New restaurant to open in northwest Sioux Falls

There’s a new restaurant coming to an area of Sioux Falls that could use additional dining options.

Craig Nelson plans to open Northstar Grill & Pub at 60th Street North and Career Avenue on the northwest edge of the city.

Nelson has owned The Recovery Room at 1004 W. 18th St. for the past 15 years.

The new location will give him more space, especially for parking.

“This will be a lot better for sure,” he said.

The menu is still being developed but will be classic American bar and grill food, he said.

“It kind of depends on who I get for a cook how fancy it will get.”

The 4,000-square-foot building will be about 25 percent larger than his current space.

Finding land was challenging, he said, but he likes the opportunity he sees in the northwest part of town.

“There’s quite a few businesses up there and basically Denny’s and Burger King and not much else,” he said.

The new restaurant will be near the growing University Hills development, which expects to eventually reach 2,000 residents, and an industrial park developed by the Sioux Falls Development Foundation.

“The location of the Northstar Grill & Pub is an important step for continued development in the northwestern corner of the community,” said Dean Dziedzic, vice president of the Sioux Falls Development Foundation.

“With other land available for development in this area, we’re excited to see new services added to complement this area’s recent growth in residential and retail. We’re looking forward to more announcements in 2018.”

The plan is to start some dirt work on the restaurant site this year, but most of the construction will start in the spring.
