I agree, and it is so sad to see another Sioux Falls landmark sliding closer to extinction. I worked at Rickys Drive In with Sidney Barnes while in High School and I would have to say that I have yet to find any fried chicken anywhere that compares to the original delicious tasting “Rickys Quickie Chickie”! I wonder if Ricky, Sid or any of the old 60′s crew are still around. Maybe we could start up a new place that specializes in Chislic.

Say it ain’t so Doug… There isn’t anything better when coming back home to visit the family than to take a ride into SF to the Keg and eat more chicken in one sitting that a man is suppose to. Well… I guess we can venture to the West side!

Wow, hard to believe the economy is even hitting Sioux Falls. I am from Aberdeen and remember the old Keg on 10th street that place was an old fun place, they don’t make em like that anymore. I will have to say I like the the 26th street Keg as is was closer to downtown where I go when I have to travel for buisness. I have had their delicious chicken at their location on 57th and find as good and the service as well. I will really miss the 26th street one and won’t have time to get to the 57th st. Darn

Sorry to pee in the pool, but I always thought the Keg’s chicken was a little on the dry side. Sure didn’t taste like grandma’s chicken.

Wally..I yield to your memory on this one.. My faulty research (a quick google search) had the Larsens buying from Rick Bell. I’m sure Ricky Hagar is correct. Bottom line is that its the best chicken I’ve ever had.

Oh fer dumb Doug! It’s only a couple miles farther west via the interstate. How lazy can one human being be that it’s too much effort to crawl into his nice comfortable Lincoln Town Car and have to make a sacrificial pilgrimage over that small amount of hill and dale to savor some of the world’s best chicken. With one location they’ll be able to better concentrate on each and every piece. Also, if you decide to eat in on the west side, they serve some might cold, frosty, palate cleansing beer. Why not make phone order right now…jump in that luxury car and treat your taste buds to the best chicken in the world.

Some of us are decrepit enough to remember the Barrel, actually.

Sure going to miss the east side location. We will get to the west side, just not as often.
