“We had a late night dinner. Fabulous server!“

“Food is amazing and easy for us to get to. Our waitress was very friendly. We stopped there on a Saturday noon when everything was really busy downtown so we came here and got right in. Cheese burgers were amazing and a bowl of soup was really tasty on a cold day! Highly recommend this place!“

“I called tonight to complain about not getting the extra cheese I paid for and felt awful soon after... here I am complaining about extra cheese while all of the crew is working hard though covid and doing the best they can and sometimes overwhelmed! So I am sorry. You guys keep doing what your doing. I again apologize for calling in! The food is amazing without extra cheese and the service is always amazing!!“

“Still one of the best“

“AFP-SD recently hosted a Lunch and Learn event with Mayor Paul TenHaken at ROAM Kitchen, and everything was absolutely fantastic! The venue was beautiful, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the food was incredible. The staff went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly and that our guests felt taken care of. If you’re looking for a spot in Sioux Falls for an event—or even just a great meal—I can’t recommend ROAM Kitchen highly enough. They truly made our event a success!

“Went to Murph’s today for a couple of Philly’s. While I was waiting for my food, a couple was leaving and said it was the best Philly she’d ever had. She did not lie! Plus, they put a lot of napkins in the bag…you will need them! Another plus is the employees are extremely friendly. Great place! We will be going back!“

“One of my favorite fast-food chain in Midwest. I got Culver’s Deluxe burger and it was delicious. It is juicy and tastes fresh. Beef is tender. The fries are crispy. For this price it is very good deal. This restaurant itself is clean inside and staff is friendly. I always go to this restaurant whenever I’m in Sioux Falls. There is also lots of parking space which I appreciate.“

“Nice restaurant. Good food. Employees are very friendly and helpful. Their burgers and fries are so good ☆☆ NOT greasy. Custard ice cream is so good. Tables are clean. Parking lot big. When a person orders thru drive up they remember to put condiments & napkins in bag!“

“Everything about The Willows is absolutely delightful. I would highly recommend it to anyone!!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Stopped by for drinks and the Husker football game on the big screen. Decided to stay for dinner, which was outstanding. Sometimes a French dip can be lackluster, but not here. Meaty and delicious. So we’re the frites, mushrooms, risotto, and popper burger. The drinks were incredible too. An old fashioned, a mojito, and a local IPA. Next time we’re in town, we’ll definitely be coming back. Great food and service.“

“Love it“

“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.“

“Before leaving Sioux Falls to return home, I was serviced by an amazing employee. I believe her name was Elisibeth. I was having a bad time with delays, but her exceptional service and welcoming energy made my mood better. She even suggested places I should visit if I were to return. We need more employees like her! 👏“

“The Uncrustables packs with the PBJ, applesauce, apple juice, Goldfish, and string cheese were hits with our little kids, and the pork nachos were worth it for us parents. View of the falls is nice, and we very much appreciated the A/C on a hot day. They serve Stensland ice cream, which is delicious.“

“Every time I come to this Culver's, the food is excellent and the employees are super friendly. Management can be proud that they are doing it right! :)“

“Me and my man went here for the first time we loved it we have chicken fried steak and mashed potatoes and the salad bar was good and it was free and my boyfriend had some liver with mashed potatoes and gravy and he loved it and he had a beer and he said it was good the girl who helps us Jody w she rocks she needs a rise“

“I had the pleasure of dining at 22TEN Kitchen Cocktails last night, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. We had a reservation for 4 and were promptly seated at our scheduled time, which set the tone for a wonderful evening. The service was truly 5 stars. From the moment we sat down, our waters were brought out right away, and our drinks were exceptional. The food was absolutely delicious—each dish exceeded expectations. Our server, Stephanie, was amazing. She gave perfect recommendations, and everything she suggested was spot on. Her service was so attentive and personable; it's been a while since I've had a server that made such an impact. She was truly a gem! Highly recommend!“

