“This Hardees location never disappoints! I always receive fast, friendly service and hot fresh food. I had an issue one time, many years ago and a simple phone call to the store was more than enough for them to go above and beyond to take care of the issue. If you're skipping over this place for one reason or another, I highly recommend stopping by. ⭐️“

“EVERYTIME myself and my sidekick come here the food is absolutely amazing and fresh! Staff is exceptionally friendly as well 🙂 can’t get any better than this!“

“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!!“

“Eating in the restaurant is great. I can’t recommend the drive thru, though, because every single time we’ve gone through they have forgotten something. And sometimes, like tonight, we foolishly didn’t check through the whole bag so I’m here eating my -$11 invisible chicken.“

“I love Freddy’s. It is our go to. ALWAYS. I absolutely love the food and so does my family. So much“

“The staff on overnights are always fast with my order and extremely friendly. They make my food exactly the way I ask and are fast to fix anything that I have a problem with. Food portion sizes are much bigger compared to competitors. The prices are very reasonable. Food is clearly made much better than competitors, and always leaves me satisfied after a meal.“

“Best excellence service will forever come back here Cody and Anoah where the best ever excellent service I will always come to this location and the food it to die for it’s superrrr good it’s a excellent place to eat will recommend to my friends for sure“

“The fried chicken was fantastic, but Lucas made the experience even better.

As a fried chicken enthusiast from both Canada and China, I’ve had plenty of fried chicken over the years. The food here easily deserves 5 stars, and Lucas added an extra 20 points on top of that with his friendly attitude and outstanding service.

I’ll definitely be back. Thanks, Lucas!“

“Fantastic Food and customer service is awesome. Food is fresh and quickly made to order. We love eating there when we are in town.“

“Of the fast food places around, this is the best!!!

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.“

“We didn’t eat here. Sarah found Cooper (lover boy) after the manager at the hotel across the street kicked him out and locked him out the building while we were grabbing a bite to eat. You are a freaking saint and deserve the world! I hope you do great things and get promoted to CEO of Arby’s or whatever your dream job is. Thank you thank you thank you for finding my baby and getting him back to me. My other two loved their treats too! Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart.“

“I like chicken bowl 🥣 black beans and white rice Pico queso guacamole 🥑 w chips“

“Really good food. Donate to first responders.“

“This was the worst Capriotti's I've ever been to in my life, and I've been to several in other states. The sandwich looked nothing like what you guys advertise as it barely had any meat on the sandwich and all it was was a tiny bit of chopped up pieces of ham, half inch pieces at best... that is not a classic Italian sandwich and I've had the sandwich in other states and it was fine. but I will never come back to this place and I do not recommend their place which is really disappointing. It seems Sioux Falls really struggles with their franchises here. Another recommendation is don't put the little bit of meat and cheese on the inside Edge where the two buns connect when you have the bun laid open so you have half the bun on the opening edge that has nothing (at least an inch or more) on it when you fold it in half. you guys sure made up for it for all the lettuce you put on it. that was the bulk of what the sandwich was. your sandwich looks nothing like what you advertise.“

“Super friendly staff. Food was good (I had a modded order and it was correct). Very detailed oriented. Good experience ?

Vegetarian options: No surprise here; it's mostly sides (fries, jalapeno bites, shakes, desserts, Mac and cheese, side salad, etc.)“

“This location is wonderful! The food is always hot, fresh, and accurate. The staff is amazing—friendly, helpful, and attentive. Leadership clearly sets the tone with their positive interaction with both customers and team members. Keep up the great work—you’re all doing an incredible job!“

“Can we get American cheese 🧀 on the menu“

“I picked up a DoorDash order the greeter at the register along with the young lady that was putting my order together was very helpful. I’d like to add that the young lady putting the order together in bags did offer to help me get my order to my vehicle and since I had 3 bags and 3 drinks carrying cases I accepted the help. Thank you guys for what you do.“

“Just was biking by and was gonna get a hot dog but I had a card issue with my bank, I apologized. But Comet gave me a free one “it happens man” awesome dude, keep up the hard work and your business will thrive!“

“Katie in the downstairs restaurant at the the FSD Sioux Galls airport was absolutely awesome. She helped me with paying for my meals with the United meal coupons which is a very challenging thing to accomplish. She was marvelous at it.. Absolutely, good natured, friendly knowledgeable, and extremely helpful. Thank you Katie.“

“I usually go through the drive-up I stop about 5 times a week getting breakfast burritos of different types about 70%of the time i can only taste the cheese on a small part of it making the rest taste dry,some times they forget to mark the types when your ordering for more than 1 makes it hard. the only other suggestion is I would put sticker on the seam that way the others won't unravel when you take them out of the sack although 41st location is closer I might have to try 12th street“

“This Subway has officially blown my mind and earned a top spot on my favorites list (with S. Louise as its only competition). Tonight’s visit was made next-level amazing thanks to Will, who deserves a serious shout-out.

From the moment I walked in, Will greeted me with a genuine, feel-good smile, handed me my two online orders like a pro, double-checked that my beloved Baja Chipotle sauce was on the side, and thoughtfully put my chips in the bag instead of sending me on a scavenger hunt on the way out. Already impressive, right? Oh, but wait—there’s more.

Just before leaving, I realized I needed to make a quick pit stop in the ladies’ room. Cue mild panic when the gentleman ahead of me had the same idea… and there’s only ONE key for both restrooms (because apparently someone thought stealing a bathroom key was a good life choice 🙄). Without hesitation, Will swooped in like a customer-service superhero, came out from behind the counter, and used an employee key to unlock the door for me. No waiting, no attitude—just pure kindness and going above and beyond.

