“The elderly gentleman who owns the fort is a hoot. He showed us how to make a rope and how to press a penny. He is so funny. When we went to the dinner show, there were about 500 people. They had the meals stations down to a science. The whole group was fed within twenty minutes. The show was a little bit of all types of genres- 30’s country music to 90’s rock. A great show. It is well worth going.”
“Insanely good brewery - truly top notch beer, and this comes from the perspective I have from the Twin Cities where there are hundreds of brewery options and some really world class brewers.

“This is a new place! It is absolutely amazing to say the least. I had the Lamb Curry and cheese Naan. Medium heat. It was rich, spicy to the last bite, sause was Gucci, and the meat tender as can be. The cheese Naan. One of the best homemade Naan's around! The cheese was on point!- Niles and Aaron.”

“Small place, not much to look at from the outside, but great food. We ordered a vegetable biryani, lamb seekh kababs and tandoori chicken. All were excellent and quantity was very good for the price too. The biryani was very flavorful. My daughter, who is a picky eater, polished off the whole plate of tandoori chicken and picked at my lamb seekh kebab - having never eaten lamb befor. Very highly recommended.”
“I have to give the biggest shout out to Pauly's Pizzeria & Sub Co.! Brian, the owner, took a huge part of his day to personally call me regarding a question I had emailed. He not only address my question, but researched and tested the pizza machine he built to make sure it was running correctly. He sent me pictures of his test pizzas and called me again to go over ingredients of the things I order. Sadly, some of the ingredients on my pizza are corn related (my allergy) and it's been making me sick.Brian AGAIN went out of his way to research his other products to make sure I still had something I could order without getting ill. I am beyond impressed with that level of customer service and highly encourage everyone to support this local business.”

“Fantastic place. I ALWAYS stop here when I'm in Rapid City. Excellent beer selection distributed between the first and third floors. You serve yourself, so sample away! Combine your beer with a Detroit pizza that comes straight out of the oven with crispy cheese right to the edge. You might think the 6x6 will be enough for yourself, but you'd be wrong. Over-order on their delicious pizza.”

“Was visiting my daughters and their families here in Rapid City and neither of them had been here before so decided to give it a shot to celebrate my birthday. The atmosphere was great… service was amazing and to top it off a very generous patron anonymously paid for our meal! When we asked the waitress who it was so we could personally thank them, she said the individual doesn’t want to recognized. So both of my daughters’ husbands were unable to join us to celebrate as one was out of town and the other was sick…. Both of my daughters are in their third trimester so let’s just say we were all very hungry and wanting to enjoy! Thank you Shipwreck for the great experience and also to the generous individual for picking up our tab!”