“Granny’s Country Omelet … oh how I’ve missed you since the Council Bluffs location closed. Julio Jara is the best manager ever. The food today was delicious! The service was STELLAR. Chloe was friendly and attentive. The hostess greeted us with a warm smile and seated us . And the guy who checked us out (I neglected to get his name) was awesome too!! Give that boy some time off so he can go and explore the state he lives in!! 😂“

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

“We are regular customers and have always enjoyed the welcoming attitude of the staff. But on August 10 my husband passed out and fell to the floor unconscious. They immediately responded and offered whatever assistance we needed. We want to thank them all, especially Susan, the hostess.“

“Very pleasant experience. Great food and service. My Mom got a tuna burger with Cajun seasoning that was amazing. I had the San Francisco breakfast and really enjoyed that. Nice interior setting and patio setting on the river. Parking is a bit difficult to find.“

“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.“

“chicken tenders & cheese curds are the best! 😍“

“I've been following Gregg's Substation for quite a while on Facebook and FINALLY made the trip to Sioux Falls today to try it. Best cold sub I've ever had. Everything is so fresh and good!! I'm glad I was smart enough to get a big sandwich so I could have it twice. I definitely recommend 100% and I'll definitely be back whenever I get back to Sioux Falls!! Great job!“

“Excellent place to spend an evening, good food at reasonable prices, great bartenders and servers who actually give a crap, and an unbeatable music playlist!“

“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!“

“Very beautiful place , highly recommend ( the best parties in town .“

“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!!!!“

“As soon as we walked in, not only were we greeted personally, but they showed concern for our recent absence. Once explained, they took us to our usual booth so that I could park my mobility scooter without interfering with anyone else. When it was time for us to place our order, she knew exactly what I wanted and exactly how it was supposed to be made. She also took it upon herself to go into the kitchen to make sure that was being made properly as I can't have the sandwich with a crispy coating. that is obviously above and beyond. This is obviously the way we are treated every time we come into the restaurant, as they are happy to see us again and of course serve us again. Needless to say, our food came out perfectly, and was very much enjoyed. Kudos to all as usual. ...Arthur

“We opted for boxed lunches for our work meeting, and it was truly fantastic! The sandwiches boasted generous slices of meat, and the variety of buns and bread couldn't have been better. The cookies were a unanimous hit, thick and bursting with flavor!Having arranged for delivery, I was pleased to find them arriving slightly ahead of schedule, which worked out perfectly. I wholeheartedly recommend them for your next catering occasion!“

“Always a great experience. You should put in TouchTunes though.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“My husband and boys went to this restaurant to eat last week. They loved the food and had a great time. I noticed that they got charged a kid’s meal on a day when a child eats free per paying adult. I called the manager and he was very understanding and refunded us a meal.“

“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.“

“I haveca friend who is a waitress there and everytime we come in she comes and helps use with our order. She brings our food and drink with a big smile and ask how things are twice. Refilled our water, took our plates brought our desserts ? asked again if she could help“

“While on the smaller side, it has a great atmosphere and location. We've met friends here on several occasions, the service has always been good and the atmosphere is a nice change of pace. This feels like a downtown, urban bar, without feeling like just another bar. They have a great beer selection, asking with wine and food.“

“Our server was incredibly sweet and helpful. Our drinks were great but we did have a couple hiccups with our food. There were five of us and four of us were given our correct food. The fifth was originally brought the mushroom risotto when she had ordered the flatbread. (I had ordered the risotto and that'll come up in a moment too.) Our server went to making to mistake right straight away. She came back a few minutes later letting my grandmother know that the kitchen burned the new flatbread and it'd be a few more minutes. She also brought her truffle fries on the house. The flatbread came out. It was delicious and comped. Mistakes happen and we're a family that have all been servers at some point so this didn't put a damper on our evening. In fact, how our server handled it was fantastic. The other three members of our party throughly enjoyed their food. I however, took a bite of my undercooked risotto and pulled about a four inch long hair out of my mouth. I even got a box so I wouldn't have to explain why I had so much left. I didn't tell our server because I didn't want to bring another issue to her. I'm super midwestern I guess. That's on me for not saying anything, I'm sure she would've addressed that as well. We had amazing desserts before heading out. All in all, it was a great time and we'll keep coming back.“
