    Dome burger

    Always fun to stop in a small town for a burger and a beer! The food was delicious, the atmosphere was relaxed, and the service was great. Exactly the kind of small-town charm that keeps me coming back!

    Chillin on the 3rd rooftop bar. So fun and perfect summer night vibes.

    OLC Vermillion is a great place to relax and enjoy with friends and family. Great food, friendly staff, and the 3rd floor balcony is a perfect summer evening with fireplaces and a full bar! Juan and Avery are awesome people and made it so fun!! Thank you!!

    Grilled chicken breast dinner (sans the wild rice) and bbq chicken pizza.

    Meh. Decent food. It's basic bar & grill type food. Plenty of options. The guys thought the pizza was good but average. I was trying to eat light, so I had the grilled chicken breasts with veggies. I must say it was nice and moist and a generous portion. We all got plenty to eat and left full, which is a positive. The highlight and everyone's favorite was the soft pretzel with beer cheese appetizer. This one was above average, very good. The service was a little subpar. We stopped in after normal dinnertime hours, around 8:30 p.m., so luckily it wasn't busy, because the bartender had to bartend AND wait on tables. So he was stretched too thin. In his defense, there was a private party upstairs, so the wait staff was sent upstairs to tend to the party. However, they should have had enough staff on hand to handle both the regular business in addition to the party. Being that it used to be a lumber business, I did think the building was really neat. Overall decent experience.

    Appetizer: pretzel sticks with beer cheese!! Best I have ever had

    I used to love this place. But the floor was sticky, the bathrooms smell terrible and the food ultimately wasn't good.

    Excessively dirty overall. Dirty utensils, dirty bathrooms, dirty windows, dirty front door dirty cups. Wear your jacket because it's cold.

    My daughter, Crissy, and I "loved" spending an evening at Dakota Brick House during our quick trip…read morethrough Vermillion, South Dakota. The weather was perfect, so we sat outside, enjoyed drinks and appetizers, and met the friendliest people, including our waiter. Sadly, I did not ask him his name, as he was amazing and he deserves a raise. We were there on Saturday, August 10 in the early evening. Everyone who checked on us during the evening exceeded all our goals. On our next visit to Vermillion, I will include the Dakota Brick House just because of the staff and the guests. We ordered a margherita pizza, with hunks of mozzarella cheese, diced tomatoes, chiffonade basil, and house-made pizza sauce to share. Not only was it delicious, it was just the right size for two women to share comfortably. Crissy was in charge of selecting the restaurant, and we both enjoy pub atmosphere. She was drawn to the patio so we only walked through the indoors but I really liked what I saw.

    We thought we would give this place a go. We ordered the…read morepoutine fries, but it lacked enough gravy to finish them. I had the Clucker ( chicken sandwich ) the bacon was very hard and the chicken very dry. She had the brick house burger and substituted the beef patty for a black bean one. She seemed to like it ok. The atmosphere was very pleasant, and we sat outdoors because it was a nice night. Our service was a little lack luster. Our server was very quiet and not very engaging. But she got the job done. It was a Friday night and not that busy. The people around us seemed to be having a good time and enjoying their meals. All in all , a decent place, but I don't think we will be back.

The decor and vibe of the restaurant was well done. Updated and well decorated. The waitress seemed put out we were there, unfortunately she was training another waitress, continuing to train the same bad habits. We had to wait about 10 minutes between each visit she paid to our table. There were a few times I had to get her attention or find her because she kept walking by our table without stopping or acknowledging us. The food looked good and tasted...okay. My wife got pulled pork which was not fresh. It was obviously re-heated from a prior day. Had a weird aftertaste. The best things were the buffalo spring roll appetizer and the milkshakes. The waitress did discount our order due to our dissatisfaction with the food. This was good customer service. The dirty trays were never removed from our table. The trainee could've easily done this since she was hanging out at the bar talking for most of the time. This isn't necessarily her fault. This is a training and management issue. This place should be packed every day it's open. It was less than half full when we were there for dinner. This is probably due to the bad things we experienced. Management needs to step up. You're robbing yourselves, your employees, your owner and your community of something good.

    **UPDATE: This review was posted for the Roadhouse located in Orange City, IA and NOT for this…read moreparticular restaurant located in Vermilion, SD and which I have NOT yet been to. ** Not much for dining options in Orange City, IA these days. The two terrific places I'd normally recommend are both gone. Think of the Roadhouse as the new man standing and standing only because there isn't much else standing around it! Food is average to above average. Average selection of beer and wine. The service and staff are the weak links in the chain, and, ultimately, why I couldn't give this place a more than 'average' review. The 'bartenders' are anything but. I was a bartender and server for years. The female staff of this place are lazy and more interested in gossip than in their customers. The male members of the staff were busy throughout and seemed much more attentive to their job than worried about anything not related to it. Good for them! I wish one of the men here would have been my bartender rather than the two women who didn't know what Tabasco sauce is or the one who told me that they "just don't have a need to have it!" You're a bar/restaurant and you don't have a need for Tabasco sauce!? If it weren't so sad and true this would be comedic! Bottom line: I'd not go out of my way to come here again. I could recommend many other places to go to in or near this neck of the woods. The Roadhouse is doomed for failure on its current course of mediocrity in both food and service. It thrives now because there is not much else for competition. Once a new player arrives that offers excellent food, outstanding service and a truly welcoming atmosphere the Roadhouse is sure to find itself as a relic left in the dust rather than a prosperous and sought after place to satisfy even the most modest foodie. If I were the Roadhouse owner I'd heed warning and get first your staff under control and go from there. If not, they will surely be the iceberg to your Titanic.
