Morrie’s Steakhouse has a well earned reputation for being one of the best fine dining restaurants in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. It’s also a family owned business that has been running in town for decades. Here you get the best of both worlds, the attentive service and dedication of a local business and the haute cuisine of a fine dining experience.
The restaurant is named for Morrie Richards, a lifelong farmer from Ipswich, South Dakota who developed strong ties to the local community and the hospitality industry.
A picture of Morrie and his wife still sits in the entryway to the restaurant. The family elder is always looking down on his legacy. It's also a heartfelt reminder to guests that the upscale spot is, at its heart, a small, local business.
Like any good steakhouse, the meat is the star of the show. The steak selection ranges from Morgan Ranch bone-in Tomahawk Wagyu ribeye to a pecan bacon wrapped filet mignon.
Sides include lobster mashed potatoes, jalapeno creamed corn and other innovative takes on old classics. For non-meat eaters a robust seafood menu and a cauliflower steak beckon.
Morrie's channels a classic luxury vibe a la The Great Gatsby. Their goal is to have every patron enjoying themselves like it's the Roaring Twenties. To just enjoy cocktails or lighter bites, check out the well appointed lounge.
Steak never goes out of style, especially in the heart of the Midwest. At Morrie’s Steakhouse diners can enjoy the fruit of the countryside with style and elegance, all while supporting a local, family-owned business.
