Carnaval brazilian grill

Contemporary restaurant serving bottomless plates of Brazilian food, from skewered meat to salads.
Reviews:
Excellent Service, our server Kayla was the best. We really enjoyed the food and the drinks. Serving plates could have been slightly bigger. Other than that was a great experience. I will be back there again for certain.

Very enjoyable cool modern styled restaurant. Great service from Emily and frequent visits to the table by the meat bearers. Excellent salad bar buffet to start and the grilled meats were delicious and cooked to perfection. Very reasonably priced and nice to get an OAP discount. Very popular so book in advance.

We typically go here for special occasions, this being no exception, being Mother’s Day. On these occasions, they do a brunch buffet which is FANTASTIC! Awesome salad bar and endless meats brought to your table including lamb, pork, chicken, and sirloin. This is definitely a favorite restaurant of mine but don’t get too cozy with your cash if you come here with a group or family, it is definitely on the expensive side. Food is second to none, never had bad service. If you want something next level and don’t mind shelling out a fair amount for this experience, I definitely recommend!

First time at a place like this. We went for my brother & sister-in-law's 10th anniversary. Thursday dinner. The staff were nice and it had some fun decorations. The salad bar was pretty good, but I was underwhelmed with the protein options & taste. I was prepared to be in awe of how good and plentiful their meat selection was. There weren't that many choices & several weren't that good. My favorite was probably the cinnamon roasted pineapple. It was crazy good! 😃 The spicy Thai chicken thighs were also good. The beef & remaining chicken selections were only ok. The garlic Parm chicken was not good at all. My mom & sister-in-law loved the shrimp. I'm from TX. I thought it was ok, if not a little rubbery. Basically, I can make as good, if not better meat for WAY less money. If you aren't a good cook or pit master, this may taste really good to you though.

The salad bar, wow, don't let its impressive selections suck you in and fill a full plate, not that they aren't good options to try (everything on the salad bar was amazing), but you won't have room for the amazing meats that about to rotate around your table! I feel in love with the lamb. Oh, the pineapple is so good. My least favorite was the sausage links because they seemed overcooked. But don't let my least favorite determine what you try. Try it all! So, I'm so going to go again, but I'm skipping lunch that day!

Nice place with a balcony overlooking the river. Fish & Chips (haddock & fries) was excellent. My wife had the Caesar Salad with grilled chicken, also excellent. Dogs allowed on balcony.

Had a great time chit chatting with Tanner at the bar! Also the food… just soo good for a hotel bar! Definitely great spot to hang have a wonderful cold beer and food! Just know between 2-5 the kitchen is closed!

Stopped in for lunch on a Saturday. Food came out quick and tasted great. Waitress was efficient and friendly. Scenic view of the river and Arc of Dreams. Would definitely eat here again!
Nick Smith
Beautiful atmosphere. Inside sports bar feel with a beautiful view outside alongside the river. Ordered the Pub Burger with fries and an IPA. Cooked perfectly with sautéed onions and their sauce. Service was slower than I like but I may have just arrived at a bad time. Strangely, I felt I had been there before when I walked in. BTW, it’s inside the Country Inn and Suites. Anyway, I’ll be back to try some other menu items.

I've always thought falls landing has been a solid choice for American bar food. Their burgers are good and they have a ton of choices. It's in a hotel so usually it's not super busy if you need a quick place without reservations. Plus their burger battle entry was yummy this year!

A menu featuring classic American Southern comfort dishes in a rustic space with exposed brick.
Reviews:
I was excited to try this place as I’ve been trying different types of cuisine. The food may be spicy for some but I thought it was just the right amount of heat. I really enjoyed the New Orleans shrimp. It’s a perfect combo with the jambalaya and the creamy sauce. I didn’t get a picture of the chocolate cake my friend got but it was so delicious. We weren’t told they had beignets until after we had paid and were close to leaving but would definitely want to try them.

