Finally made it to Sturgis SD for the 85th annual bikers rally, 2025 total head count 537K+ LOUD!!!! HARLEY DAVIDSONS. Every street, ally, bar... is mobbed. Need to get lunch, ok Badlands Bar & Grill in Wall SD. SURPRISE I was seated immediately as a loner. Menu - Rocky Moutain Oysters and Baverian Pretzels...daaahhh Yes, Oysters and Pretzels. Yeah the oysters were nicely fried, crisp on the outside, nice, soft & moist on the inside (can't believe I'm describing BB's, oh look up Rocky Mountain Oysters) The Pretzels were just soft pillowy puffs. Oh yes, had breakfast the following day read more

I had just come off the trail an hour earlier from backpacking hardcore in the Badlands just down the road. I was in need of protein and people! The bartender was a darling -- professional, pleasant, fun, and thoughtful. She took good care of me, and made sure I was able to get dinner even though it was close to the kitchen's closing time. Badlands Bar has been remodeled and the interior is bright and welcoming in a natural wood finish for very basic, hand built looking furniture. The restaurant bar is quite big and I can imagine it can get quite busy and accommodate a lot of people. It's very, very clean throughout. Forndinner, I had steak tips with fries -- I asked for medium rare and it came medium well. The meat was nothing special but it was definitely lean and and exactly what I was looking for after days of backpacking in the Badlands. The French fries were great, although next time I will try the coleslaw instead. The fat fried homemade bread was not as good as one of the servers said it would be. The price for my dinner was absolutely reasonable. I will definitely return after my next trip to the Badlands. read more

It's overpriced. The food is ok. The service is meh. What does this place have going for it? It's better than the cafe at Wall Drug. That's the draw. I went with the chicken philly. It's not bad. Kinda tastes like something you can make at home. The fries that come with it, however, are pretty tasty. The rest of the family got personal pizzas. They weren't great. They were ok. I'd say on the level of a DiGiorno. Edible. Serves the purpose. But when the bill comes, it's gonna hurt a little more. I'm not telling you not to go. After all, there isn't a ton of choices in Wall, and it is better than where most people go in Wall Drug. But with any tourist trap, you never feel great afterwards. You've been had. And you know it. If given the choice, I'd recommend avoiding Wall altogether as far as dining goes. Drive down the road a tad and get something better and more reasonable. read more

Badlands Bar - Chicken philly - Pizza Near Me - Wall, South Dakota

YUMMY!!! Split the French Dip and Legends Beef sandwiches with my travel buddy. Have mercy on my beef & carb loving soul!!! Both were delicious! French dip: Thinly shaved steak, provolone cheese, the bread and OH! - the au jus! All were perfection. Just. Perfect. I had the fries but in hindsight, I should have ordered the mashed taters. Legends Beef: An open faced sammy of beef piled on glorious mounds of mashed taters sitting on pillowy slices of white bread smothered in brown gravy. Y'all, my mouth is watering just thinking about it. I'd recommend either sandwich but would INSIST that you try the mashed taters. My ONLY ding is this is a Pepsi house. While I haven't tried it years cuz I am a Gold Peak Snob, the Brisk Sweet tea from the fountain was surprisingly good. read more

I ordered the "mashed potatoes topped with chicken breasts". What i got was a pile of mashed potatoes with two chopped up chicken strips... yes, chicken strips. That plate was $15.50. Extremely misleading. All our plates were on the higher price scale and def not worth it. read more

Was in around 4:00 got seated across from the bar. Sat for 15 mins no one acknowledged Us. 3 people sitting at the bar 1 table and they were done eating. Guess the bartender was responsible for our table not sure but he had time to stand there and count his tip money. when we left he said hope you enjoyed it. said it was hard to enjoy when nobody waited on us. 1st & last time. Went to Red Rock ate there last it was great. read more

