In my opinion, this location used to be the best home cooking restaurant in Sioux Falls.
The former owner sold his remaing stores to a huge company owning dozens.
Their hallmark of excellent service and the most wonderfully consistent food in Sioux Falls.
Their breakfast foods dropped from a 9 out of 10 to perhaps a 5 or 6 out of 10.
Their hosts never acknowledge you on arrival until they finish with everyone ahead of you without so much as a "We'll be right with you."
The dinner foods I've tried are still quite good. The ribs are fantastic.
Most of the old staff is gone, the few that remain are true Service Stars. The others seem to be more concerned with the "not my job" mentality. To be fair, no one has ever said this, but be studiously ignored on entry or waiting to pay, and you'll understand.
You might wonder why I still rate it with 2 stars with what is admittedly a pretty harsh review.
They still have the necessary ingredients to reach excellence again. Time will tell, I hope.

Ordered food to go today & was assisted by Laura. Clearly they were busy, you could hear it in the background but Lord she had such a rough tone. I pick up the food & yea, they were slammed. Get home with my 5 meals & I am missing some breakfast meat, 3 orders of pancakes & my eggs are seriously that cold. Called them & Laura answered, said I was missing the pancakes & she said I got toast. Yes, but it comes with pancakes. She says "I asked what you wanted for bread" "yea, I said white" & she said my choosing a bread type was me saying I wanted toast & not pancakes. Bread & pancakes are not 1 in the same & she was not sorry at all. I waited forever in the lobby to get my food & then lucky for me I get missing food, cold food & really poor reasons for no pancakes. $90 food order but no apologies for 3 things of missing meat + pancakes. Didn't even tell her about the meat by the time she copped attitude over pancakes. Thanks Laura!

The service was slow. Our server was very nice but seemed overwhelmed. While pouring a glass of water, he overflowed the cup and poured it on the ground. We were seated quickly and ordered quickly, but it took a while to get our food, to the point we were concerned we would be late for our next appointment, when we had planned for the time it should have taken. We made it. Everything went well enough. My son and I ordered different muffins but were given the same kind. They were delicious, but it was consistent with the rest of our service. The food was good. Our server was really, really nice. It was probably just a very busy day.

First time here and my family was disappointed in the food as servings were smaller than usual especially for the prices they were charging. Sevice and atomosphere were good. Just too expensive to go back anytime soon.

For starter, the place was not busy what so ever.
1.waiter came took our drink order, 1. My other half did not ordered pop but one was served
2, the food was Luke warm.
3. The has brown was not cooked all the way.
4. We requested a Togo box for our muffin at time of ordering our meals. Instead it was served on the table and the butter looked like been sitting for hours.
5. We ask for hot sauce the waiter brought it to us and the seal on the bottle was not removed. Serving a bottle and trying to remove the tamper proof with nothing until I pulled out my work knife.
6. Please don't vacuum the floor next to people that are eating.
I wished I coukd give a better feedback but honestly it was just a bad experience.
upon paying we had to ask the cashier to remove it with no issues.
For a place that was dead I woukd if expected better service.
