Cool atmosphere, our food experience was great-steaks were cooked as we like, clean environment too! A note on the old fashions: they are "lazy" old fashions (unmuddled-it's not an old fashion if nothings muddled-it's whiskey on the rocks with fruit at that point) in their defense they're $10-$15 old fashions depending on which one you get so gotta turn em out quick...the manager personally muddled mine for me when he asked how our experience was! The Attention was appreciated! read more

March 2026 Sioux Falls, South Dakota This place has a beautiful ambience. You enter and there is a warm and welcoming fireplace to the right when you enter. Straight ahead by a large open bar, you can see the meat on the rotisserie. Restaurant is large and cozy. Dark woods, modern lighting, many booths with ample seating. Floors are concrete and many nature pictures line the walls. This place has everything from handheld sandwiches to salmon and rotisserie chicken, a broad selection of appetizers and soups and salad salads. I ordered a Guinness draft and it came in a very large glass. Many tap beers to choose from. We ordered the woodfired chicken wings, a rotisserie chicken, which is accompanied with mashed potatoes and cornbread, and my husband also ordered a cup of corn chowder. The chicken wings I thought were delicious. The flavor is smoky and pepper. Not your traditional wing, but it includes the drumstick and the wing. You get six in total. It comes with blue cheese and ranch. My husband did not care for the wings. He thought they had too much of a pepper taste. My only concern was they were not served hot. They were barely warm when they got to my table. The blue cheese dressing was basically ranch dressing with a few dry blue cheese crumbles mixed in. Not a good flavor. The corn chowder was very mushy. It had the texture of baby food. He did not enjoy it. It also was served warm and not hot. Rotisserie chicken comes out with a thigh and drumstick of dark meat and white meat. However, the chicken is very dry. Taste like rotisserie chicken should taste But nothing special. The mashed potatoes are not creamy. But clumpy. They are red skin and I love when the skin is left on the potatoes. However, they taste like a baked Redskin potato with no salt, pepper, or butter. Flavorless. The cornbread has good flavor. But again, try. There is no butter to accompany it. Might taste good with some honey or butter on the side. I love the look and coziness of the restaurant. I wanted it to be fantastic. I was extremely disappointed in the food. I tried to make it work, but with the cold food and the lack of flavor, it was a big miss. When you take a bite of rotisserie chicken, and then you need to take a drink before taking your next bite of food, you know it is dry. When in Rome do as the Romans do. When in Sioux Falls Falls do not ROAM to this restaurant. I would not come back to this restaurant. I would give it 2 stars for the food. However, Darla was our waitress and she was very kind and attentive. She gets a five star rating. But the good service does not balance out the awful food. read more

The place itself had atmosphere. You could see it wanted to be appreciated, like a dog that rolls over and begs you to scratch its belly. The lights were just right, the tables set neat, and for a minute you thought, this might be a fine evening. Well, that dinner was about as memorable as a rerun of "Hee Haw" without the banjo. I must give credit where credit is due: that artichoke and chipotle dip was the lone bright spot of the whole evening. It was actually memorable--and not in the way the cold potatoes were memorable, either. That dip came out warm, smoky, and downright pleasant, the kind of thing that makes you forget for a minute you're sitting in a place where the meatloaf looks like it was cut with a hatchet. The Cobb salad looked like it had been constructed by somebody who once read about lettuce in a magazine. French dressing? More like somebody emptied a bottle of Kraft barbecue sauce on top and called it gourmet. Now the meatloaf--Lord help us. The potatoes were colder than my ex-wife's heart, and the sauce wasn't on the meat so much as it was near the meat, like it had been waiting on a bus for the last hour. They gave me three odd-shaped hunks of loaf that didn't look like they belonged to the same cow, let alone the same recipe. The peppers and onions were the only things that acted like they wanted to be eaten. My son and daughter in law fared no better, and I saw the look on their faces--the kind of look folks get when they realize they drove across town for something that could've been microwaved at home. Meanwhile the waiter continually looked like we were interrupting his plans to quit tonight. The manager--he was a good man. Came over, apologized like he'd personally set the oven wrong, and seemed like he actually cared whether we lived or died after that dinner. On him alone, I might saddle up and give the place one more chance. But next time, I'll be bringing a ham sandwich in the glove box--just in case. read more

My boyfriend got the brisket mac and cheese and it had very little meat on it, for the price it was not worth it. The people working there were decent but not overly helpful. The restaurant itself was very nice looking but the food quality did not meet expectations. read more