“The aioli fries are a unique item that you cannot get anywhere else in the area, and are genuinely fantastic!The steaks are delicious, and a wonderful departure from the same generic "steak seasoning" used everywhere.The service was wonderful, friendly, and were actually listening and paying attention. They are still getting their bar menu figured out, and were very receptive to feedback, even changing their recipe based on the feedback.Overall, this is a wonderful place to stop in to enjoy a nice steak dinner while in the Black Hills.Parking: Plenty of parking all the way around the building. They would probably still have plenty of open spaces while having a full-house.”
“The service and food were both exceptional. I had the shrimp scampi with the addition of grilled chicken and of course the salad. Fantastic! Definitely will return.”
“Hostesses... please note, that if the dining room is empty, you do not need to stack diners on top of each other and your extremely poor judgment is the sole reason I am downrating the restaurant here in Rapid City---yes it's your fault--do better. There were only 3 or 4 tables that had guests. My wife and were sat down and plenty of room all around us. The very next customers were sat right next to us (family of six with two small children) and it totally killed my experience.The food from the kitchen and service from Journey (name of our waitress) was outstanding. I was very pleased with both. I strongly recommend the Chicago 7 Calzone. The burgers are awesome too.”
“Something has changed since the last time we were there. The food was luck warm, the server was slow. the portions are small and prices are a lot high.Wheelchair accessibility: There is wide doors and ramps to get into the restaurant. They also had designated tables for wheelchairs”
“Disclaimer: I don't know a single person who works here and never heard of the place before this evening. I expected "edibly bad" at worst.??♂️ Its awesome to be wrong sometimes??♂️?I'm a seeker of lil gems like this one and I've NEVER been this dagon impressed in 12 years of traveling for a living. Not once!!!The chicken strips are chicken and seasoned and breaded perfectly.The garlic bread was perfectly soft and toasted, and hot...both of these orders were already done before I ordered the pizza and still perfect 10mins after the pizza was done.I got the chicken queso crunch pizza and just ?...This is the kind of joint that makes eating bad feel way too good?... 11/10 would take a few hour drive to eat here again.”
“The incredible food would be reason enough to earn 5 stars, but the attentive, friendly, and enthusiastic service makes me wish I could give Sabitano's 6 stars. If you are looking for a welcoming experience with amazing food, Sabitano's is a necessary visit. I cannot wait to be back.”
“This new brewery has a delicious assortment of beers ranging from traditional to contemporary styles. I really enjoyed the grapefruit Radler and took home a growler of the Mondo Citra. Jacob is an excellent bartender and an even better person. A great place to try fresh new local beer and experience the area food trucks?”
“Starting off the list is ample with favorites of mine, perhaps yours as well. The food you find in Sasuke Ramen House is brilliantly made with professional chefs that know what's up! One of my suggestions for all my Americans is Takoyaki(Only for seafood lovers or people who aren't allergic to it, all of you have phones to search up what Takoyaki is; it brings suspense)The atmosphere, it brings an incredible view of some Naruto characters that I dearly loved. I recommend for those who haven't seen Naruto- watch it!The service are displinirary and kind! We had a beautiful woman give us are orders respectfully and enthusiastically wrote our orders with much fondess of our entrance.So yeah; go here.”

“I like coming here for coffee. The staff is nice, the coffee is good, and the place looks nice from the outside. They now have a walk up window which is a nice touch.”
“The best environment in town!! If you aren't spending at least one night a week here then you are missing out! It's a hidden gem! And at the restaurant inside, the black elk grille, they have the BIGGEST fried walleye you've ever seen plus some unique options like a German Flatbread with sauerkraut, bratwurst and horseradish that my partner just loved!! Come here for great company!”
“Great food and service. Also a good beer selection. The only negative comment I have is the salt level. The food has an excessive amount of salt. Also the baked potatoes seem to be “dry” maybe ask for extra butter. The shrimp appetizer is really good (also super salty). I have consistently had good wait staff here and the manager has always checked on us at some point.”
“It's beautiful, and very well kept.The camping is closed for the winter.Still, it's Perfect for RV stays year around.The cabins look amazing too.Noteworthy details: This is not a hotel this is a campgrounds mostly for RVs also has cabins.It's a beautiful area”

“The sweetest staff cropping up delicious treats! We were greeted with smiles and had no problem finding a flavor for everyone. Great option downtown with outdoor seating!!”
“I go here 1-2 times a week for the last 2-3 years and love it. The only drink I don't recommend is the cold brew. It was not strong and it was watered down but that's not my usual drink. Everything else I've had (and I think I've had the whole menu by now) has been amazing. Very FAST service too.”
“Fantastic people, amazing service, beautiful ramen. The quality of the food, the chef and staff was top notch. We saw the chef personally thank a family for their support as well as seat multiple parties 5 minutes before closing time without a sideways word. We also forgot our payment card on the table and the waitress came out and found us sitting in our car to return it to us. A little on the spendy side, but we had a great time. Highly recommend, we’ll be back!”
“Dakota point is a favorite of mine. The location is great and the bartenders are very friendly. They have a huge selection of beer. Great place to unwind and meet new people. Thank you for running a clean honest business in the black hills!”
“The beer flight holders are so stinking cool!! The beer was pretty good (I'm more a red wine guy). Knocked one star because I don't have a great reason to give it 5/5. It was a good experience and I've been back since then, and they do seem to have some pretty unique beers, but it still just doesn't feel like a full 5/5.”
“I visited South Dakota for the first time last week (4/4-7/24). I got in Thursday night and left early morning Sunday. I had Armadillos on Friday and liked it so much that I went back Saturday as well. Do I feel bad having ice cream two days in a row? Nopity Nope. I even went out in the rain for it on Saturday. Very quick service from the nice young adults working there! A clean an welcoming environment. It looked like a great place to meet a friend, or for a kid to celebrate a birthday. Maybe even have a first date? Loved it! South Dakota is a beautiful state. I hope to visit again and when I do, I will be sure to stop by Armadillos again!”
“I love how you can get a free cookie on your birthday.The cookies are always so soft and tastes amazing. There's always new flavors.

