Her baked potato, my "Tin Taters", our Texas toast, my tortilla soup, her carrot cake, my cheesecake w/strawberries...all of it was simply magnificent. Good service, nice place to dine. Good, semi-local beers on tap. We will definitely be back!

This WAS our go-to steakhouse in the Sioux Falls area…read more And yes, I emphasize "was" sadly. Located about thirty minutes north of Sioux Falls in the small farming community of Flandreau, this little steakhouse became one of those hidden gems my husband and I found ourselves returning to whenever we had a serious craving for a good steak without dealing with the more corporate chain atmosphere back in the city. Unfortunately, the owner sold the restaurant earlier this year, and as of now no new buyer has reopened it. Which honestly makes me sad. There was something wonderfully unpretentious about this place. It was tucked quietly into a residential part of town near the local athletic fields and open farmland that stretch out with that classic small-town South Dakota feeling. You wouldn't necessarily expect one of the state's better steak experiences to be sitting there so modestly among homes and fields. But somehow, that made it feel even more authentic. The service was always warm, friendly, and deeply local in the best possible way. You never felt rushed or treated like just another table. It had that comfortable small-town hospitality where people genuinely seemed happy you came. And the steaks? Consistently very good. Were they the greatest steaks we've ever had in our lives? No. But they were reliably well-prepared, flavorful, satisfying, and honestly far better than many of the larger steak chains around Sioux Falls. The kitchen understood proper preparation and seasoning without overcomplicating things. There is a reason this place developed such a strong reputation over the years. The restaurant earned statewide recognition and frequently appeared in discussions of South Dakota's best steakhouses, drawing people from well beyond Flandreau itself. Including us. We happily made the drive many times because we knew we were likely going to leave happy. I truly hope someone eventually reopens the place and preserves what made it special. Small-town restaurants with genuine character, loyal followings, and heartfelt hospitality are becoming harder and harder to find.

Because I am a Celiac, I asked the restaurant,in advance, if they would be able to prepare the fish GF. They spoke with the chef and made it happen. So delicious! Thank you SVG !

I ate there tonight (8-17-19) with a friend. We were both impressed with the atmosphere, and wait…read morestaff. The food was good too. I ordered the onion rings, and pork belly appetizers. We both liked the onion rings, we got a small order and couldn't finish them, as the entrees came to our table sooner than expected. The pork belly appetizer was meaty and flavorful, though it was tough to cut even with a steak knife. It had a toothsome level of tenderness, it really needed to be cooked for a longer period of time at a lower temp. The fat still had an elastic stretch too it, which was kind of off putting. The pork belly was flavorful but would've tasted better with more of a smoke element to it. Our steaks, were delicious. I got the large cut Ribeye, he got the Sirloin. I struggled to finish mine, it's just that I got filled up with my salad, potato, pork belly, & onion rings first. It's a bit of a drive from Cherokee, Ia. a little over an hour, but worth the drive if you're looking for a new place to dine at. Nice decor, attentive wait staff, good food over all.

The chislic and birria tacos were outstanding, and the big frosted mugs with Take 16 beer were a perfect complement to the meal. The rye bread was the best I've ever had! The service was very friendly, making us feel right at home. The new owners are doing a fantastic job. I wish I could have eaten there every night. I highly recommend this place to anyone in the area!

We specifically traveled to the roadhouse with another couple this last Thursday (Ribs night). We…read morelove these small town gems and found everything about it to our liking. The service, food and atmosphere was top shelf with a wonderful small town vibe. Three of us ordered a full rack and one ordered a half-rack. Tender, fall off the bone with a mellow BBQ sauce that complimented the smokiness nicely. $3 draft beers sweetened the deal! We'll go back to sample other items on the everyday menu. Make a reservation for rib night so they know how many to make and not run short (which we understand happens often) and arrive early most any other night. Highly recommend this roadhouse!

Bergen Bar & Grill is hands down one of the best hole-in-the-wall restaurants I've ever been to!…read more Food: Do yourself a favor and order the filet mignon and wild rice -- and don't forget the side of 3 jumbo shrimp! My family has been coming here for years and we all order the same thing every time we come, and it's always phenomenal! The beef is SOOO tender, it literally melts in your mouth. And don't get me started on the wild rice. It's cooked to perfection and it's so buttery and flavorful. Atmosphere: Bergen Bar & Grill is a smaller restaurant that's first come first serve -- no reservations. You put your name and phone number on a notebook and they call you when your table is ready. Depending on the time you arrive, it can be a longer wait. However, they have a lovely patio where you can wait for your table OR you can hang out in your car. They do serve drinks on the patio which is a nice touch! One other thing to note, they are cash/check only. No credit cards so plan accordingly. Overall, I highly highly recommend Bergen Bar & Grill! You won't be disappointed.

My wife, her sister, my brother-in-law and I just finished dining here tonight…read more First of all, I have to say that it is a very established place that has been here since 1978. My wife's sister had the Chopped Sirloin plate with a baked potato; cooked just the way she likes it and still juicy and flavorful. My brother in law had the pan fried Walleye plate, also with a baked potato. The Walleye was well cooked with a light batter and no bones. Very delicious. My wife had the bountiful Seafood platter with a cod fillet, scallops, shrimp. All fried just right. I had the 14 oz Ribeye Steak cooked medium well just like I like it. Very tender, plenty of flavor and marbling. I'll have to eat that next time. "It's that good". We all had the baked potato and the free salad bar that comes with the dinner plates. The fresh bread brought to the table was homemade, hot, and fresh. By the way, the fresh cut salad bar and a potato are included with dinner. The service is very pleasant and friendly catering to our every need. The Brandon Steakhouse and Lounge has been around for 38 years as of 2016. Bob Miller the owner started this place back in 1978. They serve Lunch too. Give it a try. You can't go wrong.

This no-frills steakhouse specializes in dry aged beef, is James Beard award winning, has great cocktails, and still serves you a relish tray while you wait for your meal. For those of you under the age of 35, a relish tray, often consisted of carrots, celery, pickles, and cubed cheddar cheese like this one. They also will bring you some bread and butter if you would like. In my opinion, you should definitely opt for the tenderloin, but I'm not sure there is a bad steak option on the menu. They also have seafood and even sandwich sandwiches including a burger so there's something for everyone! It's family friendly and although the decor will remind you of your grandma's house, no grandparent I have ever met could put out steaks like this. Visit the ice cream capital of the world and make sure to save room for a steak!
