“I was at Chef Lance yesterday, I was unable to eat my whole meal. I just reheated the BBQ pork and grits. This food was just as good today as it was the day before. THANK YOU !! Barb“

“In town for the day from Nashville and wanted something local, non chain, and found this wonderful place. Outdoor dining for breakfast is great with a fountain nearby. Great service and my Sunrise waffle with fresh fruit was amazing!“

“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!!“

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

“This place is clean, new, has enough TVs to watch all the games and a huge kist of drink options. The bone-in wings are excellent get those! Our server was great, fast thorough, had great recomendations. The Mac n cheese was very good. The rest of the food was good but the chicken in the aloha sandwich was only ok. The Chilli had too much cumin for me. The buffalo wrap seemed a bit too salty/saucy. The fries were crispy and very good.“

“If you buy something and have dogs with you they will give you a little treat for them. Not too many places do this anymore. They have a great grilled chicken sandwich, and a strawberry salad also with grilled chicken which are great options for a healthier meal. Their coolers are a great treat as well and are a lower calorie option if you can resist buying their delicious custard. They also do a great job with order taking and customer service every time. Hands down a great option if I am out and about and will keep going back!“

“Best chicken 🐓 I ever had, the buffalo wings 😋 are the best most favorite!“

“We ate here tonight and you guys were hustling. It got busy but you handled the rush like pros. It was fun to watch! We asked for the bread pudding desert (I’ve never tasted anything like it—so good) to come out after our meal—even during the rush you didn’t forget! You get a 100% from our group!“

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

“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!! 😂“

“The loaded potatoes and house salad delicious. Sweet waitress, good service. Love lunch specials. Wish you'd put a Cracker Barrel in Sioux City so we didn't have to drive at least 90 miles to go to one. Love your gift shop! Have many things I have bought for me, my husband, and others since I found you in 1991! Your reward program outstanding. Love how you celebrate birthdays and our 49th anniversary this year. God bless Chris Lowe Sioux City Iowa“

“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.“

“We had a very large group with adults and kids. The restaurant was clean, the food was amazing, it was very affordable and the staff was super friendly and attentive. Definitely a favorite place for our family to eat and we can't wait to go back!“

The chizlik with the habanero sauce is fantastic. Great cocktails, steaks cooked to perfection and I always enjoy the pallete cleanser!

Great views out the window and from the patio.

Can't wait to return!“

“I love Culver's! I would have given a 5 star rating but the last time I went thru forgot my son's cheese curds. Quite expensive forgotten item. They immediately offered to send me a full meal coupon in the mail so I appreciate them being accountable and having fantastic customer service in a difficult situation. Thanks!“

“Love it“

“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! :)“

“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!“

“We celebrated a friend's birthday at Jack Rose Social Club and had an amazing time! Despite the last-minute reservation for 10, the service was excellent—friendly and attentive. The food was fantastic, and the drinks were top-notch. A perfect spot for a memorable celebration. Highly recommend!“

“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!“

“I mean food in an airport is always expensive and usually not worth it, but you have to eat right? Marlin’s Express is opposite of what you think of airport restaurants. The food is reasonably priced as any place outside of an airport, hearty, delicious, and always quick to get out to you which is important when you have a flight to catch.“

“Extremely friendly and awesome staff. Arrived here at 8AM and got served right away with a good Bloody Mary and some beers before our flight. This place got SO busy right at 9AM, just a heads up! Seemed like they were keeping up great though!“

“A MUST if you need an event space for a family gathering.

My wife and I hosted a wedding reception here last weekend and planned everything through email with Tina as we live out of state. The people did an incredible job with being flexible, cost effective, and so so so accommodating to our hopes for the event, from coordinating with local florists to match photos of my wifes bouquet for centerpieces to being directly in contact with our catering service. The space and service for our 100ish guests was outstanding with so many people relaying how incredible the event felt to them.

I rarely will leave reviews but this was such an easy experience for us in terms of planning/execution and with the degree of positivity we received from our guests, I knew I needed to say something.

A very big thank you from my wife and myself. Please consider this for your next event! (Or just a tasty, beautiful background to your Sioux Falls excursion)“

“Server was cool, fast, and got our order right 100 %

Food was fast, hot, and delicious.

It's not super cheap but it's not uncharacteristically expensive either. It's a kind of, get what you pay for meal. Completely worth it.“

“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 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!“

“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!“

“10/10 best chislic and the ranch is amazing“

“Great pizza, we are here on vacation from Michigan. Sage was a great server, super friendly, nice to talk to and was on top of our needs and requests“

“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.“

“We just had two pieces of Layered Chocolate Cake at the Attic West. Huge and unbelievably delicious. Couldn't finish it because we were full of chocolate happiness! Highly recommend!“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“The best of the best. extremely recommended“

“Beer and cider were delicious. I recommend Blake’s cider, definitely on the sweet side thought. Food was great, we enjoyed the spinach & artichoke dip and the Althea pizza. Very cool and chill place. Major points for being dog friendly, both inside and on the patio! Cash approved 🐾“

“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.“

“Joclyn was taking care of our party of over 20 ( plus another party room & 2 tables) She did a great job, keeping drinks filled, orders out correctly, she was kind & helpful! Portion was generous, drinks great!“

“terrible service. waited over an hour for a waitress one never came and then a man took our order still no food. inquired about my order they said they didn't have one. their explanation to me was "it happens" Don't ever go here service sucks can't say about the food as I was tired of waiting an hour and a half for the food“

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