It was a Saturday and we thought this place sounded nice. It was only a 15 minute wait and then we were seated. Our server was very attentive and our food came fast. My French dip was one of the better ones and the burger that the other person in my party ordered was great. Overall I recommend this place to anyone who wants a casual lunch/dinner. read more

Creme brûlée was delicious! Best dessert in that area of town. Would come back just for dessert!

We've frequented often with family and never leave disappointed. Solid execution of a wide selection of dishes.

Our experience was wonderful! The Cajun Penne Pasta was outstanding. The service was exceptional and we all left very satisfied. I will return for sure next time I'm in Sioux Falls. read more

Was seated and server came by and asked " oh only one?" I'll be back to get your drink order (I all ready knew what I wanted) Waited 10'minutes while she bounced to every table in the area and figured I wasn't worth being severed. Will never visit again and wouldn't recommend if you are traveling and have to dine along You will be ignored read more

Service was week... food was sub par... and there little flies everywhere. Not worth the time or the cost

Grille 26 is a great spot to take the family to dinner. I especially love their Brick Oven Salmon. Also a nice place for drinks and dessert. I prefer Grille 26 to many other high end restaurants around town. read more

This was pretty delightful. Our server was nice and personable. She was very timely. There were 3 of us visiting for dinner. It's a nice atmosphere, very clean. My boyfriend ordered the honey chicken penne. He loved it. Excellent flavor, pasta and chicken were cooked to perfection. I got the salmon entree with a side salad. It was so delicious! Wonderful seasoning. The salad was fresh and paired well with the salmon. It was very good for the price. Our other friend got the Italian pizza. He was not fond of the crust at all . However he said the toppings were very worth it. Our drinks stayed filled, and they were pretty good. I would definitely recommend giving this place a try. A lot of the other entrees looked well worth trying. read more

Grille 26 would normally be a 5 star for me. The menu here is extensive, and wonderful. The folks who started this place were part of the Minerva's group. For those of you who don't know Minerva's, it is arguably the best restaurant in Sioux Falls for the last 30 years. You will find something for everyone on the menu, including kids. The prices are reasonable, considering the high quality of the food. My last experience was not so good on the service side, and it was not the first time this has happened. The best servers in this group are all looking to make their way to Minerva's, and Grille 26 is left with the rest and all of the newbies. The kitchen is slow, often. If this was my restaurant, I would make sure that a manager speaks with our table before, during and after our meal. It is often the case at Grille 26, I never see a manager. read more

Grille 26 - Bars Near Me - Sioux Falls, South Dakota

This is the second trip here for my wife and I. Both trips were for the late night happy hour 9pm-11pm that includes $2 apps, half price pizzas, $1 off 22oz taps, $2 off margarita and $3.50 premium wells. The well whiskey is windsor. Tonight we ordered 'The Funky Hawaiian' and 'The Grinder' (Pictured from right to left). Both pizzas had a soft chewy crust and included delicious cheese and toppings. At half price this is well worth the stop and even have a half pizza left over for the end of the night. Grille 26 is a casual concept of the fine dining experience of 'Minervas' located downtown. Although casual, it has nice decor and ambience making it more of an upscale casual. With that being said, we've sat at the rail both trips being served by a graying middle aged man who comes off just a little pretentious. He's nice and seems to have good intentions, but some may find it unwelcoming or uncomfortable. Sorry, maybe it's just me.... Looking for a nice balance of upscale and casual for a late dinner before a night on the town or a quick date, Grille 26 has a good vibe, and delicious food during happy hour that won't break the bank. read more

Excellent food and service in a casual setting. Reasonably priced food that is prepared perfectly.

