Other Restaurants in South Dakota

While South Dakota may be known for its sweeping prairies and Mount Rushmore, Guy Fieri discovered that the state’s culinary scene holds its own surprises. With 2 restaurants featured on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, all located in Sioux Falls, the show highlighted the city’s emerging food culture in 2021. These establishments have earned an impressive average rating of 4.3 stars from diners who’ve followed Guy’s trail.

Leading the pack is Lalibela, a Sioux Falls gem serving authentic Ethiopian cuisine that earned a stellar 4.8-star rating. This restaurant brings the rich, spice-forward flavors of East Africa to the heart of the Midwest. Also featured was Urban Chislic, which showcased South Dakota’s signature dish—cubed, deep-fried meat that’s a regional specialty. Unfortunately, Urban Chislic has since closed its doors, leaving Lalibela as the sole surviving Triple D destination in the state. For food lovers exploring South Dakota, these Guy-approved spots represent the adventurous spirit that makes Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives such a beloved guide to America’s hidden culinary treasures.
