Restaurant roundup: New brunches, Oktoberfest arrives, kitchen closes
Sept. 16, 2021
Now that the NFL season has arrived, Let It Fly has added brunch from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Sundays. The menu features six items: breakfast chimi, French toast, breakfast sandwich, breakfast pizza, the Let It Fly omelet and The American, which is two eggs, toast, bacon or sausage, and breakfast potatoes or fruit. Diners also can start ordering from the full menu at 11 a.m. Get $5 decanters of mimosas all day in orange, cranberry, pineapple or apple cider.
Glacial Lakes Distillery and Brewhouse has added Sunday “liquid” brunch hours with a limited drink menu. Stop in from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. for a sangria, bloody mary, mimosa or beer. NFL football games will be on in the background.
Heading to an Augustana football game this weekend? Don’t miss the new JJ’s Beer Garden at KO Stadium. JJ’s is set up for every home game behind the east grandstand with adult beverages, including 12 beers on taps with an emphasis on local brews.
Because of staffing issues, Taphouse41 is closed on Mondays now in addition to Sundays. Hours are 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday and 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday. The bar and grill, which features burgers, brews and bourbon, also dropped its featured burger for Fridays – the lobster burger – citing a “dramatic increase” in the price of lobster. Taphouse41 says it will return once the price becomes “more reasonable.”
Fernson Downtown is temporarily closing its kitchen because of staffing. “We feel this is the right decision as we aim to deliver the most thoughtful experiences,” Ferguson said in a post. “In the meantime, we invite you to show love and support to our downtown neighbors by bringing their to-go food to Fernson, and enjoy the same great space, faces, and beverages.”
Here’s a new take on happy hour for breakfast. Stop in at the Sioux Falls Food Co+op from 7 to 9 a.m., order any entree and you’ll get a free drip coffee.
Flyboy Donuts are now available in more of the Get-n-Go convenience stores all around Sioux Falls as well as in Tea.
