🥪 LET'S GET SLOPPY, SIOUX FALLS! 😋

Some sandwiches are meant to be neat and tidy.

This is NOT one of them.

We're talking about a good old-fashioned SLOPPY JOE, made the Cookie Jar way!

🔥 Seasoned ground beef
🍅 Our special house Joe sauce
🍞 A warm, made-from-scratch bun

And because we believe a great lunch should come with a little something extra...

SLOPPY JOE + CHIPS + COOKIE = $10 + TAX! 🍪

That's right. A hot, homemade lunch with dessert for TEN BUCKS.

No fancy tricks. No complicated ingredients. Just the kind of comfort food that makes you happy you decided to go out for lunch.

And if you're craving soup, we've got Broccoli Cheese as our weekly special, plus Glen's award-winning Chili and Chicken Tortilla!

🥣 SOUP SEASON IS HERE, SIOUX FALLS! 🍂

October lunch just hits a little differently when there's a warm bowl of soup involved.

And at The Cookie Jar, you've got choices:

🌶️ Glen's Chili — fresh off its First Runner-Up finish at ChiliFest!
🥣 Chicken Tortilla — a longtime Cookie Jar favorite.
🧀 Broccoli Cheese — this week's special and exactly the kind of warm, creamy goodness October calls for.

Make it an Original Cookie Jar Lunch with fresh bread and a cookie, pair a bowl with your favorite sandwich, or simply stop in and warm up for a bit.

And yes, Elaine's bakery case will be waiting when you're ready for dessert. 🍪

Three soups. Fresh bread. Homemade sweets. One warm little bakery.

Sounds like lunch to us. 🥣🍞🍪

10/06/2026

Homemade comfort food + Broccoli Cheese Soup. Fall lunch is covered.

Comfort food season is officially here. 🍂

And this week's special at The Cookie Jar feels just about perfect for an October lunch.

🥪 This Week: The Sloppy Joe

We're starting with seasoned ground beef, mixing it with our special Joe sauce, and piling it onto a warm made-from-scratch bun.

Yep—the bun is made right here at The Cookie Jar, too.

Then we're keeping our $10 lunch deal rolling:

Sloppy Joe + Chips + Cookie = $10 + tax

A hot, homemade sandwich. Chips. And a fresh-baked Cookie Jar cookie for dessert.

Ten bucks.

Simple? Absolutely.

But when the sauce is ours, the bun is made from scratch and Elaine has the cookies covered, simple tastes pretty darn good.

🥣 Soup of the Week: Broccoli Cheese

If there was ever a soup made for an October lunch, Broccoli Cheese has to be in the conversation.

Warm, creamy and ready to pair with your Sloppy Joe—or enjoy it as part of our Original Cookie Jar Lunch with fresh bread and a cookie.

And don't forget, Glen's award-winning Chili and Chicken Tortilla Soup are on the menu, too!

🌶️ FIRST RUNNER-UP AT CHILIFEST! 🏆

What a night!

Glen and Elaine had a wonderful time representing The Cookie Jar at ChiliFest for The Banquet last night—and we're pretty proud to share that Glen's Chili earned

First Runner-Up! 🌶️

Even better was seeing so many people come out, fill the room and support the incredible work of The Banquet.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by our table, tried Glen's Chili, shared a kind word and supported such an important organization. Nights like this are a pretty great reminder of why we've loved being part of the Sioux Falls community for all these years. ❤️

Now here's the good news...

You don't have to wait until next year's ChiliFest to taste some award-winning Cookie Jar food. 😉

We're back at it this morning and OPEN today from 7:30am–2pm!
🌶️ Glen's award-winning Chili
🥪 Beef & Cheddar — last day!
🥣 Chicken with Wild Rice — last day!

🌶️ ChiliFest 2026
📅 TONIGHT — Thursday, October 1
⏰ 5:00–8:00pm

🌶️ GLEN'S CHILI IS HEADED TO CHILIFEST!

Tomorrow night, Glen and Elaine are excited to once again represent The Cookie Jar at ChiliFest for The Banquet—an event they have loved being part of over the years.

But this one is about much more than a good bowl of chili.

The Banquet has been serving our Sioux Falls community since 1985, bringing people together around food, fellowship and the simple belief that our neighbors should be cared for. Today, volunteers help make 16 meals every week across two Sioux Falls locations possible.

That's a mission Glen and Elaine have been proud to support for many years.
So tomorrow night, we'd love to see some familiar Cookie Jar faces come out and support them.

🌶️ ChiliFest 2026
📅 Thursday, October 1
⏰ 5:00–8:00pm
📍 Icon Events Hall, Downtown Sioux Falls
🎟️ $20 advance tickets / $25 at the door
🥣 10 local chefs bringing their best chili

Come hungry. Try some chili. Have some fun. Most importantly, come support an organization doing important work for our neighbors every single day.
And, sure...if you happen to think Glen's Chili is the best bowl in the room, we probably won't argue with you. 😉🌶️🍪

09/28/2026

Smoked beef brisket, house BBQ, cheddar + Chicken Wild Rice Soup.

A new week calls for a seriously good lunch.

If you're trying to decide what's for lunch in Downtown Sioux Falls this week, Glen has made the decision pretty easy.

🥪 This Week: Beef & Cheddar
We're piling smoked beef brisket onto a warm bun, topping it with our house BBQ sauce and cheddar cheese, and serving it up hot.

And the deal we've been talking about all month continues:

Beef & Cheddar + Chips + Cookie = $10 + tax

Yes. Ten bucks.

A hot brisket sandwich, chips and a fresh-baked Cookie Jar cookie for dessert.

That's a pretty tough lunch deal to beat.

🥣 Soup of the Week: Chicken with Wild Rice

Fall has officially arrived, and so has one of those soups that just feels right this time of year.

Our Chicken with Wild Rice Soup is warm, hearty and ready to pair with your sandwich—or make it the centerpiece of an Original Cookie Jar Lunch with fresh bread and a cookie.

🍪 Don't Forget the Bakery

Lunch might get you through the door, but there's always something being baked at The Cookie Jar.

Grab a cookie for later, surprise the office with a box of treats, or talk with Elaine about something special you're planning. There's always a good excuse for a little something from the bakery.

Monday: 9:00am–2:00pm
Tuesday–Friday: 7:30am–2:00pm

📲 Order ahead for pickup or delivery:

Come hungry. We've got lunch covered.