“The food is delicious. Their mission to serve in the community is great. The cheesecake is worth it every time. The parking is questionable though.Parking: About 10 parking spots”
“My waitress was exceptional. The food was as good as breakfast gets. The only sire spot was the rest room had a sticky floor and paper thrown around. I blame that on the fellow diners not the restaurant.”
“We are from NY and came into this gem!!! Amazing food, amazing service !! The thin crust pesto pizza, the risotto and the pepper soup ??. Thanks so much we will defenitely come back.”
“This is the best place for cocktails in Rapid City. Especially if you like low key, chill environments. But don't go in a hurry. These are scratch made, fresh ingredient, cocktails. And they take time to craft. I try to get here whenever I visit town.”
“Tonight we ordered food by DoorDash and about half of our order was forgotten so I called the restaurant. First the manager THANKED me fore calling to let her know so she could speak with her kitchen manager to make it right! I believe she said her name was Jasmine? wish I could remember but anyways! They went ABOVE AND BEYOND to make sure our order was corrected. One of our steaks was way under cooked and they sent out a new one too. She took our name and phone number to follow up. Turns out Door Dash couldn’t get our order picked up so she sent one of her staff members to our house with our order! She was so kind and so helpful. Truly what a wonderful manager and they are lucky to have her! We would have been fine with even an apology and not only did she do all of the above, they sent a free dessert coupon with the driver! Deserves a raise!”
“Definitely one of the better hotel bars I have experienced. Nice drink selection, great service and very low prices (is not gauging like most hotels do - as a result does a great business with a nice mix of locals and out of town guests) very large bar with a large out door patio. Great for after work drink and at night place gets busy with great music. Perhaps the best place in downtown Rapid City to hang up”

“Amazing little coffee shop. I love this shop. I've been going to it for the 6 years I love this coffee shop. It's unique taste is what gets me. I love having the tumeric creamy milk coffee. It's at my absolute favorites. If you haven't tried this place it definitely should be on your ”

“The manager (guy) is super nice and was so patient with his new employee who was working the register! We got a half and half pizza (each something different). It was ready in under 10 mins.Vegetarian options: You can order an all veggie pizza there.Parking: Tight fit on a very busy road and not in the best part of town. (Not their fault)”
“Wonderful good. My friend & I enjoyed breakfast & were also lucky enough to be able to partake of a few items from the lunch buffet before we were to full to eat anything else. The person assigned to our table was great. She made sure we didn't need anything else.Vegetarian options: Lage salad bar. Great selection of vegetables.Parking: When the restaurant gets busy, the parking lot does get full. But Walmart is right there, so the overflow could park in their lot.Kid-friendliness: They have kid friendly flavored pancakes & even chicken nuggets on the breakfast buffett.Wheelchair accessibility: It has handicap parking & wheel chair accessible tables.”
“This restaurant chain has a name that matches the food!!! Whenever we visit South Dakota, we have the pleasure of eating at Pizza Ranch. The chicken is delicious, very similar to what we make at home. It has a huge variety of pizzas, including sweet pizzas. This Monday 04/03/2024, we were very well received by an attendant belonging to the LIONS CLUB, very friendly and smiling. I don't forget to say that the price is great. I recommend it and I guarantee the food is the best in South Dakota.Wheelchair accessibility: Easy”

