Kahill is a awesome restaurant with signature steak dishes. Its just right besides the Missouri river. Pick a table towards the right side as you enter the restaurant. I am a vegetarian, thought there are not too many options I could get one.

This was a great meal. Everything was on point. The lobster was especially beautiful! The Chef and Sous Chef run a quality operation. My only complaint was there should be an optional beverage/wine pairing for a meal of this caliber. Maybe move one of the...MoreHi, OysterAddict - Thank you for this great review!

3. La Juanita

Reviewed By Eric S - Minneapolis, Minnesota
La Juanita lives up to the hype! My wife and I visited while passing through Sioux City and were very impressed. We had a burrito, a taco and the nacho fries, all of which was amazing and fresh. The burrito is basically meat without all of the other fillers like rice and beans added by others restaurants. Beans and rice on the side made for a full meal deal. The prices are great as well. The restaurant is a classic hole in the wall which makes the ambiance perfect Mexican fast food. I highly recommend La Juanita.

Best ribs around. The menu offers many choices and combinations along with dinners for two & four. Service has that "forced friendly" quality,a bit over the top. Servers can be slightly intrusive. Great selection of draft beer, If you're with a large group, make a reservation. The ribs are with the trip alone!

I've eaten here about 4 times in the past few months, including this past Friday. The menu has so many options without being overwhelming. Everything we've ordered and tried has been truly delicious, especially the burgers, which isn't something I normally order at places. But the jalapeno popper burger was awesome, the Turkey burger I had Friday was so juicy & full of flavor, and the sweet potato fries are probably the best I've had. One thing I get almost everytime I go, is the pizza dip appetizer. It's a cast iron skillet of pizza sauce, real cheese, and little cubed pepperoni - it is sooo good! Service has always been good too. There is a bar on one side of the restaurant, and plenty of tables on the otherside - I didn't feel uncomfortable having my kids dine here with us - it's nice, clean establishment. Definetly recommend if you are in Sioux City.

I thought it was pretty remarkable how well this place looked like a Irish Pub from the outside to the inside. I had been to Dublin and they did a great job. Plenty of beer on tap and food choices. If they were in my hometown I would be a regular.

This is the best Thai restaurant in Sioux City located in an average but safe neighborhood. The decor and ambience is probably not very high end but food is really good. We go there all the time when we visit Sioux City
