Though small in square footage (waiting is a given on weekends), JL Beers is big on authentic flavor. Pro tip: with alcoholic beverages taking center stage, only those 21 and up are allowed entry, sorry underclassmen.<\/p>\n That wide selection of beverages alone is worth navigating the downtown parking scene for a trip to JL Beers. With a rotating menu of tap, bottled and \u201cbeertail\u201d offerings, it\u2019s hard to know where to begin when ordering a drink. But that\u2019s a good problem to have. The restaurant also boasts a selection of beer flights if you\u2019re in the mood to try a cadre of flavors, sweeter ales and mixed brews. And for the traditionalist, anything from Miller Lite to Budweiser is permanently on tap.<\/p>\n Beer may be the star of the JL Beers show, but burgers are what give the restaurant its staying power.<\/p>\n Though not as wide-ranging as the drink list, the burger offerings are sure to satisfy any beef aficionado. Start with the classics\u2014the original hamburger stand burger, the great American cheeseburger or the classic burger\u2014and move on to more adventurous fare with the rajun cajun, Mt. Mushmore or the commander in beef. No one burger tops $7, and most are under $5. JL Beers also offers chicken sandwiches, and any hamburger patty can be substituted for a black bean burger with wild rice and quinoa for 99 cents.<\/p>\n Oh, and don\u2019t forget about the fries.<\/p>\n Cut and fried in-house using cholesterol-free soybean oil, you can\u2019t go wrong with a simple sea salt seasoning for $3.19. Cajun, cheddar, BBQ and parmesan garlic seasonings are also available for the same price, while buffalo BLU, BLT BLU and loaded fries will set you back into the $5 range.<\/p>\n A more city-center bar than traditional burger stand, the interior of JL Beers is a haven of high-top tables, big screen TVs and baskets upon baskets of burgers. The food comes quickly, but as previously mentioned, the wait to get a table might not. As the restaurant\u2019s tagline says: \u201cseating for 1,000 \u2026 47 at a time.\u201d If you\u2019re in the 47 you\u2019re one of the lucky ones. If not, it might be 47 more minutes before you taste that mouth-watering bovine patty.<\/p>\n On the upside, there\u2019s no table required to order a drink. So pop a squat and chat with your pals, otherwise heading back on a weeknight is always an option, as the restaurant is open daily from 11 a.m. to midnight.<\/p>\n JL Beers isn\u2019t just your typical sports bar. It\u2019s quirkier than that. The downtown high-low vibe continues once you step inside the restaurant\u2019s door. Adorned with exposed brick and old-fashioned brewing paraphernalia, the bar dominates the majority of the space. As it should. But so does a painting of a medieval knight conquering a keg and a display where you can send postcards asking friends to buy you a beer in German. It\u2019s these hints of self-deprecation that show JL Beers is in on the joke, inviting patrons to laugh along.<\/p>\n So what\u2019s better than beer, fries and local brews? Maybe an evening spent at JL Beers, with a postcard to prove it.<\/p>\n www.augiemirror.com<\/a><\/p>\n THE LOCAL BEST 2016 – SIOUX FALLS<\/strong><\/p>\n Voted #1 Burger in Sioux Falls four years straight!<\/p>\n www.thelocalbest.com<\/a><\/p>\n Voted #1 Burger in Sioux Falls three years in a row!<\/p>\n www.thelocalbest.com<\/a><\/p>\n Voted #1 Burger in Sioux Falls two years in a row!<\/p>\n www.thelocalbest.com<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Written by: Virginia Olson for The Argus Leader<\/em> on November 6th, 2014 \u201cWe are big on burgers, big on beer and big on service,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n The only alcohol served is beer \u2014 there are 40 on tap. \u201cWe are a bar first,\u201d Wilson says. \u201cFrom craft beer to domestics, we rotate. Patrons can always expect something new to choose from.\u201d<\/p>\n When it comes to food, it\u2019s all about burgers. There are 11 no-nonsense burgers. The most popular? It\u2019s the Humpty Dumpty \u2014 a burger topped with a fried egg and cheese. At $4.49, the price is right, too, Wilson says. With the grill directly behind the bar, diners can watch all the preparation. \u201cWe do one thing when it comes to food, and we do it as best as we possibly can,\u201d Wilson says. \u201cOur food isn\u2019t complex. We have a great burger menu but encourage our customers to build their own. Burgers are part of the experience.\u201d<\/p>\n When it comes to service, beer advising and interaction with customers is also huge at JL Beers. \u201cWhat makes JL Beers a great bar is what the staff brings,\u201d Wilson says. \u201cThey are friendly, know about the beer and can help patrons decide what is best.\u201d<\/p>\n Not sure what to choose? Wilson recommends beer flights \u2014 five 5-ounce brews ranging in price from $9 to $10.75.<\/p>\n To make sure the word gets out about the restaurant, diners can send Beermail \u2014 postcards from JL Beers.