The tables and chairs flank adorable holiday decorations; plus, theres even comfy couches, hand sanitizer dispensers, and TVs! If l wasnt on travel, l'd totally be coming back!”
“This is my go-to for a quick lunch out. Food is consistently good. Service is good - might forget a small item like mayo every once and a while but pretty minor and they are always friendly if you treat them the same.”
“We love scooters and the scooters family. We always go through the one by Elk Vale because it closest to us. They are all amazing, very kind, polite, and helpful.”
“Went here for lunch, and even though it was busy, the food came out pretty quick and tasted fresh. For the price, you really can't beat it compared to other fast food places that everything is pre-made and gets dried out. I would highly recommend it if you're looking for a good burger at a good price.”
“Blizzard items are quite spendy, but the food (fries, cheeseburger) are reasonable. The comfort room (toilet) needs attending due to a lot of traffic during lunch hours.”
“Jimmy John’s is one of our go tos for a fresh sandwich on the go or in a time crunch. The sandwiches are always super fresh and ready quickly. The ability to order ahead and pick, order to go, or dine in gives a wide variety depending on your schedule. I like using the ability to order in the app or save points to be a little more savvy. The service is always pleasant and the restaurant is clean. The restaurant features decor of signs of wise words and clever sayings. A couple of our favorite sandwiches are the #8 and the #14. I have the #14 and have them run it through the garden/ add all the veggies and add a little vinegar and oil to the number .Vegetarian options: Vegetarian options available. The unwise is a great addition as an option as well.Parking: The restaurant shares parking lot spaces with other area businesses.Kid-friendliness: Kids menu options available.”

“I love Papa Murphy's pizza! My pizza is always ready to go on time and the prices are good. Don't forget to buy the monkey bread too, it's so delicious.”
“Probably the nicest Arby's I've been to traveling coast to coast. The staff were the friendliest I encountered at any restaurant or fast food place I've been to in Rapid and had zero complaints about my orders. I came in 3 times in one week and the lady working the counter remembered my name. Kudos to the employees and franchisee.”
“The staff was very courteous and attentive. The steak was probably the best tasting steak that I have had in years. It is not an inexpensive place to eat, but after finishing your meal, most will return because the food, service and nice atmosphere will make you want to return”

“First timer... The atmosphere was great, food was fantastic, and the service was amazing! Street tacos were absolutely delicious, and came with a small injector of hot sauce. First time I had experienced that, kinda made my food fun. Thai thin crust was also great, full of flavor! Don't skip out on this restaurant if you've never been!!”

I will be back!Parking: It's downtown Rapid City Parking”

They were both slightly underheated, but quite tasty. The prices, especially compared to other local places, were very reasonable.Will definitely be back.”

