You'll probably hear me say this repeatedly throughout many of my Midwest reviews, but my husband and I really are not naturally "bar and grill" type people. In all the many years we lived in Phoenix, despite dining at hundreds of restaurants across the Valley, I can honestly remember us regularly visiting maybe one true bar-and-grill style establishment. Then we moved to Sioux Falls. And suddenly we found ourselves surrounded by them. =) So, we are trying our best to adapt and experience the local dining culture the way the locals enjoy it. We came to Tinner's Public House because a large group of our friends absolutely loves the place and wanted us to join them there one evening. And honestly, because we were surrounded by good company and conversation, I still wound up having an enjoyable night overall. The restaurant itself was busy and lively, with that familiar neighborhood gathering-place atmosphere that many people clearly enjoy. As for the food, however, it unfortunately didn't leave much of an impression on me. The steak I ordered arrived overcooked and drier than I would have liked, the salad lacked that crisp fresh quality I was hoping for, and the clam chowder seemed surprisingly sparse on actual clams. Nothing was outright terrible, but most of the meal landed squarely in the mediocre category for me. The service was okay overall, though nothing especially memorable stood out in either direction. Truthfully, I think the biggest appeal of this place may simply be the atmosphere and sense of community it creates for regulars. Watching our friends interact with the staff and each other, it was obvious this is one of those local gathering spots people return to frequently because it feels comfortable and familiar. For me personally, though, I can't really say the food itself gave me much reason to return independently. Still, I had a genuinely pleasant evening because of the people we were with, and sometimes that matters more than the meal anyway. read more

A typical public house. The service we had was very good. I had the buffalo wings and they were very good. I did try the "stupid hot sauce" and it is very hot. I wasn't a fan of the flavor but am glad the server let me try the sauce before ordering. The bar has lots of TVs so sports are covered. The noise level is low enough that having a conversation is possible, which is nice. read more

Typical sports bar vibe - we were on the hunt for chislic and this place came recommended. Cheese curds were excellent - lamb chislic was good, slightly chewy, French fries perfectly fried and seasoned. Our bartender, Jay, gave decent service. read more

Stopped in to watch the NBA playoffs. Lots of big tvs with good sight lines. We had a yummy cocktail and a beer and some delicious chislic. There's a nice patio too if you'd prefer to sit outside. read more

Ate here tonight with my wife and daughter. We've had good meals here previously when it was a Greek themed restaurant, but tonight was a complete bust. The service was nonexistent. The beer I ordered never arrived, and even our request for water refills was ignored or forgotten. The server never checked back on the food, or to see if we needed anything else. She blamed it on the party room she was serving, so I guess we didn't matter. On top of everything else the food was COLD. I guess she was too busy with the party room to bring our food out. A very sad experience. Can't imagine we'll return. read more

First time dining here. We tried again later in the week but the wait was just too long and we were hungry! Lunchtime is probably the best time to go. Waitress was excellent! Food was delicious! Portion size was good so we split a dish. Definitely recommend ***!!! read more

We were there last night to celebrate 2 birthdays and they charged us 10 dollars to use credit card. That will be the last time for sure. Burgers were sloppy to eat. I also the bartender smash a bug. read more

Shoutout to Gavin for being the best server ever. Super friendly, fast, and somehow remembers everyone's order like a pro. If you get seated in his section, you're in luck--he'll take great care of you! read more

Had a nice experience, food was very good and our waitress did an excellent job. Will definitely return.

Sat outdoor near the waterfall, perfect setting for a night dinner. Ordered Buffalo brussel sprouts as an appetizer. Although the sprouts where good would of been perfect if they were not sitting out as they were luke warm at best. When I checked in, got an alert for a free shot. Even though it was expired they still offered it up. Good points there. When we sat there was no beer, condiments tray. As nice as she was was not her game on knowing all the beers and didn't offer the beer until we asked for it. I ordered the ribeye with garlic mashed potatoes and broccoli. Steak was fine garden potatoes were fine the broccoli it was the perfect color of green for being Blanche but Brock and it was cool. It was a good dinner and the service was good despite the beer menu. Will try it again, if my ventures take me that way read more

We've eaten here on many occasions and have had good food but the nachos are absolutely awful. Two people had them and both were disappointed. The vegetables were not cut up, hardly any cheese or toppings provided, just not a good representation of this establishment. read more

Tinners is our go to when we want to go out and treat ourselves. Always a good meal and beer!

