Things have changed over the years, no more white table cloths. Food was generous and flavorful, prepared properly, and above average ... not elevated. Still, enjoyed the meal and surroundings, it's always a great place for a business meeting or special event. Thank you!More infoMinerva's - Sioux FallsPrice: Moderate• American• Sioux Falls•4.6

Discover South Dakota
Although South Dakota has restaurants to satisfy any craving, whether it be steak, seafood, Italian, or Chinese food, the options tend to steer towards cuisine from Scandinavian, German, and Native American cultures. That being said, some meal options seem totally unique to the state. Foods such as chislic, kuchen (the state dessert) and Indian tacos are staples in South Dakota. The state celebrates its Czechoslovakian culture every June with Tabor Czech Days, which is a perfect way to do more than just sample your share of kolaches. Two foods created by the Lakota Sioux, wojaki and wasna, are still very popular in South Dakota today.
