“This was quite literally the best meal of my life. We had the wild game Trio and it was spectacular. I have eaten at Michelin restaurants around the world and this chef NAILED. Absolutely exquisite and exceptional cooking. The chef is an incredible asset to Deadwood, SD. Love this place!!!“

“We stayed at Mystic Hills Hideaway for 2 1/2 weeks (before Sturgis Rally). We enjoyed our stay. We had a great site. Shawn the owner was awesome… so friendly. We rented UTV & Shawn gave us great advice on where to go…Moonshine Gulch Saloon! Kristie in the Lodge restaurant was awesome and gave us advice on how to use backroads to visit places. Food was delicious… Shawn knows how smoke the meat for ‘ pulled pork and prime rib’!Campground is close to all the great places to visit. And we got to watch the cows roaming. We will definitely go back.“

“We were in Saturday for a late birthday lunch and it was absolutely perfect! The food was phenomenal, everyone in our group loved what they ordered, but beyond that our server Austin was amazing. We were a little rowdy and he was great at putting up with our nonsense and was so much fun but also very knowledgeable and made great food recommendations. I had a burger that Austin recommended and it was delicious! We also really enjoyed the bar tender too but unfortunately I didn’t get her name. Overall it was a great experience and we will definitely be back!“

“Food was fine. I had the smash burger and the wife had the smoked Mac & cheese. Atmosphere was excellent, my burger was excellent, everything we wanted to try had jalapeños to it. We don’t do hot lol. All was fine the Mac was spicy also, but good.“

“I travel alot, and coming to Deadwood, I Highly recommend the Gulch. Rooms are VERY Clean, I think the Bed is better than my own at home, and they have FREE BREAKFAST! The Bonus is , I won 2000$ last time, and won 500 just walking to my room. It's not on the Strip, but WOW, Impressed.“

“The food, service and atmosphere were absolutely amazing! What a cute place with a great menu that is reasonably priced. Our server did a great job and was really sweet and out take a picture of all of us. The entire building is really cute and the location is great. So glad that they are there!“

“😀Great food, quick service and awesome servers. I thought it was comical that they serve your food on paper plates. But, honestly, one of the best chicken fried steaks I have ever had. Our waitress was friendly and funny. She made our experience even more enjoyable. Cute little cafe that was once a service station.“

“Great place on the Deadwood strip. Lovely sports bar with typical but serviceable food. Service was fantastic. They have huge draft beers.
We highly recommend the huckleberry mule, kurvball bbq Bloody Mary, and the pumpkin pie pudding shots.“

“Our server. Kayleigh (?) was top notch. She was professional, attentive, great with suggestions on steak choice, checked with us often enough to meet our needs, but didn't hover. She shows pride in her work and the establishment she works for. It was fairly slow, so when we engaged her in conversation, she spent a few minutes chatting.
I had the New York strip, my wife had the sirloin. Both were cooked to our request. Both had great flavor. My steak had a bit more grisle than I hoped for, but that's pretty minor. Our baked potatoes were cooked properly & the steamed vegetables were cooked as they should be. We chose to share a slice of the lemon cake for desert. It was delightful!
The atmosphere is beautiful and our table was intimate.
We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner & our server couldn't have been better!
Thank you!“

“Terrible hostess. We're told there was only high-top seating left as we were seated walked by numerous booths that were open. No one came to serve us. we left after 10 minutes of silence, while the hostess was on her phone outside of the kitchen. Boy, was she shocked when we picked up our things and left. Motto "Everyone's welcome" was by the far the biggest lie that was told yesterday. extremely disappointed. -5/10“
