Old Lumber Company Grill and Bar — Restaurant in Vermillion Township

This was the absolute worst meal I've ever had in my entire life!! Our family of 4 spent a pretty penny ( $75+) for food that was mostly left on our plates as we walked away hungry.

Very disappointed as last summer we enjoyed eating here. We finally got up and left. Very likely will not go there again. Al any of them needed to do is acknowledge us as they walked by. A simple "someone with be with you soon" would...

"It felt like going back in time. A Saturday night in Vermillion, home to the University of South Dakota, and bars and restaurants were brimming with parents celebrating after the state high school football championships.

Chad Grunewaldt hung a “Masks Expected” sign at the front door of his two-story bar, the Old Lumber Company. Like many businesses, he left the decision up to staff and patrons. Some servers and bartenders have gotten sick, and Grunewaldt said he sends them home and welcomes them back when they recover.

NO - it's a pandemic and you are playing a significant role in it continuing, as well as the death and economic devastation following in its wake. I am embarrassed to...