Rating this on a curb because there are just not many good options in Wall. We were here two different times during our two day stay. The aesthetic inside is nice-- good decor, lighting, and seating is comfortable. Service was friendly both times we came. Food wasn't spectacular but it was definitely decent and better than anything else we had had in the Black Hills of South Dakota up to that point. First visit we ordered a side salad which was bright, colorful, fresh, and big enough to feed 3 people as an appetizer. Their ranch was good-- this is always important. We ordered a pizza for our main entree. Our usual pepperoni and pineapple on one half and pepperoni and mushroom on the other. Crust was thick and chewy with a good flavor. Cheese was melty and tasty. Just a good, solid pizza. Second visit we ordered the jalapeño poppers to start. Basic but tasty. Also dipped in their yummy ranch. My husband ordered a Bacon Cheeseburger and fries. They use a thick cut bacon that was tasty. A good hearty burger and the french fries were good. I ordered the Steak Tips, as it was highlighted on the menu as a "Favorite," and also recommended by the server. It was okay but, coming from Texas, we're super picky about steak. Ordered the mashed potatoes as a side with the brown gravy and wish I would've gotten it on the side-- it took over. Would definitely come here again and recommend this place to anyone in the area, but it's nothing to write home about. read more

Wall doesn't have a lot of options and I wanted a decent burger. It has 4 stars and I'm hoping for the best. After I got the burger I noticed no lettuce and tomato. Found out you have to ask for it. They were generous with the fries. Good service friendly staff and the place seems clean. I don't expect too much and it was really good. read more

Not worth it. You may think "oh, wall drug closes at 7 so we will eat here!" Don't do it. The wait was 30-45m for our food. One of our meals was prepared incorrectly. Or appitizer never was delivered. Our missing appitizer was left on our bill. The food was average. I'm not saying there is a better restaurant out there, but just don't go to this one. read more

Food was a solid OK and the service struggled between neglect and downright rude. Food: Ordered the Rancher Burger which had great bacon and a thick hand pressed patty. The bun was forgettable and the sauce nonexistent. Service: Waited a solid 20 minutes before anyone came to get our drink order. Waitress came to our table a total of 4 times in 1 hour and 15 minutes. Once to drop the menu, once to drop drinks and take orders, once to drop the check. Had to laugh when the couple next to us waived down the waitress and she yelled across the room that their ticket was next. Didn't bother to ask them what they wanted, probably thirsty like us after buying a $3 small single cup of soda which appears to be the visit limit. Severely disappointed we stopped to eat here instead of just continuing into Rapid City. This was 2PM so not exactly busy. read more

They have very rude employees. I went here for a takeout dinner and they said the kitchen was closed at 4pm.

Waited 10 minutes for a server, then waited for a salty beef commercial with fake potatoes and jar gravy. Then after finishing this "food" we waited 20-30 minutes for someone to get us our bill. I will say that the waitress was nice enough. She was the good part of eating here. read more

Across from the biggest tourist trap I have ever seen - we had a blast at Wall Drug, but when you go there...... Eat here. Great burger with a nice bar. Then head back to the BadLands. Clean and reasonable - nice people. read more

The best part: the fries were edible. I had the whiskey steak tips which were supposed to be medium cooked but came out super rare. There was about 6oz of beef and it probably would have been okay had it been more cooked. I never send food back but I had a good long pause considering whether to send them back or not. Decided to chance it because it wasn't worth the anxiety attack to tell the waitress I didn't want bright red mushy beef. For some reason, the kitchen decided to stick a leaf of romaine lettuce underneath the steak tips and french fries. It had wilted and turned to green mush before I even managed to get started on the french fries. Gross. The service was fine, but the food was overpriced and my husband said his bacon cheeseburger was edible, but he would not eat it again. Take your chances if you like, but I couldn't wait to get out of there. There was also a strange "dusty" sort of smell in the whole place. read more

We had a delicious dinner here two days in a row after a day spent hiking the Badlands. I think it is important to have reasonable expectations and to order appropriately for where you are. My husband and I ordered burgers and they were excellent. My kids were very happy with their kids menu options. It was clean, good service, and laid back (which we wanted). I would go back again. read more

