“I stopped here for a beer while passing through a couple weeks ago. They’re making some truly delicious brews here. They have a broad range of styles. I’ve tried their sours, porter-styles, and some of the other ales. I didn’t get to stop back by when I passed back through last night but was able to get the Bruce Banner at the Rush game at the Summit. Doing great work! Friendly bar staff. Cozy tap room. I’m a fan!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“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.”
“Had a great meal followed by an awesome music performance. Would definitely recommend. If ever in SD again we will be back! Amazing story, amazing service and an amazing end to our trip. Thank you!”
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!”

“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 :)”
“Classic story. A couple on a date shows up 15-20 min before close and she orders a well done steak (sad panda) and he orders rare New York strip.
Everything came out of the to kitchen perfectly. The manager on shift checked in with us and I can say with a line cook history I told her to order a salad instead 😂
Highly recommend this place. Good teamwork and positive vibes.”
“The Manager was amazing. He acknowledged us and took very good care. After a misunderstanding for lack of better terms. I love eating there at the Gold Bison. And I will return and tell all the visitors who come threw my shop. Lil Gail’s In The Up Town Mall. Appreciate your hospitality. Dennis”

“We’re on our way through. We weren’t able to go to our first choice since they closed early. We’re glad they did. I loved the good vibes sandwich so much; huge fan of sweet and savory. The fries were excellent—hot and crispy. My husband loved his blackened salmon salad too. Our server was Adam and he was very good. Refilled my water and ketchup exactly when I wanted without having to ask. Would definitely come back if in the area again.”
“Where to start on this…. I guess at the front door where we met annually nice and sincer Gentleman who gave us our card pass and instructions how to get to Juniper since we have never been there. Met an Awesome young man in the elevator who worked there and gave us an over view of Juniper and what to expect.
Greeted by Jamie and led to our table looking east over the city!!! Great view. Jamie was also our server and helped and made suggestions for our meal!! She was SUPER SWEET and knew her job…. And was soooo much fun as she helped make this a Special Evening for my wife and I.
We started out with an appetizer of Bread with French Baguette bread, Garlic Butter, Balsamic Vinegar and Olive Oil… one of my favorites!! My wife ordered the the Roasted Beet Salad and I a Caesar Salad. Both Excellent!!!
Our Main entrée was Wild Caught Alaskan Halibut and I had the Steak Special with Scallops. Both Dishes were INCREDIBLE!!! The flavor of her Halibut was outstanding and I would order anytime. But I have to say about my steak…. It was the BEST STESK I’ve had in Rapid City in the 51 years I’ve live here. Cooked to PERFECTION (Med Rare) with the most outstanding sear that added sooo much flavor!!! Only place that compares to this is Mortan’s Steak House in St. Louis.
This was Truley a night for us to remember with the view of Rapid City at night, the EXCELLENT FOOD and SERVICE!!
I can’t Thank Jamie, the Chefs and Staff for making our Night Out one to remember!!!!!”
“1st time here and couldn't ask for more. Good food, great portions & excellent service. Shame we don't have this company in South West England.”
“Family and friends met at Minerva’s, Rapid City for Easter Brunch! What an outstanding experience! Thank you, Neil Whartman and staff, for a splendid meal. Incredible food, lots of choices, excellent job all around!”

“Atmosphere stars are because it is located in a food court of mall which has been loud every time we have visited. My son and I completely love these crepes, sweet or not. We get the crepes for carry out so we can enjoy without the conversation noise of all the other tables. Delicious crepes.”
“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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 pumpkin tortellini, goat cheese cigar and crème brûlée were absolutely delicious!!!!”

“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!”
“Friendly staff who seem to genuinely care when things go wrong. Never had a truly "bad" experience here!
Only negative is the unmarked bump since the re-paving, though they do try to put employee vehicles to avoid people hitting it.
Parking: No parking. It is a drive-through only location. I do wish they would mark the awkard curb on the entrance.”
“I don’t know what they sprinkle on the highlander grogg, but it’s amazing!”
“LOVE this place! The food is amazing and the hibachi is awesome! Kids love going to Fuji. It is spendy but I feel well worth the money for the great food and a show. 10/10! Parking is the only drawback, but that is because this place stays busy because it's so good. They always get us in within 5-10 minutes, even when busy, or right away. Keep up the amazing quality and service!”
Cheap Eats
“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.”
“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.”
“Absolutely delicious. I was in Custer for a week and drove up to Rapid City to get some sushi. (Not that Rapid City is a well-known hot bed of sushi, I just don't live anywhere near a sushi restaurant, so I take advantage when I can.) Anyway, well worth the drive.
The fried oysters appetizer was perfectly done with a sauce that I am saving as a dip for other things. All of the rolls I got were perfectly balanced. The Ace Roll was my favorite.
Lovely family running it as well.
I will definitely be returning the next time I am in the area, and I recommend you visit this place if you are in Rapid City.”
“Ordered family meal and brisket sandwiches to go and was still hot and juicy when we got it home like we were served in the restaurant food was delicious top tier very clean restaurant super nice staff and they had it ready to go astonishingly fast will come here every time I come to rapid sorry for photo most of it was eaten by the time I thought I had to leave a review because I never do.”
“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.”

“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”
“Food was good and worth the price. However, the decorative hats did not hold their shape well when placed on the head. Decorative hat and Steak Frites photos attached.”
“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! :-)”
“Food was delicious. The service was awesome. She was very attentive. I been to Red Lobster several times. I been satisfied time.”

“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.”

“Brianna was amazing tonight!! Our flight was supposed to take off at 850 pm but got delayed due to weather. She was very accommodating and kept us entertained with her interaction with us and other customers. All airport bars need this type of customer service. Keep up the good work!!!!”
