We went here Friday evening, and it was great. I had the Pheasant Salad Sandwich, and it was one of…read morethe very best sandwiches I've ever had. My girlfriend enjoyed her fish 'n' chips. Very good beers on tap from Brookings-based Eponymous Brewing Company. We liked it so much, we came for breakfast on Saturday morning as well. We both really enjoyed the stuffed waffles. Decor/atmosphere is very nice. An extremely pleasant environment. I enjoyed sitting by the fireplace both times.

My boyfriend and I decided to dine here last night before a country concert. Our reservation was at…read more5pm and boy am I glad we had reservations two hours before the concert because this place was not ready for the crowd they were about to receive. I did appreciate that we were seated right away (reservations took priority over walk ins) but it took about 10 minutes before we were handed waters and menus. It then took 30 minutes before we received our appetizer to which we were then told the rest of our food was done at the same time. Typically, I don't prefer to eat my appetizer at the same time as my entree, but in this case I worried with how slow of service we were receiving I wouldn't see my entree for another hour. Almost all of our food was amazing. I ordered a house salad and the Fillet of Beef with mashed potatoes. My boyfriend ordered the chicken and wild rice soup and the prime rib. He said the prime rib wasn't anything to write home about but it did the job. Overall, service was slow but everyone was super nice. I think they just need to hire a few more people which I know is difficult to do. I really hope this place can find the help they need because the food is so good and I want to see this place continue to succeed.

What a fantastic place! It has a cozy vibe. We shared a booth near the bar that had a sense of…read moreprivacy to it. It was busy on a Saturday at 5pm, and was fully packed as we left. A motorcycle gathering had closed the street outside, so we felt very lucky to get a seat when we did. The tap list here is impressive. I was thrilled that they had so many ciders to choose from, including several from one of my favorite cideries, 2 Towns. My husband was happy to have one of his favorite imports, Kilkenny, which is hard to find in the US, and followed it up with a local beer from Fernson, Ears Up. We started off with a South Dakota specialty, Chislic. I asked our server if it was more authentic grilled or fried, and she said grilled. They were really good! My husband had the Bourbon Bacon Burger with garlic fries. He really enjoyed it. I snagged a fry and it was tasty, with bold garlic. I had the pork tacos. These were not small street tacos, but very filling full-size tacos. A bit messy, but our server left us plenty of napkins. When she came by to ask if we needed anything more, we asked for the check. She said it'd be right out, and asked if we'd like free mini cupcakes as a thank you. She commented they'd been short staffed. I must say, everyone in there was working hard (the boss came by to check with us several times) and we have no complaints, only compliments. We then shared two mini cupcakes, one vanilla and one red velvet. It was a sweet ending to a really great meal.

Good pub food and great service! The cheese curds are yummy and the beer selection is extensive.read more

Sorry to say that the deep fried appetizers, onion rings and mini corn dogs, looked burnt and…read moredidn't taste good. I sent them back and they came out just as bad. One cost $7 and the other one $8. After that I changed my mind and did not order an entree. I had to go back on my word that I was taking my grandson out for lunch. The place could have been a whole lot cleaner. I wouldn't say it was filthy but I wouldn't say it was clean. The menus were actually sticky and had food and gunk stuck to them. The waitress was perky and friendly and running around doing her best to keep everyone attended to. When I told her that the food she brought out was subpar and I wasn't happy with it, she said that it was fine but she would get me replacements. It was moments later she came back with food that looked exactly the same. I told her that I wasn't convinced it wasn't the same food... I swear it was just a burnt as burnt looking as before but it turned out she was right. This time the mini corn dogs were burnt on the outside and still frozen in the middle. My son-in-law, the chef, tells me that it was because the oil was old and rancid. Apparently this gives all food the appearance of being burnt with a bad taste. What I didn't appreciate was that I was asked to pay for food that anybody would have raised an eyebrow at and treated like I was the problem. The cook even came out of the kitchen and tried to nonchalantly check out who I was. When I met her I she gave me a dirty look and marched back off into the kitchen. Not recommended. I won't ever go back. If they don't know enough to know that they're serving people bad food or have the professionalism to own up to it when they have, then I have no time for them.

SECOND ROUND. we waited for those beers for over 20 minutes and when we did not receive them one of us went and asked if we could get our beers.

Yelp Review Prairie Lanes…read more We haven't been back in quite a few years now. Growing up in the Brookings community (the late 90s/2000s), we would often frequent this little family owned and operated bowling alley cafe. The food and drinks used to be of very good quality, but have since deteriorated as the years have gone by, much like the appearance of the whole building which, looks as though its coming down in some places. We've seen how dirty the kitchen has become, the off-putting odor of the establishment, and behind the bar was just as awful. All issues were a huge deterrent for us ever returning. I wouldn't recommend eating the food anymore. We've heard and witnessed the negligence of sanitation and food handling, if any protocol at all. During this particular visit, the man that made the food wasn't washing his hands at all before preparing pizzas or other food items. His hands and arms would be in slight contact with his clothing while preparing food items. Now days, there are gloves that are not latex or powdered, but he didn't wear any at all. Maybe, they're to cheap to purchase any?! Maybe, they don't know they even exist?! I would think that protecting customers from the germs on your hands would be a priority especially if you don't wash them! But, I shouldn't have expected that kind of standard, due to the conditions of everything. The bathrooms were horrifying! They smelled of urine and had a very odd and old reusable hand towel thing that has turned yellow/brown from the many years of people drying their hands on it. I decided to wait until we got back home to use the restroom. At this particular visit, there were the local alcoholics that seemed to flood the place and wasn't very pleasant. Disturbing, actually. I was scared to eat the food also, as I previously stated, there were no sanitation or food handling protocols in view. The tables were dirty and were sticky in some spots. Their glasses looked scummy, so I didn't even drink the water. The utensils seemed to be dirty as well. The soda machine looked as if it hadn't been cleaned in a year or two! There's rumor around town that there are new owners now so, maybe they'll make changes and update things? The whole place needs to be completely gutted. I hope that changes will be made for the better of our community, as there is a need for more entertainment. There isn't much to do here in Brookings for younger people as it is. We may return if word-of-mouth gets around that changes are being made.
