This has quickly become one of our favorite spots for pizza in Sioux Falls. We have been impressed with the service and food quality.

Dogs in restaurants are one thing... But letting them eat out of a dish on the bar where they serve food! REALLY!

They had a twist on modern pizzas, we weren't too sure what to expect with our mashed potato pizza, but we were pleasantly surprised. read more

Had a pizza and it was very good. Nice quiet place to grab a bite downtown. Food was hot and the bartender/server was prompt and courteous.

Food is always so good! Love the mash potato pizza and bobs popper pizza's. Their green beans are delicious. This is my favorite spot in town to grab a beer hands down! Such a great tap selection. I always try something new and am never disappointed! Service is always great, they're all so nice. Love the vibe of this place. Very comfortable and welcoming. read more

The burger was amazing! Suggested by the server, and definitely does not disappoint. The ambiance is typical of a bar and grill -- dark, but warm and comfortable. Plenty of seating, and a convenient location downtown just a short walk from Falls Park. read more

We were walking around downtown and wanted a place with local beers and food. This place has good reviews so seemed like it would be a good bet. Originally we sat in a booth but no one came to us for awhile (it was seat yourself) so we moved to the bar to get faster service. They have a ton of beers so it was hard to decide. I got a small cream ale and then got a small strawberry blonde a little later. As for food, I ordered the pizza with pepperoni and banana peppers (forgot the name), one friend got the mashed potato pizza, and another got the fig pizza. The mashed potato and pepperoni/banana pepper pizza were really good. I highly recommend the mashed potato pizza if you want something a little different. I wasn't a huge fan of the fig pizza, mostly because of the onions on it, but that's personal preference. My friends really liked it. The pizzas are a good size and we all had leftovers. Service was friendly and the bartender gave some good recs for must visit breweries in town. Would definitely come back! read more

Have been on a 3 week cross country road-trip from Los Angeles pand drove into Sioux Falls tonight. Found Monks right down the street from our hotel! David behind the bar was so friendly and knowledgeable and helped us find the best IPA's and Ciders! Also recommended local restaurants! Check it out if you are in the area. read more

Get the mashed potato pizza! It's super yum. We came here during a weekend escape to Sioux Falls. Thanks to Yelp, we discovered this place and headed here for some beers and a pizza. It's a really cute spot with a nice decor and ambiance. Kinda minimalist meets urban loft meets fancy cabin. There's outdoor seating, bar seating, high tops, and also comfy chairs and low coffee tables. And it's dog friendly. Great and extensive list of beers. Friendly and knowledgeable bartenders and staff. And delicious pizza! A great place for a low-key hang with great drinks and food. read more

Stopped here unexpectedly for a late lunch while doing some shopping. My server was quick, kind and efficient. I ordered the 1/2 order of nachos and WOW!!! These are the best nachos I think I've ever had- and I'm 60 years old so I've had a LOT of nachos! Perfect amount of chips, cheese to toppings ratio. And they had fresh jalapeños! There was plenty for 2 if not 3 people so great shareable and affordable lunch! read more

Did not eat any food on this trip to Monks, the Ambiance is great, it's inviting, cool, just has a great vibe! A lot of beers on Tap...50 to be exact! The bar tenders were friendly, attentive & helpful! I tasted 2 different beers that I hadn't had & ended up getting one that I'm familiar with! The bathroom was clean and I just loved all the different type places to sit from "L" shaped tables to cumfy couches, to bar stols to booths to cushy chairs & hightop tables etc. The music was different, but okay, upbeat, some rap type some pop or new age, but I enjoyed my visit! I'll have to come back anorher day for food! read more

A family friendly bar and restaurant. Lots of beers available. I tried the Ayinger (German pilsner) and the local beer Fernson Seed Series #151 (blonde ale). The Ayinger was probably my favorite of the two. Had a variety of pizzas. The mashed potato one was interesting. The place had a few arcade and pinball machines if your kids need something to do. When we first got there, there were plenty of tables available. We sat ourselves, and it took some time for a server to come by. When they eventually did, the service was good. The place filled up while we were eating. Would recommend. read more