For an East Coast snob, I was pleasantly surprised by both the quality and originality of the food. The Tuscan chicken sandwich was tasty and the artichoke dip appetizer filling. Dress is casual and you should call ahead if you have a large party. We had to wait 35 minutes for a party of 9. read more

Stopped in with a friend for a late lunch. It was pretty quiet by the service was very good. We had the Grinder pizza which was good. They had a good selection of food and craft beers. read more

Good place to eat, good kids menu, friendly staff. Pizza was good. I like it fine, could use more creativity read more

3.5 stars. This was my lunch spot a few times while in South Dakota. The apple gorgonzola salad was awesome! They give you a nice hunk of bread with your meal, lots of baked apples and cheese. It really hit the spot. They are a little heavy handed with the dressing so I recommend getting it on the side. The menu is expansive. There is something for everyone. My only wonder is with the freshness of the food they use- some of it must be frozen. Anyways, it is still decent quality. My co-workers and I all agree on a solid 3.5 stars. Given the food, service, and atmosphere, it is just a tad above average. read more

Fancier than I expected, but pleasantly so. Very nice service. Excellent in fact, and tasty food too. Nice surprise in Sioux Falls! Satisfied us and our 11-year old son too. Thumbs up all around! read more

Drinks were very good. Nice atmosphere. Food was okay but really nothing spectacular.

My lunch experience was very good. The turkey sandwich was delicious, with a generous portion of tasty meat on fresh bread. The service was helpful, attentive, and friendly, while the dining area was classy and comfortable. Very nice! read more

Consistently strong showing. I've never been disappointed in a meal. Setting, service, and value are always good.

My sister and I eat there often when I come to Sioux Falls for a visit and we've always been pleased with the food, service and ambiance.

Don't judge a book by its cover applies to this restaurant. Plenty of parking available in the strip mall type parking lot. Upon arrival, I wasn't sure what to expect, based on the unusual exterior. However, I was seated and greeted by our friendly server. I had salmon (surprise surprise) and added a side salad to start. Both dishes were excellent. The restaurant was nearly full on a Wednesday night, so apparently this place is a hit with the locals. I'd definitely return here next time I'm in Sioux Falls. read more

Keep in mind that this gets five stars within the category of a diner, because as a restaurant it would only get about 3 stars based on the flavor of the food. The flavor is average verging on good. The service is great. They are fast and attentive. The place is clean, bright and modern. It feels like an very upscale diner or maybe a maybe a brewery. I came on a Sunday early afternoon and was not crowded and the music in the background was soothing. A good place to stop by with friends or family. Could be good for a date, but it depends - I would scout it out first on a reconnaissance mission before bringing the significant other. Enjoy! read more

Was there for dinner with a friend around 8:30. We were handed menus quite quickly. The server was really nice and let us get on with our talking. He then provided US with some recommendations that worked really well. We shared the pesto mushroom pizza and the saffron mussels. The mussels were pretty good and quite large for an appetizer, good thing we did share it. By the time we got to the pizza it was only slightly warm. It was still good but could have been better hot. Too much talking, I guess. All in all good experience and I shall be back. There were many items that sounded good. read more

Went to Grille26 for early dinner. There were gluten free icons on some of their food choices. I asked the server if their gluten-free items were cooked on a dedicated grill/pans. She said no but they take precautions. I asked like what? She said didn't know. I ordered Blackened Salmon which arrived on top of a salad made of sliced vegetables (green, red and yellow peppers, zucchini slices and other vegetables with Blue Cheese dressing on all) and mashed potatoes. The Blackened Salmon had a coating of I don't know what all. Only ate the salmon, a little of the mashed potatoes and none of the salad. Tonight I am nauseated and bloated and I ate very little. On the way out another waitress said goodbye and was friendly. I told her with all due respect I asked if the had a dedicated grill. She said no but if they know when you order they will wash the grill before cooking your food. Then there is the rest of the meal that wasn't cooked on the grill how is that gluten free with the coating/spice/salad dressings on all of it. I also informed her that cross contamination is equally bad. She said they do their best but it's too expensive to have separate grill and accommodations. While I appreciate they want to please their customers they don't realize they can make GF people very sick and therefore shouldn't identify their specific dishes with their gluten free icon. I am nauseated and bloated even though I ate only the salmon and a small amount of mashed potatoes. Obviously it wasn't gluten free. Needless to say I will never trust them or go there again.

