Pappy’s is bright, modern, and busy on a weekday. I showed up for lunch with a friend on a Friday afternoon, and although it took us a moment to find the correct door on the first level of downtown Sioux Falls’ DocuTap building, the lack of exterior signage was not a problem indoors. As we walked up to the counter to order, the eatery’s overall décor was striking, but not overdone. Jewel tone reds and purples were offset by splashes of citrusy yellow and orange. Neon block letters behind the counter tastefully reminded guests exactly where they were.

At the counter, drinks, salads and yogurts are laid out like well-organized treasures in a glass display case. Since it was our first time dining at Pappy’s it took us a few minutes to decide on a strategy. The culinary offerings included standard lunch fare like sandwiches and salads, in addition to breakfast sandwiches, yogurts with inventive toppings, and drink options that include bottled beverages, espresso bar classics, and a respectable beer and wine list.

We decided on the Benjamin Franklin and Ulysses S. Grant sandwiches, the Chicken Salad salad, and the Strawberry & Prosciutto yogurt. Our sodas, which were poured behind the counter, came in to-go glasses that could be described as “American small.” Altogether, our lunch cost right around $30.
