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.

I've been here with my family 5-6 times over the past few years as our daughter attends the local…read moreUniversity. Overall, pretty decent. But tonight was quite disappointing. My daughter and I each ordered off the special "summer BBQ" menu: I had the Memphis pork sandwich and she had the pork shoulder tacos. My sandwich was described on the menu as "served open-faced on sourdough". My plate arrived, and I could barely find the meat. Half a sandwich, with three small slices of dry pork with no BBQ sauce. Lots of waffle fries, and big cups of cole slaw and baked beans...but vanishingly little pork between two half-slices of what is best described as Texas toast. Yikes. Honestly it all tasted OK, but the relative proportions of items on the plate was ridiculous. And my daughter's tacos were straight-up not good...pork shoulder was tasteless and the accompanying pico de gallo was so wet the tortillas quickly became really soggy. My wife's pizza was the saving element of the family meal. So...disappointing food overall. We'll give it another try, but we'll be sure to order off the standard menu next time.

No steak was available but no signs at entry. They are known for steak. We didn't know this until…read moreafter we all ordered steaks and waitress came back (15 minutes later) and said no steak. Waited well over an hour for food to be delivered with only one visit by waitress. She didn't say what the wait and only brought 2 water refills. Food was acceptable, kids meals were piping hot. Couldn't discount due to wait, said they could remove one meal or give free desert. Asked for one to be removed. 15 minutes later another waitress said they couldn't remove a meal (because we were taking it home) so we ordered desert. 15 minutes later... we still are waiting for desert... Poor wait service. Poor communication. Poor compensation for lack luster evening. And jt was grandmas birthday.
