The pastie was served piping hot and we got the breakfast one. It was filling and the potato inside was delicious The inside is very welcoming but you order at the register and the wait was painfully slow.

After getting some bread with melted brown butter - both were divine - I tried the Big Shrimpin with Bacon lentil soup. The soup was hearty and flavorful and the dish was complex in flavors and wonderful in textures with grits, collards and more. The service was friendly and frequent. You have a choice of dining inside or out. You won't leave hungry or disappointed and you'll be back.

This restaurant was one I found during a trip to Rapid City, SD and through YELP, so shout out to…read moreYELP. This is very much a diner style restaurant in the very best sense of the word, "DINER." The night I dined here, it was somewhat after the usual dinner rush, so the crowds were gone and the hostess led me to a corner booth near the back of the restaurant and handed me a menu. Like many diners you may have eaten at, the menu at COLONIAL HOUSE is huge. As I get older, huge menus are becoming more intimidating because they offer a large volume of selections that you have to choose from while a server is waiting (sometimes not all that patiently). That having been said, there is enough variety on the menu here that if you can't find something you'd like, you are probably a very picky eater. One surprise and also an intimidating one was the humongous portions that are delivered when your plate arrives. I knew immediately that I would not be able to finish the meal and resolved not to try and ask for a take-out box once I ate what I could finish. My dinner (what I managed to eat was excellent) and the server had no problem providing me with a take-out box. The food kept well in my hotel's room fridge and reheated well the next day for lunch. The baked products at COLONIAL HOUSE were a feast for the eyes and I ordered a piece of strawberry shortcake to take with me back to my hotel. Mouthwatering delight! If you are visiting Rapid City and want to completely SKIP over the far too numerous chain restaurants in the area and get far better food brought to you by servers who actually seem to like their jobs and the reputation of their employer, look no further than COLONIAL HOUSE. Just make sure you come with a completely empty stomach and a big appetite.

The dip was soggy and the steak was super greasy. It tasted like the oil hadn't been changed in awhile. The pot roast was the best meal! I gave it a 4 star because their pie and pumpkin torte were INCREDIBLE! They are a place known for their baked goods and it shows. Go for dessert or breakfast. The service wasn't impressive, but everyone has off days so we will let that slide. Go for the baked goods!!

There aren't many places that produce great food and coffee but this is one of them. They have a…read morebunch of different pastries, baked goods, and regular breakfast items. We ordered a sausage roll, beef pie, hashbrown, aussie breakfast and some hot lattes. The puff pastry they use for the sausage rolls and beef pies is perfect. It's light and flaky. The sausage itself was well seasoned. The beef pie is kind of similar to a sloppy joe minus the tomato flavor, it is comforting and delicious. I just love a good hashbrown and they have a good one. The aussie breakfast is a great option if you want a combo, everything tastes great, the sausage links, bacon, eggs and the sourdough. The lattes were good. We ordered the pumpkin spice and the cafe miele. I enjoyed the hot pumpkin spice latte, it has more pumpkin flavor but it's still pretty discrete. Their lattes are smooth and served at a perfect temperature. There's good seating indoors and outdoors, it's a modern yet cozy atmosphere. The staff are nice, and they will bring you your food and drinks whether you're sitting inside or outside.

Must try: Bacon Jam Avo Toast, Sausage Roll, and Cafe Miel Iced Latte!…read more Why: What a cute coffee shop that was in walking distance from our hotel. We drove by and saw a lot of people so had to try the next morning for breakfast. So glad we did because we loved the Sausage Roll and Bacon Jam Avo Toast! I also loved my Cafe Miel Iced Latte. We also shared the Aussie Breakfast, which was good, hearty, and filling. Notes: Workers were welcoming, friendly, and helpful. Clean shop with tables for small and large parties. Outside seating also available. Clean bathroom as well. This was a great way to start our morning before a long drive to Yellowstone!

Big Breakfast, Small Café, and Worth the Wait!…read more What a great little breakfast find in Rapid City! Ron's Café is one of those hidden gems that proves you don't need a fancy restaurant to enjoy a fantastic meal! It's a small, cozy, intimate spot with a welcoming, hometown atmosphere. You can tell it's a local favorite by the number of regulars coming through the door. And that's always a good sign! The breakfast was absolutely delicious, and the portions were PLENTIFUL! Come hungry because they certainly don't skimp on the food. There was a short wait, but trust me, it was well worth it. Places like this are popular for a reason! If you're looking for a great, hearty breakfast with a genuine local feel instead of another cookie-cutter chain restaurant, Ron's Café is definitely worth a stop.

The pancakes had a really nice flavor, and the French toast was yum. The over-hard egg was amazing and so well made, and the bacon was so good. I had the steak and eggs the steak was cooked and seasoned to perfection. The Froot Loops shake was delish too! The portions were huge, and honestly really nice prices for the amount of food you get. The service was super friendly, and even though the parking lot was packed, the wait was only 10 minutes. The place doesn't look big from outside, but it's actually huge, and so clean. Our waitress was so friendly and nice, and I loved that they asked if I wanted coffee to go I didn't take it, but it was such a sweet gesture. Beau even brought our food to the table himself. Super nice guy, and you can tell how much pride he takes in his business. Highly recommend! Ps...
