(Went on a Saturday stayed 730ish to 1030ish) Food- tall ultra I had was soapy tasting and hard to finish, decent smashburger but wasnt blown away. Fries got cold quickly. Side salad was slimy.Service- a bit cold and distant tho I suppose they deal with riff-raff often. Forget the gentleman I had before he clocked out but the night shift bartender (Eric I think) was much nicer to me so shoutout to him. Also never had a place keep my card until I closed out, not even sure thats legal when they have my card info in the system already. Who skips out on a burger a beer?🙄 8pm they pulled all the barstools away to open up space which was a tad annoying and forcibly removed me from mine at 10 which was even more so. Security very ominous watching me like a hawk my entire visit. I know Im a brown guy but this isnt the Pentagon boys, take a chill pill...Atmosphere - spacious and lively especially later into the night but flies were a nuisance early into my visit and the bar clearly hadnt had a good wipe in awhile. The music was a tad too loud, couldnt see myself having a conversation. Good entertainment though. lots of TVs, pool tables, big stage, light show, and darts.Overall I wont be back unless already in the area. Clearly a spot for the younger crowd especially on weekends, and between the limited menu and brutish staff its not a very homely place to enjoy a meal and conversation with friends. If youre over 30 avoid especially later into the night. (Parking is also a nightmare for anyone wondering be prepared to walk)

Decided to eat at Wiley’s during the burger battle 2024. What an amazing burger! I like spice - and this one had a nice spicy undertone that grew in intensity from mild to maybe a 3 - not overpowering but right where you can enjoy!Atmosphere - tonight was a quiet night! You can tell though by design that it is a great place to enjoy time socially - dancing, eating drinks, pool, and more.

You have to try their Brunch! Sat & Sun 11a to 2p, everything was delicious 😋The burger battle 24 was cooked to perfection! The birria on top and dipping sauce made it over the top good!The burger battle 23, West Coast Smasher burger, was delicious!!It tasted like a big mac smash burger 🍔 😋The fries are seasoned well, and their ranch is always great!The chips are perfectly salty and the queso add taco meat is a must!West Coast Smasher 2023 battle burger was so greatTwo of our freshly ground in house hamburger patties, caramalized onions, american cheese, crisp romain lettuce and Wileys’ signature “Animal” sauce topped off with a toasted egg bun.The birria melt is a 10/10, go now!

Terrible service. My wife and I arrived for the brunch at 12 noon to get something before she had to perform in a local play. It was nearly empty, the bar was full but all tables were empty. We had our orders in within 10mins including two entrees. We waited until 12:35 till she couldnt wait any longer and had to leave. I said Id stay and wait for the food. I waited until 12:50 and watched a group of four who had ordered after us receive their food. Absolutely Livid, I approached the bartender and told him Id like to pay for what Id received and no more. After a 40 minute wait for our food I had completely lost my appetite. I recommend only getting drinks if you want prompt service, because at least in that regard they kept up.

This place used to be the spot to go in my early 20s. Then seemingly out of nowhere it became overrun with complete toolbags. I dont drink anymore so I suppose things may have changed but I doubt it. Service has always been poor but thats pretty much every bar. Place was always way too packed and music insanely loud on the weekends. Once upon a time this was my favorite bar.

I am from out of state, and the bouncer at the entrance took my real ID without even checking it. I had to wait outside for over two hours for the cops to arrive, and then the bouncer claimed he never received an ID from me. This was the worst experience ever and completely ruined my fiancés 21st birthday. There needs to be a negligence check because my stepbrother had the same thing happen to him. This is theft and conversion. I highly would NOT recommend any out-of-state people come to this bar due to the corrupt incompetence of the employees.

Made a stop at Wiley’s Bar on a Sunday afternoon. I have walked by Wiley’s for months and not stopped inside. Lots of TV’s, pool tables and dart boards. Plenty of activities. I would prefer a wider selection of bourbon but this isn’t the bar. I did get a Knob Creek and ordered the Pepperoni pizza. Great Crust and sauce.

Walked in around 10pm waited about 15 minutes at the bar while the waitresses just sat behind the counter and talked to each other when i was finally approached by a waitress she was rude and ill tempered I got a drink and after not opening a tab was completely ignored even after wanting to get another drink Atmosphere was great however Looked like a great place to hang out plenty of stuff to do didnt get a chance to try the food I was pretty upset with the service so I paid and walked out.

