Experience Through Their Eyes

Love love love this place! The salad bar was fresh and well stocked. The coffee drink was not the over flavored, over sugared drink that is so common at small town cafes, it was a quality drink. They have a gluten free pizza crust which did not disappoint. Love the Wessington Springs community and this store is a wonderful addition.

Ate here last Friday night, and are already making plans to go back. There was no wait, and all of our meals were absolutely delicious! The prime rib was perfectly done to our orders, service was quick, and the salad bar boasted a variety of fresh items - all nestled into a cool old brick building. Their coffee menu and baked goods looked tempting too! We wish we would have known about this cozy, electic eatery sooner, but now we'll just have to make up for lost time. ;D

Oh my! A gem of a little restaurant in small town South Dakota. Adorably decorated, delicious food, charming. Definitely worth a drive to get to it. It is off of Highway 34 and not visible from the Highway.

We did a small bridal shower at Sweet Grass. From the moment I spoke to Heather on the phone to the end of the shower, everyone was so gracious! The atmosphere, service and food was amazing.