The Best Cheap Burgers at JL Beers<\/strong><\/p>\n Forget Five Guys. Everyone in Sufu knows JL Beers is the place to go for burgers on a budget. You can add as many extras (including patties) as you want, so some locals come to reenact Man Vs. Food style challenges.<\/p>\n www.movoto.com<\/a><\/p>\n JL Beers is the winner of the first Downtown Burger Battle.<\/p>\n Featured burgers from seven restaurants vied for the title. Diners rated them in five categories: burger, presentation, toppings, bun and value.<\/p>\n JL Beers logged the highest average points for the restaurant\u2019s Humpty Dumpty Burger, which includes a hamburger patty, cheese and a fried egg.<\/p>\n More than 1,600 rating slips were submitted by the seven participating restaurants during the promotion.<\/p>\n www.siouxfallsbusinessjournal.com<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Voted #1 Burger in Sioux Falls!<\/p>\n www.thelocalbest.com<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Written by: Polly Dean of 605 Magazine<\/em>, June 2012<\/p>\n Burgers and beer. Not a lot of American traditions trump that.1 Nowadays you can go anywhere for a burger and a beer. You could just stay at home, make a decent patty, and get a 12-pack to share with your friends. I\u2019m here to tell you, though, that if you forego the restaurant route, you\u2019re missing out on the newest gem to hit Sioux Falls.<\/p>\n JL Beers recently opened in DTSF2 and is creating all sorts of buzz on Phillips Avenue. Need a fast lunch stop during your break? Need a place when you\u2019re out with friends for a drink and bite to eat? Are you a couple looking for a low key date spot? Look no further than this quaint eatery.3 This is exactly what the heart of downtown needed: A location that doesn\u2019t take reservations, doesn\u2019t play techno after 9 p.m., and welcomes everyone…even if you have a hole in your jeans.4<\/p>\n Upon entering, expect a wait. They don\u2019t give you a little buzzer that goes off when your table is ready. In its place, they give you a beer menu.5 There is bar seating and five to six tables max. The tables are situated right behind the bar seating, so if you\u2019re looking for a private, romantic, secluded table, head elsewhere. On the other hand, if you\u2019re looking for anything fun, grab a beer and wait. It\u2019s well worth it. JL Beers is entirely self-seating, so you\u2019re responsible for finding yourself a chair or table. Be aware that when you walk in some other people may have been waiting longer than you, and you have two options: 1. Let them get the first open seats that come available as a common courtesy, or 2. Go all \u201cHunger Games\u201d on them and swipe the first seat open you spot regardless of order or human decency.6 I suppose you also have a third option: Ask them their name and join them! Have a beer, a burger and meet a new friend. Not everyone will think this is a good idea. Some may even label you as a creeper. You win some, you lose some.7<\/p>\n When you get a seat, be prepared for nothing short of amazing. I highly suggest ordering a \u201cFlight of Beer.\u201d You get five sample sizes of different brews within different categories to test and grade. The beers come on a wooden plank in order so you can order more of whichever kind you like. I tried the Seasonal Flight and the Midwest Flight, and both were phenomenal.8 Granted, there were beers on these flights that I could hardly stomach and only sipped, but I still appreciated the taste and knowledge of what I prefer versus what I\u2019m not a fan of.<\/p>\n To compliment my beer flight, I ordered a few of their most popular menu items. First, I ordered the Best Beer Cheese Dip Ever9 with a side of their fresh-cut chips. Each of the items lived up to its name. The fresh cut chips are literally cut in a machine that takes an entire potato and spiral-cuts it to make giant, crispy chips. The beer cheese dip is served nice and warm, and was delicious on the chips, the fries, and the burger.10 I\u2019m not sure there is much of anything that it wouldn\u2019t taste great on.<\/p>\n My burger arrived shortly after the dip and about half the way through my Midwestern Flight. I ordered the Slaw Burger, which is one of their fresh ground chuck patties, coleslaw, BBQ sauce, and their freshly-baked bun. Four-ounce patties at JL Beers give their burgers a distinctly different look and taste than other restaurants that sometimes use eight-ounce patties. You can taste the patty, but it isn\u2019t the only thing you bite into. Smaller patties leave room for extra toppings and sauces that would normally be overpowered by a larger burger. You can add a fried egg and order the Humpty Dumpty,11 you can add some peppers and provolone cheese to make it a Philly cheeseburger. Options for your meal flow as freely as the tap beer choices at this establishment.