We went on a Wednesday night. The atmosphere was incredible and wasn't too loud so we were actually able to have a conversation. I got the Chicken Bacon Ranch and it was amazing. Half of it filled me up, so easily could have shared. Had a couple of beers as well. read more

When I lived in South Dakota between the years of 2011-2015, Monk's was one of my favorite spots to frequent. Now, returning almost 5 years later, I was happy to find Monk's just as delightful and delicious as ever! With over 40 craft beers and ciders on tap...this place is a paradise for us beer drinks! The tap list is from all over the United States and has a brew that will satisfy any unique craving/palate! Also, being the home of Gandydancer Brewery, they have some in-house beers as well that are legit! What more could you want? For thirsty beer drinkers, what I've stated alone would be enough to satisfy. But now, add in the fact that they have phenomenal food as well!! I've tried many different appetizers and pizzas over the years and loved them all! But the Muffuletta pizza is my absolute favorite! So flavorful and creative! Yum! On top of all of this, the building is spacious and cozy for friends/family to kick back and chat together, play some games in the back, or gather around the fireplace! The ambiance is fantastic and makes you want to stay for hours! The staff are always friendly/helpful, prices are solid, and everything is clean/fresh! For all of these reasons, I love Monk's! I look forward many future visits in years to come! Thanks for being a wonderful drinking and eating establishment! read more

Fantastic selection of beers from all over the country. Doesn't matter what you are into Monk's will have something you like. Additionally, I had a couple of pizza and they were delicious! read more

I just spent a nice long weekend in Sioux Falls. In my 2 afternoons and evenings there, I went to 4 breweries and felt that this place by far was the most enjoyable. A tap beer selection with a dozen or so of their in-house brewed under the name Gandy Dancer; and a score or so more of select, mostly regional beers, although a couple of Belgians also. I enjoyed a fine Gandy Dancer Kolsch, then switched to a Toppling Goliath IPA, since I can't get that in Kansas City. Extra Credit points for also having a Whiskey Barrel Stout from Boulevard Beer on tap - my hometown beer! I really love the lay-out of the space. A 10 seat bar, a game room, patio, and a large room divided up into small gathering areas. Lots of stuff to look at too. A very classy western feel. A friendly crowd and nice bartender added to the experience. I didn't order any food. read more

The beer was very good. We had 3 pizzas and they were all excellent. Easy 5 minute walk from our hotel.

Came here for a quick dinner and a drink. Had the Spicy Chicken Pizza and Bob's Popper Burger. The pizza was delicious and sizable, big enough for two to split. Good crust and healthy serving of cheese. The burger was delicious as well, cream cheese balanced out the jalapeños and the bun was perfectly buttered and toasted. Burger was perfectly filling, didn't leave me hungry but didn't leave me bending over in pain either. If you're a cider fan I'd recommend the Rekorderlig as well, sweat and smooth - can't even taste the alcohol. Service was good, nothing special but timely and accurate. Ambiance was great, nice place to go with friends, family, or a significant other! read more

We stopped here on our way out to Washington state from Chicago. It was a nice casual place to relax for a while before we got back in the car. We stopped in, in the afternoon and it was not busy at all. What I ordered: I tried a pear cider since I do not like beer that much and it was good! It was light and crisp. To eat I ordered the fried green beans. So yummy! The bartender was very nice and answered all of our questions! read more

We stopped here to try their Burger Battle burger entry. The burger was amazing but the experience was so much more. At Monks you seat yourself, which in some places leaves you wondering if you'll even get waited on. Our server warmly greeted us when we walked in the door and made us feel welcome. They have an AMAZING tap beer selection and our beer choices were wonderful. Great vibe to the place. Will definitely be back! read more

Monk's was great, the servers were quick and had good suggestions. My Orval was served in its proper glass, nice touch. LOTS of different taps and bottles, also we liked the pizza and cheese bread sticks, lots of flavor. Thai salad rolls were crisp and yummy vegan too! Nice spot for sure, with a large patio and nice inside. read more

Best beer bar ever. The pizzas are great too--especially if you have gluten issues. Great crust. And if you have FODMAP issues too, you can ask for olive oil instead of sauce. If you're a Belgian style fan, they have a bunch of great ones in bottles. Just ask. read more

Great beer selection and pizza. Friendly staff definitely a good dinner spot. Huge selection of pizzas so you can find what suits you.

