The food is a burgers/chicken and fries and tots. Ranch and Roost. It's a window service when u walk in and order from them when u want. They grind their own beef daily and it's smash burgers. We had just some fries but it was a huge cup of em'. If you've never had Mead... just try the fight choices, as it is super sweet and high alcohol content. Watch it:). They also have tap beers too. The space is surprisingly big and open. Lots of light with views of the Lake Lorraine. We will get the burger next time and go on Wednesdays.

Definitely check this place out, but you eat have to eat/ drink somewhere else first.

Luckily, they allow dogs inside! The place has great dive-bar vibes but the tap list and menu punch way above that. The staff was fantastic with out server being really friendly and helpful. Even gave our dog a treat. The beer was great, as expected. Their tap list rotates quickly so looks like there's always something new to try. The food was excellent as well. We just split a casear salad and some fries and left full. The price is great for the quality and amount you get. If I'm every back in SF you know I'll be back to see what's on tap and try some more food.

Our server was very friendly and attentive and gave great service. We had green bean fries as an appetizer. They were excellent. We ordered their Monk's Classic Double burger which was very juicy and amazing. I would definitely order this again. We also had the Alther pizza which was excellent too. The wait time for our food was pretty quick. This place has a fun atmosphere but not too loud. They have 50 beers on tap and you can just order by the number. I'm a dark beer lover so I ordered two different dark beers. The best one was the Drekker Smooth or Die Milk stout with peanut butter and chocolate flavors. It was so good that my wife ordered it for her second drink. They are willing to give you a sample if you aren't sure what to order. This place came highly recommended by our friends and it did not disappoint. We will definitely be going back.

I like going when it isn't busy so service is always accommodating. They have a few tvs if you want to watch a game and some outdoor seating too. Parking is small on the side but again never had an issue. This place is closer for me than the downtown location so I'll come here more often but this place is a bit darker with less windows or natural light than the downtown location.

One Sunday afternoon my husband and I found ourselves wandering around DTSF -- which, for…read morenon-locals, is the commonly used shorthand for Downtown Sioux Falls -- looking for a good burger place. And somehow we stumbled right into JL Beers. Or perhaps more accurately, the scent of burgers guided us there like a pair of hungry travelers following a greasy North Star. Either way, what a fantastic little find this turned out to be. The burgers were juicy, flavorful, and properly satisfying in the way a good burger should be. Not overcomplicated. Not trying too hard. Just well-prepared comfort food done right. The fries were excellent too -- crisp, well-seasoned, and dangerously easy to keep eating long after I was already full. The service also impressed me quite a bit. Even on a busy Sunday afternoon, the staff remained attentive, friendly, and efficient without making us feel rushed. One unexpectedly fun part of the visit was trying non-alcoholic beer options for the first time. My husband and I are not really drinkers, so this was a little adventure for us. The sparkling hop water was surprisingly refreshing and delightful, while the Athletic non-alcoholic beer leaned a little more bitter than my personal preference. Still, I appreciated finally getting to try some of the newer NA options people have been talking about lately. And honestly, this place wound up becoming one of our gateway restaurants into exploring more of DTSF afterward. We have returned several times since, usually combining it with walks around downtown and trying other local spots nearby. Now, of course, every local already knows the true final boss battle of downtown Sioux Falls: Parking. At some point you simply accept that you are either going to circle the block repeatedly like a confused migrating bird or surrender gracefully and use one of the nearby parking garages. Which honestly is not the end of the world. The walk is good for us. At least until winter arrives and the sidewalks become an Olympic slipping event sponsored by snow, ice, and regret.
