Reviews of Parker's (Restaurant)

patrick o'brien

Excellent restaurant! The food is always amazing. Emily was our server and she was fantastic! Definitely one of my favorite places in town.

Jared Beskow

Romantic, huge selection of wine and drinks, great unique food you won't find other places. The menu is limited. We had the duck and pork chop which were both excellent. The spicy tuna appetizer was really good as well.

dorothy edwards

Such a delightful experience. Thiscis my 2nd visit here due to friendly wait staff, live music, and fab food. Reservations recommended.

eli seeley

Great experience, friendly and the food was awesome. Great beer selection. Despite not having anything specific for kids, they made something delicious. All around well done.

Adrian Jones

My fiancee and I went here for a dinner date night for her birthday and was the best food we have ever had. We got scallops that was served with squash and a pumpkin puree and duck with blue corn grits and a amazing sauce. Could not have ask for a better dinner. Not only was the food perfect but our service was also amazing. This place has raised the bar for food. It is our new standard. 100% will go back.

Nicholas Skajewski

Quality ingredients, attentive service, artisanal cocktails, skilled chefs, local support. What more can you ask for? Highly recommended and easily the best restaurant in Sioux Falls!

Thomas Thome

This is another place I really like Bistro is put a touch on something different the most of the restaurants just don't have.

Ryan Wille

Super friendly and professional, and food was spectacular

Stephani Horstman

Traveling foodies overnighting in Sioux Falls after Thanksgiving travels. We searched for farm to table and Google brought us to Parker's. Nothing about this meal disappointed! Drinks, food, dessert, hostess, service (our server Emily was fantastic and was even able to suggest a breakfast option for us upon request), everything was fantastic. We called to see if they could get us in on a Saturday within 30 minutes and they said they could seat us at the bar. When we arrived, they offered us a cozy & pleasant 2-top that suited us perfectly. Great little spot that definitely impressed us!

Galacia Pokos

My SO and I went for our anniversary. We were well taken care of and everything was delicious. Their Pavlova dessert is super unique, haven't found another place in town that serves it! Definitely one of the more upscale, tasty dining experiences in town.

Brock Gilmer

What an amazing restaurant. Great food and service! Would recommend for any date night or formal outing!!

Michael Weesner

Wounderful

Chip Sandifer

The food was amazing!

Matt Hodes

Really good food and service. From the seasonal salad to main course we were really impressed. Exciting to see healthy and vegan options.

Sarah Miller

We took a client here who is vegan, there was one option for a vegan entrée, and it is a cold dish. She had to eat sweet potato fries and asparagus. Very tiny portions, I usually never finish my steak and I could have eaten 2 of the $24 flat iron steaks. Not sure what was on top of the steak, but it looked and tasted like wood. The ravioli appetizer had two pieces of ravioli and they were very bland. The spring rolls were wrapped in a waxy rice paper that almost resembled the intestinal casings for hot dogs. Very disappointing $120 meal for 3 people (keeping in mind, one person didn't eat a real meal).

Rick kriebel

Great food! The Bison meatloaf was great and the Baileys stout desert was awesome !

DeeAy03 GamerGirl

A little pricey, but you get what you paid for. The service was great, food was great, the overall ambience was very comfortable and classy.

Steven Rommereim

Very nice, romantic setting. Food good although a bit pricey.

Danny Lueders

Great food and atmosphere

Tej Mehta

Probably the best restaurant in Sioux Falls. Phenomenal food, great service, great mixed drinks. I highly recommend the vegan/vegetarian options, my girlfriend has loved their wagyu options in the past. Absolutely worth the money!

Jeremiah Schmitt

Great atmosphere, better food and the absolute best dessert!

Edward Coles

Not bad little Bistro. I had the Chislic, was not super impressed, even though the fries where awesome. The wife's duck was very good and would recommend.

Sara R.