Called ahead of time to check no dress code and they were open during covid. Very nice person answered only take reservations for 5 or more no dress code come on over only 2 tables waiting and was about to seat them. We came right over 15-20 min wait but looked nice so stayed and waited......less then stated time nice! Seated in large booth plenty of room Jeff came within min very friendly positive took drink orders asked for id from my 21 year old he ordered Coors light (rookie) I asked Geoff local brew and said Fernson always order local brew when out of town wife ordered wine said very good. Beers were great! We got our dinner order in right away. Sons ordered Steak gorgonzola with penne pasta, wife ordered chicken risotto, (which I was going to have but she stole mine... Always have a 2nd when ordering last, I'lll have a bite anyway) i ordered angus meatloaf. We also all ordered side salad.... Salads all were good nice job on the homemade creaser dressing. Dinner served see pictures but they don't do food justice. Everyone said they loved there meals. Service was outstanding company was great. Felt a little underdressed ( where a collard shirt). This place is a must if you are visiting and I would be a regular if I lived close. Call ahead if 5 or more and ask for Geoff not taking away frome anyone else but ( Jeff with a G) he made the dining experience a memorable one. Well done, Bravo and continued success.... read more

My partner and I went here for our one year anniversary and we were pleasantly surprised to find the what seemed to look like elegant place and find it was a casual dining place! I had received a 50 dollar gift card and found out that I'd have leftovers! The grilled shrimp plate was well worth the 20 bucks as it was phenomenal and their oven baked pizzas were wonderful! The only criticism I'd have is that I ordered it plain and instead it had spices on it. The only downside to the night was that our waiter took forever to take our order and never refilled (or asked) until we were ready to leave. Otherwise I'd have given a 5star. read more

This was a fantastic choice for a stop while overnighting on the way out of the pheasant lands of South Dakota. I had dined in years past at the hotel where we were staying, and a quick Yelp search told me this was the spot to try. Grill 26 did not disappoint. I had a Filet, my brother had a great lamb and mint pasta dish, and our traveling companion got the pizza. All was fabulous, and our server Jen was really terrific. Thanks Grill 26! read more

Try the salmon!! Normally not something I get a lot but bartender suggested and was a homerun. read more

We stopped in after a very long day of driving on a road trip from New Jersey to Colorado and this place is excellent! Very fast and friendly service and was very accommodating to our toddler.

Have been dining at Grille 26 for many years and have never had a bad meal. We want to know what has happened to your Calimari? Very disappointing. The old way you made it with the pineapple, peppers and marinara sauce was the best anywhere! Breading was too much ! Please consider going back to the "old" way of making your Calimari. read more

After a very long day of travel, Yelp led us to this wonderful dinner spot. We arrived about 10 minutes before dinner service ended, but our server let us know as soon as we sat down so we could get our order in. We were only part way through our delicious martinis and dinner arrived. Perfectly cooked fish and beef! Service was friendly, attentive, and knowledgable. Highly recommend! read more

Great, diverse menu. Not too casual, not too fancy. A great option for lunch or dinner, happy hour specials are great too.

We were treated to a meal here by some friends which already put some good juju on this visit. We had the Bangkok shrimp as an appetizer and the breaded shrimp were crispy and tasty. We also ordered the steak & Gorgonzola pasta and the honey almond chicken pasta. Both of which were rich in flavor. The food was delicious and the portions were satisfying. The waiter was attentive and friendly. We sat in the bar area but the entire restaurant flowed nicely and had a warm and welcoming vibe. Overall we would recommend. read more

I've been here many times for breakfast, lunch, and dinner with our family. My parents like it, and the fact that they continue to return should signal that it's not terribly awful. Basically, you won't be greatly disappointed if your expectations aren't too high. Grille 26 offers a nice atmosphere with both a restaurant area and bar area. We usually sit in the bar, and there is a nice selection of beers on tap and wines. The menu is diverse, but there's nothing I've had here that I've really been amazed by that I would rush back for. The service is generally pretty good, but the food is very average and there's definitely some things I've ordered that I would categorize as 'bad'. Come for a drink during happy hour for the vibe and the atmosphere, but not for the food. read more

Just went for the first time. Very slow service. I ordered the Blackened Salmon Salad and it was awful. There may have been like a teaspoon of some type of balsamic vinegar on it. I ate part of the salmon but soon discovered the rest of it was completely raw. A disgusting pink mush. Gross! I sent it back and they actually charged me the full price of $16. This was a one-and-done dining experience for me. Huge disappointment! read more

if i could rate this place a zero i would. disgusting food the salad is like wet dirty leaves after the winter

Their Blackened Salmon Salad is something I regularly crave. It is so delicious! They have a full bar as well! Great spot to go in a date or meet with friends. read more
