Restaurants by Cuisine
“We almost didn't come tonight because we are visiting from out of town and were super tired from sight seeing all day. But we are celebrating my daughters birthday and wanted to come so she could have a special dinner and we are so glad we came! The food and service were excellent. My daughter thought sitting in the saddle while everyone wished her a happy Birthday was great. She also enjoyed Andy walking around giving high fives. It really made her night special.”
“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!”
“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.”
Restaurants with Delivery
“First time diner...the food was delicious! Started with a Mango Lassi....then on to cheese stuffed Naan bread, came with 2 dips...one had a BBQ taste to it...grew up in the south, so that was my favorite! Also enjoyed the steamed chicken dumplings....If I could give it 10 stars, I would...will definitely be back!”
“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!”

“In our opinion, this is the best steakhouse in the Northern Black Hills. Everything is consistently plated beautifully, delicious and executed well. Atmosphere is elevated but not unapproachable. Service is wonderful. The ONLY drawback is that the wine list leaves one wishing for better. Cocktail list is lovely though. Five stars ⭐️ from us.”
“We had an amazing experience with dining at this Olive Garden. I honestly haven't had this excellent of service in a long long time.
Our server, ✨?Jessamy S?✨, was exceptionally on top of everything. We waited for NOTHING, because she had drinks refilled before we needed them, she was helpful, attentive, quick to remove plates that were empty. She was excellent and I am not kidding when I say, servers of this caliber are so hard to find these days! ??
The manager checked on us mid meal, which is also a rarity for these days. Very kind and personable as well.
Food was hot, fresh and delicious!
Absolutely more than a 5 star ? rating is deserved.
Parking: More than 50 spots available, about 25 were open
Kid-friendliness: Coloring sheet with crayons, kids menu is great choices with good sized portions
Wheelchair accessibility: Parking & accessibility for those requiring it”

“The food is the best! The place is cute, quaint, and friendly. I highly recommend Hana Korean Grill & Sushi Bar.”

“Excelkent food and service. We hadthe deckeroni pizza and chicken macaroni, which were very tasty. And the cookie as dessert was fabulous. We were serve by Kaya in a friendly way. All in all a fine experience.”

Takeout Restaurants
“Absolutely a must stop in Rapid for craft beer. Different options for almost any taste or style of beer, including some awesome unique mead options as well! Fun place to spend the night drinking with friends.”
“Superb service and great atmosphere. The beer menu is huge and fun-great concoctions that actually work well. We started with the Buffalo chicken cheese with chips, nice and spicy. My husband had the carnivore pizza and loved it. I ordered the mash potato pizza...off the wall, but great. Would definitely recommend.”
“We really enjoyed the food. We had the bbq chicken and my 5yrs old said “it’s so good, the only way I can stop eating is when it’s all gone”. We also had the Muddy one with fresh berries, bananas, Nutella, cream and Ice cream yum! ?”
“Great food, great service. Been eating here for a few years now and will continue to eat here for years to come. The corned beef hash is 10/10. Chili smothered breakfast burrito 10/10. If you are looking for a breakfast/lunch diner that remains consistent over time this is the place for you.”
“I love how easy the self ordering kiosk is. I'm always greeted when I come in and the service is quick. I do wish that sometimes I could have the cookies cut without having to purchase the cutter itself. In the meantime though the minis are fantastic!”
“great atmosphere and large selection of beers. would definitely go back.”
“I had hazelnight and pistachio ice creams. it was the creaminess ice cream I have ever had. the service was great and the servers were very friendly.”
“Always friendly faces, give great suggestions on what to order, quick, and I’ve never had a drink there I didn’t like no matter what I order! The roast here is top tier.”
“Although I do recommend their coffee, I feel they are not business savvy. I came in with my tea cup puppy in my arms and was rudely told to leave. It was not rude to be told to leave because I had a dog. It was rude how she told me. Seriously, you can get your point across without embarrassing the customer. There was nothing stated anywhere that dogs were not allowed. Had they had it posted on the door, I wouldn't have brought the puppy in. Since it wasn't posted anywhere, this posses questions in my mind if they pick and chose if dogs can be brought in or not depending on who is working. Come on, if your business chooses not to be "dog friendly" post it on your door. Many places are dog friendly and if it is not posted then it is easy to assume that the business is OK with dogs.”

“We love this place. The ice cream specialities are super.”
“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!”