<\/p>\n The concept is simple. Choose a niche and do it as best as you possibly can. Menus at JL Beers are small, and there are no pages to turn. Everything you need is in a few sections. Fantastic burgers, fresh cut fries or chips, customizable dips, and a beer to complete the experience.12 JL Beers has nailed it with their simplistic menu, phenomenal food, stellar service, and laid back atmosphere.13<\/p>\n Atmosphere 4 \/ 5<\/strong> Quaint is the polite way of saying this place is…well, small. If your party is large, be prepared to do a lot of finagling of chairs or possibly not even sitting together. Take whatever seat you can get. With the fast-paced food and service, one can feel a tad bit rushed while trying to enjoy a meal or brews. If you want to sit and stay for a while, just be prepared to keep ordering. Also, the place is just fun. They have a thing called \u201cbeer mail\u201d where you can write out a postcard, hand it to the server, they call out \u201cBeer mail!\u201d and they will send it to whomever you want.<\/p>\n Service 5 \/ 5<\/strong> From the moment I walked in, I was treated as though I was a regular. The staff attempts to help each person find a spot to sit, and if they can\u2019t they ensure you they\u2019ll get you a beer in no time. All the questions I had were answered graciously, and they don\u2019t judge if you don\u2019t know a lot about beer. They will take the time to help you find your perfect ale.<\/p>\n FOOD 5 \/ 5<\/strong> I couldn\u2019t find one thing wrong with the food. It was spectacular. As I\u2019m typing this I\u2019m also Googling their phone number to put in an order for pick-up tonight for supper. Their burgers are creative, juicy, and are very reasonably priced. The portions of fries were a little smaller than normal, which can be a downer if you\u2019re in the mood for some home-cooked fries. But at $2.39 for a side of fresh fries, you could always order two! The buns are toasted fluffy and warm, the burgers are crispy, and the toppings are not too heavy or too light. Amazing.<\/p>\n [1] I feel d\u00e9j\u00e0 vu typing that…didn\u2019t I say that about pizza? Or bagels? I\u2019m seeing a correlation between eating and \u201cbeing American,\u201d but being a food writer…. I\u2019m okay with that.<\/p>\n [2] Woot Woot! Go downtown Sioux Falls!! If you haven\u2019t been downtown lately, get your butts off 41st Street and check it out!!<\/p>\n [3] Don\u2019t blink while you\u2019re driving down Phillips Avenue or you might miss it!<\/p>\n [4] A certain establishment downtown asked a certain member of our community to leave said place because he wasn\u2019t properly dressed…. they didn\u2019t know that every other day of the week he wears suits. Woops!<\/p>\n [5] Don\u2019t mind if I do. Then you actually lose track of your wait time!<\/p>\n [6] Either way, the bartenders don\u2019t care…they are there to cook burgers and serve beer.<\/p>\n [7] They do encourage \u201ccommunity seating\u201d where you share a table if you don\u2019t fill it. It\u2019s awkward the first couple minutes, and then you keep eating or drinking and forget.<\/p>\n [8] Don\u2019t judge, I shared them with a friend. Be advised, the samples are quite large. If you\u2019re going over lunch, make sure your boss is okay with you coming back with a slightly happier demeanor.<\/p>\n [9] Why wouldn\u2019t you order something with a name like that? I felt like Will Ferrel in \u201cElf\u201d when he discovered the \u201cWorld\u2019s Best Cup of Coffee.\u201d<\/p>\n [10] Okay, now you can judge me.<\/p>\n [11] If you haven\u2019t had an egg on your burger yet, you haven\u2019t lived.<\/p>\n [12] And bloating\u2026<\/p>\n [13] As I was eating my burger, I realized \u201cShoop\u201d was playing in the background…What activity wouldn\u2019t be made better by a little Salt \u2018n Pepa?<\/p>\n www.605magazine.com<\/a><\/p>\n Written by: Mary Michaels of Etc. For Her<\/em>, June 2012<\/p>\n \u201cWhen I read about the evils of drinking beer\u2026..I stopped reading.\u201d<\/p>\n That quote is attributed to \u201cJL Beers\u201d and is one of several witty quotes displayed (and for sale) on t-shirts at JL Beers and Great American Burgers, which opened in April on the 300 block of South Phillips Avenue.<\/p>\n The North Dakota-based company got its start in Fargo back in 2009 and by October 2010, JL Beers was named \u201cbest burger joint in North Dakota\u201d by USA Today. After expanding into West Fargo, Moorhead and Grand Forks, the ownership group looked south.