“Amazing stay in #12, so peaceful. Everything was as described & near so many attractions yet set apart enough to enjoy the serenity of the Black Hills. Would highly recommend!”

“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!”
“We went ice skating this afternoon. We went back and forth for ice cream and there was one young lady working by herself. She was working her butt off and was very polite and stayed cool under pressure running between the front and the outside window. Oh and our ice cream was awesome! It was my first time trying afagato.”
“Never underestimate the power of human interaction...we frequent Dixon Coffee Company, not only for their delicious drinks, but for their charming baristas. We always drive away from their window with a smile on our face & a coffee made just the way we like it.”
“This is a great restaurant. My wife’s order was not up to her liking. She returned it bc she was not used to potato nachos. We did not expect a discount or comp. We were wrong! Amazing! Thanks! My appetizer was great. Drinks were great. Service at the bar was outstanding. Friendly! Responsive! Informative! Very reasonable pricing! This is the kind of restaurant travelers like us love to patron. Keep up the fantastic work! Thanks again’”
“Some of the best service and food in a very long time in Rapid! A++++”
“As promised Jared… the star chefs adorning the walls would be very proud of what was the best French toast I have ever eaten, and one of the top breakfasts ever!!! Foie gras!!!, macerated and fresh berries, toasted pecans, granola, and maple cream made for a beautifully presented and texturally diverse dish. We were travelers looking for unique eats in Rapid City, drawn in by your website’s description of the menu, and not disappointed. I believe the sign of a great meal is when you savor each bite, already from the start regretting the end of the meal will inevitably come. Look up the video of Julia Child tearing up after sampling a Nancy Silverton dessert and you’ll know what I mean. Thanks Jared for going the extra mile to get me that foie gras and for the excellent service!!! Hope to be back some day ;)”

“Would absolutely recommend Shipwrecks Bar & Grill! They have their own separate gluten free fryer. My 2 year old son with Celiac and other allergies was able to have walleye fingers with French fries and loved them! They even made it into a kids meal for him! The head chef was very knowledgeable about celiac and willing to talk with us! Wonderful experience all around!”
“We had a great experience at Mexico Tipico. The atmosphere of the restaurant is bright and happy. We were served lots of delicious chips and salsa. Our waitress was nice and friendly. The food was delicious and they had lots of choices. We had the steak dish, which was tender and delicious, and a huge burrito with flavorful chicken and veggies, with a great cheese sauce. We were very happy and full. We highly recommend Mexico Tipico!”

“I would recommend the Texas Roadhouse Salmon dinner with the choice of salad and their in house French dressing it's incredible as well as their green beans yum. The Rapid City , SD Wait staff are always amazing and helpful as well as all the staff from beginning to the end. The food is always cooked to perfection and delicious. Thank you to all the staff for your amazing hard work in keeping myself and my family wanting to come back for more.”
“Brent was an excellent, excellent server. He made helpful selections. Our food was over the top good. The cocktails were tasty with the right amount of alcohol. The Oktoberfest lunch menu was very German, The service was excellent. We are from Indiana and highly, highly recommend Minerva’s. Thanks for a 10 star lunch!”
“We recently enjoyed a lovely dinner at Golden Bison Grille. Our fine pre-dinner drinks at the bar were attended by the friendly Ms. Tina. The Golden Bison meal was beyond delicious with melt in your mouth pork doused in an outstanding bourbon glaze and oh-so-tender steak bites, grilled asparagus and sweet herbed potatoes. Our friendly and efficient server, Roland, provided the perfect amount of attention and completed our experience with the most delicious Crème Brûlée! Restaurant Manager Josh stopped by to visit during our meal and was assured this, our special evening out, was indeed a memorable one!”

“Service was great from the hostess to servers. The two others with me had steaks, good flavor but prefer a thicker cut instead of thin cut that looks bigger. Had the salmon and it was very good. One had the brussel sprouts that had maybe 3 slices and the rest was burnt, loose leaves. Manager blamed it on the supplier, if that is the issue then remove it from menu, there were at least two other items not available.”

“We really enjoyed this place. We had the fried pickle appetizer and I had the BBQ turkey burnt ends and sidewinders. I’m always hesitant to try barbecue on the road but this was delicious. My wife had the PB&J burger and she really enjoyed it as well. The Zymucracy Veterans IPA, Jeremiah Johnson Mountain Man Scotch Ale and White Elm Brewing Drift Melter Stout were all very good. The bartender provided great service as well!”

