Her baked potato, my "Tin Taters", our Texas toast, my tortilla soup, her carrot cake, my cheesecake w/strawberries...all of it was simply magnificent. Good service, nice place to dine. Good, semi-local beers on tap. We will definitely be back!

This WAS our go-to steakhouse in the Sioux Falls area…read more And yes, I emphasize "was" sadly. Located about thirty minutes north of Sioux Falls in the small farming community of Flandreau, this little steakhouse became one of those hidden gems my husband and I found ourselves returning to whenever we had a serious craving for a good steak without dealing with the more corporate chain atmosphere back in the city. Unfortunately, the owner sold the restaurant earlier this year, and as of now no new buyer has reopened it. Which honestly makes me sad. There was something wonderfully unpretentious about this place. It was tucked quietly into a residential part of town near the local athletic fields and open farmland that stretch out with that classic small-town South Dakota feeling. You wouldn't necessarily expect one of the state's better steak experiences to be sitting there so modestly among homes and fields. But somehow, that made it feel even more authentic. The service was always warm, friendly, and deeply local in the best possible way. You never felt rushed or treated like just another table. It had that comfortable small-town hospitality where people genuinely seemed happy you came. And the steaks? Consistently very good. Were they the greatest steaks we've ever had in our lives? No. But they were reliably well-prepared, flavorful, satisfying, and honestly far better than many of the larger steak chains around Sioux Falls. The kitchen understood proper preparation and seasoning without overcomplicating things. There is a reason this place developed such a strong reputation over the years. The restaurant earned statewide recognition and frequently appeared in discussions of South Dakota's best steakhouses, drawing people from well beyond Flandreau itself. Including us. We happily made the drive many times because we knew we were likely going to leave happy. I truly hope someone eventually reopens the place and preserves what made it special. Small-town restaurants with genuine character, loyal followings, and heartfelt hospitality are becoming harder and harder to find.

They have some gluten free treats but I didn't try anything today. Everyone at my table enjoyed their food.

After planning to meet someone at Old Market and finding out they were closed that day, my lunch…read moredate suggested this cafe. She had been here several times before and was a fan, but this was my first time. I perused the menu, but she kept recommending the pasta. It's actually a pretty neat menu; they have a pasta dish for different regions of the world. The French pasta is Spinach Dill, the Greek pasta has tomatoes and feta and black olives, etc. So that's cool. I ordered the Greek pasta and thoroughly enjoyed it. I asked for the half portion and I still couldn't finish it, so you could easily share a plate with someone if you wanted to. The other perk of my meal was the water. It's self-serve and has cucumbers and/or lemons in it. Nummmmmmmy! The dessert was magical. My lunch date picked out some baklava and shared it with me. Good gracious... like a celebration of cinnamon! Four stars for the food, five stars for the desserts, but ultimately I went with a three-star rating. I value "the experience" at a restaurant, including the ambiance and decor and vibe, and a cafe attached to a children's museum (although awesome) does not leave me inspired. That being said, it's great that they have such a fine quality eatery available for the families to eat at after a day at the museum!

The food is decent, though the spice level is a bit lacking for my taste. Thankfully, the chili oil/sauce on the side helps make up for that. The restaurant itself is on the smaller side and seems to cater more to the takeout crowd. The staff is friendly enough, but the overall demeanor and service seem less welcoming if you choose to dine in. Overall, a decent option when you're craving Chinese food in Brookings, but there is certainly room for improvement, particularly when it comes to spice and the dine-in experience.

I've ordered dozens of menu items for takeout and have never been disappointed. Their portions are huge and the price is low. A $7.35 entree will feed two people full, or one person 2-3 separate times. The house specials are less than $10 and have easily fed me for 3 separate meals on one purchase. The buffet is great, but you'd be doing yourself a disservice by not ordering takeout at least once. That is where the chefs really shine.

My first issue is the menu, the lady will not let you order off the menu during buffet unless you're doing takeout, which to me makes no sense. Next the lady that is usually at the front isn't very pleasant, she doesn't greet you or respond when you say thank you because I was trying to be polite. I feel like she doesn't care how she treats the customers because it's the only Chinese restaurant within 30 miles.
