1481 Grille

Good food, free popcorn, extremely friendly service. We were looking for a restaurant that served vegetables and were on our way into Brookings from De Smet. This was the first place on highway 14 (which is briefly both 14 & highway 81, hence the name). My husband said that his Tuesday steak special (8 oz. plus salad and vegetables) for $9.95 was fantastic, perfectly cooked. I had a yummy soup and salad, with several different veggies in there. Now, in all honesty, the veg that appeared on the plate was probably frozen, but it was fine and much healthier than the iceberg lettuce salads we have been eating. To sum up, this is a good restaurant in an unexpected location and well worth the trip down the road if you want more than DQ in this corner of the US.
