    Walleye basket
    Matt J.

    Tried the hand breaded walleye basket and the fish was fried perfectly. Great atmosphere and the service was excellent. Very reasonably priced as well. Will definitely stop by if I'm ever in the area again.

    Service was horrible. Walked in and was never noticed. Tables were dirty and nothing was picked up. Don't recommend. Save your money.

    Great burger and prices were very good. Game day specials on drinks and food. Even with a packed game day crowd the service was first rate.

    We all ordered burgers and were really happy with them. Thick, juicy, cooked to order. Clean restrooms and friendly staff. We will be back!

    Terrible. I ordered a chicken sandwich and it was literally a chicken PATTY. So gross. Greasy. Overpriced. Will never go back.

    Bunyan's remains my last stronghold for good food in a one horse town. Asian Buffet is no more so I am now down to only one place.

    Dakota Brick House - My Chicken Dinner

    My daughter, Crissy, and I "loved" spending an evening at Dakota Brick House during our quick trip…read morethrough Vermillion, South Dakota. The weather was perfect, so we sat outside, enjoyed drinks and appetizers, and met the friendliest people, including our waiter. Sadly, I did not ask him his name, as he was amazing and he deserves a raise. We were there on Saturday, August 10 in the early evening. Everyone who checked on us during the evening exceeded all our goals. On our next visit to Vermillion, I will include the Dakota Brick House just because of the staff and the guests. We ordered a margherita pizza, with hunks of mozzarella cheese, diced tomatoes, chiffonade basil, and house-made pizza sauce to share. Not only was it delicious, it was just the right size for two women to share comfortably. Crissy was in charge of selecting the restaurant, and we both enjoy pub atmosphere. She was drawn to the patio so we only walked through the indoors but I really liked what I saw.

    My wife and I are here in South Dakota for a wedding and we were researching where to eat when we…read moregot to Vermillion, SD. We decided this is the place! We started with the Big A$& Pretzel! Wow!! The actual best pretzel with beer cheese we've ever had!! We also ordered a taco pizza and it was amazing!! Sooooo...let me tell everyone who is reading this...the food was amazing!!! 5 stars for sure!!! HOWEVER, I did have to go up to get us utensils and napkins. Our server never came to ask how everything was and was asking her boss when she could go home when we were still sitting at our table. An employee eating at the bar out of her Tupperware container at the end of the bar in front of the restaurant was a tad interesting....I've been to A LOT of places to eat and found that a little odd (eat your meal from home in the break room! Not in front of the entire restaurant!), I've never seen that before. I do love the atmosphere of this place, the food was amazing...I'm thinking the management might need to tighten up a bit though. This would've definitely been a 5 star review if it wasn't for the lack of customer service and disregard of customers in the restaurant.

The decor and vibe of the restaurant was well done. Updated and well decorated. The waitress seemed put out we were there, unfortunately she was training another waitress, continuing to train the same bad habits. We had to wait about 10 minutes between each visit she paid to our table. There were a few times I had to get her attention or find her because she kept walking by our table without stopping or acknowledging us. The food looked good and tasted...okay. My wife got pulled pork which was not fresh. It was obviously re-heated from a prior day. Had a weird aftertaste. The best things were the buffalo spring roll appetizer and the milkshakes. The waitress did discount our order due to our dissatisfaction with the food. This was good customer service. The dirty trays were never removed from our table. The trainee could've easily done this since she was hanging out at the bar talking for most of the time. This isn't necessarily her fault. This is a training and management issue. This place should be packed every day it's open. It was less than half full when we were there for dinner. This is probably due to the bad things we experienced. Management needs to step up. You're robbing yourselves, your employees, your owner and your community of something good.

    **UPDATE: This review was posted for the Roadhouse located in Orange City, IA and NOT for this…read moreparticular restaurant located in Vermilion, SD and which I have NOT yet been to. ** Not much for dining options in Orange City, IA these days. The two terrific places I'd normally recommend are both gone. Think of the Roadhouse as the new man standing and standing only because there isn't much else standing around it! Food is average to above average. Average selection of beer and wine. The service and staff are the weak links in the chain, and, ultimately, why I couldn't give this place a more than 'average' review. The 'bartenders' are anything but. I was a bartender and server for years. The female staff of this place are lazy and more interested in gossip than in their customers. The male members of the staff were busy throughout and seemed much more attentive to their job than worried about anything not related to it. Good for them! I wish one of the men here would have been my bartender rather than the two women who didn't know what Tabasco sauce is or the one who told me that they "just don't have a need to have it!" You're a bar/restaurant and you don't have a need for Tabasco sauce!? If it weren't so sad and true this would be comedic! Bottom line: I'd not go out of my way to come here again. I could recommend many other places to go to in or near this neck of the woods. The Roadhouse is doomed for failure on its current course of mediocrity in both food and service. It thrives now because there is not much else for competition. Once a new player arrives that offers excellent food, outstanding service and a truly welcoming atmosphere the Roadhouse is sure to find itself as a relic left in the dust rather than a prosperous and sought after place to satisfy even the most modest foodie. If I were the Roadhouse owner I'd heed warning and get first your staff under control and go from there. If not, they will surely be the iceberg to your Titanic.