Decent vibes for a Sunday afternoon but my wings were not fried the way I asked, its like some people are scared to fry wings hard and its sad unfortunately. I went back, got some boneless wings and they were fried to hell and I didnt ask for them to be fried that way. The fries were just as bad.

Love it here! Especially on Friday nights... fishbowl Friday! Its a pitcher. You cant beat that for $12! Always fun with friends. Ive never had their food as I always go here on a Friday night to dance and have fun, but Ive heard its good! The bartenders are great, and lots of security so you feel safe.

Review №28

It was your typical dance club/bar that has been very popular for a long time even back when I was young, . There was a lot of people there but not totally packed. Which I thought was great. And the bar staff did a awesome job with helping customers in a timely fast paced manner but also made the mixed drinks almost perfect for my taste and the 2 people I went with. I had a good time and would likely return sometime.

Review №29

Its not a bad place, I guess, food was just ok for the price you pay. There is no discount for buckets, and you pay for 2 drinks when you order a double. The server was very good to we got our food, and then it was like they disappeared, had to go to the bar to get another drink. Our server did notice that I was up there and decided to leave her booth she was in and come check on us, so maybe she was on some kind of break, I dont know. Overall, like I said, just an ok place.

So I’m 21 turning 22 in a few months, and traveling for work from Missouri. Went in there the other night with some people from work for a beer and something to eat, and gave the bouncer my id. ( Been in there several times and had no problem) He didn’t black light it or nothing and told me to get out or he will call the cops. I politely asked him to black light it or scan it, and tried to tell him I was with other people from other states working up here. He interrupted me and raised his voice, and told me to get out or I’m going to jail. Now I’m stuck up here without an id and have to wait till I can go back home and get a new one

Stopped by here last Saturday night while I was visiting Sioux Falls and seemed to be a fun place to go. The beer prices were average and the crowd seemed chill and friendly which is always good! The patio was nice as well. The only things I didnt like was they closed like 15 or 20 minutes before 2 AM and they closed the restrooms too early as well cause the bouncers wouldnt let me use it right before leaving.

I was in about a half hour after they opened so the service was a little questionable. Glass I had soda served to me was dirty, it happens. The food more than made up for it. I had a bacon cheeseburger, cooked almost perfectly, my friend had shredded beef nachos, huge portion, great flavor, had salsa and sour to go with it. Seems like a great place to go for pool and entertainment. Will definitely go back for the food, fun, and great value!

As the hoster to our memorable nights, Wileys. could we ask bouncers have more.conaideration on the value of customer(s)? 1. near careless engagement occuring by bouncers to see pretty humilated customers dignitys. There is an employee, scheduled for Saturday night whom some personal property (Leatherman multi purpose plier) was trusted to be stored yet later unaccounted for upon the request of it returning. Anywho God bless them anyway

Cool space, OK service, chips and queso were great. Burger Battle burger was just ok, they had a good idea but needed more seasoning. Id go mid day as thats a decent crowd. They have a second bar/ casino in the back where you can smoke inside, which was actually cool and it didnt carry into the main dining area.

Promptly greeted and served drinks. Nice waitress. A little slow on the food, but not aggravatingly so. We had the red lighting tacos (yummy!) and a few burgers. The DTSF burger battle is going on, so we tried the 605 burger, which had really great toppings - the caramelized bacon especially!! The burger meat itself was dry and needed some life to it. The same went for the blue ribbon burger. Toppings were good, but the meat was dry and lacking. Would eat here again no question, but will likely avoid the burgers.

This is low key one of my favorite places to watch sports. Not a fan of the Friday or Saturday night crowd. But every other time, I have had good food, cold beer, and a great view of whatever game I want to see. Good wings too.

My wife and I had been driving for hours during our move from Atlanta to northern Washington (we drove from Missouri on this day of the trip). We decided to stay at an Airbnb directly next door to this place. Our bartender was great, the food was delicious, and the giant draft beers were the perfect size after a whole day of driving. I’d love to come back.

Review №51

Nice place if youre cool with highly populated bars - bring your posse for backup. Great specials, although due to the popularity of this bar it can sometimes be difficult to get a drink. Give your bartender a casual wave if they arent getting around to you, and be sure to tip well.

Review №52

Im from Michigan and stopped in for a few drinks before my ride back home last saturday. It was only 50% capacity but it was still a cool bar with a lot of different spots to chill. From what I hear, its one most popular in the downtown that fill up with a younger crowd of people on weekends. Drinks were pretty reasonably priced too

Review №53

I like the vibe at Willeys, but they are super expensive. Its alomost impossible to order a drink there most nights. Theyre quarter machine is broken by the pool tables so bring quarters if you want to play because getting help from tge bar can take 45 minutes. The outside patio is pretty cool though.

