27 Best American Restaurants near Lead

“I had forgotten to make a review but thinking back I feel it was a noteworthy experience and I wanted to share. Presidents day had just passed, and my husband and I decided to stay at the lodge with our dogs for a few days during the week. we walked over for dinner, had small conversations with staff regarding lodging and our dogs staying with us. When we paid our ticket, they brought out a steak that had been cooked incorrectly in the kitchen and asked if we would like to give to our hounds instead of them discarding. Our dogs ate like king and queen that night! Thank you for the years of memories, can't wait for another season!“

“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!“

“Absolutely fantastic! We’ve eaten here a few times before and it’s always been good, but tonight was excellent. My wife and I shared a ribeye and macadamia crusted halibut. I’m picky on both of those entrees and they didn’t disappoint. The halibut was cooked absolutely perfect (not overcooked) and the sauce was one that I’m going to have to figure out at home for my walleye. Thanks for the awesome meal. We will be back!“

“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. 😊👍💝“

Glad I stopped by.“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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.“

“What a find in Deadwood. If you visit you must eat at snitches. Our waitress EllaMia made the experience one to remember. She was so knowledgeable about the menu and wine pairings and delivered the descriptions so eloquently. There was not one speck of food left on anyone’s plate. The appetizers were unique and delicious. The duck dish was one of a kind. The tomahawk steak shared by friends was to die for. Not one person had anything bad to say about their food. We were raving to the rest of our group that had dinner down the street. Thank you EllaMia again! We will miss you“

“Five stars just for employing stellar humans like Elizabeth!!!“

“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👍“

“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.“

“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 place, great food, good prices. we stop there everytime we r in town. however today I was so disappointed we walked out. we were a party of 8 adults 2 kids, the young server(not the normal lady) was very rude and unwelcoming from the start. we asked to pull two tables together, as we have in the past numerous times and she said "no you will be in the way." now mind you there were only two tables being used at the time. it wouldn't have bothered me so much, but her attitude from start sucked. im hoping she was just having a bad day. still will be our favorite place to eat, juat not this weekend..“

“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!“

“A lot bigger inside than it appears from the outside... I chose to eat inside to avoid the windy conditions which would have probably cooled off my burger and fries faster than I could eat them. Friendly staff... Casual environment... Easy option for food with touristy prices... but the whole town is touristy. If you're just a party of one or two... sit at the front window for people watching.“

“Prompt and professional service complete with old fashioned warmth via toothy 😃 my waitress Sierra was as reshreshing as a 😎 mountain breeze with a hint of 🌹. Ordered the 2 entree 1 appetizer for $25. The burgers were very nice 😋 👌 and was especially pleased with the onion rings. Would recommend this location based on my experience this fine day. ❤ 🫂 🤗 👐 ✝“

“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.“
