Sear Black Hills Steakhouse

Sear is consistently delicious, and my steak was cooked perfectly! Server Tim was outstanding!

Went here for lunch on our last day in Rapid City, they were open for lunch on Sunday from 11am-2pm. When we got there was plenty of parking, but im sure dinner may get busier than lunch. When we got in the host let us pick between main dining and the bar area, we chose to sit in the bar area since I wanted to watch Football and felt it was okay for the kids to be alittle louder in case someone was trying to enjoy the quiet. Service was friendly, they have e a decent kids menu and the Shrimp Po Boy and chicken Rice bowl were amazing definitely recommend!

A group of us visited Sear for lunch today for the first time, and unfortunately, we were Not impressed. The restaurant previously operated as Shooters, which we found to be much better overall.

While the interior of Sear is nice — clearly a lot was invested in the décor, over the top- including high-end chairs / decor and upholstery — the food simply doesn’t match the upscale appearance or the prices they charge. The food was very average, with nothing particularly impressive. Even the French fries tasted like something you could get from fast food chain. The quality was average at best, and certainly not worth the cost.

I would rate the food 3 stars, mainly for presentation and atmosphere, but the value for money is definitely lacking. Sadly, we have no plans to return. Very disappointing. Definitely would not recommend.

Great local steakhouse. Their description is accurate. Great steaks, Great sear. My NY strip and my wife's Filet were cooked perfectly. Caesar salad was excellent. Creme brûlée was one of the best we have eaten. Modest but reasonable wine list. Great for families, groups or date night. If we lived locally this would be one of our regular places. Shout out to Janet who did an awesome job taking care of us. Absolutely can see why it was an Open Table award winner the last 3 years.

What a great dining experience we had, everything we ordered was absolutely perfect. Steaks were cooked to perfection, the bread with the garlic of butter was incredible. Thank you to our Waiter Tim, He made this experience memorable!!

Had a great date night with my wife. Food was great. Service was good. Love the big cozy booths by the bar.

This is one of the most amazing steakhouses I've ever been to. The food was amazing, a very fancy interior, and very kind and professional servers. You know its a good steakhouse when once you get your steak, they ask you to cut open your steak to make sure it is cooked the way you want. Mine was cooked PERFECTLY. An absolute must do if you are visiting Rapid City.

Step through the doors of Sear and you’ll feel as though you’ve entered a sanctuary for adventurers who crave refinement as well as sustenance. This is no common tavern—this is a hall of elegance, where the flames of the kitchen conjure art as much as nourishment.

The scallops arrived like rare jewels, seared with such precision they seemed blessed by culinary magic. The steak—glorious, perfectly charred—was a masterpiece of fire and flavor, the kind of dish worthy of a royal feast. Every plate felt like treasure won, each bite restoring vitality and delight.

And then there was our server. Ah, the bard of the evening! With a voice that could launch campaigns and a wit that could charm dragons, he elevated the entire experience. His timing, his humor, and his effortless charisma turned dinner into theater. Truly, one wonders why he is not yet performing on grand stages—or lending his voice to the epics that echo across kingdoms.

The ambiance of Sear is chic and glowing: warm light dancing against modern lines, an atmosphere both inviting and elevated. It is the kind of place where one might imagine guild leaders and spellcasters convening—serious enough for council, but with enough sparkle for revelry.

Five radiant stars. Dining at Sear is not simply a meal, but a natural 20 on the dice of life—an evening of charm, laughter, and flavors that will follow you long after the quest has ended.
