The bacon was that good high quality thick cut which was so good and perfectly cooked (must order!!) the eggs I got were scrambled with cheese and were diner style and perfectly cooked. The bananas pancakes themselves were some of the best I have had which says a lot, the bananas melted into the fluffy batter perfectly and they were unique in a good way. I wish I caught the name of who our server was because she was very nice and helpful. The ambiance was nothing special, just classic breakfast place, family friendly.

When I want my food made right the first time I always hit up 10th st. Been going there since I was little. All 3 locations make really good food but I like my sirloin tips medium rare and this is the only location that gets them right. Definitely better then Denny's and Perkins. They go with the flow well Fryin' Pan's food is great. Never even got a bad server and the manager's have come over and talked with us or check us out. I'm hitting it up about 3 times a month if not more. Downside is, they need to have jello on their salad bars at all 3 locations. :( read more

I really liked Spezia!…read more This location had a small diner feel, almost similar to a clean,well maintained, but seemingly a little run down, mom and pop restaurant. The food here was wonderful, had spaghetti and meatballs, and it was unlimited. Could only eat one serving but it tasted pretty good. The meatballs were home made, the spaghetti was cooked good, albeit little hard for my tastes, good nonetheless. The only downside, and this is only for my tastes, is that the meatballs contained chunks of onions. I like onion flavor but don't care for chunks of onion. This almost cost a star but I realized it's just me bring picky. Also had a slice of pie too, that was very tasty! Took pie to go and had later. Based on size of container thought was small yet slice was actually large. Was short but squat, if that makes sense. Will repeat and likely try other locations.

This location in Sioux Falls was packed thanks to Mother's Day. Fortunately, we got there just as the lunch rush was winding down. Unfortunately, that didn't help much. It took a while to get seated, and service was super slow -- like really slow. It seemed to take forever for someone to take our order and for the food to come out. The food itself was delicious. The baked mushrooms were good, and the garlic tilapia was amazing. However, the eggplant parm was on another level. Absolutely stole the show. Just a word of caution: the leftovers don't heat up particularly well, so bring a big appetite. Would definitely return if I'm back in the area and hoping the service is better next time.

The food came out relatively quickly however I believe our expectations were set too high regarding the taste since it was a new restaurant and there was a lot of hype. We will give it another try eventually but overall I would give Big Sioux Burger a "Meets Expectations" rating. PROS - Great atmosphere. Tons of wall decal and neon lights - Large tap beer selection - Great outdoor seating - Great food presentation - Lots of bar seating - Walking distance to the Falls Park CONS - Beware that the Big Sioux burger has a special sauce that is a tad bitter. Others may like it but we were not fans. - Parking is limited if you want to park within the Steel District area. You may have to park on Phillips Ave. - The menu is a tad short.

Today was no different. The pasta meal was very dry and the wrap...YIKES!!! I understand anything "buffalo" is going to be spicy but this was over and above. A side of ranch or Bleu cheese would have helped. We would have asked our server for some but she was no where to be seen. In fact, we were pretty much done with our meal before she came back to check on us. By then it was too late. Had they been busy, this could have been better understood but there were only 4 other tables seated and other servers were working It's safe to say this will be our last time eating there.
