Sioux Falls Restaurants Step Up With Free Parking For Diners

As Sioux Falls continues to add more and more of the trappings of a big city, certain things come with those additions that aren't always popular with the locals.

One of the biggest changes to hit South Dakota's largest city recently is a reduction in free parking options in and around the downtown area.

Fewer Free Options

For years, visitors could enjoy free parking downtown on Saturdays, but that option has now been eliminated.

The city's newest spot where paid parking is the norm is The Steel District, which opened last fall, just south of Falls Park.

New Free Option

But now the company that operates a trio of restaurants in the complex is doing something about that.

SDR Hospitality, which runs Big Sioux Burger, Dahlia Kitchen + Bar, and Ironwood Steakhouse, has unveiled a free parking option for diners at those establishments.

SDR is now offering free parking in The Steel District Ramp.

The Offer

According to their website:

'At the conclusion of your meal, simply ask your server for parking validation and you’ll get a QR code that you can scan when you exit the ramp.'