I went here for date night last night (Sunday following Thanksgiving). Plenty of space, romantic atmosphere, attentive staff, delicious food and excellent service. Their milk-frothing machine was broken, but did their best to still give me a mocha for dessert. I knocked a star because I went to this restaurant specifically for the vegan lasagna on their website, which they didn't have. They changed it to a vegetarian lasagna with dairy, which was really disappointing. Fortunately, they still have a vegan main... the ramen bowl. The bowl was a bit salty, but overall still good. I also ordered the side salad (tasty and fresh) and mediterranean plate to share. My date also ordered food that arrived well-prepared and he enjoyed it all. Highly recommend, and somewhat vegan-friendly restaurant in small Sioux Falls.

Clayton Lehmann

Outstanding food, interesting cocktails, unusual menu, pleading decor. Service is good but there are too few servers. Rather expensive. Overall recommended.

marjorie cohen

Great service, food and atmosphere. Family friendly and affordable. Come hungry and plan on having leftovers!

Victorien Miniere

Superb food and amazing service, we had a great time at dinner with 2 young kids. Highly recommended if you are in the area!

Lance Teinert

Awesome food, great atmosphere, amazing service, and best bar in Sioux Falls!!

Joshua Fenton

This place never fails to impress me. Just licked the plate of my oxtail crosstini. Wish I had room for one more....

Jamal Dodin

Disappointing for such a good reputation.

alan Spencer

Tiffany Glaser

Wonderful steak and duck!

George Hamer

Jim Cairney

Enjoyed every part of my meal. Beef tenderloin was outstanding.

cathy kremer

Cute place, good atmosphere, quaint, good food & service!

Adam Anderson

Food was great. Nice location. Outdoor seating on a fairly quiet street.

Danielle Tornow

Very good food and wonderful cocktails.

allen jacobson

It was ok. The food was pricey, which I only say because I felt it was fair at best. The lamb shank was nicely prepared, but the sauce on it wasn't very tasty. The fingerling veggies were nice. The server seemed overworked with only 4 tables, bit she was pleasant and knowledgeable.

Robert Nelson

Finest cuisine in Sioux Falls.

Chris Trefz

I have had lunch here on one occasion and haven't made it back down. They also did the catering for our wedding. Overall it's a little pricey but I do believe you get a better food experience than is typically available in Sioux Falls. It's a charming place. Can't wait to get back and try this place more thoroughly.

Julia Ross

Our flight was cancelled and we found ourselves stuck in Sioux Falls for an extra night. Parker's was a wonderful find. The staff was very pleasant, food and drinks were good. If I'm ever back in Sioux Falls I will head back to Parker's.

Krystal K

Great food here. I love that there is always a vegetarian option on the menu.

anna phillips

Excellent food, consistently. Be sure to make a reservation because this is a popular spot anytime of the year.

Erin Arends

Best in town!!! The atmosphere, the food and the Lavender martinis!!!!

S Chapa

Nice building and decor. A little too dark inside. Would be a nice place for a romantic dinner if they worked on improving service and served better food. CONS: Extremely long wait between appetizer and main. Spicy Tuna Napollan was not spicy and came with undercooked and grainy rice and partially cooked salmon. Pass on the Mediterranean Tapas Plate. Caesar salad was over-sauced. Took forever to get a soda and even longer to get a refill. PROS: Friend enjoyed the ratatouille. Free parking in lot across the street from restaurant. Pricey for portion size and slow service.

Peter Patterson

dmittedly I am a bit of a pizza snob. This spot is awesome. The notion of a you build it pizza appeals to me. The assortment of ingredients here is tremendous. I highly recommend fewer toppings and the selection of cheeses. Tasty, thin crust, and fresh. Gotta try this place and I guarantee you will become a regular.

Dexter Hu

Great food, excellent service. The atmosphere is wonderful. They were very accommodating with our toddler, and offered her own bowl of buttered noodles with fruits (which were also very fresh)! Our dishes were beautifully prepared, and absolutely delicious. Their desserts were also delightful.

