Well done little bar with great service and great atmosphere. Highly recommend as a stop in Custer!!

Oldest saloon in Black Hills. The decorations are amazing and fit the lifestyle. Our bartender is full of information and so sweet. You can order food from next door and they bring it over. Did I tell you they have a German Shepherd named Hero.

The bar

Absolutely amazing atmosphere and great bar food! The service is top notch and the manager came out to make sure each table was pleased!!

Our favorite watering hole in Custer!! Ellie and the gang were fantastic, friendly and fun. We couldn't have found a better spot to hang out in during our visit. Do yourself a favor and stop by for a great experience.

I am so glad we stopped here! It is a locals bar, but it is the oldest saloon in the black hills! Bartenders were nice and the atmosphere was great!

Locals!

This place was amazing. It's located in downtown, there's plenty of parking and the staff are so…read moresweet. They constantly check in on you, and provide a very positive environment, 10/10 service. The interior is fun, they have plenty of seating indoors and outdoors, there are random climbing decor, trinkets, paintings, and it's just a fun atmosphere. We ordered the fish and chips, fried green beans, pub sandwich with smashed potatoes and bread pudding. The fish was perfectly battered, it was crispy, light and the sauce they served with it was perfect. We absolutely loved the fried green beans, they were crispy and tasted amazing with their housemade garlic parmesan and spicy ukranian sauce. The spicy ukranian is a slightly tangy and creamy sauce. The pub sandwich had a good crunch from the citrus slaw, good tang from the pepperoncini and the bread was so soft. They also have 1990 rootbeer and it is amazing. The real star of the show was the bread pudding. I have never really been a fan of bread pudding but this one is a must. It is warm, soft, and just the perfect texture. The top is sugary with a little crunch and topped with whipped cream. They don't put nuts or raisins. I absolutely loved it. Definitely will be back for the amazing service, rootbeer, fried green beans and of course the bread pudding!

We had a stop over in Custer so needed to find someplace that wasn't a chain…read more Seen this place on the corner and it looked nice so we gave it a try. Glad we did Our hostess wasn't as friendly as I'd have liked but everyone has an off day. Our server was attentive and kept us feeling important. Food. The ribeye was tender and flavorful. There was a fair amount of fat but ribeye does. The chili is very good and pairs well with the red potato smashers. The Cuban was also a good choice. My wife loved it as did my son who had to finish it for her. Portions are on point with the price. No complaints. We sat outdoors and other than the flys which no real way to stop them it was a nice setting. This stop was on a long distance family vacation and was on our highlights.

Popular place with a wide variety of choices for dinner--friendly and attentive service (if you…read moredon't see your server, ask another--they clearly work well as a team) and interesting decor. Starter and food, drinks, etc., are brought promptly to the table. This is exceptional in a highly popular tourist area. The food is good but could use a little improvement--the grilled mahi-mahi was good, but a little on the dry sauce and definitely needed a sauce. A couple of the dishes did have sauces, but fish is why most Creole restaurants like Brennan's will serve a sauce on the side, or a topping with butter such as Trout Almandine. It doesn't have to be a fancy sauce--the option of good ol' tartar sauce works. The grilled vegetables also needed a little more butter and seasoning. Carrots are good on their own; broccoli and cauliflower need a little cheese or butter and some seasoning to be loved. The IPA (Long John) was excellent. The beer cheese dip and soft pretzels were to die for; the chardonnay was passable. A great choice for dining in a VERY heavily traveled tourist destination. Get there early--it starts filling up fast and all the restaurants around Mount Rushmore close at 9.

Stopped to enjoy a drink and appetizer at what appeared to be a cool brewery concept. We decided to…read moresit indoors since it was a rather warm day. Mistake! They have their doors wide open and it was nearly as hot indoors. And the flies were annoying. I enjoyed the Long Tom IPA but not enough to order another. Apps were pretty limited, so we opted for a pretzel with beer cheese. The cheese was great, pretzel was large but it was also dry and not very enjoyable. When I first walked in I looked at their merch and was very disappointed with their hats. Plenty of shirts and a very cool metal sign of their logo. Service was fine. We intended to eat dinner at one of their restaurants but after reviewing the menu and reviews, decided to head somewhere else as this place was a bit of a disappointment. And didn't want to further amplify the experience.

This location was less than a mile from the hotel we were staying at right in Custer…read more When they first sit you down, they bring over some chips and salsa's hot and sweet. Those kept on getting refilled as needed. My steak burrito was delicious, a little messy to eat with my hands, so I ate it with a knife and fork. My brother asked for a chicken quesadilla which was not on the menu and they happily made it for him. My sister in laws taco were delicious too. The food was great, the drinks were really good. Service was on point too. I'll definitely be back here again next time I'm in Custer.

Baffled by the fantastic reviews. Have these people never tasted delicious Mexican food? I've…read moreeaten a LOT since childhood and this isn't it. You have to have your standards (rice and beans) on lock. Tasteless rice, beans that tasted too greasy (I suspect bacon). And the salsa was underwhelming. They gave us some roasted stuff that barely had flavor and not the green kind I saw in some other reviews. I got the pork green chile and it had a TON of flavor, but was slightly too salty. Eaten with the beans and rice, it kind of balanced out, but I didn't like the smoky flavor of the beans. My partner's steak tacos were DELICIOUS, I will say. The best bite I had, and the pico de gallo on top was a delight. I wish I'd been given that to dip chips in. It was still a shame that these wonderful tacos were accompanied by the same beans and rice that mine had. Portions were not generous for the price. The ambiance was decent. The bar looked cool. The prickly pear marg on special was good, but in a tall pint beer glass instead of a margarita glass. A little too sweet for my taste. My boyfriend got a Mexican-style beer and it was good enough, nothing to write home about. Service was okay. I would have liked to have been provided both kinds of salsa or at least offered the option of another kind. He didn't refill the chips and salsa, and we had to ask for more salsa. I did like that they provided Crayola brand crayons for kids! Most places cheap out there. We had a great time decorating the burro coloring sheet. Bottom line: If you want great Mexican food, pass on this place. If you want to drink mezcal, DEFINITELY stop here.
