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

“Still one of the best“

“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!!!“

“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 :)“

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

“Had these at neice's reception and stopped last weekend on way home from MN..(live in NE) & ONLY thing better than Murphette burger is the people working there..1st class all around..5*s“

“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.“

“My sandwich was very plain. Bacon, lettuce, and tomato with a packet of mayo. No special white bread or sauce or anything to make me feel like it was worth $9. Salad bar had mostly pasta salads and not very much actual lettuce for making a salad.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“Gateway Bar and Grill – Sioux Falls' Go-To Spot for Football Sundays!

I had an incredible experience at the Gateway Bar and Grill in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. This place has everything you could ask for in a neighborhood bar—friendly service, a welcoming atmosphere, and an excellent setup for watching football! Whether you’re coming in for the game or just a casual night out, this is *the* spot.

Special shoutout to the bartender, who was not only quick and attentive but also added a personal touch to every interaction, making sure everyone at the bar was well taken care of. If you’re a football fan, this is *the* place to be on Sundays—tons of TVs, a lively crowd, and a vibe that makes game day feel even more exciting.

Highly recommend Gateway Bar and Grill for great drinks, delicious food, and the best football-watching experience in town! I’ll definitely be back.“