Jake Fratkin

Great beverages - tons of tasty options. Go on Sundays when the jazz band is playing - they are smooth and fun!

John W

Found it by accident. Will return any time I am in town. Service was outstanding, prices fair, and the food imaginative and delicious.

Phillip Eisenberg

All you need to know is that Ravioli under the "Small Plates" section means TWO. TWO pieces of ravioli. Normal size. $12. The food tasted great, but thank goodness I told my spouse to order another item in case that one wasn't enough, or in our case, those two pieces of ravioli weren't enough. Frankly, it's atmosphere, drinks, and dessert are great, but their food is... embarrassing.

Billy B

Best food and drinks in the city. I'd put it up against anything nationwide!

Troy Weiland

One of my Top Places to eat in Sioux Falls- unique dishes, great ambience, great service- highly recommend!

Ann Sehr

Derek Morgan

Awesome spot. Bar staff is friendly too!

chris lietz

Decent food and selection.

Branden Scoggin

You say you love fried chicken? You do? Well then, you have to Eat Here!! Their broasted chicken lives up to the hype and reputation on TripAdvisor! It's Fantastic! When passing through Sioux Falls from now on, I will have to be sure to drive to Bob's for chicken! If I lived in Sioux Falls, I'd be a regular.

Kyle Sorenson

Juna Sleep Systems Justin Waggoner

Love the food here. This is among my favorite places to eat. If you have not been to Parkers you are missing out. I also love the family that owns it and runs it. They are good people we are lucky to have in our community.

Claudia Brianzoli

A real restaurant!

Michial Mularoni

Update: this place has really been slipping for sometime. When I first moved to SF I said it was the best but sadly no more. High quality ingredients and a chef driven menu please

Steve Watkins

Fantastic food and service!

Brad Paulson

Brilliant chef and wine selection. Thank you for your passion!

Laura Larsen

Good Budda Bowl, great wine, nice quiet atmosphere

joan gonzalez

Generous portion and grill to perfection. Very tender and flavorful. We went there for business dinner so we order assortments of appetizers and main entrees. However, lamb stood out.

Sean Peterson

I struggle with this review, but here's the breakdown. Location is nice and trendy. Drink menu is solid with a good variety of to alcohol and beer. Food, not worth the price. Dessert, excellent. After 3 different visits to Parker's I'm left not craving them at all. With a dinner for two costing over $120...I should be WOW'd, but I'm not, I'm left feeling "it's ok". There's a lot potential, but they just haven't won me over.

Paul Gillaspey

Good food and service. A little excited for what you get

zog harms

We had a good time even though neither of us were all that hungry when we went in. Seemed very upscale, but the host reassured us that we weren't under dressed. I in my blue collar work clothes. Our waitress was very knowledgeable, even about the drinks.

Michele Diamond

Oh my, vegan heaven. Beautiful decor. Great service. Thank you. M

Rebecca Trobec

While the service, food and atmosphere is wonderful, conversation echos in the brick room. While not wanting to hear other's conversation, we realized it was unavoidable. The buffalo meatloaf is wonderful!

Jessica Nieman

Excellent food. Great place for celebrating our anniversary. Carrot cake was good but not on par with the rest of the meal. Still amazing meld of tastes and textures. Yum.

Brendin M. Weiland

Best Place in town! Servers are GREAT and the food is Excellent!!

Lisa Arreola

The creamy pastrami soup was amazing! Hamburger very tasty as well. Service was outstanding. What a pleasant surprise coming out of Sioux Falls,SD! I would highly recommend this restaurant.

Richard Maher

Never fails to live up to expectations.

albert thomas

Amazing little surprise and treat to find a place with a great atmosphere and vegan friendly. I had the most amazing cashew cheese with pumpkin seed tortellini and a side of roasted beets. Simply Outstanding. Great service and fun drink list. Highly recommend.