So many choices in the area and we definitely made the right choice! My friend is visiting and has celiacs so sometimes it's tough to find the right fit for all of us. We arrived at Swamp Daddy's and never have I ever seen so many gluten free menu choices! Never have I ever seen so many CAJUN gluten free menu choices in my life, the rue usually takes them off the list!! We were greeted with a smile and a welcome by a lovely young lady that was genuinely happy to see us! She offered us any open spot in the place! We chose the bar because the seats looked so comfy! They're a bit low but they're definitely comfy! We each got a nice cold beverage, they have beer, seltzer and wine and placed our order. We got the Cajun Fries for appetizer and they came out hot and fresh with all the crispy goodness we wanted. Would have liked some kind of Cajun aioli to go with them rather than the bottled ranch but the fries alone were good. We each got the Blackened Shrimp and it was divine! There were plenty of shrimp and the pile of jambalaya seemed endless!! The flavor was amazing and the sauce was to die for! I'll definitely be back before we head back out on the road, I'd like to try a little more of the menu, it was all solid choices!

Went with a large group for lunch and we all enjoyed our experience. It's inside a little shopping area/food court. Our server was nice enough. The service was a little slow but I didn't expect it to be fast with such a large group. The food was excellent! We all enjoyed it so much, even if it was a bit pricey. But then again, you can't usually get cheap seafood in South Dakota! Will be back if in the area again.

Amazing! I'm from Louisiana and moved up here to escape the politics and poverty, and this place is just pure Louisiana! The ambiance, the food, and service, and the murals! I highly recommend! The cook is even from Louisiana, so that really helps!
Amelia Cragg
I had the fried chicken tacos and they were AMAZING! I’m not a seafood person but my partner wanted to go and I was not disappointed. Our server was very friendly! The service was so good! Our server was Alicia! She is fantastic and personable! The bengiets were wonderful!

Casual, 24-hour Mexican option for tacos, burritos & nachos served in a colorful, barn-like setting.
Reviews:
Great spot to hit after a night downtown, after a late shift, or any time you're in the mood for good Mexican food. The burritos looked incredible, but I had to stay awake to drive a few more hours, so I went with the taco platter (asada) instead. Don't forget to get carrots and salsa while you wait for them to bring your order out.

Better than fast food, I would call it casual authentic. The burritos are large and filling. Tried the steak chorizo and it was fantastic. Tacos and quesadillas are fresh tasting and lots of flavor. I wish they Coke products but have Pepsi with Dr Pepper and Orange Crush. A great place for lunch.
Lloyd Nickel
Met up with a friend for lunch! We love Gilberto's and we hadn't been to this location yet so this was fun to check out. Very clean and friendly staff though it was a busy lunch hour. I got the shrimp fajitas and they were excellent. I will always recommend the chips and salsa as the salsa is great and the chips are just the right amount of salty.
Sarah Chernatinski
Love their food!!! Love that they are open whenever the cravings hit. New drive through is very handy, and parking lot much easier to navigate. Because the food is handmade when you order and not sitting in warmers, expect to wait in the drive through line. Be patient, it's fresh. And yummy!

Best burrito I've ever had. Get the carnitas burrito and a horchata

Elevated American pub grub, craft beer & lots of bourbon offered in a big, rustic-chic setting.
Reviews:
Food was very good. We went with the whole family. We got a variety of dishes. Highly recommend the walleye plate, fish was excellent. The burger is good but had to remove the bacon as it didn’t taste quite right, over smoked, way too crispy and over cooked, and glaze wasn’t good. Large selection of fries with you choosing your seasoning which was great. The meatball pizza wasn’t a favorite of mine, but wasn’t bad. Service was great, she checked on us quite a bit and food came out quickly.
Clever Country
Love bourbon? This is the place! The selection is incredible. Pappy Van Winkle 23 year & OFC, it’s jaw dropping just to see the selection of allocated bourbons. I have been here several times and never been disappointed. The bar has a great selection of bourbon, beer and other spirits. Great apps, usually get the spinach dip. The pizzas and burgers are great. What I love about the burgers, one can substitute a chicken breast instead hamburger Patty. Spacious restaurant and bar and out door patio that is second to none. And they serve coke products. 👍🏼
Lloyd Nickel
This place hits out of the park. Bartender on the patio is an absolute rockstar. I have had a salad, a pizza, and cheese curds here and have not been anything but impressed. Old fasions are spot on with many wiskeys to choose from. Keep up the great work.
Kyle Nordick
I randomly went here twice in the last week. The first time we got drinks & I got their Scoville 2.0 burger bc I love heat & the sweet potato fries. Both were excellent! The 2nd time we got the Manzo pizza & I got a the house merlot. The pizza is 12", so I'd get 2+ if you have 3+ people. The Manzo comes with sliced onions that are easy to pick off if you don't like them 🙋🏻♀️ & your bf forgets to say "no onions". The crust was thin, but not crispy. The wine was "room temp". Since we were at the outside bar at dinner time in August, I'd say it was about 85-90°. As in, I put the glass of wine on my arm & it felt hot. Other than the wine being about 40° too hot, it wasn't bad for a house wine. Sorry, no photos of the pizza. We were hungry & I forgot to take any.
Missy Fraser
Yikes! Pizzas were ordered for pick up. Tastes like day old meat and stale as bricks! Flat stale dough. How could so many details be wrong. Maybe they should stick to burgers. I got a bourbon burger it was GREAT! Close up on the dried out meat. I'm so ripped off! 40$ kids won't touch this..maybe the dog will eat it.

