This is the kind of restaurant travelers like us love to patron. Keep up the fantastic work! Thanks again’”

“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.”
“Everytime I've came to this place I have a great experience. Today was my birthday and even though I did not ride the saddle. The waitress made it a great day with her bright service and the birthday ice cream. Food was cooked perfectly even I got to full to finish and not once felt judge for dinning by myself. Thank you!”
“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.”
“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!”

“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!”

“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 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!”

“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.”
“I absolutely love Tropical Smoothie Cafe! The atmosphere is bright and welcoming, and the staff is consistently fast, friendly, and efficient. Their menu is fantastic, going beyond just smoothies—their wraps and bowls are delicious, too. This is my favorite spot for a healthy, quick, and satisfying lunch. Highly recommend stopping by!”
“We were in town for an event and stopped here for supper. I’m gluten and dairy free and the staff was helpful and my burger on the gluten free bun with the baked sweet potato was the best meal I have had at a restaurant since my dietary restrictions! Wholeheartedly recommend.”
“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.”

“Went here with my SHY, CONSERVATIVE husband. He’s a typical cowboy and prefers regular black coffee. Says this coffee is great! Not the typical “burnt sludge” you get when asking for a regular coffee. I grabbed a chai and the gal was very pleasant and a “girl’s girl” type😊. Also, gave a decent military discount! Nothing at all to feel “uncomfortable” about, it’s just coffee folks, with some pretty ladies included. Thanks for the good wake up cup! Moving across the country over the next several months. Will DEFINITELY be using this as one of our coffee stops.♥️”
“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.”
“My boys and I came to rapid on vacation and decided we wanted bbq, so we tried holy sm(oaks), we decided it is worthy of a 10 star review. We had the family platter for 4, the 3 of us couldn't eat it all. It was all very good. Josh the waiter was very polite, didn't say much tho. Im sure he will become more comfortable as he gets older.
I would highly reccomend this bbq spot.”
“I really enjoy the environment of Harriet and Oak! It’s a great family friendly place that allows space for many people to do their work or catch up with a friend! I hope they keep improving on their first in first out method with coffee orders. I waited 25 minutes for my drink today which was a bummer.”
“1st time here and couldn't ask for more. Good food, great portions & excellent service. Shame we don't have this company in South West England.”
“Black Hills Party Pedaler is always tons of fun! Our guides - Glory (Gina?) and Anna were a blast. Thanks for a great time!”

“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!”
“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!”

“This is definitely one of my favorite places to eat in Rapid when we can afford it. I really like the fried rice during hibachi, so I always get double so I have extra to take home. I've brought my 1 year old a couple times and she loves the onion fire volcano trick. The food is delicious, and the show is fun too.”
“5 STARS! They have the best cheese sticks, and I love dipping them in the ranch they serve with the cheese sticks. Cheese pizza is amazing, and it has a very subtle basil and spicy taste. Love the pizza, and hopefully I can become hired. (love you mom and dad! btw im the owners daughter)”
“I have had the fried chicken and the famous baked beans. The chicken was very good and I will buy it again.The baked beans were the BEST baked beans I have ever tasted. Soooo good!! Writing about them is developing a craving and it's after hours so trust me these baked beans are worth trying.”
“Came to visit Rapid city, SD. Ordered it through door dash….& oh my gosh it was amazing! We will definitely be coming back to eat there again! We had the ribs, brisket, Mac & cheese, & the potato salad….mouth watering! If it was that good through delivery I can’t wait to taste what it’s like upfront! 10/10 we recommend! 🤍”
“Absolutely incredible! I cannot say enough good things about this restaurant. The service was wonderful! Some of the best food I’ve ever had! And nearly everything can be made gluten free!”
“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!”

“I had Fork Real cater our family reunion. Rhonda was easy to work with to plan the menu. She and Dave delivered the food right on time, along with the utensils we needed to serve it. The food was delicious, the portions were generous, the price was reasonable, and of course Rhonda's cheesecake bites were the perfect size dessert. I appreciate her mission to help the people in the community. Thanks, Rhonda! You do a great job! If I need catering again I will be sure to call you!”
“Brianna was amazing tonight!! Our flight was supposed to take off at 850 pm but got delayed due to weather. She was very accommodating and kept us entertained with her interaction with us and other customers. All airport bars need this type of customer service. Keep up the good work!!!!”

“If you know my husband and I , you know that sharing a great meal together is one of our favorite experiences. Over the years, we’ve dined everywhere from world-renowned restaurants to hidden gems tucked away in small corners—and often, those little spots are every bit as memorable. For a long time, Delmonico’s was one of our regular local go-to’s. But after a couple of disappointing visits years ago, we stopped going. Tonight, we decided to give it another chance—and I am so glad we did. We shared the lamb entrée, and it was flawless. The sear had a delicate, crisp crust that gave way to perfectly tender, flavorful meat. The couscous was balanced, light yet savory, and the pairing elevated the dish to something extraordinary. Honestly, I haven’t had lamb this good since living in the Middle East, where I once had it prepared fresh—literally from pasture to plate. Until tonight, nothing here had come close to that standard. Our waitress, Kiara ( spelling?) , delivered impeccable service—attentive, genuine, and engaging without being overbearing. The GM, Ashley, has clearly re-imagined the dining experience at Delmonico’s, and it shows.”

“Scirocco - sorry if I spelled that wrong after all this was autocorrect's version. Great kid! Great attitude greeted me with a smile and I actually felt welcomed. Even though they were clearly busy, he didn't look frazzled at all. Stayed in a good mood and greeted customers like you would expect to be greeted someplace that they actually want you to be.”