“The store is always clean, employees are nice and friendly. Every time we stop in to get the cookies the service is quick. Cookies are always tasty and available. I am glad they have the weekly cookies available to view in regular and mini size. So it gives a chance to preview before purchasing. I also can’t wait for future cookies to drop. I am so happy the app lets us see what’s coming soon.”
“This restaurant is a solid 5-star with Incredible food and attentive staff. It is a a local favorite but this traveler will return! Legit hand breaded chicken fried steak and real mashed potatoes were perfectly prepared. No prebreaded steak or boxed mix used in our meal. Complimentary bread before the meal from their in house bakery was tender and tasty as was their coconut cream pie with authentic flaky, home style crust with fresh whipped cream topping and rich filling. This will not disappoint!”
“We used to go to the southside location but recently started going to the north location. The overall vibe feels more laid back, the folks working seem more chill, and Stephanie (the “mean old lady” haha, her joking words) was super nice and I saw and heard her interacting with other guests, many of whom she seemed to recognize which is always a lovely thing to see when employees recognize customers and can build that relationship with them. While we’ve never had true complaints at the southside location, we do prefer the north side one and will absolutely be back!”
“Food was great. The owner is very helpful and receptive to feedback. He genuinely wants to make sure his customers are satisfied with his craft. Food is a little costly but the owners attention to flavor and his determination to make his customers happy is well worth it. I’d rather support a local owner that cares.”
“Super friendly staff...from owner to server and beyond. So freakin' nice. Amazing dishes...we couldn't try them all, but what we had was fresh, well prepared and super tasty. And I dont mean that the dishes were just good...they were GREAT!!! Romaine Wedge Salad...Brussel Sprouts...Bison Sliders...Crab Cakes. Ji5st delicious. And add to that how commited they are to local and sustainable ingredients. Got my business forever!”
“We've only just stopped in here twice but we'll keep coming back. Service is great. The patio is great. We always enjoy places with outside seating no matter what time of year. We've been looking for a spot outside of downtown and this is it. Oh, music is good too!”

“Such a cool bar and were visiting from Los Angeles; we love to try cool bars with unique drinks and this bar did not disappoint! The pizza drink was such a unique drink I'll never forget 😅
Coming from LA the prices is what shocked us the most and why we got 4 drinks total 🤣
Thank you for being so kind and explaining the drinks would come back if I come visit rapid city again!”
“Bought a few bags of this coffee when traveling to Badlands and Yellowstone and it was AMAZING! Couldn't live without it so I just ordered 5 lbs. to be shipped to me in North Carolina. Definitely the best coffee EVER! Highly recommend everyone trying it ! Thanks for making a great flavored coffee.”
“Our dining experience was excellent. Food, staff , ambience all top shelf.”

“This was a nice little brewery. We got a flight of beer. The Cowabunga Juice, Cliche Hazy and Pop Bumper were all good. I especially enjoyed the Centennial Trail IPA with centennial hops. The biggest disappointment was the Bbl Aged Transcendence. It was big and boozy but not a lot of flavor.”
“Thirsty’s Burgers & Beers was tonight’s choice for dinner. Not only was the food great but our server was AMAZING! He always had a smile on his face and we never had to look for him. He made sure we had everything we needed. Great experience. Will definitely return!”

“We were discussing lunch options today, when a lady nearby overheard us and recommended Paddy's. So we decided to try it out. Radwan was an excellent server for this lunch. The food was phenomenal. Gluten-free breading that didn't even taste unusual. The Boneless wings were tender with delectable sauce. You have to try the pretzel appetizer when you go. Even the fish and chips were perfect in every bite. Better than we ever expected and made our trip even better! Thank you for the. amazing food!!!”
“🤟😀Pat, Lilly and Victoria do a great job. Everyone here is so friendly and fun to be around!”
“Black Hills Party Pedaler is always tons of fun! Our guides - Glory (Gina?) and Anna were a blast. Thanks for a great time!”
“Food was delicious. The service was awesome. She was very attentive. I been to Red Lobster several times. I been satisfied time.”
“This pizza was super effective! The crust had the perfect crunch, the cheese was gooey enough to make a Snorlax smile, and the toppings were stacked like a Champion's winning team. Every bite felt like finding a holographic Charizard in your first booster pack. The staff was as friendly as Nurse Joy, the service was lightning fast, and the whole experience earned a Master Ball from me. I choose this pizza every time!”

“Annie was our server. She was very pleasant and helpful with the menu. A very nice person. She was fast and efficient. Will do good for your business.”
“We had their Prime Rib special for two with Mashed Potatoes and we also had their Brussel Sprouts Appetizer and Chocolate Mousse Cake. The atmosphere is calm and relaxing with a lovely lighting level. The plating of the food overall is exquisite. The Brussels Appetizer had bacon, candied pecans, and an apple cider glaze. The Brussels sprouts were cooked excellently and the other ingredients bring a nice saltiness with touch of sweet to balance it out. The Prime Rib was perfectly tender with a wonderful salt crust and delicious Au Jus. The Mashed Potatoes would wonderfully creamy and buttery. The Chocolate Mousse Cake came encased in chocolate with chocolate cake on the bottom and mousse on top. The smooth vanilla ice cream and the acidity of the berries accompanying the cake help cut the rich chocolate flavor for a delightful dessert. I do highly recommend for a lovely date night or a special occasion with family/friends.”
“Love the decor & vibe in there! The drink I got was so tiny though and I could barely taste the alcohol but it was good. The steak was the best I’ve ever had and the garlic fries, yum! Such a good meal! The dessert was so fricken good! The entire experience there was just awesome! Loved it!”

“Good little place recently built on the edge of town near new housing. It was clean inside and had a good vibe. Well thought out use of the outside patio with a nice view of the open field. Folks were nice to me. I got the tropical butterfly lemonade and a croissant for lunch cause I wanted some lemonade and it was too late in the day for coffee.
I was pleasantly surprised how good the drink was.
I’d stop by again”
“We loved the show. The food was good and music so much fun. I would highly recommend for all ages!”
