Restaurants near Ellsworth Air Force Base

“These gems are having a hard time because our serving women and men aren’t using them enough. Retired military too! Nonappropriated activities can’t make it unless we use them. Thanks decisions made long ago that choked MWR activities out. Let’s take care of our service members.

Nice atmosphere with a good selection of drinks. Maybe add some modern non-alcohol beer since that’s trending. Gladly come here again.

Great place.”

“Great place. Good food. Great service. Friendly staff. Killer cinnamon rolls!!”

“The flavor is so authentic. Most definitely one of my favorite curry restaurants”

“The food was wonderful and there were so many options! Buffett is currently closed due to pandemic but they have a very large menu of options - Indian to Central Asian with some Nepalese specialties - as well as mixed platters to make it possible to try a variety of things. The menu descriptions are fairly detailed and the spiciness level is a question asked for most items mild, medium, spicy). prices run from 8-12 for appetizers and 12-20 for meals and mixed platters which seems quite reasonable for the serving size and skill in preparation. It would be a wonderful place for families, romantic dinners out, or a good place to meet an old friend and talk over 2 or 3 courses. Inside was very comfortable, good spacing and light, not too loud, with many beautiful decorations and carved accents. The owners and staff were wonderful - friendly, accurate, quick to help and quite fast food preparation. I would absolutely come back!”

“The customer service was amazing! I emailed this location asking for a special touch to my order because I was having them delivered to my family with a surprise message. Abby emailed me back so quickly and was happy to help me! She wrote exactly what I wanted on the box and even emailed me a picture so I could see what it looked like before it got delivered. I bake a lot and am honestly not *that* impressed by Crumbl cookies usually, but the customer service at this location has made me a big fan :)”

They are ok with kids, although they didn't have any highchairs.
Food is served by the place besided them, its not too much of a hassel and everybody is very helpful and nice.

Vegetarian options: The place next door has some vegetarian options like cold sandwiches.
You can ask them to remove meat for you for other options.

Kid-friendliness: They are ok with kids, although they didn't have any highchairs.”

“In our opinion, this is the best steakhouse in the Northern Black Hills. Everything is consistently plated beautifully, delicious and executed well. Atmosphere is elevated but not unapproachable. Service is wonderful. The ONLY drawback is that the wine list leaves one wishing for better. Cocktail list is lovely though. Five stars ⭐️ from us.”

Vegetarian options: The Gourmet Vegetarian pizza is most excellent. We purchase it often…and we’re not even vegetarian!”