Passing through town and glad to find this 24 hour treasure! It’s not Michelin starred, but it’s good food at good prices. Our server Nicole set the standard for kindness and just being plain awesome. The world needs more people like here! The ribs were fantastic and the Banana Cream pie is now my favorite dessert. Thank you to everyone who works here to make it a great dining experience at a good price!

good food better hours but this Grand Combo wasn't very Grande pretty sure there is supposed to be more items in here but still good!

Nicole is the best server we have had in a long time. She is awesome! We come in on Monday nights for the good food and awesome service she provides. Definitely a great place to eat.
Alisha
Our waitress was very understanding. She was respectful and friendly. She truly went above and beyond! She had to add another meal due to my husband's allergies. She was so kind about it! Clean place to eat with staff that goes out of their way to make sure you are truly enjoying your meal!

It's been three years since I have eaten here. I will be coming to Sioux Falls in a few weeks for a family visit. I will be stopping here before my wife and I leave to come back home to VA. I have some really good memories at this restaurant. The food is almost always perfect, I have never had to send anything back to the kitchen when it comes to my food or drink. I miss the salad bar sooooooooooo freaking much. I can't find anything like it out here, and it drives me bananas. The manager John is super nice, and he was super sweet tonight. I came back to visit my family and every year I come back I have to stop at least once and eat here.

Seasonal American bistro fare is served in a relaxed space with light woods & a large bar.
Reviews:
We had a great experience celebrating a birthday party at Grill 26. They did a great job of taking care of our group. The service was friendly, helpful and very knowledgeable with respect to the dishes and menu. The food was excellent. I had the meatloaf and I think it was the best thar I've ever had. The atmosphere was also very pleasant. We had not been here for a while but I look forward to visiting again soon to try some other options on the menu!
Seth S
Great place! Great food! We had the walleye entree and the 8 oz sirloin entree. Both were cooked to perfection and very tasty great place with lots of space for small parties and gatherings too

The food was fresh and looked amazing. Even the other meals we saw come out looked fantastic. They had plenty of gluten free options. We were looking for a light lunch and I was excited to have a Caesar salad, which I don't order very often. My wife had a Southwest salad and she said it was really good. The beef on her salad was cooked perfect and the flavor on my chicken for my Caesar salad was great. Sadly my caesar salad, tasted more like a vinaigrette salad than a caesar. I personally don't like vinaigrettes at all so it kind of ruined the entire meal for me. I would try the place again in the future when we are in town.
Nick Sampson
Good lunch spot! I had the grilled chicken melt. It was a very messy sandwich but tasted great. The fries weren’t as crispy as I would have liked them to be. The feel and atmosphere is “hotel breakfast nook” meets “college campus dining area.” I would eat here again and try something new. Lots of yummy sounding items on the menu.
Lauren Hartwig
Went for lunch with my mom on a Tuesday. Our server was a sweet college-aged girl who did an excellent job checking in on us throughout our meal. I got the roasted apple spinach salad. It was delicious. The reason for the 4 stars is the portion size. It came with maybe 3 oz of chicken & was closer to a side salad than a meal portion. I left hungry since that's all I ordered. For a $14 salad, I expect better portions. I've been here many times & really enjoy their food & quality service. This is the first time I've been disappointed with the portions. You should totally eat here. It's one of the best restaurants in SF imo.
