    My friend and I often use this as our meeting spot since she lives near Brookings and I'm in Sioux…read moreFalls. We are always greeted by their friendly staff immediately upon walking in. The chips and salsa are spot-on and the food is always fast to come out, steaming hot, and tasty. It's a pretty big place with dining available on two sides. Definitely scope it out if you're near Dells (or even within 20 miles!)

    While passing through Dell Rapids during one of our little road trip adventures, my husband and I…read morestumbled upon this restaurant and decided to stop in and give it a try. One thing that immediately caught our attention was the building itself. Dell Rapids has a great deal of historic charm, and the restaurant is housed inside one of the town's older historic structures, which gives it a lot of personality before you even sit down. The atmosphere carries some of that preserved small-town character that makes these Midwest road trip discoveries enjoyable in the first place. The presentation of the food was honestly quite beautiful. The plating was polished, colorful, and thoughtfully arranged in a way that immediately raised our expectations. The dishes looked refined and carefully constructed, almost the sort of meals that make you instinctively reach for your phone to take photos before eating. Unfortunately, the actual flavors never really lived up to the visual presentation. That was the biggest disappointment for us. While everything looked appealing, most of the dishes wound up tasting fairly flat and underwhelming. Nothing was outright terrible, but very little had the depth, seasoning, or distinctiveness we were hoping for once we actually began eating. Service throughout the meal was decent enough, though the restaurant seemed somewhat overwhelmed at the time. There was a very large and extremely loud Friday gathering taking up much of the dining room and seemingly most of the staff's attention. It also appeared they may have been somewhat understaffed that afternoon, which likely contributed to the slower pacing and divided attention. Overall, the experience landed somewhere between average and slightly disappointing for us. Not actively bad, but not especially memorable either. The historic setting and attractive presentation certainly added points, but ultimately we left feeling underwhelmed by the food itself.

    Probably one of my favorite restaurants as a Mitchell local. The atmosphere is homey and quiet. I…read moreusually get great service here. And they always serve you good food and generous portions for a good price. I like that they don't have many screens here. When my husband and I eat out, we don't want to watch TV together, we want to visit. There are places to sit if you want to watch the TVs, but I really like that they don't have many in the restaurant. They remodeled recently, thankfully they didn't change the things that I loved about the restaurant before, just the entries/foyer area and the exterior. They have a nice kids menu that is a coloring page, they have helium balloons that they give to the kids at the front desk when you're done eating, and they serve everyone a little dessert sopapilla when you get your bill. Very family friendly. Would definitely recommend eating here!

    There's something to be said for a place that consistently delivers. That's Corona Village for me…read more My favorite has always been the Corona Burrito with picadillo and I'm in love with the new Corona Tropics mocktail. I've tried nearly everything on the menu over the years and I keep coming back for more. Anytime friends and family visit, this is where we go - you should try it too! It's always a lively place with great service and a festive vibe (especially on someone's birthday). Follow @goaroundwithcrystal for more foodie adventures
