The Maple Building

The Maple Building on Phillips Avenue in Sioux Falls has established itself as a reliable anchor of the city's downtown dining and drinking scene, blending craft cocktail culture with upscale pub food in a comfortable, stylish setting. The building is a repurposed historic commercial space with exposed brick, timber beams, and industrial lighting that give it a gastropub character distinct from older Sioux Falls bars. The Maple Burger has become the restaurant's signature plate — a generously built burger with quality beef, artisan cheese, and housemade condiments that has been cited repeatedly as one of the city's better versions of the form. Truffle fries, crisp and generously seasoned, are the most popular accompaniment. The bar program is strong: a rotating selection of local and regional craft beers on draft, a carefully considered cocktail list, and a wine selection that goes deeper than a typical pub. The kitchen operates into the late evening, making The Maple Building useful both as a dining destination and a late-night food option when most Sioux Falls kitchens have closed. The atmosphere is lively, particularly Thursday through Saturday when the Phillips Avenue corridor comes alive; noise levels are elevated. Walk-ins are generally welcome throughout the week, though calling ahead for larger groups is advisable.
