When it comes to dining in South Dakota, there are a TON of options, and it can be tough to decide where to start. This summer, then, why not choose to experience the beautiful outdoors alongside an amazing meal? I think yes! Take, for example, the amazing outdoor restaurant in South Dakota known as Granite City Brewery; this amazing eatery is mostly outside (and partially inside) and offers up a truly delicious menu with lots of tasty options. Let's check it out!

Welcome to Granite City, an amazing modern restaurant with a killer menu and lots of amazing patio space perfect for a summer day.

Here, you'll find a delightful assortment of lunch and dinner options, all of which are delicious.

Personally, I'm a fan of the juicy burgers, but lots of folks also rave about the steak and salmon.

I mean, come on -

- just look at it (and try not to lick your screen).

But, in all seriousness, there's nothing on this amazing menu at this gorgeous restaurant that you can possibly go wrong with; other classics include baked salmon (amazing), buffalo mac and cheese, salads, and, of course, a hearty dessert menu.

The real draw is, in my opinion, not necessarily the menu - it's the absolutely amazing outdoor dining area.

Surrounded by trees and peaceful shade, a fan favorite thing about the whole place is probably a tie between the overall vibe and the food itself.

It's a laid-back, quiet experience that you'll find yourself thinking about time and time again after you've left.

It's worthy of a day trip to Sioux Falls just for the food, but the outdoor patio vibes are positively delightful. Best of all, there's plenty to do in town other than just eat - you can really turn it into a whole thing if you so choose.

Of course, if outdoor dining isn't your thing, you can still dine indoors.

The interior is just as lovely as the exterior - admittedly with fewer trees!
