This dinner was another thoughtful gift from one of our daughters that my husband and I somehow took months to finally use. Life simply kept getting busy, but eventually we made our way over to The Attic West on a Friday evening. Apparently, everyone else in Sioux Falls had the same idea. The place was absolutely packed and the wait was quite long. At one point, we honestly considered giving up and going elsewhere, but since this had been a gift and we'd heard many locals speak highly of the restaurant, we decided to stick it out. One thing we've definitely learned while living in the Midwest is that bar-and-grill style restaurants are deeply woven into the dining culture here. Sioux Falls has many places with this sort of atmosphere, and honestly, we've adapted fairly well to it even though it differs a lot from some of the larger-city dining scenes we were used to previously. Unfortunately, the food itself just didn't quite work for us. We ordered steak, jambalaya, and buffalo wings. The steak, despite being ordered medium rare, came out drier than we would have liked and lacked much distinctive flavor. It wasn't terrible, but it definitely wasn't memorable either. The jambalaya was probably the biggest disappointment of the evening. It was overwhelmingly salty to the point where it became difficult to really enjoy the dish underneath the seasoning. The buffalo wings were acceptable enough, but again, they also leaned dry. Service was understandably stretched because of how busy the restaurant was, though the staff themselves seemed to be working hard under the pressure. Overall, this simply wasn't quite our cup of tea in terms of either the food or the atmosphere. I can understand why it appeals to many locals looking for a lively Friday night gathering spot, but for us personally, it probably isn't somewhere we'd return to. A 2 out of 5 from us. read more

It was a great experience at The Attic West today! My brothers and I ordered the chislic appetizer with two separate sides. We did two baskets and tried both fry options - attic ranch fries and sidewinder fries. Both were delicious and the chislic was perfectly cooked to order and tender. Nice atmosphere, friendly staff and a fast kitchen. They also offer a happy hour. I would highly recommend this bar and grill to anyone who hasn't tried it. Happy hour is Monday-Friday 3pm-6pm. $3.00 you call it drinks read more

Great service and amazing pizza! Highly highly recommend. First time here and I have no complaints

Indian Taco (Indian Tacos) that I ordered was tasted great! It was made with Frybread and the freshest vegetables around, I say that because the Jalapenos packed a punch! Our server, Rachel, made our experience comfortable, and fun...she joked with us, and made sure our food was made to order....i am very happy with how Rachel's service was 5 out of 5 stars....I know a great server when I see one. Thanks Rachel, and thank you Attic West for making my Southeast Technical College Graduation dinner memorable...

Had a great lunch there. I had a Caesar salad with shrimp. The shrimp were HUGE! The bowl was warm, which surprised me, but it didn't really affect the salad. My husband had a club sandwich. It was so big, he brought half home for tomorrow's lunch. Our server, Trevor, was friendly and efficient. We'll be back! read more

I liked the weekday happy hour (3-6 pm) with $3 beer, wine & cocktail "you call its." I also noticed daily drink specials and a burger & beer special. The service at the bar was accommodative. I noticed plenty of TVs, a Golden Tee game, a digital jukebox and a seating area with a mix of booths and chairs with classic rock and 80s background music. Overall, A-OK. read more

Went to lunch on Monday April 3. My mom had the house salad. I had the BLT and ranch Attic fries. Took a big bite of my BLT and had to spit out the bacon. Nasty over oiled bacon. Just awful. I couldn't finish the meal. But appreciated how clean the bathrooms were. read more

Awesome restaurant/bar in Sioux Fall, SD. The food, staff, and patrons were all amazing! I had one of their signature burgess that was to die for. It was accompanied by a ramekin filled with seasoned mayo to dip your fries in. Strange...yes! Delicious...absolutely! I would definitely return when I'm in town again for work. read more

I'll be back to rate eat in but take out nachos were superb! Generous portion, served in a medium pizza box and was STUFFED full. Was a meal and a half for 2 people, would have been a great app for 4 even. The chips were thin and crispy, the onions, tomatoes, and jalapeños were fresh and juicy. The ground beef was well spiced and not too greasy. Black olives and manchego cheese were welcome additions. The order taker on the phone asked me how far away I was so they could delay starting it till I was close. It was 9:30 at night and I was pleasantly surprised how fresh everything was. I know they have a established east side location and am glad to see them here on the west! read more

The food is SO good! The ranch fries give life meaning. The service is quick & friendly. I highly recommend this place.

