    Visted this establishment for a last minute dinner and it smelled amazing outside. We didn't get a greeting of any sort nor a smile. We looked up at the screen you see once through the front door and immediately heard, "That's not the menu! It's for catering."*long pause* "The menu is up here." We took that to mean towards the back of the restaurant where she was standing and made our way towards her. She made a gesture towards the menus on the counter and then just stood there looking at me. We immediately felt unwelcome and when asking questions about getting the meat on the side of the mac n cheese, she made us feel even more unwelcome and gave short clipped answers. Honestly, she looked annoyed that we were even there. Not once did we get a smile or any indication that our business was wanted. We quickly ordered and left and my older daughter quickly commented on the lack of friendliness and I agreed. I am very disappointed with the service we "received" as I have tried their brisket sandwich from the food truck and the gentleman there was friendly and informative. My 10 year old was unimpressed with the mac n cheese and said she'll stick to the Kraft in a box. I tried the pulled pork mac n cheese and found the PULLED PORK IS DELICIOUS, TENDER AND FLAVORFUL The mac n cheese, not so much. Probably won't try again but would recommend the food truck for a quick bite!

    Brisket Sandwich

    The service was great and they were quick to recommend different menu items, especially based on what meat was top notch for the day. The amazing brisket and pulled pork definitely backed up their recommendations!! Again, the workers were super friendly and made it a great experience!

    Seriously #1 bbq spot in Rapid city! Food was delicious, wide selection of sides and sauces. We wanted to try everything: ribs, pulled pork, pork belly... and everything was so yummy. They make everything from scratch. Portions were just right. Restaurant is very clean and has a lot of seating. Very nice service!

    OMG this place is underated and phenomenal. Every sauce creative and delicious. Bacon brussel sprouts are to die for. I've enjoy every meat I've tried.! And local beer to add to the enjoyment. So thankful for this rapid city gem

    Smoked baked potato with Brisket added

    Sadly mediocre bbq. Not a lot of flavor on the meat, really needed the sauce to add any sort of .... Anything. Sorry. It hard to beat JRs Roadhouse.

    The good news? They are open longer hours than many of their downtown Rapid City peers. The bad…read morenews? The food is pretty mediocre and they are understaffed. We arrived around 7:30. (Hey, Yelp! This part of SD is in MST, not Central!!!) The hostess said we could site outside by the fireplace but that there was only one waitress for that area. Sadly, the other restaurants in the area were either full or closed on that Wednesday, so we took our chances. Service was slow. The waitress was very nice but overwhelmed. They have a kids menu, which is nice. They have a decent beer list. Lots of local options. I had an okay sour beer from the Sturgis area. The kids loved being able to have frozen mocktails. I tried their reuben. They claimed it's Rapid City's best, but if that's it's best, don't order a reuben in Rapid City. It wasn't awful, but it wasn't great. Just bland. Not enough sauerkraut. The thousand island dressing (served on the side by default) was pretty good but salty. I had a side of broccoli, which I thought was a nice option, but it was bitter and undercooked. My husband had the pork schnitzel meal, which he thought was okay. He liked being able to order mashed potatoes as an option. Thankfully, we sat by the TV, and there was a dog show going on. Seeing all those exotic purebred dogs kept my family distracted while we waited for the food.

In fact, we ended up here by accident since the place we originally wanted to check out was apparently closed on Mondays. When the "Cheeseballs" came, more like large cheese dice, and I had my first bite, well, let my pictures say all that's needed. It was TERRIFIC. I don't know what they're doing to the batter, but it was lovely, and the cheese? I have no idea what kind it was, but it was amazing. In fact, because the cheese cubes were so good, I even got a smash burger. The bun was a potato bun, very much appreciated, and the meat had the perfect Maillard Reaction, crispy, wonderfulness. I just HOPE that they can keep the quality level HIGH, as Rapid City restaurants seem to go out of business pretty fast. If you're the owner reading this, please, please, please keep the quality high. If you're a customer, it might help if you go in middle of the afternoon. We were the only customers there, so I think we got the cream of the crop experience. When they're slammed, maybe it is a different story.

    Needed food. Wanted quick and simple. Nothing heavy. It's how a friend and I ended up here…read more Just off the main drag of the downtown area, parking is free and a lot easier to find. I don't know what it's like when it's busy because on the day we arrived, the entire area was a ghost town. Not even sleepy - no cars on the road and this cafe was even still opening. Walk in, order and find a seat. Not a lot of seating but there's both indoors and out. We chose to sit indoors as it was a little warm and I didn't want to be out under the sun. See pics of the food. Wanted salad. I tend to always want salad. Went with the Springfield. Crisp and fresh - really enjoyed the toppings and dressing. Harmony. That's how I'd describe this salad. I'd definitely have it again. Grabbed the Hot Springs. Wanted a cold sandwich. Wanted an Italian. Closest I could find and the vinaigrette was even on the side so I could add as much or as little as I wanted. I remember enjoying this sandwich so much I considered grabbing a second for the road. However, we're traveling and gotta try other foods and places. This would be one place I'd go back to if or when I find myself back in Rapid City. This cafe is connected to the brewery (Hay Camp Brewing). In fact, that's where the restrooms are if you need it.
