We…read moreheaded upstairs to the deck, which has a really nice atmosphere and was a great place to enjoy dinner. Our waitress greeted us almost immediately and was friendly and attentive throughout the meal. We ordered the nachos, chislic, and a Cobb salad, and everything was spot on. The Cobb salad was fresh, and the blue cheese dressing was especially good. The nachos were a pleasant surprise--they use real melted cheese instead of queso, and they were loaded with toppings. Being from out of state, we were told we had to try the chislic since it's a South Dakota staple. It reminded us a little of Chinese-style spare ribs in flavor. It was definitely tasty, though a bit chewier than we expected. Even so, we're glad we tried it and would recommend it to anyone wanting to experience a local specialty. Overall, great service, great food, and a fun atmosphere on the rooftop deck. We'd definitely recommend Cubby's if you're in Brookings.

Cubby's has a rooftop and I'm a sun lover so that's where we sat. We ordered Thai nachos. They were delicious! Service was fantastic, fast and friendly.

It was the weekend and breakfast appeared to be served all day. The menu is old-school and no-nonsense -- simple diner staples and exactly the kind of items you would expect from a place like this. The food itself was excellent and easily the highlight of the visit. There is not much in the way of ambiance, and the restaurant itself is fairly small, so it can get loud when busy. That said, the service was quick and genuinely friendly. Overall, a solid classic breakfast spot that focuses more on good food than atmosphere -- and honestly, that works just fine here.

We asked for a pitcher of water since all our glasses were empty and she snapped that she was already going to get one. She was laughing and talking to people at the bar and didn't even glance our way when we needed something or when we were done. Our order was wrong but we weren't about to say anything since this lady clearly already had an issue with us. We sat waiting for our check for 15 minutes as we all watched her walk to the bathroom. We finally walked up to the bar to pay just so we could get out of there after 2 hours!!!
