    Very good Rib eye and Filet Mignon. probably top 5 ever! Perfectly cooked. The service was good and the atmosphere was pleasant. The lights were a little too low and the prices are a bit high for the area, but money well spent!

    Good food and service. A little expensive but not outlandish. This place is our go to when we head for our lake cabin.

    I would normally give this 3 stars anywhere else, but relative to other restaurants here in…read moreWatertown, I bumped it up an additional star. There's plenty of parking on the street or the parking lot adjoining. Approach is open and the door is obvious. Ambiance inside is interesting; open area, semi-dimly litt with the bar to left and more table and booth seating to the right and there's a step down separate room for private events, further underpins the steak joint atmosphere. The menu options covers land, sea and air and my paaps and I landed on air and myself went with turf. The meat dish the filet oscar was perfectly cooked to medium rare with lobster, shrimp, asparagus topped off with hollandaise sauce. The chicken breast was the same quality and the dad added a side of wild rice. Wine menu is descent for the area and I ended up with a pinot that was a nice accompaniment to the steak. I've been coming to this town for quite some time and didn't know about this place, so will add it to my go to place and would recommend to anyone looking for a descent, quiet restaurant here in Watertown.

The mushrooms and onions were barely cooked they were just like seared from raw on a hot griddle which is not but that's supposed to be and one of the bartenders or servers was clearly drunk kept taking my food and drink away while I was actively enjoying it

The warm wooden digs and lively vibe make it a proper escape in Watertown, SD, though the only drawback is the constant buzz of chatter drowning out what should be some good ol' Dropkick Murphys tunes. I was particularly impressed by the great pastrami on homemade rye--tender, tangy meat stacked high on fresh-baked bread that could make even a New Yorker do a happy jig. Their bartenders are absolute gems, slinging drinks and banter with the charm of seasoned storytellers who somehow remember your name after one visit. One quirky touch is how the floors creak underfoot, like they're gossiping about all the pints spilled before you. Strangely enough, the soup of the day was tequila, a boozy curveball that had the whole place toasting with confused delight and empty bowls. The house brews hold their own, pairing like old friends with the hearty grub. All in all, Dempsey's is a witty, wonderful Watertown, SD gem.

Sister had chicken strips which she loved. Restaurant has old world charm. Worth the short journey if the interstate.
