30 Best American Restaurants near Summerset

“Just tried this place tonight with my husband. It doesn’t look like much on the outside but don’t let that deter you! Amazing food and service! I got The Bleu Burger with caramelized onions, bacon, and a house made bleu cheese sauce that not overwhelming but the perfect compliment to the burger. My husband had the Hot Hamburger and it exceeded his expectations as well. Both burgers were half pound so I guarantee you will be satisfied. Check this place out!“

“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 ;)“

“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!“

“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!!!!“

“the best food I've ever had and always consistent!! thank you!!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Delicious meals! Great service! Family friendly atmosphere. Highly recommend ❤“

“This was my first time at any Culver's and I give it 5 stars. I interacted with two employees and both were super nice. The burger (butter burger double with cheese) was very tasty and absolutely fresh. The service was fast and the interior clean and comfortable. I say this location is a step up from the normal fast food experience.“

“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!“

“Delicious meals! Great service! Family friendly atmosphere. Highly recommend ❤“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great quality food!! Always Fresh!“

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

“Our Host was also our Server. He sat us at a HUGE booth, which can fit 4-7 people (there were only 2 of us). The Drink Menu is extensive. Since we didn't know if we were expecting, I didn't take advantage of the Key Lime Pie Martini. Will more than likely be back to try this! Appetizer/Menu and pricing were as expected (on the higher end of things, but it was my Birthday, so it was ok). We got the Hot Crab Dip for an Appetizer. Could've used more bread. Husband got the Wild Boar Lasagna and I got the Coconut Curry Shrimp Bowl. All 3 Dishes were great! It got awkward after our Server took our empty plates, since it took him awhile to bring us our bill. We didn't know if we had to get up and pay, or if they thought we stayed at the hotel, to charge our room...Husband had to take out his wallet, and put on the table, to show we were ready for our bill.“

“Awesome vibe, great fish and chips, went back in the morning and was met by Rad the bartender. Makes the best Bloody Mary and
Is a great guy. Rad made it a great experience and made me want to come back to visit from Chicago. Great spot, great food, and great staff. Thank you Rad and Paddy’s staff“

“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!“

“Almost a 4 Star review (Out of A.Legion Tags), but Dani the Bar Keep was Sooo peppy & 'Z' for Zeta was Sooo friendly + informative it gets a 5!! VERY spacious. Lots of pool tables, large horseshoe bar, plenty of parking spaces.“

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

“This is a great bar with a small town feel...ALL of the bartenders and local regulars are absolutely awesome!!...it's a great place to come to if you need a break from the kiddos, work, or just the daily stress of life!!...but keep in mind ..it's not a restaurant...it's a bar!!...it's not suited for rowdy kids....my wife and I drive from the far east side of Rapid to come here and enjoy ourselves on a regular basis...if your looking for a great drink at a fair price..served by great bartenders. While surrounded by some awesome locals ..then this is a great place to check out!!...“

“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!“

“Annie was our server. She was very pleasant and helpful with the menu. A very nice person. She was fast and efficient. Will do good for your business.“

“Great Price and Salad Bar always brings us to Ruby Tuesdays. I rarely ever leave a review, however during our most recent visit on Thursday September 24, our server Kay made our experience even better. She was handling the service of several tables with ease and with a wonderful attitude. Kay, you are truly created in Gods image and, like Jesus, have a heart and passion for service to your neighbors. Hope to see you again on our next visit.“

“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.“

“Our service was amazing food was great, but what made it extra special was our server Lynne she was amazing drinks never went below half way food came out super fast she took our plates to make room for the next plates always had a smile so super kind. I will definitely return with family and ask for the same server.“

“Went 2x during Sturgis Rally 2026
Hostess sat us immediately. Upon 2nd arrival she informed us there may be a wait, we were fine with that. Our server Jake (our server both times) came quickly, was very friendly and both times was spot on with food & coffee. He didn't forget a thing and was super friendly. Our 3rd visit that same week, service was 'meh'. If we make it again before we leave, we're hoping to get Jake again. Most excellent service!!! Oh, food was good too, but Jake was the best!!“

“Updated Sept 2026 - this is the only restaurant that consistently will automatically sit customers in their bar area without first asking if customers mind... then act like it's an inconvenience to sit customers in a different area. PLEASE get in the habit of asking before assuming.
**********
Usually great food and service, broccoli is often close to raw, soup sometimes cold, but the burger is always a hit as are chips and salsa!

Really HATE when they automatically go to seat us in the bar without asking first. I've brought this up several times (that they ask first instead of assume) but they apparently assume everyone wants to sit in the bar area, even with a wide open restaurant during nonbusy times.“