Food is great and service is fast and very friendly. In this area I have found this place to be a great place for quality and good servings size for your dollar. Its not always about the size... oh wait, who am i tryna kid!! This place is all around one of the best bargains in this part of town. Just sayin! Try it and if you dont like it hey dont come back!! Its more for me!! Hahah but hey trust me! You gonna love it!! Wink wink nod nod!! read more

This is our neighborhood go to for a quick meal or Sunday brunch. It's great when there is seating outside and music. Inside can be a little loud but most places are. The Chislic is great. They have seasonal menus so be sure to check those out. It's always busy so get there before 5:30. read more

waitress took my food i wasn't finished eating while pre-bussing the table and never came back for me to inform her.

Well here we go again. Seems like these days most pubs like this have dumped their standard menus for a straight up greasy shitty deep fried bar food. Don't get me wrong, there's a time and place for bar food. Tinners used to be known for a full menu and really decent food. Not so much these days. We visited last week in an effort to try something new, as my wife told me we were going to do. To top it off, she didn't want bar food and Tinners was it! Here's the deal, the service was off the cuff outstanding! One beer 7.50 which is way overpriced for a Shells Oktoberfest, really, come on! I ordered the chislic basket and my wife ordered some hot ham and cheese. I'm like cool, within 5 minutes here comes our food. How can chislic and fries only take 5 minutes? anyhow I was hungry and ready. First bite if chislic is chewy and luke warm, fries are cold. I'm like F'ing A serious! looks to me like I just got something that's been siting under the hood for 30 minutes. Long story short, do I send food back. Absolutely not but we,ll NEVER go to Tinners again. And that's affirmative! Do yourself a favor and follow my advice, go to Culver's if you want a hot sandwich and basket over this place. hahaha read more

We took my husband here yesterday for Father's Day. Food was amazing! Service was outstanding. The inside is really nice it's a fun little upbeat spot we will definitely be back! read more

Stopped in for some happy hour drinks. Great cocktail selection! Friendly professional staff. Reasonable prices. Nice TV selection and clean seating. Wouldn't mind coming back in the future for some more cocktails and good times! read more

Had decent service the first time. Today was terrible. Couldn't keep the flies off of our food. Seriously so many flies inside dining it was gross. Steak was ordered medium came completely bloody and cold. Waitress never came back so we could have it cooked more and for that matter she never came back once and we had to go to the bar to get water refills. Will not eat here again. read more

Runner's atmosphere fun and friendly. Staff is friendly and makes you feel that you are there only customer. Their work with community organizations is wonderful. Food is always excellent and as ordered. Burgers, salads and more. Tinner's will quickly become one of your favorites. read more

Food was great. Our server did a great job. Food was reasonably priced. The negative is that they charge a non cash fee which is double dipping since credit card fees are deductible on their tax returns. read more

Great food and service despite large crowds. Fun and relaxed atmosphere. Nice variety of food for all tastes.

Oh my, we love Tinners! When Grandma doesn't want to cook, this is one of our spots. If you want a seat at the bar or a comfy booth for the fam, Tinners is your place. I've always enjoyed the food along with the neighborhood vibes. Andy is an awesome server who definitely knows how to guide your evening and Zac is the friendly face you'll see as you first walk in the door. The menu always is evolving while keeping the house favorites as well. It's just enough to keep you on your toes while also welcoming when you return. read more