Stopped in for a late lunch with my husband. We were unprepared for a fantastic dining experience. Quality meal options for reasonable prices. Our server was attentive and honest with us, suggesting alcohol that other patrons enjoyed because he isn't old enough to drink yet. This is such a cozy restaurant and the warmth of the wood is unique. We recommend this to all visiting friends read more

I will start this rating with the service. The service was very good, I would give that 4 stars. Our waitress was very attentive making sure our drink were filled and that we had what we needed. Next is the Ambience, it was a busy Valentines day and the place was full but not loud or chaotic everything was smooth and calm. The Food is last. We had Brisket tacos for an appetizer and like every time before they were amazing and had me wanting another order of them. My entree was the Salmon and the flavor was very good the problem comes and the reason for the low rating is that the portion for the price they charge is very small. The portion was barely bigger that a hard boiled egg and for an entree that is way to small not to mention the price. Hopefully they will make the portions match the price they charge in the future. read more

Horrible staff and management. Will never be back. They were so rude to our group it was beyond belief. I wouldn't be this rude to someone on the street much less in my place of work where you're providing service to customers. read more

Food was amazing! My daughter enjoyed the "washed bourbon" old fashion with richer tones. She had the roasted chicken (plus yams) that was amazing. I enjoyed the pull pork sliders. Cornbread was delicious. Really, atmosphere, food and drink were outstanding. This restaurant is rated #1 on yelp and I understand why. read more

We loved this restaurant while visiting Sioux Falls, And our wonderful server Jennifer made some excellent suggestions we appreciated including the smoked orange old fashion, the bourbon salmon, and a salad with rotisserie chicken and wild rice. We concluded with an apple cherry bread pudding and were very pleased with our experience at this very good and inviting restaurant. Highly recommend. read more

The rotisserie chicken alone is worth the stop. Seriously good food, great service and a lovely atmosphere. We will be back.

Excellently executed rustic western design and feel. Their wine selection is well suited to accompany the menu and satisfy the tastes of red and white lovers. Cocktails seem equally appealing though I am not as well versed there. We sat at the bar to get in quick and have more chances for local conversations. That worked out well! Friendly fast service with professional presentation while never being pretentious. read more

Celebrated my soon to be father in laws birthday at ROAM! This place is great and it is very nice on the inside and the outside is even better! We had a really nice waitress who was great to be around but there were some wrong orders that were brought out and an item or two that weren't supposed to be on the receipt. It really was not a big deal because our waitress was awesome but I'll still put it on the rating. The food was good but I wouldn't say it was as good for the prices. The lamb was lukewarm and it also did not have that much flavor alongside the macaroni and cheese. Everything else hit the spot and I will definitely say the ribs is WHERE ITS AT! Definitely order the ribs when you go. I will be going again in the future. Overall I rate it a 3.5! read more

Good atmosphere when you walk in and I came back as I had been here before but boy what a difference... The staff seemed to be mad they had to come in to work. Might have had a couple staff make eye contact or even smile the whole time I sat at the bar. Cobb salad was ok but aged lettuce was mixed in with the fresh stuff and ranch dressing appeared watered down as it was very "runny" Had an after dinner drink and the Pepsi used to mix it had no carbonation. Might give the place another chance next time I'm in town (maybe) read more

Stopped in for dinner on our road trip and was very impressed with the quality and taste of our food. Outstanding and highly recommend!

Arrived at the location at 7:30 with reservation, sat at 7:40 and placed our order at 7:50. We finally got our meal at 9:00! Look, I can understand being backup in the kitchen, I can understand waiting for food like any restaurant. But the thing is, we waited and waited and WAITED for more than 1 hour 30 minutes just for someone to come back and tell us that we're the 8th ticket still. Mind you, we didn't have any communication or status of when our food was suppose to arrive. Respect to the server and manager for being nice and adjusting the bill. But biggest thing to do for your customers who are waiting, communication. If you keep up updated, we can still look forward to it. Food 10/10, Service 7/10, and Atmosphere 8/10 read more

Visited while in town for a training. Bourbon and BBQ, what's not to like? Quality is what they strive for here. I started with the Corn Chowder which has little pieces of Chicken. Creamy, warm, and delicious. Main course was Bourbon-Glazed Salmon. Salmon sat on a bed of Veggies, then Smashed Potatoes surrounded by a creamy lemon gravy. Nice and lemony. Salmon was cooked and glazed to perfection then topped with a charred lemon. The service was great. I was quickly seated and served. The restaurant is very roomy with several large booths and tables. The environment is not noisy or bustling. Great place to visit because the menu will offer something for just about anyone. read more