I got The Classic except grilled chicken instead of the burger. It came on an egg bun and came out pretty quickly and it came with thier homemade chips. The sandwich tasted awesome. Chips tasted good too; I just didnt eat that many cause I dont wanna get fat. Drinks are cheap but I guess thats just a thing in South Dakota! The open mic is labeled a mixed mic 🎤 but its mostly singers. I was the only stand up comedian. BIG HUGE open space.

Cool place, a little tough to have a conversation over the music but if you want to dance then this is the place to be. My only complaint is slow service and small bathrooms but the atmosphere and energy make up for it. Its become a staple for my groups occasional bar crawl.

Food is great!!! Their Queso really is something else. Happy Hr is amazing. Tuesday night is Karaoke night, Wednesday is game night, Thursday you can start the weekend off early with their well priced special and the Dance floor. Friday them pitchers be coming in clutch and once again dont get me started with the great music at the dance floor, Saturday night the great vibes continue. Wether you like to socialize or dance like nobody is looking Wileys is where it is at. Did I mention the Queso?!? Always have to go in for the burger of the month. Great service, the staff is amazing. Its the kind of place you just want to keep going back to even if sometimes you dont remember the night. 🖤🥴🖤

Food is pretty good. Service was good. Its quite dark inside, even in early evening. We sometimes go for dinner here before events at Icon. The new branding looks nice. Not overpriced. The gouda mac & cheese is very good. Nachos had a generous portion. Tater tot casserole was ok. The tots on top were the best part. The inside of the casserole was not what I expected-had peppers, which made for a different flavor (not spicy, though).

The only reason I rate this location a 3 is probably because of my age. Adults in their 20s would like this place. Great dance music, bartenders were quick and attentive, and the drinks were well made. The outdoor patio was my favorite as it was a more relaxing atmosphere that I could enjoy.

This is the second time I’ve had staff write their own tips into my receipts!!! I always tip in cash so i cross the tip out on receipts and write the bill amount on the total. Both on separate occasions a $10 tip was added onto a $5 bill. So i was charged 15 dollars. I called for days and they said “the managers not here but we’ll leave a message for them to call back” days go by and i hear nothing and they get ruder and ruder when i call demanding the issue to be sorted. On top of the $20 they just awarded themselves i also left a $10 cash tip. Gonna have to start taking photos of all my receipts when and if i come back here i guess

We went here in early afternoon to experience the much ballyhooed ambience. As our luck would have it, we came in when there was a meeting and after the meeting broke up, they started a construction project near the dance floor that looked pretty major and was over the top loud. It seemed odd they would start this an hour AFTER opening for the day. It was 3 in the afternoon. Sad 😭

Takes them over an hour to make food, at 6PM, on a Saturday, when there’s 10 other people in the bar. Don’t know if they’re understaffed or what, but that wait time is pathetic. Also, the Nashville hot chicken sandwich is awful.

Great downtown bar. Oddly only the 2nd time Ive been here. 1st time was while working for Judd Hoos. Back then they didnt have their back patio or smokers garage.

I enjoy the Staff and have spent many Thursday nights at Wileys, but I honestly can say I dont mind not going.Crowded, Loud, Ratchet, and honestly very disrespectful security staff.However the Drinks, Patio, Pool Tables, Location, and overall majority of Positive experiences there leaves me stuck somewhere in the middle.I wouldnt go there unless you either want to be part of the Drunken Shenanigans or want to spend time in a great space Downtown check it out.

Came here on a few occasions and the first time was great second time was a little bummed.. only reason was the front bar had a few bartenders bartending and I was waiting about five mins to order a drink.. it happens place is busy.. saw a bartender free up and I raised my hand letting him know I wanted to order a drink and he mockingly raises his hand in front of these girls he was talking to.. that was the first time Ive ever experienced something like that.. Ive been in many bars and I enjoy this bar alot just the staff could be a little more friendly towards skins.. maybe I needed a pair of boots but Im going back in!! Great place!!

I have been to Wileys many times, and I usually have a great time when Im there. However, a few nights ago I was treated like a criminal by its staff members. When I brought the issue to managements attention, I received no reply. I wont be returning to Wileys anytime soon. I hope the issue is addressed so customers have more positive experiences.Edit: Greg, the manager (owner), has been looking into what happened for a really long time and hasnt been in touch with me since. I assume hes decided to continue to let his staff assault customers.