Large beer selection. Nice place, great outdoor seating. Dog friendly. The pizza...we ordered the supreme but asked for the balsamic reduction on the side since we just didn't think we'd like it. Boy, were we wrong!! It's delicious by itself and on the pizza, WOW! I'd come here again just for the pizza. And the balsamic reduction. read more

The Pizza was delicious! We also had Strawberry Rhubarb Cider.. very refreshing! Great music fun decor.

Presentation; food and service is awesome. And if you are in on Sunday around 7 pm, they have open mic night then after that it's a band. Great local joint. Huge beer selection for the beer fans. Also, dog friendly too read more

Crazy busy, but great service and flatbread! St. Patrick's Day and totally enjoying everything.

Amazing. We got the Bang the Dragon, a Rueben, and a BLTG. All the food is absolutely too notch. I will admit that I am personally not a fan of beer, but i loved the Framboise. (Getting a growler of that ) My parents samples about 5 beers and a cider and they were a fan of all of them. read more

We went to Monks around 4 on Friday and had the burger and ordered the pizza. The cardiac arrest pizza was really good crispy crust and plenty of toppings. The gritty burger had good flavor but was a little dry. Service was ok, it was a little slow. It seemed like there was only the one waitress. Overall we had a good time and will return. read more

Fantastic pizza! Our group of seven stayed in a nearby hotel and ordered takeout for dinner last night. We ordered several pizzas and man-oh-man, they were all good! The kids loved the pepperoni. The adults LOVED the mashed potato, jalapeño popper (so spicy, but the raspberry jam drizzle was an awesome touch), Thai, and four seasons. Such unique flavors and they nailed all of them. Will definitely return! read more

This is one of the local breweries in the area. With a scrolling monitor at both bar locations "front, and back of house" these menus keep you informed of their ever changing beer selection. I had a cream ale, and YUM! With hints of what seemed to be cherry, and vanilla this silky beer tasted more like a desert. I didn't try any of the food, but it seemed most the dishes coming out were pizza. It was a very nice place, The outdoor seating was a change even though the only view you have is of a train station. The front bar was kinda small, and the back bar area was very large, and open. I'd say this place is more of a "hipster" hangout. read more

Monk's Ale House - Cream ale was bomb! - New American Near Me - Sioux Falls, South Dakota

Nice place by the falls. Give it a try. Great flatbreads and huge variety. We sampled a bunch and each was delicious.

Pizza was fair. Seemed a bit over cooked. Beer was on point. 50 on tap with all different types and flavors. Service was kinda lack luster, not bad, just like it was the servers job and he wasn't enjoying it much. Went in about 4 pm and they weren't overly busy. I'd go back for another try, might or might not take friends until I tried it again. Beer selection was the redeeming part of the experience. read more

The vibe is really cool, i've been here a few times in the past, it WAS a great place to sit and hang out at - but now the staff doesn't pay attention to anyone who isn't a regular. Sat at a table for a bit and realized we were being ignored so we went up to the bar to grab drinks (maybe that's where we needed to order now?) stood there for over 20 minutes with no one behind the bar, when the bartender (blonde) came, she served everyone at the bar (including her "regulars," who didn't even need to order for her to refill their beers) made eye contact multiple times without even a "i'll be with you in a moment!" she just kept serving everyone around us. After 45 minutes of being there we weren't served or greeted (they were NOT busy) went across the parking lot to Covert which had less staff and was significantly more busy and were greeted as soon as we opened the door and served in 5 minutes We work food & bev ourselves and know how this goes. we felt personally ignored because we aren't "regulars." Loved the vibe - will never return. read more

Great place, informal, good food, family also enjoyed. Will be going back soon this time without the kids. read more

Great place; great beer; great atmosphere! Highly recommend! The pizza looked fantastic; however, we had already eaten so we never had the chance to taste it. A MUST stop! read more
