“Great location and good food! Hanna b. Is a great waitress and recommended the beef stew( which was so good) in the bread bowl- this was the best bread!“

“We ate at The Stampmill and were so impressed! We had a large group and the staff was so accommodating on getting us in and seated in a timely manner! Not to mention the waitress Becca! She was WONDERFUL! Highly recommended eating here. The food was delicious and the staff was wonderful.“

“We found this great coffee shop last year while vacationing in the area. Spent 2 nights in Deadwood this week, and got coffee here both mornings! Great seasonal flavors and the caramel roll was super yummy!!!“

“We had an above and beyond experience with the staff at Trailshead. We rented UTV’s and a storm came 2 hours earlier than forecasted which we got stuck in. When we arrived back at Trailshead, the staff ran out, grabbed my two kids and took them inside, got them all dried off and fed them hot chocolate (when they weren’t even open - it was supposed to be their day off). Can’t recommend Trailshead and the new management team enough. We’ll be back!“

“Cool little place with great food. I will say I was HIGHLY disappointed in the Indian Taco this year. I had one when we were there in 2022 and it was one of the best things I've ever eaten, I've been dreaming about another one since. We brought a big group this year with several Sturgis first timers and I TALKED IT UP. I was sadly disappointed when instead of taco meat it tasted like canned chili dog sauce on it and portion seemed smaller this time as well. The desserts were amazing though. All in all I'd probably go back, staff was extremely friendly and helpful even though we were there close to closing that day.....just restore the magical goodness to the Indian Taco PLEASE!!!“

“Really the only up scale menu and atmosphere in Deadwood. The food is excellent across the board. HUGE cuts of American Beef and large wine menu give plenty of pairing options. Sea Bass, Shrimp and crab cakes make for great seafood options too. Our server Peyton was amazing!! She knew the menu and specials down pat and did a wonderful job serving our meal. Expect to spend at least $100 per person between appetizers, drinks, main course and desserts.“

“For “fast food” this place is amazing! The food was fresh, quick and Sully (not sure if that’s how his name is spelled) but he was great at his job. Super helpful with menu questions and he was very friendly, genuine and inviting when we placed our order.“

“We enjoyed a great meal here on our trip to Spearfish. Our waitress Sherrie provided excellent service to our group, and was delightful and entertaining to chat to. Thanks for a memorable experience. 😊👍💝“

“One of the best near the Black Hills! The bread pudding was amazing.“

“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.“

“So many compliments on your ice cream from my daughter and new son’s pre-wedding ice cream social! The flavors were a hit, the creamy treats were just what kids and adults needed the night before the big day! Thank you for providing us with a great experience! I’m sure many will stop in Spearfish for an ice cream on their way home!“

“Just had the steak tips they were awesome !!! cooked perfect and could cut with a fork!!l“

“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!“

“Our young little waitress with glasses was so sweet and informative! I come to Perkins every time I come back to South Dakota and I love it every time♥️ Build one in Texas please!!“

“Such a great place!!! The views are amazing. The restaurant had very good food and great service. I feel like I am at a resort.“

“Cod was Good, Pulled pork excellent“

“Great Friday night and awesome wait staff“

“The waitress was great, so accommodating and patient as I had many dietary restrictions. But I’m confused as to why the cook/chef/person in the kitchen wouldn’t allow her to take a picture of the ingredients on a box of their food?? It took multiple attempts for our waitress to go in back and check for certain ingredients because they wouldn’t let her just take a pic and show me. Very disturbing. Your customers should have access to read the ingredients in all of the food you offer. Fortunately your server is the one giving you 4 stars, otherwise scenarios like this will usually get you 1 star from me.“

“Spearfish Applebee's was spot on tonight! We were a party of 7 at 630pm (Thursday) and a bit worried when we walked in and it looked busy! Instantly greeted by the hostess who said she'd put some tables together. Seated within 2 minutes. Our server was THE BEST! Big guy, long, curly hair, VERY personable. Various wait staff brought our drinks, appetizers, and food. They had such great teamwork. Food was good, service excellent. Very pleased with the above and beyond experience we had tonight!“

“The food quality and obvious top notch attention to detail and care that the staff take make this my go to spot in Deadwood. You have to give this place a try if you stop through town!“

“WOW! The food was incredible!! Prices were very very good and Pam our waitress was INCREDIBLE! A valuable part of a great team of people working there. Thanks to all of you! well done again Pam👍“

“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.“

“Food was absolutely delicious! Our waitress Mailene was scattered and kept forgetting things, but luckily it was early in the morning and we were in slow motion so we were in no hurry. Would visit again just because the food was so good, the restaurant was incredibly convenient, and we enjoyed our stay overall at the Lodge at Deadwood!“

“The food has made this a stop for lunch or dinner, not just golf. The staff is always friendly. The owners are always reinvesting in the technology of the sims. I’m glad this is my local town. Also, the golf league formats are a blast and a very exciting format.“

“😀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.“

“We went for a very late lunch (after the 1st shootout) so maybe that's why we had better food than others reviewed? My parents enjoyed their burgers and chicken strips, which is a good review! My daughters and I also enjoyed our burgers. Fast service, hot food.

Some mention the high prices but it was on par with every place we had eaten in the badlands/black hills area, and some of the better food we had at the same price point. (Some of the other places we went had higher reviews and we thought they weren't good, just to give perspective on this review).“

“Went for breakfast. I was pleasantly surprised that the restaurant was on a separate floor from the casino. Had the ham steak which was griddled to a nice caramelized crust and the hash browns were crispy and buttery, just the way I like them.“

“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“

“Loved our experience and the delicious food. we had pizza and salad, it was amazing! our waitress, Olivia, was so attentive, informative. and just so sweet. All in all a great dinner experience!“