My friend came to town to visit from Idaho and although looking young is very much 21. Upon showing his valid state issued Idaho I.D. the bouncer put it in his pocket and he was denied entry and was told to leave or go to jail. Knowing he had a flight back to Idaho that Monday he had to stay and get his I.D. back to get on the flight. About 5 minutes later of the bouncers still stealing my friends ID the bouncers claimed his identification was put through a data base that confirmed it was fake (mind you it is a valid state issued drivers license) and this was a lie. The cops were called by and my friend and brother were violently arrested and only then was he allowed to have his I.D. back. I hope everyone who is from out of state avoids this bar unless you want your I.D. stolen by rude and dim witted bouncers who have no problem assaulting you if you disagree.

I had gone to this bar for the very first time on 10/27/18. The bar was very pack. I had to push my way through the crowd, often getting stuck. It took me 15 minutes to walk up to the bar area and another 15 minutes to get a soda. The staff was extremely rude to not only me, but other customers beside me. I am never likely to return to this location again. Too busy for me.Overall experience: Very Dissatisfied (1 star)

Attempted to come here for a drink after work with boss and co workers while in town on business. My co worker and I were treated like criminals and had to fight to get back our (very real, state issued) SC drivers licenses. We are both 24 years old. Was told I had to leave or go to jail, and was aggressively and repeatedly cursed at by the bouncers there. Felt throughly disrespected and it is the first time I have ever been denied entry to a bar. Horrible experience.

Rude waitress and bartender. Bill was $30, gave Emma $25 gift card and $20 bill to cover the rest and after a 20 minute wait Emma brought back $5change. Then when we asked about the rest she said we would have to wait for the rest and walked away. When we asked again she got the $10 and walked back to our table and slammed it down and walked to the next table. This was our Valentines dinner. We wont be back.

Tonight I went out to the wileys tavern to have a few drinks and a good time, only to find out that they dont allow that. After I decided to go up to their dance floor and enjoy myself, while dancing with some women, did I find out that they dont allow males and females to dance together on their floor. Astounded, I immediately asked to speak to the owner about this sexist rule, but much to my suprise not a single employee could identify their owner to me. After asking 2 waitresses, 2 bartenders, 1 manager, 1 security guard, and the head of the security team I learned that no one who works at this astablishment knows who their boss is. Needless to say, after interacting with these employees I had very little respect for this establishment and its owner, considering their lack of professionalism. I would HIGHLY suggest avoiding this bar, considering their sexist rules, and their unprofessional staff.

I went on a Sunday when it was quiet and not as busy as I know it gets. Because of that it wasnt anything super amazing. But it was fun. Food was mediocre, but also would be a lot better if I had been drinking too.

Had drinks with some coworkers and everything was clean, the waitress stopped by on a pretty regular basis, and it wasnt so loud you couldnt hear the person next to you. Good place, would recommend for a Thursday night drink 😊

Friday fishbowsl for $12 for now I believe. Gets busy after 9pm and tables/seats fill by 10pm. Dance floor busy by 10 or 11pm on Fridays usually.

Food was good . Service was not . Got food no silverware or napkins had to get myself .

I was an employee there. I was fired because I did not work on my day off. Bartenders don’t give good service if customers don’t tip. Employees are lazy an cut corners to make ends meet. Definitely not the place to work or spend your money. Take your money and spend it elsewhere. Wiley’s IS NOT THE PLACE

Good music, large open space, pool tables. We went on a weeknight, so it was relatively empty, fast service. Lots of TVs set to mainly sports channels.

Good food, drinks, bar games, TVs. What more could someone want. Many times they have events with MMA fighters. Just a lot of cool things going on down town.

Wings were ok, chili (puree) was just ok, fruit flies everywhere which means dirty bar. Two 4 One beers, but they have to bring them out at the same time, would have liked to have known that before I ordered a tall!

Probably has the worst service of any bar in downtown Sioux Falls. Which is a shame cause the bar is in a good spot and has a good atmosphere.

Drinks were not run through the till and were the most expensive in Sioux falls, Plus on request receipt not given.Forewarned, the bar is big but employees still has the small minded approach to costumersBest advice is to avoid as there are many other places to eat, drink.

More then a bar, it turned into a packed night club, with darts and pool. They have a wonderful out door bar that is to die for. all in all we had a blast on our mini vaca.
