“Recently celebrated a birthday at Jake’s with a party of 15. All 15 guests were impressed by the atmosphere and the food. My husband and I first heard of Jake’s fine dining during a bourbon tasting in deadwood and came across Jake’s old fashioned. We thought this was a perfect opportunity to check out the actual restaurant and of course enjoy another Jake’s old fashion. It definitely held up to our expectations. We look forward to visiting again.“

“My wife and I are from California, traveling across the country. It was our first time seeing and eating at this fast-food restaurant, and it was a hit! Everything we had that evening was great! However, I am afraid I cannot eat this more than once a month, or else we will have high cholesterol.“

“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!“

“We ate in the bar area where there are a bunch of TVs with many different sports games.
Unfortunately, I don’t have any pictures but my friend with me ate a Smashburger with fries. It looked really good. She said it was excellent. . I had the trashcan nachos. The concept is cute but when you dump out the trashcan, the cheese didn’t really get very well distributed nor did any of the ingredients for the on top of the chips. Also, It probably would’ve tasted better with real cheese. The chicken on it was really good and it was more than enough for a dinner, Even though it is an appetizer…. The next time we ate there, we both had the macaroni and cheese and the pork barbecue. Macaroni could’ve used much more cheese. The pork was good. The macaroni was cooked perfect.
Service at the bar was pretty good was kind of confusing because they had 3 or 4 bartenders. They kind of worked “over” each other, Meaning they didn’t really have an assigned section. They just kind of waited on people as they needed it. It seemed a little confusing to me.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Hosted a birthday party here and was impressed. Good food, great service and fun atmosphere! We will be back.“

“Lilly our server was an absolute gem, and the restaurant manager was also very accommodating. My husband replaced the shrimp dish and the manager came over to make sure everything was OK. Kudos to you all. I can see customer service is your first priority and you definitely delivered. Thank you for a good experience and please keep up the good work.“

“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.“

“😀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.“

“Wish I went there yesterday as well. Diverse and well-delivered menu (sweet Vidalia onions were a pleasant surprise). Friendly and super-competent service in a comfortable, not-too-loud sports bar setting. So much better than I would have expected!“

“As a part of my Sperm Donation World Tour of the USA I came by here for a drink and to mainly watch game 3 of the nba play off series Knicks vs Spurs with the latter coming up with the win to make the series 2 to 1. Good bar friendly staff and lots of TV's for sport.“

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

“Phenomenal food combined with service to match. Love this place!“

“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“

“Placed drink order, reviewed menu, placed order and drinks still hadn't arrived. The server came back to tell us they didn't have the ingredients for the drink that I ordered. Ordered the frickle burger, came out with jalapeños poppers and frickles, sent it back, and the replacement came back out within minutes. The frickles were removed, and the popper remained. Sever offered to have it made again, but by this point, the experience was already ruined. The server made sure to let us know she took that off the bill, like obviously I'm not paying for something I didn't even eat that yall keep messing up. but I was supposed to be appreciative of that big jester of customer service or lack of I should say. The other item ordered was a Philly cheesesteak that was so soggy that the bun just fell apart. The steak was still mooing, I took the meat home for my dog. We had also placed an order for bangin shrimp to go, which was the very first item to arrive to the table, when we got home there were only 6 shrimp and the menu clearly states the order has 8.“
