11 Best American Restaurants in Spearfish

“Our visit: 10/3/25 5:15pm - reserved table for 2 online. We’ve been Travelling the states for 6 months. We’re on our last leg to go home. The Farmhouse is a beautifully built restaurant. We were greeted with genuine smiles and seated outside with a beautiful view. Our server, Corie, acknowledged us right away with a smile and a nod, as she was also taking care of the next table. (I love that). She didn’t skip a beat giving that table her cheerful attention at the same time. We ordered drinks - perfectly made. Ordered the Beast Meatballs & sauce. Holy goodness. The VERY BEST meatballs and sauce we have ever had. We had The Dip, the Triple cheese mushroom burger and a Caesar salad. It was ALL SO delicious. My partner said, “If we lived here, we’d be coming here twice a week”. I’ve never heard him say that! (And we’ve been to many many delicious restaurants on our travels! Thank you Farmhouse staff! We can’t wait to visit again. ♥️“

“My wife and I are from California, traveling across the country. It was our first time seeing and eating at this fast-food restaurant, and it was a hit! Everything we had that evening was great! However, I am afraid I cannot eat this more than once a month, or else we will have high cholesterol.“

“We enjoyed a great meal here on our trip to Spearfish. Our waitress Sherrie provided excellent service to our group, and was delightful and entertaining to chat to. Thanks for a memorable experience. 😊👍💝“

“So many compliments on your ice cream from my daughter and new son’s pre-wedding ice cream social! The flavors were a hit, the creamy treats were just what kids and adults needed the night before the big day! Thank you for providing us with a great experience! I’m sure many will stop in Spearfish for an ice cream on their way home!“

“Stopped by Applebee’s last night and had such a great experience! Diego, the manager, went out of his way to make sure everything was perfect—super friendly and really on top of things. You can tell he takes pride in making guests feel welcome.
Jack, the bartender, was fantastic. The bar wasn’t too crowded, so he took the time to chat a bit and make some great drink recommendations. Everything he made was spot-on, and the service was quick without ever feeling rushed.
Overall, the food, drinks, and atmosphere were all excellent. Big thanks to Diego and Jack for making it such an enjoyable night—I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Placed drink order, reviewed menu, placed order and drinks still hadn't arrived. The server came back to tell us they didn't have the ingredients for the drink that I ordered. Ordered the frickle burger, came out with jalapeños poppers and frickles, sent it back, and the replacement came back out within minutes. The frickles were removed, and the popper remained. Sever offered to have it made again, but by this point, the experience was already ruined. The server made sure to let us know she took that off the bill, like obviously I'm not paying for something I didn't even eat that yall keep messing up. but I was supposed to be appreciative of that big jester of customer service or lack of I should say. The other item ordered was a Philly cheesesteak that was so soggy that the bun just fell apart. The steak was still mooing, I took the meat home for my dog. We had also placed an order for bangin shrimp to go, which was the very first item to arrive to the table, when we got home there were only 6 shrimp and the menu clearly states the order has 8.“
