“We loved the show. The food was good and music so much fun. I would highly recommend for all ages!”
“This place is so clean and awesome, the people are great to deal with and were very flexible. We were there with our camper and SxS. Drove from there through the Needles Highway, the beauty was amazing, the town was so easy to get around, even a carwash for the SxS. Plan to stay there again. Thanks to everyone who works there.”
“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.”

“stopped in for a beer. wanted a convince charge to use a credit card. so, paid cash. never got change. waitress ignored me from that point on. manager wouldn't do anything. do not recommend. 0 out of 5. will never come back”
“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.”
“This is a great restaurant. My wife’s order was not up to her liking. She returned it bc she was not used to potato nachos. We did not expect a discount or comp. We were wrong! Amazing! Thanks! My appetizer was great. Drinks were great. Service at the bar was outstanding. Friendly! Responsive! Informative! Very reasonable pricing! This is the kind of restaurant travelers like us love to patron. Keep up the fantastic work! Thanks again’”

“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!”
“My daughter and I absolutely love tropical smoothie cafe and we don’t have one where we live so we were super excited to see rapid city had one upon our first visit I asked a stupid question and the gal laughed with me and the next morning she remembered us and my order! We will be back Daily while visiting! Delicious food and smoothies!
Great employees!”
“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.♥️”
“Everytime I've came to this place I have a great experience. Today was my birthday and even though I did not ride the saddle. The waitress made it a great day with her bright service and the birthday ice cream. Food was cooked perfectly even I got to full to finish and not once felt judge for dinning by myself. Thank you!”
“Brent was an excellent, excellent server. He made helpful selections. Our food was over the top good. The cocktails were tasty with the right amount of alcohol. The Oktoberfest lunch menu was very German, The service was excellent. We are from Indiana and highly, highly recommend Minerva’s. Thanks for a 10 star lunch!”

“Would absolutely recommend Shipwrecks Bar & Grill! They have their own separate gluten free fryer. My 2 year old son with Celiac and other allergies was able to have walleye fingers with French fries and loved them! They even made it into a kids meal for him! The head chef was very knowledgeable about celiac and willing to talk with us! Wonderful experience all around!”

“This place is the best!!! The food is incredible, everything was fresh and yummy and so satisfying. The best part was the staff. I was treated so well here. I had forgot what it was like to go out to eat and be treated like a guest. There was a sign on the door saying they were shortstaffed and to be patient. I was ready to wait but I was helped in a timely manner, my food came out in a reasonable time and it was fresh and I left feeling like this is a one of the best restaurant experiences I’ve had it since 2019! What an amazing local restaurant with great food, great service, awesome staff and I highly recommend a visit. You won’t be disappointed!!!”
“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 :)”
“My boys and I came to rapid on vacation and decided we wanted bbq, so we tried holy sm(oaks), we decided it is worthy of a 10 star review. We had the family platter for 4, the 3 of us couldn't eat it all. It was all very good. Josh the waiter was very polite, didn't say much tho. Im sure he will become more comfortable as he gets older.
I would highly reccomend this bbq spot.”

“We were in town for an event and stopped here for supper. I’m gluten and dairy free and the staff was helpful and my burger on the gluten free bun with the baked sweet potato was the best meal I have had at a restaurant since my dietary restrictions! Wholeheartedly recommend.”
“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!”
“My boyfriend and I stopped by the roasting shop and were immediately welcomed by Nick, one of the owners! He stopped what he was doing (as this isn’t a retail store…whoops!) and showed us the roasting process, as well as made us bags of coffee to take home. We can’t wait to try it once we get back to Green Bay, but just based off of Nick’s welcoming personality, we would absolutely recommend Black Hills Coffee Company!”

“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“This is definitely one of my favorite places to eat in Rapid when we can afford it. I really like the fried rice during hibachi, so I always get double so I have extra to take home. I've brought my 1 year old a couple times and she loves the onion fire volcano trick. The food is delicious, and the show is fun too.”

“Raven and the Black Hills Party Pedaler is such a fun party! They take care of everything! Drinks, destinations, party games and entertainment! I highly recommend this for your next birthday party or even just because you want to hang out with the girls!”
“Food was delicious. The service was awesome. She was very attentive. I been to Red Lobster several times. I been satisfied time.”
“Came to visit Rapid city, SD. Ordered it through door dash….& oh my gosh it was amazing! We will definitely be coming back to eat there again! We had the ribs, brisket, Mac & cheese, & the potato salad….mouth watering! If it was that good through delivery I can’t wait to taste what it’s like upfront! 10/10 we recommend! 🤍”
“5 STARS! They have the best cheese sticks, and I love dipping them in the ranch they serve with the cheese sticks. Cheese pizza is amazing, and it has a very subtle basil and spicy taste. Love the pizza, and hopefully I can become hired. (love you mom and dad! btw im the owners daughter)”
“Love the decor & vibe in there! The drink I got was so tiny though and I could barely taste the alcohol but it was good. The steak was the best I’ve ever had and the garlic fries, yum! Such a good meal! The dessert was so fricken good! The entire experience there was just awesome! Loved it!”
“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!”
“If you know my husband and I , you know that sharing a great meal together is one of our favorite experiences. Over the years, we’ve dined everywhere from world-renowned restaurants to hidden gems tucked away in small corners—and often, those little spots are every bit as memorable. For a long time, Delmonico’s was one of our regular local go-to’s. But after a couple of disappointing visits years ago, we stopped going. Tonight, we decided to give it another chance—and I am so glad we did. We shared the lamb entrée, and it was flawless. The sear had a delicate, crisp crust that gave way to perfectly tender, flavorful meat. The couscous was balanced, light yet savory, and the pairing elevated the dish to something extraordinary. Honestly, I haven’t had lamb this good since living in the Middle East, where I once had it prepared fresh—literally from pasture to plate. Until tonight, nothing here had come close to that standard. Our waitress, Kiara ( spelling?) , delivered impeccable service—attentive, genuine, and engaging without being overbearing. The GM, Ashley, has clearly re-imagined the dining experience at Delmonico’s, and it shows.”

“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!”
“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!!!!”

“I think Freddy's is one of the best fast food burger places in all of rapid city! I go here quite often and I am always pleased with the quality of the food, the kindness of the workers and the taste of everything overall! My only criticism of Freddy's is the drive through, its not terrible to get into but getting out is a mess! I always find myself complaining about it on the drive home, I wish I could give this place a 4.7 but sadly google reviews doesn't allow that. I have had no bad experiences with the food or workers of this place, I think it is all amazing! The food is excellent and cheap and the workers are always very nice and friendly I love going here and just getting a quick dinner. It can sometimes be a bit crowded inside but they always have open seats! Good job Freddy's, I love coming here! Thank you for reading my review!
(I ordered two California styles, one with no onions and no sauce and one with onions and sauce, the combo meal was 11.89$)”
