The self-serve beers and wine are charged by the ounce, which is different. But, it allows you to try them all for a little investment and then you get what you like. We weren't hungry so we didn't order food. We enjoyed the beautiful weather and sat outside by the creek. Very enjoyable! We decided to return a couple days later and get the pizza. It was Sunday night so it wasn't crowded at all. The two staff members were great to chat with and hear about their lives, friends and how they ended up in South Dakota. It was a great conversation, and I wish those ladies the best. Oh, the pizza.... Very light crust (artisan) and excellent choices. We got 3 different ones and all were very tasty. This is certainly a spot to visit if you're in the area!

After a long 4 year wait, the Hair Cow Box Elder is open and it was worth the wait…read more The inside is spacious, lots of tables and they have a bar. Wait staff is quick and attentive. As of today (Feb 2026) they don't have their full menu up and running yet but they have most things. They have about 6 of their own beers on tap and 4-5 from other local breweries. They also have a limited liquor selection. I got the Hazy Raider - great choice if you love a hazy IPA. Got the traditional wings - buffalo and the cheese curds. The homemade ranch was great and the cheese curds are amazing. They have a light breading, not thick and heavy, with a perfect crunch. The wings are the best I've had in rapid city. Great size and good quality. Definitely will be back.

Our waiter promptly dropped off menus, but after my wife was undecided on what to order, he left and we didn't see him again for 15 minutes. He was a nice guy, but the staffing level was inadequate for the light traffic. When it came time to order our meals, we were informed that they didn't have their regular carrot or French onion soups, as well as two entrees. As we ordered, he informed us of a 3rd entree that was unavailable. After we ordered, his manager returned to inform us that two of the entrees we had ordered weren't available! I (sulkily) ordered the salmon and a house salad. Now, the house salad is a big bowl of iceberg lettuce with a few radishes, cherry tomatoes and onions. My wife didn't even bother to taste it, and I only ate a third of it. Our entrees were well prepared and nicely presented, but our waiter wasn't able to find his way back to refresh our drinks. After an elongated, two-hour dinner, I was left thoroughly unimpressed. There is something going on here, and my guess is that they are struggling to find staff, pay their suppliers, and maintain quality. I certainly didn't share the experience of other recent reviewers. My suggestion is that you wait for a handful of positive reviews before visiting.

To set this up, we love TexMex and BBQ foods. We have sampled the best BBQ in Memphis, KC and all of Texas and appreciate great TexMex and BBQ. Central Texas has, in my opinion, the best of both. However, yesterday, we 3 senior couples met at JR's Rhodehouse for the first time to try their BBQ. Being 6 adults, we chose to order "The 1/2 Gout" from the menu, a platter of Brisket, Pork, Turkey, Links, & Ribs plus 2 pints of sides of your choosing, a perfect assortment of the menu items. Wow! Bottom line: It was as good as any BBQ we have ever tasted. I saw the brisket as it came from the smoker - perfectly cooked, very juicy and tender - one of the best ever... The rest of the meats were excellent also. We have found a SD BBQ joint that compares equally well with the best of Memphis, KC and TX - and local to the Rapid City area. We met JR, the owner and his wife - friendly and proud of their accomplishments in the BBQ business. The staff was very friendly, the beer selection was good and cold, and the prices were very fair. All that said, we will be a regular customer and when the BBQ craving pops up, we will gather friends and neighbors and head to JR's Rhodehouse for another great meal. I encourage you to do the same. Thanks, JR and crew for bring the best of Texas BBQ to South Dakota!
