Food was great. Good selection of beverages but the service was really behind all day.

Dempsey's Brewery and Pubs nails that authentic Irish atmosphere so well, you half-expect a…read moreleprechaun to pinch your pint while you're not looking. The warm wooden digs and lively vibe make it a proper escape in Watertown, SD, though the only drawback is the constant buzz of chatter drowning out what should be some good ol' Dropkick Murphys tunes. I was particularly impressed by the great pastrami on homemade rye--tender, tangy meat stacked high on fresh-baked bread that could make even a New Yorker do a happy jig. Their bartenders are absolute gems, slinging drinks and banter with the charm of seasoned storytellers who somehow remember your name after one visit. One quirky touch is how the floors creak underfoot, like they're gossiping about all the pints spilled before you. Strangely enough, the soup of the day was tequila, a boozy curveball that had the whole place toasting with confused delight and empty bowls. The house brews hold their own, pairing like old friends with the hearty grub. All in all, Dempsey's is a witty, wonderful Watertown, SD gem.

Dempsey's is a Watertown stalwart for places to go eat and catch up with people. This place has…read morebeen around for a bit and everyone is familiar with the quality of the food and specifically their pies. During the stint back in Watertown I didn't make as many trips to Dempsey's as I normally would but the quality of the food hasn't dropped. It's always nice when you walk in you can smell pizza being baked in their oven (s). I usually land on their Dempsey's Classic that has Pepperoni, Italian Sausage, Green peppers, Black Olives, Baby Bella Mushrooms. I usually ask for them to add another 3 mins of cook time for the extra crispy and ensure the middle of the pizza is fully cooked. They have a variety of other unique pizza's to taste but I usually go with their Classic. They also have a variety of their own in-house brews that's always changing along with their standard taps. If anyone is ever visiting Watertown definitely add Dempsey's as a go to place to try out.

Walked here with my mom. Took only 20 minutes for food to arrive, but I didn't get any plates for…read moremy pan pizza!! I had to use napkins, but it's greasy as a McDonald's stovetop, so it practically made the napkin invisible. Ambience looked like an old 70's Pizza Hut, which was pretty swagger. I didn't love but I liked.

Tuesday(5-26-2026), we stopped at the Pizza Hut in Sisseton, SD and had such a horrible experience…read morethat I had to look up who the franchise owner/management company was that would actually be operating this store. First, the building is in terrible shape, the ladies restroom was closed for repair, which I get could happen, but the only other option was the men's restroom. The men's restroom was filthy - it appeared to have not been cleaned in a number of months. The young woman who took our order was friendly, but clearly was in need of training. Everything was self-serve, which in of itself is not unusual, especially as hiring has become very difficult, but the area was not clean. The tables had been wiped off, but we noticed that the whatever was left on the tables was wiped off onto the floor, which explains why the floor was also extremely dirty. The carpet looks as though it had not been cleaned in weeks. Upon walking across the carpeted area, my sandal stuck to the floor and my foot was pulled out of my shoe. Again, just horrible. I can't imagine that anyone would return to this restaurant, I know that I certainly would/will not. Quite frankly, I would be surprised to not get food poisoning - if the bathrooms are so dirty, I can only imagine how the kitchen looks. Part of the blame does fall on local management, but the larger blame falls on the franchisee holder. I did try to email the franchise owner, but the online email address is not accepting emails - not a surprise! Is this how the franchisee maintains standards? In a typical franchise contract, there are standards which must be maintained. Apparently Pizza Hut has lowered their standards or Comes Investments just doesn't care. Either way, I would never recommend this restaurant to anyone. My advice would be to get out of the food service business. Serving food to customers is a serious business and those who don't give a darn for food safety, infection control and customer service should not be in the business.
