After being inundated with burgers, I felt like something a little lighter/healthier was in order. AMBIANCE - just off the main strip of downtown Rapid City you'll find this cafe. Cafe is spacious and clean, and is connected to a brewery where, if you're inclined to do so, they will bring your food over to you while you sit there. The Brewery has board games you can play at your table and a variety of pinball machines. SERVICE - service was....ok. I was asking the guy about one of the toppings on the sandwich and he looked at me like I was an alien. Maybe it was his first day? Not sure. He was nice, but not as knowledgeable as you might like for someone working the register. MENU - they had a pretty good mix of sandwiches (hot and cold), and also had a few sides. I also saw they had some homemade lemonades and such, which I was tempted to try, but did not end up trying instead. FOOD - my wife and mother got the badlands sandwich which had roasted sirloin mushrooms, swiss and and side of horeradish mayo. My mom and I both did the rapid city which kind of seemed like a philly cheesesteak sandwich (grilled beef, onions, peppers, jalapenos, smoked gouda with a lime cilantro), while my kids rocked the pastrami. The sandwiches were a pretty good size (at almost $20 a piece, they better be). My kids thought the pastrami was good and after days of burgers, it was a nice change up. My wife liked her sandwich, which was mostly carried by the horseradish mayo. My mom and I thought our sandwiches were just...ok. The meat needed salt, and the lime cilantro was not very flavorful. I ended up stealing some of my wife's horseradish mayo which helped, but just a bit. OVERALL - good not great. Wish the meat was a little more flavorful and the food came out a bit quicker (there was only one order ahead of us and it took a good 20-30 minutes to get our food). Not sure I'd come back.

We were greeted with: "Where would you like to sit?" I replied that we hadn't been there before.. would have liked to know our options (more on that later) but the disinterested hostess grabbed a couple menus and took off. We didn't get far - there was a small table for two overlooking the deck (I might have liked to sit there had I known...), right next to a short ramp down about 12" from the hostess area. I believe this area was originally a porch, so the floor wasn't very heavily reinforced. To the point that every time a staff person came through, it was as though Hermann Munster was trudging through - our entire table shook, my iced tea actually spilled over the top. This went on through our entire meal. I would have said something, but there was no obvious manager in sight, and what could they have done? Perhaps moved us, but I grit my teeth and went on with Life. On a better note, the food was very good: I had the Buffalo Meatloaf with mashed potato. The gravy was a bit overpowering - it's a shame that this is the first time I'd had buffalo and have no idea what it tastes like. I should have ordered gravy on the side. My wife had macaroni & cheese with a piece of grilled chicken. We both had small salads to start. We're not heavy eaters, and usually only get through about 1/2 of our meals, so we were done rather quickly. Unfortunately, there was no sign of our server for ~10 minutes while we waited patiently. There was only one other party in the room, so it's not like she was occupied with other customers. I finally had to go ask for our check at the hostess station. Even then, someone else brought our check. We're usually big tippers, and frequently will tip 100% for great service. We tipped the nominal 15% and left. We'd go again... maybe. But we wouldn't sit anywhere near the ramp.

Momma's salad had cubed repurposed prime rib chunks. I had one of those chunks and again no wow factor. They appear to have a very extensive alcohol variety, but they were lacking a decent IPA.
