“These gems are having a hard time because our serving women and men aren’t using them enough. Retired military too! Nonappropriated activities can’t make it unless we use them. Thanks decisions made long ago that choked MWR activities out. Let’s take care of our service members.

Nice atmosphere with a good selection of drinks. Maybe add some modern non-alcohol beer since that’s trending. Gladly come here again.

Great place.”

“Great place. Good food. Great service. Friendly staff. Killer cinnamon rolls!!”

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

“If you're looking for authentic Bangladeshi food, this is the place to be! I had a great experience dining here-the flavors were spot on, and the dishes truly reminded me of home. Highly recommend it for anyone craving real Bangladeshi cuisine!”

“Had an awesome experience with my friend, great food, Morgan was awesome! I’ll definitely be back”

“This place has food that is so very good!!! Highly recommend!!”

“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.”

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

“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!”

“I want to personally recommend The Bashful Bison to everyone I know. Today, they hosted a lunch for my department from work- 25 sandwiches in total with various chips and drinks. They went above and beyond for the event. Not only did they have everything ready when we got there, all the sandwiches were correct, served fresh, and were absolutely incredible. They made what could have been a stressful event very easy. I will be recommending them to every department/person I work with as well as all my friends. Added bonus, they were absolutely wonderful in accommodating a couple of special requests (vegan and condiment substitutions) as well having tasty vegetarian options.”

“Exceptional beer selection and killer pizza all at very reasonable prices. Service was top knotch as well.

Definitely a must stop for locals and visitors alike”

“Went here with my SHY, CONSERVATIVE husband. He’s a typical cowboy and prefers regular black coffee. Says this coffee is great! Not the typical “burnt sludge” you get when asking for a regular coffee. I grabbed a chai and the gal was very pleasant and a “girl’s girl” type😊. Also, gave a decent military discount! Nothing at all to feel “uncomfortable” about, it’s just coffee folks, with some pretty ladies included. Thanks for the good wake up cup! Moving across the country over the next several months. Will DEFINITELY be using this as one of our coffee stops.♥️”

“The customer service was amazing! I emailed this location asking for a special touch to my order because I was having them delivered to my family with a surprise message. Abby emailed me back so quickly and was happy to help me! She wrote exactly what I wanted on the box and even emailed me a picture so I could see what it looked like before it got delivered. I bake a lot and am honestly not *that* impressed by Crumbl cookies usually, but the customer service at this location has made me a big fan :)”

“the food and service are amazing! best Mexican food we have had!”

“Our family loves Sumo. The food and service is always excellent. Best sushi in rapid city. 😊”

“The pizza and salads and all the food is always so good and fresh and they top the pizzas really well . And the variety of pizza and other food items are really good and they have really good deals .”

“We LOVE this bar! This is our first time in and oh my gosh. Service, atmosphere, drinks AMAZING. Best bar in Rapid! Very classy, low key. They have snacks on menu also but we didnt order any. Nice Halloween decor as well :) Whiskey menu is incredibly impressive and they have other liquors as well. 10/10.”

“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.”

“My wife and I absolutely love this place. Friendly staff, clean environment, and crazy good flavors. Well worth the extra pounds we gain when we frequent this place 🤣”

“I love Pacific Rim but you folks really need to update hours and menu online. Facebook says open till 9pm, google says 830, called at 755 for take out and told already closed.😔”

“Had a good time there tonight”

“Went here for my 20th Anniversary Dinner. EXCELLENT FOOD, Great Atmosphere, and Wonderful Staff. Good Restaurant, Good Memories.”

“I got there at about 3Pm and I was worried that the pizza might be stale. Not the case at all! Everything was great, always the best chicken of any restaurant, pizza was plentiful, salad bar was great and always super desserts!”

“They have the best coffee & terrific customer service. This is my go to coffee shop.”

“The Bison Maytag Marsala Mushroom Pasta was absolutely amazing! The staff is outstanding! Highly recommend!”

“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.”

“We went there on a Tuesday so there weren't a lot of people, which my wife and I loved.
They are ok with kids, although they didn't have any highchairs.
Food is served by the place besided them, its not too much of a hassel and everybody is very helpful and nice.

Vegetarian options: The place next door has some vegetarian options like cold sandwiches.
You can ask them to remove meat for you for other options.

Kid-friendliness: They are ok with kids, although they didn't have any highchairs.”

“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.”

“Great cigar lounge. Five stars”

“Had a craving for Thai and stopped in. Tom Kha coconut soup hit the spot. Comes with a side of rice, making an excellent combo. Pad Thai was a bit strongly seasoned, but still delicious. Crispy tofu was tasty. Would definitely return!!”