Very good food, I had the pastrami sandwich and it was amazing, flavors were absolutely perfection! We had my one year old nephew with us and they were so good with helping us get him crackers and crayons, etc...Our waitress was outstanding. There was live music too, a gentleman was playing guitar and singing familiar tunes and even some of his own. Not one of us left dissatisfied with our meals! read more

Service was average. Time waiting for food was longer than expected, especially since there were less than 5 tables seated when we arrived. The atmosphere is nice as is the decor. The food was average. They don't really allow any substitutions for sides, at least we were told we could not, we had to stick to the menu. Most choices were covered in some kind of sauce and this place really likes sugar, so be prepared for that. Even their ranch is very sweet. I had the rotisserie chicken, flavor was good, but it was overcooked and dry. My friend had the brisket, once again overcooked and dry. Prices seem too high for such low quality preparation. Doubtful I'd ever come back as there are many better options for expensive food in Sioux Falls. read more

Happy Hour! We had just one short night in Sioux Falls and we sure picked the right place when we discovered this awesome restaurant. The Happy Hour prices are terrific for both food and drink and everything was really good! Just might be the best wings I've ever had. They're smoked, spiced beautifully and have just the right amount of heat. Four big beautiful wings for $10. Husband had the Brisket tacos which he liked. And we shared the Artichoke, Spinach, Green Chile Fondue which we both loved. Each of us had a happy hour priced drink as well. Atmosphere is comfy. It's huge, so there's plenty of room if you've got a large group. And our Server took great care of us...even to the point where she ran after us in the parking lot because Husband had left his prescription sunglasses. Highly recommend! read more

We asked people in advance where to go for dinner and pretty much everyone said Roam. I am here to say that this might be the best restaurant in the entire state of South Dakota. I have struggled for years to find a restaurant in SD that I would give 4 stars to, let alone 5. Everything I had was excellent. The wings were fantastic, the service was amazing (Kiana is a keeper), and the decor was awesome, although we chose to sit outside. All of this made it a 5 star experience, but THE BEST part was it happened to be Whisky Wednesday. Holy sh!t, I'm in heaven! $3 off every whisky drink. The Old Fashion I had was perfect. I'm coming back. I might drive the 2-1/2 hours JUST to go back. Thanks, Roam! read more

Tried this out after looking at reviews and honestly we were underwhelmed for the price. Here's the good, bad and the meh. Jalapeño poppers were good but overpriced for only 3. Fiesta bbq platter the pulled pork, brisket and ribs were good chicken and meh. Got the roasted Brussels sprouts which were underseasoned and steams not roasted, Mac & cheese was meh.Ribeye was underseasoned and over cooked ordered medium and got well done. Highlight was the toasted coconut tequila signature drink. Service was meh we asked for more timw to look over the menu and waitress came back 10 minutes later. Food came out about 15 minutes later. After glue got out food we didn't see the waitress again until we got our check. Maybe our standards are too high but we expected more for the price. If you're looking for a local place check out The Dive, also local well seasoned and 1/4 the cost. read more

The service was amazing the staff was friendly and gracious the food was great we had the brisket dinner the brisket was delicious and tender there burgers were delicious read more

A great option for food and drinks if you're in the Sioux Falls area. They have an open range rotisserie and plenty of space to sit inside or out the patio. The brisket tacos we're good and a good choice for apps. I got the half rotisserie chicken and I highly recommend it. The mac 'n cheese side was just meh...but the cornbread with honey butter was good. The BBQ chicken wrap was also good but in hindsight would probably try other items on their menu. Friendly hosts and even better service by the wait staff. read more

When I was staying in Sioux Falls I discovered this amazing restaurant. It has a great rustic decor and a llot if great menu choices. I wish I could go back to try the rotisserie chicken but when I ate there it was lunch time so I ordered the brisket sandwich with the glazed carrots. Service was excellent and was quick. The brisket sandwich was very good and the glazed carrots a healthy and tasty complement to the sandwich. I highly recommend Roam and really enjoyed my lunch there. read more

Had a pretty bad experience here. Was told I had to sit at the bar. Then was treated like I was dumb for not wanting alcohol from the bartender. My waitress/bartender spent mos of her time on the phone. I could've been in and out in 20 minutes but was there for over an hour and a half just waiting. The Cubano was recommended to me but was just smoked pork on Texas toast. I ordered the warm skillet brownie with melting ice cream and the skillet came out cold with the brownie at room temperature. Couldn't eat it. Pretty disappointing place. read more

