    AMAZING food and service!!  This was a fun retro diner to stop at for a late lunch.  The staff were all super friendly and polite.  The food came out at lightening speed and was delicious.  I definitely would put this on your list of stops if you're in Sioux Falls.

    I visited Phillips Avenue Diner for lunch during a pit stop in Sioux Falls. I found this spot because of yelp, so I was optimistic that it was going to be a good find.

    The service here was spectacular. I walked in and immediately got a seat even though it was prime lunchtime. Our waitress was really good at making sure we had a full glass each time she walked by. The kitchen did a great job of getting our food out as quick as possible.

    For my food, I had never had poutine before, so I ordered that for an appetizer. I don't know if this is bad poutine or good poutine, but my friends and I loved the poutine. For my meal, I ordered the hot mashed potato and chicken wrap and it was quite good and quite filling. There is so much on the menu that looked good, so I wish I could have another opportunity to eat here.

    Overall:

    Food 8/10
    Service 10/10
    Atmosphere 10/10
    Price 8/10

    My Belgian waffle  was good, but my husband's and our son's chicken strips were not great. I will try it again to make sure that this visit wasn't just a one-off. Nice little diner and location, but we were expecting a better food. Some items we ordered did seem a bit overcooked. It is ok for the price point and it has a friendly staff. Not all of us enjoyed their meal. Lots of restaurant options in this area.

    I visited Phillips Avenue Diner on a quick stop in Sioux Falls. It was a spot I'd found here on Yelp, so I was pretty sure it would be a good find. ;)

    The building itself is fun and easy to find from the street. We scored parking right out front, which was nice. The service was great! Our waiter was super attentive and patient. He even brought me the salad dressing label so I could read to figure out if it was gluten and dairy free or not. (That gives them all the stars! I appreciate that SO much as someone with food intolerances!)

    The food was also delicious, and my two dinner mates agreed. I had a salad with grilled chicken that really hit the spot after a day on the road. One friend devoured her Mac n cheese and the other had a nice wrap.

    If you're in downtown Sioux Falls, hit up this place! And if it's a Tuesday, do it during half price shake time. ;)

    This is the cutest diner ever.  We popped in for lunch and couldn't get a table inside so we opted for the outside seating.  Our food was delicious, the service was great and the milkshakes were to die for.  I would highly recommend a visit!
