I did a late afternoon sandwich run from Sioux Falls to Grand Falls Casino. (Yes, it's THAT good. Grand Falls offers pleasurable dining, enough to do a quick 25 min drive to Iowa and back.) I really loved it. So Big Drop has excellent hours and they vary so check the schedule. For the patrons staying at the resort it will be your late night option unless you choose something else or choose to bring your own provisions.
That said, I did wait about 7 minutes in line. I didn't mind. The atmosphere was great. Many families and couples have a pleasant dining experience that my line wait went fast.
I will preface that the I've been on carnivore/ketovore long enough that I can take a day off every few weeks to enjoy a good meal. The only Zero Sugar option on the beverage menu is water (no sparkling water is available, not even in the gift shop.)
I ordered 2 Reuben sandwiches (you can make them into a combo (fries, drink.) I also ordered a full chicken strip basket (4pcs, fries, drink)
EVERYTHING is made to order so you will have to wait when its COOKED. They did have 2 line cooks, 4 servers, and a shift manager. Everything was pretty smooth for me (I'm used to ridiculous wait times in Las Vegas so this was fairly fast for me.)
Ashley the cashier was very attentive. Kudos.
The sandwiches were really tasty. The rue bread was awesome, the 1000 Island sauce was peak sauerkraut was crunchy. Pastrami was well prepared. The fries remind me of Checkers/Rally's fries ... They are THAT good.
I will say Kwik Star (Quick Mart and Gas Station) has PHENOMENAL chicken strips so having these were just okay, they weren't bad at all just not cut, breast meat strips (chicken breast meat v chicken puree strips) ie Chicken Tornado roller meat you get at a Get N Go or Amoco.
The ice machine didn't have ice, I'm sure had I mentioned it They would have filled it but initially I was looking for unsweetened tea.
The presentation is also very good. They use commercial use compostable containers which are better than styrofoam so that was neat. The atmosphere was very clean and organized.
The do have a Starbucks lease (ie the can sell you Starbucks drinks just like Big Box retailers, so yes you can enjoy a frapp late night.)
Everyone was polite, I really enjoyed getting home and sharing food from Grand Falls with family. Best place to for Reuben at the South Dakota/Iowa state line. The prices were reasonable (you'll pay just a bit more in local casinos like Sam's Town in Las Vegas, so I take that into...
Read moreI stayed at Grand Falls Casino in Larchwood for 5 days and ate at Big Drop Café several times during my trip. The food was consistently solid. nothing overly fancy, but tasty and reliable. Prices were reasonable, and the menu had plenty of options for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Only thing I wasn’t really impressed with was the cheese steak. Steak had no flavor and it came on a hot dog bun.
The café was always clean, and the staff was friendly and attentive without being overbearing. Service was quick, even during busier times, and the atmosphere was comfortable — a nice break from the casino floor.
Not the best meal you’ll ever have, but definitely not the worst. If you’re at Grand Falls Casino, Big Drop Café is a dependable choice you...
