrived with some dietary requirements that were off menu, and the bartender was so sweet and kind and accommodating.
We sat at a lovely sunny table outside and the executive chef came out to meet us and asked great questions to really understand our preferences and suggested to make a dish from scratch for us. When the dish was delivered it was AMAZING and really felt like it was made by someone who understands flavor and dietary restrictions at the same time. The dish was delicious and creative and looked and tasted so great. We appreciate the attention and understanding and the good food ❤“

“🍺😀👍Lots of fun!!“

“Vanessa, our server, made our experience very nice & fun! We’ll be back for sure! Food was great, great atmosphere, love the eclectic vibe.“

“This was a very nice Cafe inside the holiday hotel. Loved that you get free breakfast for 2 adults and kids eat free if you stay at the hotel. The food was very good, and we were very pleased. We had the free breakfast and dinner there, and we're happy with all our choices. We definitely would recommend it.“

“Awesome specials and chill atmosphere. Darts, pool table, two casinos, dining, nice big bar area with wall to wall tv’s.“

“love the atmosphere, some of the best chicken in sf“

“Wonderful cafe inside the Washington Pavilion. We were there for lunch. Delicious sandwiches and a soup & salad bar. Very friendly, accommodating staff. Highly recommend ?

Kid-friendliness: My wife and I brought 5 kids there about a half hour before closing time. The staff was great!“

“I've had a couple day old buns, and they're still good. They reheat very well and taste good. My only gripe is that I feel like they have a little less frosting compared to other Cinnabon's I've been too. Otherwise it's awesome that we have one here run out of a truck-stop.“

“I went down for a quick bit to eat and a couple drinks. Staff was friendly and attentive food was pretty good bar food. I preferred the cheese curds and shrimp tocos. Cheese curds were ok but would be better with marinara sauce, they only had ranch. The tacos were good but messy, be aware lol. Not bad for a hotel bar/restaurant“

“Best burgers around, props to Chef Paul,such a great artist, those burgers were delicious, super great amazing awesome service, really nice pool tables, and an amazing chill atmosphere with tons of flat screen tvs and slots machines.

“What a dinner. Nat was an exceptional waiter and made our meal all the more special. Its a perfect blend of upscale and casual. Outdoor dining on a patio overlooking the water. Vast drink menu for both alcohol and non. We had the Chicken Stir fry, Tuna Poke Bowl, and shared a Cancun roll as well as the Tiramisu. We will absolutely be back. A perfect stop before an evening concert!“

“Great food, great server named John Michael. Great atmosphere and the prices are reasonable“

“Special Thank you to The Keg Chicken on catering our daughter’s wedding meal last Saturday night. The challenge of losing your entire truck order due to the flooding the day before before our 300 person wedding cater job had to be very stressful. The Keg did everything in their power with the help of the community to fullfill our cater job. The food was excellent and you pulled it off without a flaw! We highly recommend to anyone who needs catering .“