I have been traveling for 5 days. I am from a small town called Los Angeles, California. I thought I was going to starve or eat the most flavorless food on my trip. I have traveled from CA, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, North Dakota and now South Dakota on this trip. I am telling you now. This is the BEST food in South Dakota if not the entire Northern Mid-West. Amazing service to top it off. Skip all other Restaurants and treat yourself. read more

We stopped in Wall for the night after our trip to Badlands National Park. We got into town around 8pm on a Monday night and picked Badlands for dinner and drinks. I think it used to be called Badlands Saloon and Grille but now I feel like they're rebranding as Badlands Bar (it's a little misleading on yelp). I'll get to the point now and offer some more details below - our experience here was way better than expected for a stop in a small town driven by tourism (read: Wall Drug is mostly a tourist trap). It's clear they put some thought into the new concept - it's got a modern but rustic cabin feel with a repurposed wood and stone interior, exposed filament bulb chandeliers, and a few really nice flatscreen tvs tuned to various sports games. Their beer selection is pretty big - at least 30 different bottled beers behind a well-lit glass door cooler and an additional eight localish craft beers on tap. They even have their own restaurant branded glass pints with a local hotel logo displayed as well (I'm guessing they partner with them to offer discounted drinks for staying at that hotel - great idea). The service was prompt and friendly and the music selection was in the not-gonna-offend-anyone-but -more-interesting-than-Kenny Chesney-or-Miley Cyrus realm, and at a reasonable volume. The food was actually what surprised me the most. The ribeye was out of this world incredible- seasoned perfectly, great marbling, expertly cooked and huge. Anyone that thinks you shouldn't order the expensive ribeye at a non-specialty steakhouse is seriously mistaken in the Great Plains. We're in prime beef country for Christ Sake! I always order the steaks at any restaurant/bar when I'm up here and I have yet to be disappointed. My boyfriend's chicken fried steak was crispy, flavorful, tender and also huge, and the mashed potatoes were honestly kind of weird because they were so creamy but also strangely good. We each had two beers and satisfying, enormous dinners (with plenty leftover) for $60 total. It wasn't super busy and it's the off season so I know that there are issues that can arise with a full house in peak season but I was more than pleasantly surprised by this place and I definitely plan on coming back if I'm ever in the area. I know there are some really negative reviews but you should really give this place a chance. I travel and work in the service industry for a living and I totally ate my cynical pre-judging words by the time we left. read more

Decent burger joint. They have other menu items but I didn't want to get too fancy. Everything was pretty good. Strong Russian work force and their English wasn't great. Good service tho. read more

Good food and service. This is a better alternative than the Wall Store where everybody heads to.

Awful food, awful service. You want $11.00 truffle fries order them and you get French fries covered in Italian dressing with three sprinkles of Parmesan. Also... try a house marg... for $12 you get nasty margarita mix with awful well tequila... bottoms up people. read more

I reviewed the ratings for this restaurant on Yelp and was not all that excited to try it. Well...let me say , we were more than surprised! We ordered a large supreme pizza so we could get the thin crust and had a few beers with it. The pizza was excellent, service superb, and atmosphere comfortable and welcoming! We are just passing through on a road trip, but had a great experience here. Highly recommend! read more

Way to expensive paid $10 for a gas station pizza. Everything is $5 more than it should be. They're feeding off the rich locals and tourists stupid enough to stop. Don't waste their slow service and crap expensive food. read more

Badlands Bar - a pizza on a plate with a fork and knife - Pizza Near Me - Wall, South Dakota

We came in after the kitchen closed after a long day in the Badlands, very hungry. There is no food in Wall after 10:00 p.m. Danny at the bar was great. He was sorry that the kitchen was closed, and confirmed that there was no restaurant open in Wall at that time. Then he checked and the pizza oven was still on, so he offered to cook us a pizza. It was delicious, as was the local beer he recommended. It was a Saturday night and the bar was hopping. Great place, great service, great people giving the service. Don't miss it if you are in Wall. And say hi to Danny for me. read more

