I looked up Steakhouses in the area and this place popped up. It is a butcher shop that has a restaurant on one side. I stopped in the shop first and got a couple items. I haven't tried them yet but if they're as good as the steak I got in the restaurant, it'll be delicious! As for the restaurant, it looks like you're normal bar with a beer cave where you can buy beer to go. The waitress came over and answered my questions about the menu and apologized because she was new. She apologized a couple times but I told her to stop apologizing because if she hadn't told me I wouldn't have known. She was quick, polite and great. I ordered a 14 oz ribeye with garlic mashed. It also comes with soup and salad bar but I didn't feel like that. When the steak came out, it was delicious! Cooked perfectly and almost buttery. I will definitely come back and might check out the shop on the other end of Watertown.

I ordered medium prime rib--it was dry and tough to chew--recommend you pass up the prime rib.

not good food, out of everything. Would never be back. Had a steak, not good. No salad, no burger, everything was bland on what I did get.

Mediocre. Limited menu. Lackluster service. It'll do in a pinch. Sit inside, perhaps service may be better??

2nd Street Station - Sides: salad and wild rice

I would normally give this 3 stars anywhere else, but relative to other restaurants here in…read moreWatertown, I bumped it up an additional star. There's plenty of parking on the street or the parking lot adjoining. Approach is open and the door is obvious. Ambiance inside is interesting; open area, semi-dimly litt with the bar to left and more table and booth seating to the right and there's a step down separate room for private events, further underpins the steak joint atmosphere. The menu options covers land, sea and air and my paaps and I landed on air and myself went with turf. The meat dish the filet oscar was perfectly cooked to medium rare with lobster, shrimp, asparagus topped off with hollandaise sauce. The chicken breast was the same quality and the dad added a side of wild rice. Wine menu is descent for the area and I ended up with a pinot that was a nice accompaniment to the steak. I've been coming to this town for quite some time and didn't know about this place, so will add it to my go to place and would recommend to anyone looking for a descent, quiet restaurant here in Watertown.

Service and food was absolute s*** got mushrooms and onions on my steak which was a prime and my…read morePrime tasted like ass. The mushrooms and onions were barely cooked they were just like seared from raw on a hot griddle which is not but that's supposed to be and one of the bartenders or servers was clearly drunk kept taking my food and drink away while I was actively enjoying it

Dempsey's Brewery and Pubs nails that authentic Irish atmosphere so well, you half-expect a…read moreleprechaun to pinch your pint while you're not looking. The warm wooden digs and lively vibe make it a proper escape in Watertown, SD, though the only drawback is the constant buzz of chatter drowning out what should be some good ol' Dropkick Murphys tunes. I was particularly impressed by the great pastrami on homemade rye--tender, tangy meat stacked high on fresh-baked bread that could make even a New Yorker do a happy jig. Their bartenders are absolute gems, slinging drinks and banter with the charm of seasoned storytellers who somehow remember your name after one visit. One quirky touch is how the floors creak underfoot, like they're gossiping about all the pints spilled before you. Strangely enough, the soup of the day was tequila, a boozy curveball that had the whole place toasting with confused delight and empty bowls. The house brews hold their own, pairing like old friends with the hearty grub. All in all, Dempsey's is a witty, wonderful Watertown, SD gem.

Dempsey's is a Watertown stalwart for places to go eat and catch up with people. This place has…read morebeen around for a bit and everyone is familiar with the quality of the food and specifically their pies. During the stint back in Watertown I didn't make as many trips to Dempsey's as I normally would but the quality of the food hasn't dropped. It's always nice when you walk in you can smell pizza being baked in their oven (s). I usually land on their Dempsey's Classic that has Pepperoni, Italian Sausage, Green peppers, Black Olives, Baby Bella Mushrooms. I usually ask for them to add another 3 mins of cook time for the extra crispy and ensure the middle of the pizza is fully cooked. They have a variety of other unique pizza's to taste but I usually go with their Classic. They also have a variety of their own in-house brews that's always changing along with their standard taps. If anyone is ever visiting Watertown definitely add Dempsey's as a go to place to try out.
