Turning Into Tuffy's | Dakota Life

A restaurant is more than just a place to eat; it’s a hub for community and a learning opportunity for young adults. That’s the legacy of Tuffy’s Bar and Grille (formerly The Centerville Steakhouse / Jodean’s / Maxies). This new restaurant is a family business that supports all things high school sports, and is named after the Tornadoes mascot, “Tuffy the Tornado.”