Those place has a far superior burger to those offered across the street at Wall Drug. They're a half pound, and cooked to order rather than made in a kitchen assembly line. I suggest the Rancher, medium, swap for cheddar cheese. It comes with giant bacon, and mine was cooked perfectly. The dining area is clean, and there are charging outlets at the tables. Friendly service, too. read more

Badlands Bar - Honest high quality food with friendly service. Prices were fair and just a good experience. - Pizza Near Me - Wall, South Dakota

I almost didn't come in due to low ratings. It's not the best place I've ever been, but it ought to get better ratings! We had outstanding service (Josie was our server) even though the hostess at the front was less than helpful and we were told to "grab a couple of menus and find a table in the back". The food was REALLY good! I had the Rancher burger and hubs had the bacon burger. Both were cooked perfectly. Also, great fries and a huge portion. Neither of us could finish our meals. Very reasonable prices. Would absolutely recommend and go back. read more

Love the food here...pizzas were awesome, one of the amazing crust I have ever had!!everybody were very polite and nice, greeted warmly and great service!will def. recommend if one is visiting badlands...thank you Bryant! read more

Fries were a little over cooked, steak was tough at medium rare. Service was good though.

We stopped here for dinner midweek after traveling all day. There aren't a ton of options in Wall, so we decided to check this place out. The first thing we noticed was how bright and clean it was! They had a great selection of regional beers on tap, and our waitress was friendly and attentive. We got the cheese curds and fried pickles - both were fantastic! Also on the table was the chicken fried chicken, chicken fried steak, sirloin, and buffalo burger. Everything was delicious and cooked perfectly. The mashed potatoes appeared real (!) and the baby bakers (roasted potatoes) were done perfectly. Our entrees came with a spring mix salad that was perfect after days of "road trip food." The portions were huge and we agreed that next time we could split an entree and have plenty. This place exceeded my expectations! read more

Bit pricey but to be expected in tourist trap like Wall. Drink cups were quite small but free refills. Our server kept them full and took good care of us. Food was pretty good - of our table the blue cheese burger was the best. The cowboy chicken slop at a KFC bowl was a miss tho- corn was obviously canned and the country gravy was bland. read more

Take home. This is still Badlands Saloon and Grille and ratings are more accurately reflected on that yelp page. Service: while slow, was very friendly which, almost always makes up for that. Facility: clean and new looking Food: just average bar food that can be found anywhere. Prices are high but that may be due to tourism. See below if you have an attention span (I know I don't). Went looking for badlands bar because of the good reviews. Don't be confused, it is still Badlands Saloon and Grille. The same establishment, with average reviews and without even a name change (at least not on the outside). After walking around for a couple minutes and realizing our gps was continually directing us to Badlands Saloon and Grille, we looked through the window and saw a big sign about half way back in the restaurant saying Badlands Bar. Initial impressions were good. Clean and new looking. We sat at the bar and didn't have our drink orders taken for at least 10 minutes. Another customer leaned over and commented to us that service was very slow. No kidding!! When the bar tender finally came over she was very nice, but clearly running in several directions. No biggie. She got our drinks and took our orders. I went with a burger, as they were out of what I wanted, and I try not to order $25+ steaks at non-steakhouses (it just doesn't end well). My wife ordered the caprese pizza. After about 45 minutes the food finally arrived. My burger was clearly a patty and not freshly made. If you're going to charge more than $10 for a burger, at least make it fresh. Otherwise it was ok. Unfortunately, as burgers go, once you enter the patty world you pretty much doom yourself to an average, at best, burger. My wife's pizza was ok. Thin crust was soft (nice way of saying soggy) so she had to eat it with a fork. Mozzarella was in squares and looked like it came off a big, processed block. She also said it wasn't hot when it came out. Ultimately, we got full, which I guess is the point. My bone with this establishment is that it is portraying itself as "hot and new". It is not. read more

Was worried due to some negative posts but food was fabulous, service was very friendly and fast! Husband said best steak that he's had in quite a while! I had steak tips with a great sauce. The house Ranch dressing is the best either of us have ever tasted. Highly recommend. read more

Way better than the reviews suggest. We are in the middle of nowhere. This is more than decent and the service is super friendly.