Lemme tell you the fried egg roll bowl or whatever was the BESTTTTTT thing I've had new in a longggggg time. Wow. That was incredible. Disappointed I didn't get a photo. That's just fantastic. The wonton crisps are perfect so flaky and crispy. The cabbage was so good. The sauce in the rice bowl. I personally would've like more rice but I took the left overs made extra rice and finished off the rest later. So freaking good. Got mine with shrimp. She told me it was Cajun seasoning on the shrimp. The shrimp was amazing as well. I will be back for more within the week. read more

They have great food, good beer. Great service. The dragon slayer hamburger is fantastic.

Friendly staff, neat unique ambiance and decor. Great Chislic. All 4 of us got different meals and all were great.

Great service; food was decent. I had the Ruben and it was a little dry. Cheese curds were really good. My husband had the Buffalo burger. It came plain so he asked for grilled onions and jalapeños and that made it just right. read more

We had been here before and were not terribly impressed. That said, we stopped for lunch yesterday and had a fantastic experience. Our server was amazing (something hard to come by these days). Our food equally amazing. I had the Asian chicken salad. It was really fresh with great flavors. My hubby had boneless wings and he really enjoyed them as well. This place is one of the few options we have on the west side of town. We will definitely be back! UPDATE: Visited again. Two issues: 1. Ordered club sandwich- it wasn't great. Dry and weird shredded turkey. 2. Hubby ordered a tall beer and later ordered a short beer. Got the bill and they were the exact same price. Questioned server and she said she didnt work Sundays much and it was a Sunday football thing that she forgot about. Will give them one more try..... read more

This is a cool spot. A lot of options on the menu. I went with 6 people and everyone enjoyed their food. Large portions and good quality! Sweet atmosphere for hanging out. Would definitely recommend. read more

Great food with great friends. Server was great and the Halloween decorations were the best I'd seen in a restaurant in a long time!

I went to Attic West on June 1st for my sisters birthday (she choose it I didn't). We ordered a couple of beers then decided to get some appetizers. We ordered fried pickles and chislic. The fried pickles were good but the chislic was some of the worst I've had. We had a plate with 11 pieces on it for $12.00. I wouldn't complain but the pieces were small and chewy, totally not worth the money. At least the service was better than Attic East, witch isn't saying much because I was there 2 times (after the lunch rush) and the waitress forgot to put in my food order. Two times in a row, the same blonde haired middle aged waitress. Not ever going back there again. read more

Made a quick trip to Sioux Falls and stopped in for dinner before heading home. We enjoyed a great meal with great service. We had the fried Chislic for an appetizer with ranch and chipotle ranch dipping sauce. The steak had great flavor and was tender. I also just loved the (cute) tiny forks it was served with. You can also get them grilled if preferred. They seriously had a lot on the menu that sounded so good and it was hard to decide! Our waitress was very helpful in giving us recommendations based on our mood and what we liked. She mentioned they were kind of known for the Indian Taco so that's what I went with. It's not something I've had before and I really enjoyed it, especially with the addition of sour cream and queso. The taco meat had a slight spiciness, but it was not overpowering or too hot. The taco was huge and I couldn't finish it all even though I really wanted to. My husband went with the Drunken Wilbur burger with Attic ranch fries, cooked medium well per request. It was very good. Tons of flavor, cooked perfectly and the seasoned fries were also great. Overall, we had a very good meal and great service! If we lived in the area, I would definitely visit this place again. read more
