    Was told if we visited the area we had to stop here. I was expecting an actual restaurant building, but love this so much more. Food Truck, Bar and bait shop with an option for indoor or outdoor seating. It was a beautiful afternoon so we chose to dine outdoors. The fish was fresh and perfectly fried as you order. The fries had a nice light batter and the Texas toast was buttered and grilled to perfection. A must stop if you are by Gavins Point Dam.

    A wonderful find !! We love good fish. The menu has something for everyone. A food truck set to a outdoor beachy atmosphere. A cute lil bar on sight serving adult beverages caps it off. I can't wait to come back for more. It's that DAM fun!

    Slushy wine.

    Great FISH with River-side atmosphere, friendly and fun. We could have split a walleye meal ...but we didn't! Great leftovers.

    Very unique place, just near the Dam and Missouri River. Fresh fish and cold beer. Beautiful outside dining area.

    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.

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.

    Decided to try this place as I was staying nearby on my way north. I love burgers, and since they…read morehad so many options, I figured I would grab a meal and take it back to the hotel. I ended up deciding to go in to order rather than online, as I had a few questions. Upon arrival, I went through the carryout door and inquired with the worker manning that register. He seemed like he didn't know what to do regarding taking a to-go order and directed me to the bar. I ended up ordering just a plain burger with pepper jack and the Cajun tots. While the place was pretty busy during the dinner rush, it ended up taking over 30 minutes to get my order. It seemed the carryout orders were taking much longer than expected, as I heard multiple people inquiring at the carryout area about why it was 10+ minutes after their pickup time. I ended up heading back to the hotel, which was only a mile away, so just a few minutes. Upon arrival, I started eating, and the burger and tots were ice cold. I could definitely tell they had been sitting for probably 5-10 minutes at the restaurant before I had been given it. To make it worse, there were about four teenaged workers just chatting up front and on their phones rather than assisting with the to-go orders. While the Cajun tots had good flavor, the burger just lost most of its zing since the bun and burger were cold. Reading the other reviews, I would agree this is a better place to eat in rather than get to-go orders.
