Hello Love

Hello, My friend and I ate at Pioneer Lake Muray. We ordered the good for 2 plates. Everything on the plate was delicious, especially the pulled pork. We ended up paying $58 for the bill, including the 2 percent supplementary fee and tax. We left a $6 tip. I don't know if the waitress was offended by us because the waitress gave us the tip back and said she didn't need it. We took it and said, "Okay." We played their arcade game before leaving. When we were in the car, the waitress came over to give us the receipt. She said maybe we needed it and circled the suggested tip percentage. Is tip mandatory? Or is it just traditional? We're not from here. We just want to try the food in SD. If you're disappointed with our tip, tell us straight forward.

Yes it's good. But $40 for lunch is a bit steep for everyday eating. They add a 5% "supplemental fee" so I figured the tip way down. You gonna automatically add, I'm gonna subtract. I didn't get any alcohol but they do have a full bar. I just imagine those prices. It might be a long time before I return here.

HORRIBLE service!!!! When we walked in no one greeted us and we waited 7 mins before anyone asked if we've been helped. The young Hispanic guy busting tables continued to walk pass us several times saying nothing and the heavy-set guy walking with a bucket of ice passed by us, then decided to asked have we been helped after the second time passing us. They weren't busy and it was obvious we were the only ones standing by the door waiting. I wanted to walk out but my husband wanted to stay and that's the only reason we ate there. Not to mention the very small parking lot. I will not be eating here again although the food was surprisingly good.

The service here is exceptional. The waitress was very polite and attentive. The restaurant give me cool renovated warehouse vibes. There plenty of TVs around to catch some games playing. The parking lot is sort of small, so if it was a busy day it may be an issue with parking. Lastly, the bbq, the pulled park was okay. The mac and cheese was runny, everything else had no flavor. I would say this place is good for a drink with friends or solo, but the BBQ definitely is not anything to look forward too.

Went here to celebrate family members' bdays. When I was told this was the chosen place, I was secretly disappointed as I'm not a bbq fan. However, man, was I wrong! The food was phenomenal (even for a non bbq fan). The brisket was so tender, mac and cheese and coleslaw were delicious and the texas toast was amazing! I also thoroughly enjoyed that there is a spot for our kids to play when waiting for food! The customer service was excellent too! I'm already texting friends to go with our kids so we can actually talk while our kids play, all while eating yummy food!

First time eating here and the food was AWESOME! Had the brisket sandwich, the Q burger, Mac and cheese. The whole family left full and wanting to come back. Our server Bree so super nice and helpful. She definitely helped make our outing nice. She recommended the brisket and banana pudding and they did not disappoint. We’ll be coming back soon!

Came in recently with a friend. Always good food at a reasonable food (for BBQ anyways). A little noisy but to be expected for this kind of venue.