“A great hipster coffee shop in the middle of down town. The prices were a little high but the atmosphere and quality makes up for it. The drip coffee is rich in flavor and they have multiple types of tea lattes.”
“Yes, y'all! As a Louisiana native, I was more than ready to turn my nose up at this place, but cher, these people know they business! They served a good solid gumbo, a great etoufee, and a spectacular pecan pie. My husband had a crawfish po'boy and he loved it.Great food in a fun atmosphere. Y'all, they even have video poker in the back! I may as well be back home. Great Job Jambonz!”
“Awesome food. Since moving to this part of the country... Hands down the best Mexican food I have had in 14 years since leaving home. My only complaint is no matter how I order even at the window if they ask if I want sauce, and I only ask for green. I still get red sauce, too. So if you tip and you consistently keep getting what you specifically asked not to get.. that kinda pisses you off, and you just don't tip anymore, and you don't even bother asking. They are always polite. Sometimes, when you pull up to the drive thru to order, you can hear them whooping it up, and it's hilarious because they are cussing in Spanish... but I'm fluent, lol.”
“I just enjed an amazing spinach, mushroom and tomato omelet. It was one of the best omelets I've had eating out for sure! Music was nice. Service was fast. And note that they allow well behaved dogs inside and on the patio! ??”
“A staple of the west Rapid community for decades the atmosphere has never really changed, which makes it impressive. Employees embrace the culture, and the service is almost always good to the point it's a shock if anyone ever has a bad day when doing their job. The food is always edible and good. Portion sizes, though, are on the small side. So if you're overly hungry, it's either going to cost for more, or you may have to go elsewhere.”
“Nice ambiance and decent beer. I started with a small hefeweizen which was just ok and my husband had a transcendence (dark) that was flavorful. Good service. Thank you!”
“I brought some of the people I support from Black Hills Works and they couldn't have been more kind!!! We were very welcome there!!! And the food was really good!Dietary restrictions: The chislic was fantastic!!! I was able to adhere to my keto way of eating.”
“My husband and I visited The Bestro at the end of September. What a surprise?! The restaurant is located inside a lighting shop. It was a very unique atmosphere! I ordered the Pesto Me sandwich... it was one of the BESTro sandwiches I've ever had. The bread was so SOFT! I cannot remember what my husband ordered, but he enjoyed his lunch too! Plenty of seating inside, and a few tables outside as well. The staff was patient and friendly! I highly recommend The Bestro - - - especially if you're looking for a lunch spot!”
“This place is great! The Food the waitresses everything! We started out with Chili cheese fries!! They were soooo good! Then I ordered the Chicken Cordon Blue with potatoe rounders! Everything from the Wraps to the burgers were amazing. There were no complaints from our very large crew!!”
“We were traveling through and stopped for dinner. The staff was super friendly. There was a disgruntled customer (he was was being extra. Karen mode for sure) and they stayed cool calm and collected and didnt let that change the atmosphere at all. They were quick and the pizza tasted soooo delicious. 10/10 will stop here again if we are traveling through.”
“Came through and wanted to try hibachi. This was our first experience, we had Steak and Sukiyaki steak! Definitely recommend! Staff was prompt and polite! Food was very well seasoned and overall chef did a fantastic job! Will return again!”
“Something has changed since the last time we were there. The food was luck warm, the server was slow. the portions are small and prices are a lot high.Wheelchair accessibility: There is wide doors and ramps to get into the restaurant. They also had designated tables for wheelchairs”
“Yes!!!! Love this place. The food was amazing. Thank you to all the amazing staff and the place was so fun to look at with all the doodles and art work. Can’t wait to go back!”
“I like coming here for coffee. The staff is nice, the coffee is good, and the place looks nice from the outside. They now have a walk up window which is a nice touch.”
“The Firehouse Brewing Company has such a wonderful atmosphere whether you are sitting at one of the tall tables or their beautiful patio. They have one of the vast patio areas. Occasionally, featuring live music on the patio area. Firehouse features a wide selection of beer brewed there. They have a wide variety of menu items. The artichoke dip and beer bread is one of the all time best!!! Their Reuben is probably the best I have ever had! Pair it with their Gorgonzola Ale soup and it’s a meal that is hard to beat. They have an Asian Tuna salad that is wonderful!!”

“Great food and service. Also a good beer selection. The only negative comment I have is the salt level. The food has an excessive amount of salt. Also the baked potatoes seem to be “dry” maybe ask for extra butter. The shrimp appetizer is really good (also super salty). I have consistently had good wait staff here and the manager has always checked on us at some point.”
“I've ordered takeout here multiple times, pizza and sandwiches, and the food and the customer service has always been great. This store knows how to do it right and is managed well.”
“I really like the food a service. I personally work in the restaurant industry and I can say it was nice. Small thing my server check in on me which I think super big. The food came put fast and tasted good.”
“This is a new place! It is absolutely amazing to say the least. I had the Lamb Curry and cheese Naan. Medium heat. It was rich, spicy to the last bite, sause was Gucci, and the meat tender as can be. The cheese Naan. One of the best homemade Naan's around! The cheese was on point!- Niles and Aaron.”
“I have to give the biggest shout out to Pauly's Pizzeria & Sub Co.! Brian, the owner, took a huge part of his day to personally call me regarding a question I had emailed. He not only address my question, but researched and tested the pizza machine he built to make sure it was running correctly. He sent me pictures of his test pizzas and called me again to go over ingredients of the things I order. Sadly, some of the ingredients on my pizza are corn related (my allergy) and it's been making me sick.Brian AGAIN went out of his way to research his other products to make sure I still had something I could order without getting ill. I am beyond impressed with that level of customer service and highly encourage everyone to support this local business.”
“Food was amazing (I got the classic chicken burrito). Service was also amazing and our server was very formal and nice. Would definitely recommend if you’re passing through the area or if you live close by.”

