Had dinner at the Klondike Tavern in St. Helens and it was exceptional from start to finish - I'm…read moretalking really, really good. I ordered the pasta bolognese and a seasonal lemon drop, and both were genuinely the best I've ever had. The bolognese was rich and perfectly balanced, with deep, slow-cooked flavor and pasta cooked exactly right. Every bite felt thoughtful and well executed. The lemon drop was just as impressive -- bright, fresh, and not overly sweet, with a clean citrus finish that made it hard not to order another. The atmosphere strikes that ideal balance of relaxed and refined, and the service was attentive with a splash of "feels like home." Everything was clearly itemized on our bill, and there were no surprises. It's clear they care about quality and providing a complete dining experience beyond a great plate of food. Large portions, delicious food, well-made cocktails, solid service, and a unique setting compelled us to tip handsomely. It was a great experience. If you are in St. Helens, this place is worth your time. I'll absolutely be back. We left genuinely impressed!

So Friday night we came down and had Klondike. And I ordered this lovely egg nog seasonal mocktail drink and then we ordered food, and I had a Mac and cheese with I believe pulled pork? Or brisket? Idk, it's some magical long cooked meat, and pickled onions and i believe I had him add a stupid amount of jalapeños cause I love spicy. I can't even tell you what my wife ordered, honestly I was so into the flavor of the food, and how savory and high quality it was.... She may as well have been invisible lol We had the best waiter, forgive me cause I can't remember his name. But his energy was radiant. And he asked me if I wanted a free refill on the nog, and I said "oh I didn't think this came with a refill, but I'd love one" he ended up grabbing one, and told me it was his mistake it actually wasn't on the free refill part, but he covered it on the house cause he saw how much I loved the first and since he had gotten my hopes up with a second he wanted to take care of me on the house.... It worked out well for him when bill came lol I love when people do this kinda stuff. Also his personality was like an infectious happiness.... Gosh I wish I knew who it was... Anyways.... The food here is awesome, and the staff is great. And I don't drink but they have a huge bar. And a Hell of a specialty cocktail list.

It took 30 min for our order to be ready. When we asked to check on it we were brushed off with a "oh we're super busy"; the waitress didn't even pause. Food is standard pub fare; nothing exciting. The chicken sandwich was two chicken tenders, not even a complete piece of chicken which felt low effort. We were maybe 3/4 through our meal when they asked if we were finished and if they can clear our table even though we were clearly still eating. Felt like they were rushing us despite the restaurant not being full. After we were done, the check came immediately but then no one came to collect the credit card. Altogether very poor service. Would not return.

After a while her regulars came in, so it's definitely a spot that locals frequent. I love that it truly is a diner feel. I got a cup of coffee (no fancy business here and I loooved that). The food was honestly so cheap! Lots and lots of it and we didn't pay that much at all. I got a standard breakfast with pancakes the size of the plate haha and sausage and eggs. The food was okay, but honestly for what we paid, no complaints at all! It was typical diner food. Definitely a cute breakfast place to check out. Portions were massive and it kept my giant husband full for our hike haha.

The staff do a great job of turning tables so the wait is not as long as you would think. The waitress was so kind and friendly and brought us coffee and green tea and then took our order.

The special was French toast but with a banana nut bread that made it feel like a dessert! The sausage was just as great and gave that perfect balance of salty sweet.

I REALLY wanted to love this little place under the new management. I hadn't been in since 2022…read more(out of the way for me). However, the owner made a Facebook post as a "call to action" for the community to support small businesses and I did just that. My experience: Upon entering the store/cafe, no one was working. I looked around and stood at the counter quite a while before the owner and an employee came out from the back. There was someone mopping who made eye contact with me, but never said a word. It was a bit uncomfortable... like I was a bother. I let them know that I saw the Facebook post and was there to purchase something. Under the old owners, the pies were delicious. I opted for a peach (very little inventory/choices available). I was extremely disappointed. $26 for a pie that was not very good. As well as, I felt the environment was less than welcoming. Now mind you, I made a special trip there because of her post which she voiced struggle. So, I asked if I could give some "feedback". Getting as much feedback from the community is imperative to the success of ANY business. Unfortunately, she said she was too "raw", gave me her business card, told me I could text her and walked away. I did feel for her which is why I was there trying to support the store. When the owner walked away, the employee apologized to me and it sounded as if others also have tried to offer feedback/support, but resources weren't being utilized. I walked out feeling like it was a wasted trip, wasted money and a wasted opportunity for the owner to gain a loyal customer. I paid $26 for a pie that was very overpriced; soggy with canned peaches that hadn't been drained well enough. I was disappointed. Like I said, I really wanted to love this place. But unfortunately, it was a one star experience for me. I realize I risk unsavory opinion of me personally regarding this review from the community. However, this truly is meant to help both patrons and the owner. I wish the Yankton Store and Restaurant the best of luck and success going forward.

The chicken fried steak arrives golden-brown with just the right amount of breading, That gives way to a tender, well-seasoned steak thats complemented with the richness of the gravy. Speaking of the gravy, it's a creamy, peppery masterpiece. Generously ladled under the steak, it's thick enough to cling to the meat but not so heavy that it overwhelms. The gravy with black pepper and Sausage, adds the perfect balance. The portion size is generous but not overwhelming, leaving you comfortably satisfied. This Chicken Fried Steak is the epitome of comfort food, done right. It's the kind of meal that makes you want to linger at the table to finish each and every delicious bite. If you're on the hunt for the best chicken fried steak, this one is absolutely worth seeking out.
