Reviews for Phillips Avenue Diner in Sioux Falls, SD
So I wasn't sure what to make of this place at first. It was like I was transported back in history to my childhood. It has a... very retro feel to it. The outside of the building is half shiny metal and the other half is plainly built. Upon entering, itis very tight but they make good use of their limited space. It was clean and nostalgic. There were several things on themenu you would expect to see on the menu of a retro Cafe like Elvis inspired food and drink as well as several that weresurprising to me such as Cajun dishes. We sat down and had an old fashioned Carmel apple milkshake and ordered. The promptnessof the food was 5*'s. They had it out to us within 10 minutes of ordering and that was extremely impressive to me. The foodwas great and tasted like something your grandma would make. The only reason I am not giving it a full 5*'s is simply due tothe cramped environment of the diner itself. Read more
Wow, wow, wow! I love diners and this is the top of the heap! The atmosphere is just right and the service is spectacular. We... arrived at lunchtime on Sunday. Luckily there was a 20 minute wait, so we sat at the bar. Good on us. We ordered the hotroast beef sandwich and the beef stroganoff. Both were amazing! Our visit was perfect and we highly recommend sitting at thebar to get the full Phillips Avenue Diner experience. There you can see how capable all of the servers are and how efficientthe kitchen is. Can?t wait to get back there. Read more
We had a great time but sadly, we came to get a shake and the freezer was broken so no shakes for us today. That being said, our... server was great and the food was wonderful. My daughter said the Mac n cheese had spiral noodles and apparently that makes thebest Mac n cheese. Another child at the table next to us proclaimed that they have the best orange juice in Sioux Falls, so Iguess if you need the best orange juice, this is where it is. My son said his food was great and it made him ready for a nap soI guess that means he is well fed and happy. My jambalaya was a tad salty but still very good. Lots of good food and all of usleft very happy despite the lack of shakes. I guess that just means we have to come back! Read more
Awesome diner, right in the middle of a cool area of town. We sat at the counter and enjoyed a very good breakfast. Service was... good and employees friendly. The menu has a lot of great options to choose from however, we were feeling pretty basic! Pancakesand French toast is what we went with and they were both very good. My ?two-two-two? came with 2 eggs, 2 strips of bacon and 2pieces of French toast with berries and pecans. I recommend stopping on for a great diner breakfast followed by a walk aroundthis cool area!

An old-school vibe diner. We got a sandwich, french toast, and bread pudding. They were all good but not amazing. The London fog... was one of the best earl grey tea latte we?ve had in a while though. Our server was friendly and the food came out quickly. Thediner has a seasonal menu, showing that they try to create diverse food choices for their customers. Overall, a great place forbrunch in Sioux Falls. Read more
There?s nothing anyone can love more than coming to a small town even though I would argue Sioux Falls is far from a small town... but compared to my home city of Los Angeles? I think you get the point I love driving around the city but the first place Ifound to have breakfast was this diner I thought everybody incredibly polite both my waiters for the nicest people ever met inyour life and the music that they played was absolutely hilarious I felt like jumping up and singing like that dude from riskybusiness? Oh yeah his name is Tom Cruise only I would?ve worn pants. The breakfast menu and the ceiling is incredible I foundmyself very comfortable in ordering the farmers scramble I got it in less than six minutes and it was delicious but the portionsare much larger so I had to take it home and I enjoyed it two hours later and it tasted just as good? I can?t recommend thisplace enough I want to go back tomorrow before I leave and see what their pies are like. Read more

The staff was friendly and helpful. The atmosphere was so laid back. We will definitely begoing back there. It was worth the drive. Read more