“I loved the food here. The staff was very friendly and even talked a nice conversation. I can't wait until I can get some more food here!Kid-friendliness: Nice area with great atmosphere. Perfect fit kids. My son loved it.”
“Hostesses... please note, that if the dining room is empty, you do not need to stack diners on top of each other and your extremely poor judgment is the sole reason I am downrating the restaurant here in Rapid City---yes it's your fault--do better. There were only 3 or 4 tables that had guests. My wife and were sat down and plenty of room all around us. The very next customers were sat right next to us (family of six with two small children) and it totally killed my experience.The food from the kitchen and service from Journey (name of our waitress) was outstanding. I was very pleased with both. I strongly recommend the Chicago 7 Calzone. The burgers are awesome too.”
“Lovely & HUGE restaurant, bar & event center. WOW. Never knew this place existed, right smack in the middle of Baken Park. Now you gotta come try this delicious food ??Vegetarian options: Sorry I'm not a vegan. I'm a carnivore, the Park burger was Mmm, mmm, mmm good!Parking: Parking in front of restaurant on the east side and west side too”
“Traveling across the country, I hit a bad rain storm and decided to get a hotel in Rapid City. Walked to Enchilada Ron’s and got a warm meal and friendly service. The food was very tasty and unique, was not used to Dakota Mex but once I had my first bite I couldn’t stop. Thank you Enchilada Ron for giving me a sense of peace after a long stretch of traveling”

“I just love reading the reviews. Have you ever noticed that the people that leave the bad reviews also have the worst and I mean worst grammar. If you are going to leave a 1 star bad review, where it plainly posts your name, you should probably use a speak and spell or maybe use hooked on phonics. I guess bad review equals bad grammar, poor punctuation and ridiculous spelling.”
“My waitress was exceptional. The food was as good as breakfast gets. The only sire spot was the rest room had a sticky floor and paper thrown around. I blame that on the fellow diners not the restaurant.”
“We recently ate at the Perkins on the Lacrosse street in Rapid City South Dakota. Heather was our server. I don't even know what to say about her. She was so friendly. Our drinks were always full and the food was delicious. She was busy but she kept a smile on her face and made sure that we were taking care of. We will definitely be going back. I don't know if you will see this Heather, but you are the best. Keep that beautiful smile on your face and that good work ethic. ”
“Small place, not much to look at from the outside, but great food. We ordered a vegetable biryani, lamb seekh kababs and tandoori chicken. All were excellent and quantity was very good for the price too. The biryani was very flavorful. My daughter, who is a picky eater, polished off the whole plate of tandoori chicken and picked at my lamb seekh kebab - having never eaten lamb befor. Very highly recommended.”

“My family and i (hubby with 2 boys) went to SD for Easter break (Mar 25-29 2024) and after having driven 7 hrs coming from Colorado we ended up at this restaurant. Our server was the best he even gave my dog a doggie treat and some water. Truly a pet friendly restaurant, my puppy enjoyed all the attention too. You'll find the friendliest people at Paddy O Neill Irish Pub & Grill.Kid-friendliness: My 7yr old said everyone was so friendly ?”
“Great and impressive place! The filet was outstanding!Parking: Very limited parking due to construction and a busy downtown atmosphere. If you can walk, I would suggest just using the parking ramp in the square and enjoy the walk.”