<\/p>\n \u201cThe ownership group knows the business climate and culture in Sioux Falls,\u201d says general manager Brian Wilson. \u201cThey felt that opening here in Sioux Falls \u2013 especially downtown \u2013 would be a good fit for JL Beers.\u201d<\/p>\n The d\u00e9cor of the place certainly fits the unique and trendy feel of many downtown shops, bars and eateries. The painted brick wall just inside the door sports their motto, \u201cSeating for 1000 \u2013 47 at a time.\u201d JL Beers encourages community seating to help customers to get to know one another as well as enhance the speed to getting one of the 47 chairs.<\/p>\n Tall black tables and metallic silver chairs, ductwork overhead and \u201cindustrial art\u201d on the wall are just a few of the unique features inside JL Beers. Be sure to check out the paper towel spools on each table that feature handles of different beer taps.<\/p>\n You can also sit at the long bar counter to view the selection of bottled beers on the shelves or the 40 taps currently being offered. The InFOAMation board behind the bar posts the current beer features. Sitting a little farther down the bar you can watch the JL Beers cooks making those fresh burgers, fries and chips. Perhaps the most interesting view is the table next to the window looking into the cooler where you can watch the next keg being tapped.<\/p>\n JL Beers has their own brand of brews, and there are always at least two of their own beers on tap. While some tap beers may be standard offerings, most are changed out as soon as the keg is gone.<\/p>\n \u201cWe want to give our customers a unique experience and let them have the chance to try a wide variety of beers,\u201d says Wilson. \u201cSo, we may change anywhere from one to seven taps each week.<\/p>\n Wilson says they produce a beer menu on a regular basis with the current lineup of tap beers, but that can easily be outdated by the time it\u2019s printed.<\/p>\n So, with beers changing almost daily, how can you keep track of what\u2019s on tap? There\u2019s an app for that! The JL Beers app for iPhone and Android will let you know the current offerings. You can search by JL Beers location, the beer\u2019s origin or beer style \u2013 as well as rate the beers you try.<\/p>\n For even faster updates, text JLBEERS323 to 46786.<\/p>\n The text club has proven to be popular already in North Dakota, and he expects the Sioux Falls customers to appreciate it as well. \u201cIn some of our other locations, we\u2019ve sent out a text about a new beer just being tapped and the keg was gone in a day.\u201d<\/p>\n If you are enjoying the JL Beers experience, you can let your friends know by sending them Beer Mail. Write a message on a preprinted postcard inviting them to join you there the next time \u2013 and the staff will take care of the postage and drop it in the mail for you.<\/p>\n The cold brews certainly get first mention in the establishment\u2019s name, but the burgers deserve more than a passing mention.<\/p>\n All of the burgers at JL Beers are made with fresh ground beef and served on a fresh baked bun. For basic burger lovers, you might prefer the Original Hamburger Stand Burger with pickles and special sauce or the Great American Burger with cheese, pickles and ketchup. JL Beers paid tribute to its new home city by adding a locally-named burger to its menu \u2013 the Phillips Ave. Burger with bacon, cheese, barbeque sauce and a hamburger patty with barbeque rub.<\/p>\n Other more adventurous burgers are the BLT BLU\u00ae, Rajun Cajun and the Slaw Burger. Exclusive to JL Beers is their famous Humpty Dumpty Burger\u00ae with cheese and a fried egg.<\/p>\n The fresh cut fries or chips are the perfect accompaniment for the burgers. You can get them with just classic sea salt or add a little zip with Cajun, Jalapeno Cheddar or BBQ Seasoning. For something extra, they offer a variety of dips like Cajun Lime, Ranch, BBQ Ranch, Chipotle and what they hail as the \u201cBest Beer Cheese Dip Ever.\u201d Another tasty option is to order the Buffalo BLU Fries or Chips\u2026they are topped with buffalo sauce and blue cheese.<\/p>\n No meal is complete without dessert, and JL Beers has that covered as well with its 1919 Root Beer Float, featuring the famous 1919 Root Beer (caffeine and gluten free) paired with Schwan\u2019s creamy vanilla ice cream.<\/p>\n One important note: you must be 21 to enter JL Beers. But, you can always get orders to go!<\/p>\n Great service is a priority for JL Beers, says Wilson. \u201cDuring a customer\u2019s time with us, they are likely to meet several members of our team. That is why we all wear a tag with our name as well as our personal favorite beer on it. We also provide guests with nametags so that we can get to know them and serve them better.