“Chuck Wagon Supper and Show is a great experience - good food and fun entertainment! Enjoy the Dances with Wolves Exhibit and stop in early enough to see the Ropes, Tin, Blacksmith - make some toilet paper sturdy rope, engrave a shingle or brick, and make your own tin plate. A must stop for the whole family --”
“I can’t believe that I have not posted a review of this place! We went months ago and omg, amazing!!! This place was my favorite. After many drinks, two shirts and stickers I will continue to recommend them to anyone and everyone.”
“Stayed in Cabin 3 it is fresh, new and very clean & comfortable. Kitchen has everything you need. Deck, gas grill and personal fire pit right next to your cabin. What more would you want other than a beautiful mountain view. We will return, leave your cell phone home except for pictures cell service spotty. Relax this is it! Five 🌟 Star's in my book. Thanks Garret”
“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.”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“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 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!”

“This place is always buzzing with customers, so be prepared for a bit of a wait—but trust me, it’s more than worth it. The food is absolutely phenomenal, and the staff couldn’t be more welcoming. They consistently go above and beyond to ensure every guest feels valued. And when it comes to pizza? No contest—this is hands-down the best in town.”
“Best Mexican Food in the Black Hills. Absolutely my regular go to for home cooked comfort food. Staff is friendly, professional and welcoming. Place is clean, comfortable and inviting. Food is fantastic and served quickly. Must go for best Mexican food in the black hills.”
“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 :)”

“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!”

“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!!!!!”
“Just got to try their new lunch menu out and the food was great and service even better!”
“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!”

“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.”
“Great place and great staff! Really good selection of beer our new favorite place!”

“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
“I don’t know what they sprinkle on the highlander grogg, but it’s amazing!”
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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”

“The restaurant has a great atmosphere. The owner is very friendly, cares about his patrons. The staff has good attitudes and great customer service. Classy place. The Food is So DELICIOUS. Definitely would recommend and go back.”
“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! :-)”

“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!!!!”

“Que Pasa is an absolute standout! The atmosphere is lively and welcoming, perfect for a night out. The margaritas were incredible, perfectly balanced and seriously some of the best I’ve had. The food came out fast, fresh, and full of flavor. Rad, behind the bar, truly lived up to his name. Super friendly, attentive, and made sure I had everything I needed without hovering. He really made the whole experience even better. If you're looking for great drinks, fresh food, and top-notch service, Que Pasa delivers. I'll definitely be back!”
