Restaurants in Rapid City

“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!”

“Biscuits and gravy are a delight. We will definitely visit again. Rate 5”

“It’s the best of the best!”

“Absolutely the best! Great food, great service. Reminded me of a cafe I ate in growing up in the 50s. Omelet made 😍with corned beef hash and cheese! To die for!!!!”

“What a surprise this place was. My expectations were far exceeded. Delicious.”

“Our server, Halie, was an absolute gem! Her service was exceptional, and she made the dining experience amazing!

The food was wonderful as always! We will definitely be visiting again.”

“The flavor is so authentic. Most definitely one of my favorite curry restaurants”

“Everyone in our group loved the food! All the food was delicious. Chicken Momo Veg Momo Lamb Biriyani Paner Masala Butter Naan Mango Lassi Mango Kulfi”

“I love the pulled bacon burritos. You can tell they are hand made fresh and not mass produced.”

“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.”

“The sandwich’s are so good! My favorite is the Cherrywood Bandit!”

“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 ;)”

“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.”

“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’”

“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!”

“Our dining experience was excellent. Food, staff , ambience all top shelf.”

“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.”

“Food was delicious. The service was awesome. She was very attentive. I been to Red Lobster several times. I been satisfied time.”

“This was a great spot for my first-ever wine tasting! The bartender was super friendly and knowledgeable. I highly recommend this local joint to anyone who enjoys a glass of wine!”

“Excellent service! Beer and food was delicious. We had the best Rueben ever!”

“The fish & chips are perfectly battered and a beautiful, golden color, the homemade tartar is really good!!! Very impressed with having malt vinegar available. Highly recommend the margaritas too.”

“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!”

“I like the e.north store good food and nice atmosphere Jenna is a very attentive manager”

“Holy heck! It is soooo hard to find good service in fast food. Bev and Teffely had amazing smiles! Made us smile even when slammed at lunch. This is the kinda people all fast food needs to employ. Funny, happy, just made me want to sit and talk with them but I couldnt obviously .....just stellar work and seemed to even love their co workers and knew other people in like by name”

“We had the Hasselhoff and the Pickle Pizza and they were SO delicious. Gluten free crust was amazing. No photos cuz we at both pizzas in 5 mins flat. Our server, Sara, was so friendly and had great suggestions! Will definitely be coming 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.”

“The staff was great. Had the mushroom foil - sublime. Also bison bun, bison bone ramen, beef bone ramen, all 10/10. Justin came out to the dining room and enjoyed a brief chat, such a pleasant dude.”

“Love it! I really enjoy their flavors and that you can look forward to something new every week. So fun! I also love pink so pics of my crumble orders are always so good ✨🩷”

“It was our first time there today. The Green Curry and Fried Rice was amazing!”

“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!”

“great coffee, service, and veiw”

“We have a regularly scheduled date for a chicken, bacon, artichoke pizza, thin crust. We’re watching calories and this is pretty reasonable. I haven’t quite gotten the hang of getting the center bottom crust done but the flavor is so good I don’t care.”

“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!”

“Relaxing bartender Wes, super cute and friendly, gave a private tour of the bar. He wasn't planning on being open but opened for a few hours.”

“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!”

“Great coffee. Very friendly staff! Nice quiet atmosphere .”

“The service was fantastic. Janice catered to everything we needed. We ordered items to go plus had to bring some entrees home because portions were huge. The price was right where we needed it to be and we will more than likely be back before the end of the week.”

“One of the best vanilla lattes I’ve ever had! Wish they had an indoor seating area so I could do work while enjoying their coffee. Visiting from out of town and walked over from a hotel. Definitely worth coming here!”

“Great cigar lounge. Five stars”

“People are nice, great location, plenty of room. Didn't care for ANY of the beers, but be sure to ask because they also have ciders that are great and sodas that are great but they aren't on the board so we didn't know about them until we were getting ready to leave. If we didn't see someone else with one and ask what they were drinking, we would have left and not come back. They actually have a large selection of both.”

“One of the best vanilla lattes I’ve ever had! Wish they had an indoor seating area so I could do work while enjoying their coffee. Visiting from out of town and walked over from a hotel. Definitely worth coming here!”

“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.”

“I'm a daily visitor at Scooters on 5th St and I absolutely love the coffee. I order The flavor of the day and so every day I get something different when I order the same thing and its always delicious. The staff are amazing! they are always very welcoming and never hesitate to provide quality customer service. Especially the Manager she never fails to make you smile. As for the Eglin St Location I work for a Non Profit organization nearby called The Adult Day Center of the BH, We took our guests out for coffee and they were very welcoming as well. It was a big order but they were so kind and really made us all feel welcomed and we enjoyed a warm cup of Coffee or Hot Chocolate at reasonable prices. I would definitely recommend Scooters Coffee!!”

“We went in kind of late. I hate doing that to restaurant workers but I was exhausted from work and my kid and I really just needed a quick dinner. The guys there were great! I never heard one word about having to make food when they were trying to close. (I’ve heard this a lot from different places). They were nice and very much on top of things.”

“Great selection at the bar and I appreciate that they offer different bowl sizes. Just keep in mind that sides are ordered separately and they only offer white rice. Service at the grill was really fast!”

“Very delicious food, fast service. I would recommend this place 💯😎👍”

“I highly recommend BBs! The wine is top-notch and so are the staff! If you’re looking to hang out with your friends, it’s a fun place or it would be a perfect spot for a date night!”

I was pleasantly surprised how good the drink was.
