My coworkers have hyped this place up for the last two months as " the best sirloin they've ever had" 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. read more

Big Fella's Bar And Grill - Little fella - Bars Near Me - Aberdeen, South Dakota

Hidden gem alert, if you're in Aberdeen and haven't checked out Big Fella's Bar and Grill yet, you'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. read more

I hadn't eaten at Big Fellows in some time until a few weeks ago. The three of us in the party all ordered Prime Rib. The meal was totally excellent & same with the service. The Prime Rib was large and cooked/flavored to perfection & the BEST Prime Rib anywhere IMO, and I've had Prime Rib in multiple restaurants in some 10-15 other states. Thanks for the great service and totally awesome meal. read more

It was awesome will be going back for sure and the service was awesome thanks for a great burger

Service was great, food was great, price was fair, portion size was above average and I loved the atmosphere...

Food was excellent. Service slow but they only had 1 waitress. She was very nice and did a good job for being by herself

The food is fantastic huge portions and cooked by Stacy. I always enjoy going to have supper there. The service is great. The girls are usually the same so you get to know them. You just feel at home. read more

Wish we could of tried it. Went on a Friday night. To be fair it was opening weekend for pheasant hunting. Arrived at 7:23 pm, resturant closes at 9 and was told we couldn't be seated. The food looked good on the plates walking. read more

This was my second time eating here since moving back to Aberdeen. The first time, I had ribeye steak, which was delicious. This visit I had the brisket, which honestly was the best brisket I've ever had. It was so tender that it practically melted in your mouth! Great flavor, too!!! The service was very quick and friendly! I noticed other people getting burgers that were absolutely huge and looked awesome! I highly recommend this place if you're a meat lover or just love great food and a cool atmosphere! Definitely coming back and bringing others with me! read more

Yummy! Love the food here. The manager is awesome. If you like a good old bar and grill this is your place. Love it there.

We had a party of 12 for a busy Friday night. They were able to accommodate us. The food was delicious and there were very few plates that were not cleaned. Hope to make it back. read more

By far the best steaks in Aberdeen. I stay at the Hampton Inn connected to Mavericks steak house every three months for work. I go straight to Big Fellas no comparison in quality or price. read more

This place is awesome. The prime rib is the best in town. And monster sized burgers. They have a full bar and don't skimp on the booze. read more

The steak and prime rib were good but the salad bar was so small they could have skipped it. The did have two home made soups and the salad dressings (3) were home made. The waitress was attentive. They only have bottled beer and mixed drinks, no tap beer. Place is loud and our table was dirty from the night before. So, I doubt we will hurry back. The only reason for four stars was the good steak. read more

Great prime rib. Wish we lived closer to it. Would go far more often. Owners are on top of things. They seem to treat their staff well and that goes a long way when keeping good help. Anymore you cant keep good help if you're not treating them right. read more

Very bad service. Waitress treated someone else after us like a million bucks and forgot all about us even though we were there first. When we asked to talk to the owner he treated us worse then she did. We went another time before and the first time same thing we just thought it was a off night and thought we would give it another try. Nope same thing. Never going again. read more

I tried the 8oz sirloin and shrimp. It was Cooked perfectly and tasty as hell and the staff was super nice and prompt..

This place is a no fuss kind of bar (not suitable for kids) and I love it. Good place for burgers and cold beer. Looks intimidating at first (I was there around pheasant hunting season so a lot of hunters), but everyone was very friendly. My petite roommate accidentally ordered the Big Fella Burger? It was like 3-4 patties too much for her! Everyone passed by and had a laugh with her. I look forward to coming back. read more

For what it is (a bar in a pole barn East of town), this place is awesome. To the idiots waging the smear campaign, you need to re-think your position. This isn't a family restaurant, this is a bar. #parentsoftheyear read more

A very unique setting, but great food and service. Large servings, we had ribs and the prime rib, we all took food home! Don't let the front door entrance fool you....just push harder! read more

I love this place. It's a great local hang out. The workers and owner are very laid back and friendly. The burgers are spot on. I ate doubles back to back nights. If your in the area stop in! read more

Was a little off the beaten trail to find. From the outside, it didn't look like a restaurant but was pleasantly surprised how nice the inside was. Food was unique, excellent and served large portions. Friendly staff with great service and fair prices. Will go again if I get back to the area! read more

A friend went to this restaurant and was asked to wait OUTSIDE with their child because a customer complained about the baby fussing. This is April in SD and it's ridiculous. I totally get people disliking the way kids can mess up a night out when they get loud. I personally hate it, but this is something else. read more

Not impressed!! Had asked to switch our regular ff to waffle ff and they charged us 700... Def not worth it!!!! Next time their is a up charge if 700 for ff we should be told read more