\u201d<\/p>\n It\u2019s a little reminiscent of \u201cCheers\u201d (of television sitcom fame). Now Sioux Falls has its own place where everybody knows your name.<\/p>\n www.etcsiouxfalls.com<\/a><\/p>\n JL Beers: A good first impression. And a quirk. <\/strong><\/p>\n Written by: Cory Myers of the Argus Leader<\/em> on April 18th, 2012<\/p>\n And while I never solidify an opinion after one visit, early indications are I\u2019ll be visiting JL Beers often.<\/p>\n As expected, the place was packed for lunch. Their website jokes they have seating for 1,000 people, 47 people at a time. Don\u2019t doubt it.<\/p>\n I ordered The \u201cHumpty Dumpty Burger\u201d (fried egg added) and \u201cThe JL Burger\u201d (two patties, cheese and sauteed onions), along with an order of jalapeno cheese fries with an order of what they call the \u201cBest Beer Cheese Dip Ever.\u201d<\/p>\n Both burgers were awesome, the fresh ground beef and buttered buns were, well, fresh. I ended up putting some Sriracha on both, and this was especially good on the egg burger.<\/p>\n The fries were good, crisp and not greasy. Good as they were alone, they became addictive when the beer cheese dip was added. That stuff is for real. I want some more, right NOW, and I\u2019m still totally full. I don\u2019t know what the recipe is, but if that stuff was sold retail, I\u2019m pretty sure my freezer would be filled with it in case they ran out of it or something and I needed a fix.<\/p>\n So good.<\/p>\n For the tech geeks, they have an app for iPhone and Android that\u2019ll let you know the beer lineup, search by style or popularity and rate the beers for other users. Pretty cool.<\/p>\n One warning though: they do not have faucets installed to serve water. When I asked for water my server asked if bottled was okay. I said yes, knowing I would likely be charged for this. Yep; $1.50. Not a huge deal, but just so you know. Also, no water means no ice for your soda if you order that. You\u2019ll get a can and a frosty glass, but no ice. Again, just FYI.<\/p>\n foodfalls.tumblr.com<\/a><\/p>\n Written by: Argus Leader Staff on April 18th, 2012<\/p>\n The North Dakota-based company has 40 beers on tap as well as dozens of import bottles and 10 styles of burgers along with fresh-cut chips and fries.<\/p>\n “This is our first one in South Dakota and we hope to do some more,” co-owner Warren Ackley said.<\/p>\n Tom Bueling of Fargo was the first customer at the Sioux Falls location. “It’s just fantastic,” he said.<\/p>\n Unique to this JL Beers location is a glass walk-in cooler where customers can watch a fresh keg of their favorite brew being tapped.<\/p>\n www.argusleader.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Voted Best In Burgers THE LOCAL BEST 2025 – SIOUX FALLS Voted #1 Burger in Sioux Falls thirteen years straight! www.thelocalbest.com<\/a> Voted Best In Burgers THE LOCAL BEST 2024 – SIOUX FALLS Voted #1 Burger in Sioux Falls twelve years straight! www.thelocalbest.com<\/a> Voted Best In Burgers THE LOCAL BEST 2023 – SIOUX FALLS Voted #1 … Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":4,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-12","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\nVoted Best In Burgers<\/h2>\n

A sign inside JL Beers says it best: \u201cSeating 1,000 people a day 47 at a time.\u201d Yes, JL Beers is small. But general manager Brian Wilson promises the downtown bar is big on everything else.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cWe mail out roughly 3,000 postcards a month,\u201d Wilson says. \u201cThey have been great for business and have brought in customers from all over the U.S. They tell us, \u2018We got your postcard and just had to try this place.\u2019 \u201d<\/p>\n
\nAnswer: We are a beer-obsessed chain, so JL Beers stands for \u201cJust Lots of Beers.\u201d No, really it is named after Fargo businessman Jim Lauerman.<\/p>\n
\nA: It is a franchise that began in Fargo in 2009. There are now eight JL Beers in the country.<\/p>\n
\nA: It gives the customer the idea of the flavor profile of the beer and the amount of alcohol.<\/p>\n
\nA: It is one of our primary marketing tools. Of course, there is Twitter and Facebook, but our text club is unique. We can send out features and promotions and updates on new beers. Text JLBEERS323 to 46786 to join.<\/p>\n25 Things People From Sioux Falls Can’t Live Without<\/h2>\n

I\u2019ll admit this place basically had me hooked with just their name. JL Beers? Forty beers on tap? Yes please! Add that it\u2019s also known for it\u2019s burgers and fresh-cut fries and is located only blocks from work in downtown Sioux Falls, and I had really high hopes this would become one of my favorite places in town.<\/p>\nJL Beers Opens in Downtown Sioux Falls<\/h2>\n
