“I have been here three times in the last 5 years (I do not live near by). Philips has the most amazing food and is a pretty unforgettable place to go. I can’t wait to go back.“

“Our 1st time today. Super cool vibe the Chislic (beef & lamb) were cooked perfect! Our waiter was quick and made sure everything was good. Definitely will go back!“

“wonderful meal & they had so many gf options!“

“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“

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

“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!!“

“excellent! Great service. Great menu and professional staff!!!“

“Still one of the best“

“Came to try the chili, ill say very delicious! Had to reorder my fries due to way to much salt on them. The manager than says loudly to make more because someone (meaning me) had complained about them. Well i did not think it would be such an issue but i guess it was.You can see in my picture the salt was literally falling off. Not sure if i will come back or not. If i do than maybe order with no salt next time. Resturant was very clean :)“

“Best burgers in Sioux Falls!“

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

“Normally good food and the great store, of course!! but the last one that we hit in Sioux Falls was awful She didn't fill our drinks.She just didn't care , she had a Terrible attitude.“

“Everyone at our table was happy.
Alley was so helpful and patient.
One of us could not hear well. She looked right at him and spoke up with respect.
Other folks knew us and stood at our table to talk. She made everybody feel welcome and still weaved up to serve us being polite the whole time.
It was not easy but she was a pro.
By the way, the food was good too.“

“We had a steak and the Mahi and it was cooked to perfect. We also had super moist chocolate cake.

Beyond that though, the service was top notch. We had an issue with a 50 dollar gift card we were given and it showed empty. The waiter went above and beyond, reached out to management and they honored it anyway. As first time diners, this is incredibly impressive.

Thank you guys for a wonderful date night with my wife.“

“Love it“

“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!“

“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.“

“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! :)“

“Katie is extremely patient. They were nearly closing, but she took time to suggest me a nice regular tea (not shown in the menu but cheaper 2.95$) with cinnamon spice flavor and Honey. I said I liked it blazing hot, and she put double cups to make sure it was easy to hold.
Please give her a raise !“

“Staff is great! Place is clean! The food is consistently AWESOME! This is the best Culver’s in all of Sioux Falls hands down! The rotating custard menu is something to be excited about all the time. The Rootbeer is a must have!
Vaamanan is the absolute 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.“

“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!! 😂“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Out to dinner with my wife and three others. The food and service were top notch. There were only two strikes against it. The new location lacks the ellegence of their old location. And the door out to their patio seating area opens directly outside so any time people went out that way, the cold air blew across the room. On a normal night, I suspect this would be a rare occurrence, but the night we were there happened to be the night of the winter normal for the local schools so there were a number of high school couples that were running out to get photos in the fresh snow in their formal outfits“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!!!!“

“This was an EXCELLENT venue for my son's wedding. The staff was incredibly helpful and responsive to all of our needs and requests!!! We LOVED our time at The Social!!!!“

“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

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

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“This is like my 3rd trip to Monk's and as it is Burger Battle Month it's time to review. Service and atmosphere is very friendly and laid-back. Servers are always attentive and friendly. As for Big Popper Burger...keep it on the menu full-time! It was a juicy burger with some heat! Loved it.“

“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!“

“The Rush features Friday and Saturday night Karaoke, starting at 9pm The KJ's make it fun and the sound is good! You can't help but love Chris! He's the best Bartender In the business.“

“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.“
