    Root beer float, Corn Pops, onion rings, chicken strips in bag.

    Service was fast and friendly and the food hot and tasty. Can't not get a root beer float, and was the star of the meal. We are traveling through on our way to IA, and this was a pleasant detour.

    My coworkers have hyped this place up for the last two months as " the best sirloin they've ever…read morehad" so I was excited to finally try this place. First off I will say the service is simply not good. I sat at the bar so I expected phenomenal service since the cook is right there. They seem to just work on slow motion and go at their own pace which is fine, but not when you're waiting there for 25 minutes for service. The food was honestly very bland and had 0 seasoning. The sirloin was just a bit piece of meat with no flavor at all. The tater tots were pretty solid, but it's hard to mess that up. The garlic bread was also pretty good aside from being burnt on the bottom. The "Side Salad" was just a few pieces of lettuce on a paper plate with a packet of saltine crackers. The price of the food is where it really gets bad. $30 dollars for a bland pile of meat and some potatoes is insane. If in going to pay that much money, I could just go down the street and get a much better steak at multiple places. I thought it was just me, but the people I went with also agreed with my sentiment. I'd like to give it another chance, but I simply cannot spend that amount of money to try it out again.

    Hidden gem alert, if you're in Aberdeen and haven't checked out Big Fella's Bar and Grill yet,…read moreyou're seriously missing out. From the second you walk in, you can tell you're about to have a solid, laid-back local bar experience. We got seated quick, drinks came out fast, and we kicked things off with some table onion rings perfectly cooked with that golden crispy outside and tender bite inside. Super good start. I went with the classic cheeseburger with raw onions honestly, that's all you need. I even forgot to add bacon and didn't miss it one bit. Someone at our table ordered the double cheeseburger and wow... easily one of the biggest burgers I've ever seen. Absolute unit. We also shared tater tots with cheese and grilled onions cooked perfectly, but the real star was that cheeseburger. Big, nicely charred on the outside, juicy and flavorful on the inside... legit one of my top five burgers I've ever had. Did I mention the free ice cream cone machine that's self serve? Tonight was lemon or vanilla or twist. We're already planning to make this a regular stop on the days they're open (Wednesday through Saturday if you're wondering). Do yourself a favor and swing by you won't be disappointed.

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.

What's particularly good this time, is they have upped there game with a new chef. The food wasn't bad before but now it seems like the taste of the dishes have been upped another level. The time i've been here to grab some food I would give the dishes 5 stars each. I tried their hamburger of the week, that was so good; probably one of the best i've had. They had a bacon jam, two types of cheese with one of them deep fried like a biscuit. Of course the buns were soft. What a stellar burger. Their pizza was almost as tasty as their burger and maybe not to that of Dempsey's but nothing to be ashamed at and I wouldn't hestitate to order again. They a variety of beers the produce and i'm not a much of a beer person but any of their wheat drinks are good. This place I would say would be better in winter but is a fine place to come and hang out for food and conversation and sometimes they have someone playing music which is a nice added touch.