“Amazing homemade Carmel Rolls! Who'da thought?? In a Pizza Place?? This is a MUST STOP. Homemade awesome food, from Prime Rib sandwiches to salads to pizza to lasagna to --- everything! Highly recommend this spot. Super service and always a friendly staff. It's a 10!”
“Well brewed beer. Not your father’s Dakota Point any longer”
“Disconnect, decompress, reconnect, relax are all words I use when I arrive at Bearded Buffalo. Cabins are clean and comfy. Staff mindful and accommodating. They hear who you are, they learn your story. The little mercantile sweet with goods and a great gathering place. You will be glad to call this base camp and book it again.”
“Great place and great staff! Really good selection of beer our new favorite place!”
“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)”

“Food always tastes good. It's just not as consistent as one of the other locations in town who seem to have portion control better sorted out. Sometimes the toppings don't even go to the edge of the crust.”
“You definitely get more than what you pay for on Tuesday when kids eat free for each paid adult. When we’re back in the area, we will eat there again.
Dietary restrictions: All allergens are listed on the website. As with all buffets, cross contamination may happen, but the kitchen will create items on request and you can get them first.
Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly. Lots of options for a variety of preferences.”
“Great experience...but absolutely sick of people asking for tips. I'm in the freaking drive through! Don't ask me if I want to add a tip to the order. Fed up with this question everywhere....not just here. But this was literally the first drive through that the register girl had the nerve to make a point of asking. Seriously? Business owners...pay your employees and instruct them to stop asking. Take it off the terminal! It's not even a walk in or sit down restaurant ?”
“I love the employees here they are always super nice and smile. I like that I can go in and sit have a drink with my daughter and eat if we need a quick snack. Will continue to come to this location over the 5th street location.
Dietary restrictions: They have options for people that are allergic to dairy or can't tolerate it.”
“I ordered online. Called an hour later to check the order status, it was getting ready to leave the store. However I was uncomfortable when I opened the door to the first thing the drive says to me is did I leave him a tip? I said yes. He continued by saying well he didn't have the slip for proof. I became threatened and gave him 5 more dollars as it felt uncomfortable. I will not be ordering there 😒 anymore.”
“The food is always good and sometimes the service is great also. I enjoy the variety of food to choose from. Need cocktail sauce when the sign says you have it but actually don’t. The shrimp is good with it just not tonight though. Need chicken strips on the line.”
“I really appreciate how fresh the food is and how polite the staff is and how they make sure you are always satisfied and taken care of.
Parking: Parking for the disabled also.
Kid-friendliness: There is a Kid Zone.”
“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 had the best time with our group and the Pedaler guides that we had the privilege of joining us, were absolutely amazing.”
“The pumpkin tortellini, goat cheese cigar and crème brûlée were absolutely delicious!!!!”
“I had carry out. They didn't have exactly what I was looking for(spicy scallops wrapped in tuna), but I chose 2 other rolls, and it was good. We do not have many sushi options in South Dakota. I'm glad they are here ...I will definitely go again”

“Simply the best – the best craft cocktails, the best whiskey selection, the best bottle display (just breathtaking, sincerely). To Justin, Jeane, and Heidi – thank you so much for making our visit so enjoyable and oh so memorable. I left with a bunch of memories but one stands out from the rest, whiskey is meant to be drank and is best enjoyed with friends. Appreciate the hospitality and hope to see you all again.
Awesome drinks. Amazing atmosphere. Great people. Highly recommended.”
“The absolute best Hefeweizen you will find in Rapid City. Great atmosphere, helpful and knowledgeable staff, and the best selection of beers. No bells and whistles, just great beer and great people.”
“I ordered a party order of brisket, turkey, pulled pork, sausage, Mac n cheese, and potato salad. We came in from out of town and it was for a surprise birthday party. The food was amazing and exceeded my expectations. Huge hit!!”
“Excellent food, cozy and homely place. Had the yellow curry- loved it. The server also asked our dietary preferences when we ordered.
Vegetarian options: Most items could be made vegetarian. The server also reminded me about the red curry that had shrimp paste to make sure I didn’t order that and suggested the yellow curry instead.”
“So you order the sandwiches from the connected Deli next door (and they're awesome) but the beer at Hay Camp is worth the trip on its own. Great spot and plan on going back next time I'm in RC!!”
“The food and service are excellent! This is one of my favorite local places to eat at for a home-cooked meal. I especially love their @Home meals, pies, and the caramel rolls of course!”

“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.”
“The food was great. The service was good. Prices were reasonable. The thing that will keep me from going back is the table next to us that was loud and using the f word every other word. when we said something to the waitress she replied that it was a dive bar and they were regulars.”
“It is a wonderful place to eat! Excellent food, and great staff. I have never had a less than excellent meal. I look forward to coming every time I come to Rapid City”
“I don’t know what they sprinkle on the highlander grogg, but it’s amazing!”
“Thursday nights karaoke and open jam at the 445 is legit!”
“We ordered the brisket, jalapeño mac & cheese, coleslaw, and baked beans. The brisket had a great smoke flavor and was generously portioned. We particularly enjoyed the coleslaw-great flavor and consistency wad spot on. Our favorite sauce was the mustard-y type barbecue sauce. They were fast and efficient and would definitely recommend this to others! :-)”

“This is a great local place with delicious food, and the firefighter theme is really neat!”
“It's a pretty nice bar. There's no food IN the bar despite what the website says. Amy, the bartender, seems to be the one woman show, but she handles it like a champ.”