I've been to TInner's several times. I would have given them a 4 star BUT they were one of the first bars/restaurants in Sioux Falls to be completely non smoking for a long time BEFORE the law was changed several years ago and it was so refreshing to come here in those days and not smell like an ashtray. Since then the law was changed and they are now just another bar/restaurant Service has always been quick even when in a group of 16. The Chislic tastes great! If you're not from South Dakota and never had Chislic I suggest try it! You won't be disappointed if you like steak! If anything a little too much salt/tenderizer but still it tasted yummy! On my last visit we had to wait on a Friday night to be seated and it was only a 2-3 minutes wait even though they said 10-15minutes. I'll be back for sure. read more

Best meatiest chicken wings ever. I recommend getting the basket. It comes with toast, coleslaw, and fries and the ranch is house-made. It's so good. read more

Meh it's ok if you don't have any other options.... menu sucks but you'll find something edible... it's right down middle at best you won't like it anymore than McDonald's or Hardee's except they serve alcohol read more

My "Breakfast Club" had dinner at Tinner's tonight. We've been here for breakfast before and it's one of our favorite places! We did dinner tonight and had an awesome experience! Dan was our waiter. He did a wonderful job taking our orders, delivering our meals in a timely manner and keeping our beverages full! Dan is A1! The food was awesome! Finally! A place that can cook a medium rare steak to perfection! The buffalo Sprouts were amazing! Sweet potato fries were sweet! You need to do Tinner's! Breakfast? Lunch?? Dinner!!! They're awesome! Thank you for such a greatly experience! read more

Great apps....get the Nachos. Cold drinks. Walleye was outstanding. Burger was a bit messy, but delicious. This is a must stop in Sioux Falls. read more

Great food, fast service, nice atmosphere. Ate outside on the patio. They didn't have any tables available, but enjoyed sitting on the couch that goes around the outside of the patio with a little portable table by the fire pit. read more

Tinners is one of the okayest bars in south central Sioux Falls, South Dakota. It has drinks and food. Not someplace to go for good drinks or food... but if you would like both served to you at the same time in an average relatively convenient setting... this place is just fine. If you find yourself overwhelmed by extreme mediocrity, you may want to be careful... but if you are in your underarmor hoodie and baseball cap waiting for your fresh buzzcut to grow out, and just want a bud light and some sweet potato fries... you could go there. read more

Great food, drink selection, and staff is arguably the best around. Patio is a nice option for evenings.

Thought we would take advantage of a warm Saturday night in October and have a meal on their great patio. Ordered two meals and an appetizer. Everything came at once, the appetizer, my steak, and my wives' shrimp bowl. The waiter said oops and took my wives meal away. Thought maybe he brought wrong item, but he and the bowl never returned. Finally brought us the check, we asked what happened to the bowl, he didn't seem to know. Thought maybe someone in kitchen ate it. WTF! But he did tell us we wouldn't have to pay for it! Never offered a true explanation or offer to make it right. Luckily we had an appetizer for my wive to eat. Like your guys atmosphere and food, (when we get it), but come on! read more

Tinner's has always been our "go to" spot! Not anymore!! They have decided to make the customer pay for their cost of doing business. Tinner's now, passes the cost of using a credit card on to the customer. That is total BS!! I'm telling everyone to go to "The Attic". It has better food and cheaper drinks anyway....... read more

Lovely atmosphere with a friendly waitress and TV's throughout the restaurant. I ordered the Walleye basket with tater tots instead of fries. The tater tots were delicious, but the batter on the walleye was a little tough to chew and could've been crispier. Their cheese curds as an appetizer; were phenomenal! I enjoyed my time there, although two stars were taken off because no social distancing took place within the restaurant, and they aren't enforcing masks on their patrons. The food also seems a little overpriced for the quality but not outrageously. I may go back if I'm in that area of Sioux Falls again, but it wouldn't be my first choice. read more

Great neighborhood bar & restaurant! Food is always wonderful, service is great and drinks are great. My favorite meal is the vegetable stir fry.... and a very close second is the Peanut Butter burger (that might have been just a short time on the menu though). Great atmosphere too! read more