5 Stars Review by Courtney ROAM Kitchen & Bar is a very nice establishment! You get a cool vibe the moment you walk in--the atmosphere is warm and inviting. One of the first things you'll notice is the aroma of chicken roasting, and let me tell you, it smells delicious! This place is definitely family-friendly and has a great, welcoming feel. The kids' menu has a good variety and is reasonably priced. We've visited ROAM a few times now and have tried several items off the menu. Everything we've had has been really good! It's clean, well-staffed, and the service has been great each time. Whether you're bringing the family or planning a date night, ROAM is a solid choice. I highly recommend checking it out--and if you do, come back and let me know what you think! - Courtney read more

Roam was my favorite restaurant after moving from California to Sioux Falls. Sadly, I always order the Brisket of Beef, (usually delicious,) but the last 3 times I have come with a friend or date, the meat was dry and burnt. I warned the waitress last night about my experience and said I wanted the meat to be tender, not burnt. She brought me a plate of blackened meat that was too tough to eat. I returned it and she brought me 4 tiny pieces of meat that tasted like beef jerky, no cornbread at all. The manager came over and finally gave me some fresh meat with another tiny piece of cornbread, but at that point, I was not hungry. I am so disappointed that I will not return unless they pay heed to this review. They have never offered a discount after all this. read more

First the positive, it was a busy night and we sat at the bar. Courtney was working bar and was phenomenal. She's the only reason this isn't a 1 star review. Basically the food was terrible. The ribeye was not restaurant quality. More like 12.99 a pound at the grocery. Ordered medium rare and delivered purple and bloody in the middle. This place should fire the chef and give Courtney a raise. unless there's a market for charging 40 bucks for a 13 dollar raw steak in Sioux Falls. Also good - get the bacon Manhattan - picture attached. Delicious. read more

So close to being great! A few things that a restaurant of this type should be better at. We ordered the chips and guacamole appetizer. The chips could have been warmed and it looked the guacamole had been in the bowl for a day.. salmon was good, roasted red potatoes were warm at best, same with the broccoli/onion side. The brisket was good, not great and the corn bread cold. All fixable. Someone just needs to pay attention. read more

Service: Good, but not exceptional. No points deducted for service. Food: First of all, the second you walk into this beautiful restaurant, the amazing smell of smoked meat hits you. Your expectations are instantly set. I ordered the smoked braised lamb shank. It was very tasty, no complaints in the taste department. It was a pretty small shank, which is fine. But for $33, I expected more than an ice cream scoop size serving of mashed potatoes and 3 medium sized carrots cut in half. Portion sizes compared to price could have been better considering the potatoes and carrots are the cheapest part of that dish. The real problem we had was the beef brisket my wife ordered. I actually think the price compared to portion sizes was acceptable on this. The house BBQ sauce that came on the side was really good. The smoke and seasoning was really tasty. That being said, damn was it crazy dry. Everyone knows the most important thing about smoked brisket is the moist rendered fat in it. My first brisket I ever smoked in my life was more juicy than this brisket. It was bordering on thick cut tender jerky. read more

Such good food! Great atmosphere, friendly staff, clean, modern. This will definitely be a must-stop place when we are in the area!! Our waitress was knowledgeable and if she didn't have an answer she found someone who could answer our questions and give recommendations. Large menu but not overwhelming. Something for everyone! LOTS of gluten free options. read more

Took my family there. There were 9 of us. 8 of the 9 had something wrong with the order. One of the orders was not what was ordered. We were told that the food was screwed up because they were training new staff. I guess they thought that was acceptable, I did not. I LIKELY WILL NEVER EAT THERE AGAIN. read more

Had me waiting at their restaurant for 20 minutes to pick up a door dash. Host didn't update me at all.

I have had some inconsistent service experiences when I have visited Roam. The good news is, the food and the service has been improving every time I go there. I will say that you might want to consider how much time you have and how quickly you need to eat before you schedule dinner. If you're starving-don't go. The service and atmosphere tends to lend itself to a more relaxed and 'no rush' type of eating experience. Which is great if you have the time. However, If you need to get in and out in a decent amount of time, consider going when you have more time. Just fyi. As far as the food, I don't recall ever having anything terrible so it gets a thumbs up. It's a Beautiful place. Great atmosphere. You can sit inside by the fire, or outside on the patio. Most of the patio is covered so you have the option of sunny or not. Regarding inside, they actually have at least 2 different fireplaces. So it raises the ambiance level tremendously. Is it my favorite restaurant in town? no. But the fact is, I always go back. read more
