How far in advance should I make a reservation?

For Friday through Sunday reservations should be placed at least one week in advance. For holidays and special events, reservations should be placed three to four weeks in advance.

Yes. Let your server know you'd like to meet the chef, and when the kitchen has a moment, the chef will stop by your table.

Are dietary restrictions and allergies accommodated?

Yes, we do our best to make all requested accommodations.

Paid street parking is available along Phillips Avenue, and there is a parking ramp directly behind the restaurant with a back entrance into Crawford's. Both are free after 5 PM and all day on weekends.

Is there a dress code?

No, we don't have a dress code. Come as you are, whether you're stopping in after work or celebrating a special night.

Do you sell gift cards?

Yes. You can buy Crawford's gift cards on our Gift Cards page and have them mailed or pick them up at the restaurant.

Can you host a private event?

Yes. Our upper level hosts private events for up to 45 guests, from birthdays and rehearsal dinners to business dinners. Visit our Private Events page to request a date.

Downtown Sioux Falls' Historic Steakhouse

Dry-aged steaks, award-winning plates and a serious cocktail bar inside the 1896 Bauch's Meats building on Phillips Avenue.

In 1896, Louis Bauch, one of Sioux Falls' first butchers, opened Bauch's Meats at 214 S. Phillips Avenue. His quartzite walls are still here, and so is the cleaver we found hidden inside them. The 1963 Crawford's Men's Wear logo in our entry gave us our name. Today the Ode family carries on the butcher's craft with dry-aged steaks from a kitchen that likes to compete.

Red couches with a lamp on a side table, all against a brick wall.
