Favorite place in Sioux Falls. Pretty much everything is good, but if you can coordinate with others you can get the sampler to try a bit of everything. Most of the whiskey is available to purchase as a take home bottle.

Just ate here, and their food surpassed all expectations. Corn chowder soup was so yummy, perfect taste and texture. Top sirloin steak was very good, perfect medium and topped with smoked mushrooms and onions, complimented with generous side of brussel sprouts and mashed potatoes. Atmosphere is wonderful, decor and music on point. Highly recommended.

Food was excellent. Visiting from out of town and food was so good that I went back twice. Brisket was juicy and tender. Tonight I had the Buffalo NY and it wasn’t disappointing. Atmosphere is warm.

Not one the things that I had left anything to be desired. Chicken was perfectly tender, Smokey, and delicious. Sides of cornbread and Brussels sprouts were well prepared and balanced. Everything had its own flavour profile that elevated the next. Highly recommend the smoked sangria.

I came here for dinner. They have a good selection of smoked meat (ribs, chicken, brisket, pork), burgers, salads ,salmon, walleye. I had the Brisket Burger. It was cooked exactly as I asked and it tasted fantastic. It has buttermilk red onions (lightly battered onions), smoked Gouda, bbq sauce and brisket on the beef patty. They include pickles on the side. I chose the Santa Fe Street Corn for my side dish. The corn was great too. I sat at the bar and Kylie was an excellent bartender. She checked frequently to make sure everything was good and to refill my water. They have a big selection of tap beer, wine and bourbons. There are happy hours from 3:00-6:00pm and 9:00-11:00pm

Plenty of gluten free options. I got the corn chowder and salmon and it was really good. Highly recommend this place for gluten free folks looking for a nice lunch/supper stop.

We stopped in for dinner while traveling through Sioux Falls. We had made a reservation and were seated immediately. Everything we got to eat was super tasty, and service was quick and very friendly. We especially loved the corn chowder soup, wings, and the southwest salad. The chicken was all soooo good! Large selection of bourbon as well. Brandon was our server and was excellent!
