One of my favorite restaurants in South Dakota! I travel to the Pierre/Fort Pierre area fairly…read moreoften and Drifters is one place I never skip when I'm in town. The location is hard to beat, sitting right along the Missouri River. I've eaten both inside and outside and had a great experience either way. The patio is wonderful on a nice day, but the huge windows inside still give you a beautiful view of the river if you'd rather be indoors. I've been here several times and genuinely haven't ordered anything I didn't like. There's always something new to try, seems like they try to change up the menu/refresh the options oftThey also have a great drink selection, and I've had a lot of fun splitting some of their fishbowl drinks with friends on past visits. Another thing I love about the location is the trail running right along the river, which connects to hotels nearby and makes Drifters an easy walk if you're staying in the area. ALSO every time I come they have a few new menu items, I appreciate how there's always something new to try. The service is always wonderful in my experience, very friendly and helpful staff! Will continue to come back!

If you're feeling an inside vibe you can enjoy the nice low key inside option. The menu offers a nice selection of America cuisine, including a kids menu. The service was excellent! Everything came out quickly and as ordered (even with the busy holiday crowd). If you enjoy Bloody Mary's, you must try the Bloody Mary bar....excellent!!

Real bacon (not that thin sliced, flimsy, tasteless bacon you find on typical fast food burgers) on their bacon cheeseburgers. Crispy tator tots. It's not gourmet food, but it's perfect for a hungry family on a long car trip. And did I mention the staff? They're super friendly and helpful people. Our server was spot on with recommendations, our food came out fast, and she came by our table frequently to check on us and refill drinks. We struck up a conversation with the owner / manager and he offered great insight on how to make our trip better. If you appreciate Mom and Pop diners and you enjoy down home cooking, you'll like Hutch's Café.

The roast beef is fantastic and so is the ham and cheese, and I heard the cheeseburger is good too. I also had the beef soup with my meal and it was delicious and very hot.

Unexpected Road Trip Gem! Stopped here on a cross-country…read moredrive from Salt Lake City to New York -- kind of in the middle of nowhere, but totally worth the stop. I ordered the FBI steak and WOW... better than some fancy steakhouses I've been to. Cooked perfectly and full of flavor. Service was super friendly and polite, which made the experience even better. They also have a solid selection of drinks and a good variety of beer on tap -- definitely didn't expect that out here! Tried walleye for the first time too -- really tasty! Just a heads-up: the seasoning on everything is pretty mild, so you might want to add a little salt, pepper, or ranch depending on your taste. If you're driving through, don't miss this place!

Good food. Fast service. Easy in and out. Not much to compare to in the neighboring area so enjoy.read more

Buffalo Bar & Restaurant…read more Murdo, S.D. 08/01/2026 Dear Buffalo Bar & Restaurant Team, I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for the wonderful experience I had during my recent visit to your establishment. If Northlake, Illinois, wasn't over 800 miles away, I would gladly be there every chance I had for the exceptional food and warm atmosphere. Upon arriving at 8 PM, I was warmly greeted by Christy, who quickly seated wife and i with a big smile. The service was just as impressive as the food - from the delightful bar drinks that were promptly served at our table to the impressive build-your-own salad bar and delicious soups. Your team truly made an effort to ensure that our dining experience was flawless, and it did not go unnoticed. Overall, Buffalo Restaurant is a treasure in Murdo, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for great food and a welcoming environment. Keep up the fantastic work, and I look forward to my next visit, even if it's a bit of a trek! Enjoy your meal, Sincerely, Gary Williams Northlake, Illinois

The Bridge Restaurant in the Hotel has great steaks, and salmon dishes. We were told mix review. but a couple of folks from a cattle company stayed in the park, said it's food.

Then close to I-90 @ exit 264 see "DIGNITY of earth &Sky" 50foot Indian maiden. At the visitor center. I would visit again.
