Used to go here when it was North Star and loved it. I know Tinners has been in Sioux Falls forever so figured it should be good under the new ownership. I got a steak salad, which was good. $18.50 for it is a bit steep but I get it. Husband got the sirloin with broccoli and sweet potato fries, which he was originally excited about as a new diabetic, since finding meals that won't mess him up are somewhat difficult when eating out. Fries were great. Broccoli was well cooked but not seasoned. The steak however - no seasoning, and is very obviously pre-cooked and just slapped on the grill to make the marks. It was almost a perfect rectangle also. We were checked in by the server and bartender multiple times which was nice, but whichever took our order didn't write it down (normally an impressive skill) but my salad ended up just greens/onion/steak/Bleu cheese/ranch. And hubs didn't get his mushrooms/onions on his steak. Which we did bring up to one of the servers when they stopped to check on us and they made him his mushrooms and onions and brought it to us on a plate and told us they would comp it. But if you've ever had a steak in your life, you know that there's a difference between just eating it with onions and mushrooms and having it cooked and smothered in them.
My biggest gripe though and why I won't be returning is because they did not charge us correctly. It wasn't like a big amount of money but it's the principle. My husband's steak was $16.50 per the menu, and they charge $2 to have it smothered. So that would put us at $18.50. they charged me $18.75 for it and then only comped me $1.50. so again, not a crazy big amount but I don't understand how, As a business, you can just blatantly mischarge items. I can only imagine how they're able to nickel and dime parties of more than two people when not everyone is looking that closely at...
Read moreI have a few things to say about our experiences since Northstar has opened. 1- The first time I went there when they I just opened I wasn't overly impressed. 2- We have been back four or five times, three times for the prime rib itself, and have been extremely satisfied with the service, the food, and the atmosphere.. 3- I wish I caught the girls name tonight, but the lady who is managing there is wonderful, along with the wait staff, and the cooks.. 4- We have had the same cook deliver our meal the last four times that we have been there in the last 4 months, and this leads me to believe they treat their staff well for them to stay during this trying time. 5- We got a free dessert tonight because my son ate his vegetables and said thank you for...
Read moreMy wife and I have gotten carry out from Northstar twice now and have been really impressed with the quality and quantity of the food. We ordered burgers, wraps, and the fish and chips. Portions were generous, the burgers were huge, and all for a really reasonable price. In a world of restaurants that are raising prices and reducing the amount of food you get Northstar isn’t one of them. The staff is also really friendly and quick to acknowledge I’m there for carry out and process my payment. They are quickly becoming our go-to destination for carry out. We live nearby and are really glad we found them. Judging by how full the restaurant is this gem has a following! We highly...
