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.
