    Super cool restaurant! Was passing through town while working and spotted by for a bite, glad I did. I tried the pheasant salad sandwich with a side of firefries - both were delicious. Wish I could've had a couple cocktails but will have to be next time. Service was excellent and all staff were extremely polite.

    Pheasant doesn't show up on the menu too often and since I was passing through this part of South Dakota, I made it a point to detour to the Pheasant Restaurant for a pheasant sandwich. This is a fancier sit-down place, ideal for a date night or a business meeting. I sat at the bar where I had great service and enjoyed my meal. The pheasant salad sandwich was delicious but I really couldn't tell that it was pheasant rather than chicken. Don't get me wrong - it was a tasty sandwich. But once the chopped pheasant was mixed with mayo and apples and the like, there wasn't anything special about it. The marble rye bread was also great. I'd glad to have tried it but I don't know that I would go out of my way again. [Review 17849 overall - 55 in South Dakota - 1370 of 2022.]

    We had another fabulous supper tonight at Pheasant in Brookings South Dakota! My husband and I both had filet mignon with balsmic and goat cheese butter. It was cooked to perfection and the flavor was outstanding! We ordered a bottle of red wine...Honoro Vera that was a very good compliment to the filet. Thank you Pheasant!

    I was fortunate enough to eat here 2 times this weekend. They were two of the most delicious meals I have had. I ordered the Spatzele with Red Pepper sauce for dinner. It had just the right balance of zing and creaminess. Every bite was a taste treat. Before dinner we had the sunflower seed and corn hummus. It was a huge serving with fresh vegetables and pita. Could have fed many people. The service was timely and attentive. We came back for the Norwegian waffles and smoked tots. Heaven with and elderflower mimosa. Thank you for two memorable unique and glorious meals

    I'm telling you, if you find yourself in Brookings, SD (and who wouldn't? :)) you MUST have a meal here! I heard that even Gordon Ramsey has been here and liked it! I will say that they have spiffed the place up since we were here last. It's warm and inviting and contemporary. These guys are really doing nice things here! As for my Cajun Burger, may I just say that when Husband talks about beef in this part of the country being special, I can truly tell what he means here. YUM! And I do like their mango chardonnay dressing. When you dine here, another must is they are known for their ice creams! Go for it, trust me! (sorry, no pic of that as it went bye-bye way too fast)

    Never had anything that wasn't good here. Do like the offset dining room for private meetings. Prices aren't extreme.