Rex Bishman

Top service

Chloe Hanley K

Although the service was excellent, the food was disappointing. For the price you pay the quality is not up to standard. The shrimp tacos were filled merely with lettuce and shrimp and fell apart within seconds. Garlic overpowered the entire dish. The caesar salad was miniature. We got charged extra for requesting a full sized salad but never received close to that. The side of broccolini counted exactly three. The bistro is simply lacking in quality of food.

justin waggoner

My favorite

Justin Heard

Nice place for date night.

Amy V

Amazing food. A bit pricey but probably worth it for what you get. Very high quality food and I know they try to get it locally when they can. Super, super good. Had slow service tonight, but I've never had bad food there ever.

Arnold Cowger

Always happy when we go to Parker's!

Brandon James

First of all the Salad Bar is huge and full of many varieties of food. Then the "meatfest" comes. We love trying all the varieties of meat, all very delicious and the Gauchos very proud of their specialties. We did not get the shrimp option as there is so much else to eat. I think I have my fill until...

Ty Singman

In Sioux Falls for the day and didn’t want to leave without a unique food experience. I drove around for while and nothing sparked my interested until I found Parker’s. I could not be happier. With a long ride home ahead of me I chose to have two items from the small plate menu. The Chislic with Truffle fries was packed with flavor. The meat was tender and the fries were crisp. The Lobster tacos, made with tail meat, were delicate and perfectly complemented with a vanilla crema. I am looking forward to coming back to enjoy their entrees. Buon Appetite.

Laura DeBates

Excellent

Megan Teslow

The service was great and the food was absolutely amazing! Oh and I loved the southern pudding! Great way to end the meal!! The atmosphere was perfect! Just loved the experience!!

Ben Gutnik

The best option for fine dining food in Sioux Falls. Unique location in historic Downtown Sioux Falls. Great options for seafood and steaks, as well as a top-notch crafted cocktails bar and wine list. A must visit in DTSF.

Clark Casarella

Parker's is definitely a treat for quality chef creations. Great for special occasions or even just a Friday night

Matt bohmbach

The food was good very fancy plating! The Parmesan truffle fries were very good.

Luke Jessen

This is probably my favorite place to eat in Sioux Falls! Excellent service and the waitress was also able to recommend great drink pairings with our meals.

Veronika Ludewig-Jorgensen

I consider myself a bit of foodie & have worked in the service industry for many years & thus have a lot of opinions. Parkers is really the ONLY restaurant in Sioux Falls that always delivers. The food is thoughtful, interesting & is Always prepared correctly which is something I cannot say about other downtown restaurants that bill themselves as Chef driven establishments. I have never needed to send anything back, the service is always stellar, the food in delicious, great wine list & Love the chocolate pudding, this place is worth every dime, I am bummed that we didn't get reservations in time for Valentines day this year ....

Vanessa Perets

Delicious! Great service. Intimate atmosphere.

Anne Riley

Great ambiance, food was delicious and a very cool drink menu.

Glen Enright

Wonderful food and drinks. Plus, the entertainment (Shamrockers) were great!

win cowger

My waitress Ally was superb. Best service I have had in a long time. So attentive and personable. It was like we've been friends for ages. The food delicate yet filling. I heard some great music from a band with a bass player named Denim who lit the place up. Definitely coming back here soon.

Russ Clarke

We had another glorious meal at Parker's.

Brian Gochal

Perfect across the board. From fantastic dishes to world class cocktails, you will be pampered both palate and service. Friday night themed cocktails are a must.

Glenn Luke

Waygu beef was perfect.

Chad Anderson

Best service and restaurant in Sioux Falls! We keep coming back, and will continue to!

Brandon Smith

Excellent food and beverages. We went to an later hour Harry Potter themed event called "Fantastic Drinks and How to Find Them". They made some very good and interesting concoctions. Recommend!

Lee Dardis

Outstanding food!

Todd Vantol