That small act turned Will into my absolute favorite human of the night. THIS is the kind of service that keeps people coming back. If every Subway had a Will, the world would be a happier (and better-fed) place. 🌟🥪“

“Since all of the Hardee's in the Sioux City area shut down, I visit this Hardee's any time I am in the Sioux Falls area at breakfast, since their delicious fresh breakfast biscuits are so superior to McDonalds. The staff is always exceptionally friendly.“

“I really like this Arby's usually, and I would have liked to give them a 5 star for all but the lady acted irritated by me asking for a extra cup to share a shake with 5 yr old grandson. Let's face it at both our ages we don't need a full shake each. Lol I do recommend this place to eat tho, just hope you get the great cashier's I had in the past.“

“It's always tough on service at just about any fast food place in my opinion when you're dealing with teenagers you've got ones that will see you and actually want to take care of you and take your order and then you'll have others that stand around and just kind of stare at you and you'll have to say can I get some help that's why I rate the service at a medium“

“We recently had an outstanding experience with Arby's right here in Sioux Falls.
​As a fellow local small business—AAA Mobile Welding—we know how crucial excellent service is, and they truly delivered. It is motivating to see their commitment to quality and supporting the local business ecosystem. We highly recommend them! This type of positive local partnership is what keeps the small business community strong against the big box stores.
​Thank you again, Arby's!“

“I've been coming to this Arby's multiple times a week on my lunch break because it's close to work and the food is usually good. I even started taking my lunch later to avoid the 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM rush so I can get in, grab my food, and get back to work quickly.

The biggest issue has been the customer service. Sue often seems to have trouble hearing what I'm ordering, which leads to repeating myself several times. I also sometimes get the impression that I'm inconveniencing the staff, which isn't a great feeling as someone who comes in regularly.

I used to order through the app almost every visit, but I stopped after being charged twice for a single item on one order. The app has also been frustrating because Apple Pay doesn't seem to accept my Discover card, so I have to manually enter my credit card security code or switch to my Capital One debit card every time. That makes using the app more hassle than it's worth.

When I do place mobile orders, they're often packaged like they're for DoorDash, with the drink sealed as if a delivery driver is picking it up, even though I'm coming inside myself. It's not a major problem, but it feels unnecessary.

The food and wait is consistently good, which is why I keep coming back. I just hope the service and ordering experience improve, because this location is really convenient and I'd like to continue being a regular customer.“

“Great, but no Salt, Peper on tables, no katchups; no mayo rather :(“

“There is just something special about this place. The level of service and respect you receive here is something you don’t normally get at a sit down restaurant let alone a fast food option. John and his team absolutely blow my mind every time I come in for a meal!“

“i love this taco john’s i go here all the time i know most of the employees and everyone is so happy and fun and very kind and considerate plus my food is always fresh and fast when ordered and i 100% recommend this location!!!! i loveee my taco john’s 💕“

“I had such an awesome experience picking up lunch here recently. The sandwiches are always piled high with fresh ingredients, and the bread was toasted perfectly just how I like it. The staff was super quick and friendly, even though the shop was pretty busy when I walked in. I really appreciate how consistent this place is every time I stop by, and it is honestly one of my favorite spots for a hot sub. I will definitely be back again soon.“

“This store has really stepped up lately my food has been nice and neat in the bags when I order delivery and when I eat in the lobby my food is laid nice and neat on the tray. Napkins and silverware are usually in the bag also nice and neat for delivery. The bathroom was clean and had paper towels which is a plus.. I definitely can see an improvement :) way to go taco johns! You got this!“

“We’ve never had Taco John’s before - we were traveling from Illinois to South Dakota and we decided to try it out. Let me tell you, those tacos hit hard in a good way! If we’re ever out that way again we’ll definitely be stopping to get more yummy tacos!!!“

“This was my first visit to this establishment and was not disappointed. Champs Chicken was the bomb…as the kids said. I ordered the Dippers, Mac & Cheese and the Potato Wedges.
The chicken was delicious, the kids loved the Mac& cheese and the potato wedges were perfect. I would highly recommend the chicken.
The place was very clean and the staff were very friendly and helpful. That alone will bring me back for more food.
Thank you!!“

“Is maybe a pizza place but what it really is is a great casino, In fact one of my top five favorites of Sioux Falls to play at ive always had decent luck here, especially if playing smaller bets. There's 20 machines, complimentary soda, candy, pizza, and more to enjoy while playing, same cashier that works the gas station works the casino window you do have to walk up to cash tickets or get change however I almost prefer this over a place that's just a casino where the attendant walks freely around the casino, because it's quicker to just go to the window and they're waiting there for you instead of other places where you have to hunt down the attendant for what seems like forever. This is always my first stop when I get to town and my last stop before I leave back to Minnesota!“

“This looks like Cina sticks. It’s regular breadsticks. Been going here for like 2 years. I’m a rewards member and this was my free breadsticks... just the effort bro. Sometimes it counts where you don’t expect. I expect better. You guys have DONE better.“

“Great clean place to eat. Fresh food and smiling faces. Great place to bring your family or team.“

“I had just taken my father from the hospital back to his assisted living and was heading back to work when I stopped for lunch, realizing I forgot my wallet I let the manager know as he was working the window, he said I already made this, enjoy your lunch. It was the little bit of kindness my day needed. As always the food was amazing, but today the service was next level!“

“Your team rocked the unicorn cake today! Our “potty training” little girl lit up when she saw it! Awesome service!“

“We had a good experience with the staff and food. The gentleman who made my salad gave me what I asked for and then sprinkled more lettuce on top to finish it off. I was very pleased and it was just want I wanted. My husband said his sub was very good and he had no complaints. Overall very good Subway.“

“Great food and great staff“

“The wreck sandwich was awesome👍“

“always fresh and on time!“

“Great food and service! Not your typical sub. Flavor abounds!“
