They have a great selection of whiskey including some harder to find stuff like Blantons and higher Crown Royals. The salad bar is one of those great salad bars in roadside steakhouses. The potato salad was great. If I was hungrier I would have gone for the Oreo fluff and a couple other things. I ordered the NY strip steak and fries. The steak was delicious and the fries were good, as well. The bartender and I talked about the area and discussed the bad weather they've been having lately and I asked about Castlewood. One of those great Midwest places!

The Smokey Old Fashioned was the perfect finishing touch and one of the best I've had. What really made the night special was getting to meet the owner, who was incredibly kind and welcoming. You can tell they genuinely care about the food and the people who walk through the door. Great food, great drinks, and even better hospitality -- we'll 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.

I ordered the flatiron steak with hash browns and a side salad. The salad had perfectly fresh greens with large slices of cucumber and a couple cherry tomatoes. Couldn't have asked for anything better except maybe a couple croutons. The steak had a bourbon glaze, was cooked to a perfect medium and ever so tender. I had to share a bite with everyone because it was that amazing. The rest of the group was just as happy with their food. Chislic with steak fries, Tuscan pasta with chicken and BOMB burger. Everyone raved. If you are within 30 miles of Castlewood, EAT HERE. You will not be disappointed.

Chislic steak bites was good - not the most flavorful, but again, satisfying. I got the Cabaret fries instead of regular fries and enjoyed them - basically fried chunks of baked potato. It's a divey bar-restaurant (in the best way possible) - hugely surpassed expectations. Great value. Would happily return!
