🌟 Review: The Smoking Mule, Chamberlain SD 🍖 My partner and I stopped here while traveling through Chamberlain on a Friday night around 7:15 PM. Despite how very busy the restaurant was, the experience was excellent from start to finish. Service & Ambiance * The hostess was incredibly pleasant and managed to seat us within just 5 minutes, which was impressive given the crowd. * Our server, Hailey, was phenomenal! She was helpful, had a great attitude, lots of energy, and was very punctual throughout our entire meal. Excellent service is hard to find, and Hailey delivered! The Food We were thoroughly impressed with the menu. * Appetizer: Bayou Shrimp - Excellent! A great way to start the meal. * Main Course: Bourbon Ribs (Split) - These were absolutely, exceptionally good. The flavor was outstanding, and they were perfectly cooked. Overall Recommendation The Smoking Mule is a must-visit. From the genuinely pleasant service to the truly amazing food, they hit all the right notes even on a peak weekend night. I highly recommend this place! I would love to come back during the day to see the great Missouri River.

This is one of the best places to ever eat whenever you come to Chamberlain! It’s especially way better than the silver dollar 💯 especially the food ❤️

This was our second attempt at The Smoking Mule. They were closed the first time we went (my fault for not checking, but gave us a chance to visit Upper Crust Pizza). Good atmosphere in a cool location near the Missouri River. We sat at the bar which was empty when we arrived but steadily filled up while we were there. We are a fan of Palace City Brewing and enjoyed the opportunity to have the Braying Brown Brew (a Smoking Mule exclusive) along with a few other local beers. I had the brisket burger. The beef was a little dry but otherwise a good burger. My wife had the Lobster and Shrimp Po’ Boy which she enjoyed. The Kick Ass Loaded Beans were good as well. The restaurant had a cool gift shop and all of the staff were friendly. I would definitely visit again if we are in the area.

Meals can be hit or miss, lately really good. Drinks are on the light side. Pulled pork hamburger is always good

I had the Garlic Chicken Bacon pizza & it was delicious!!! Beautiful views from the restaurant.
Rude service. Unless you're a table of +8, they treat you very rudely and ignore you. They answer the phone and then hangup on you, and when they do talk to you they act as if you are the problem for calling because they are busy (how would anyone know that?) The last 4 times I have been here I have been treated the same way.

Chislic is a South Dakota classic. These were overdone therefore tough as leather. The river view is actually a small inlet. Server was attentive and pleasant.

This was an excellent choice for us. I had the smoked pulled pork BBQ sandwich with fries, not to mention the awesome brew. The pork perfectly prepared, the smoke was spot on, their homemade BBQ was spectacular, Smokey, with a slight spice, it was great If you are in the area, this is the place folks!
