Everything about killian's is amazing. I've never had anything here that was even slightly disappointing.

The staff is very helpful, kind, and knowledgeable! We had the brussel sprouts for a starter, and they were good. There was definitely more bacon than brussels sprouts. The Cobb salad with grilled chicken was SO good. The chicken was cooked perfectly, and the veggies were fresh. The salad dressings (ranch and vinaigrette are made in house), and I recommend. read more

It has been my experience to avoid bar/restaurants. This one was no exception. Arrived and was told to take a table. Sat over 8 minutes and finally had to go to the bar to get service. Ordered quickly after that but waited a bit (extra) for the food. Food was good as far. Never eat late is my new motto read more

Overall? I've been coming to this place since it first opened, and it's been great to watch it grow into a Spearfish staple. The atmosphere blends a rugged, mountain lodge feel with a modern American eatery vibe that's cozy, inviting, and just eclectic enough to keep things interesting. The menu follows suit, offering a mix of classic American comfort food with creative twists. The food is consistently well prepared and flavorful, and the service has always been top notch The drink selection is another strong point, with a great mix of craft beers, cocktails, and non alcoholic options. The kids' menu is well thought out, making it an easy spot for families. There's plenty of indoor seating, plus a great outdoor patio when the weather allows Parking? Parking is easy, with a lot right in front and additional space in an upper lot What to try? After trying most of the menu, the burgers stand out with their variety and quality. The steak tips are always solid, and the ribeye is a reliable go to. Definitely a spot worth visiting more than once read more

With a very unique and wide spread flavor profile you will find something to love. I saw Gluten free options, vegetarian options and many other allergy friendly things. The service was very good. They had plenty of servers and the did great with check in and asking if we needed anything. We did the sirloin bites appetizer or small plate, the Avocado Pico burger and Chicken fried poutine. The fries are home made and so good. It's a cute little restaurant on the edge of town with outdoor seating if you want and a nice cool interior which wasn't too loud. read more

Driving on our way back from Devil's Tower back to Custer, SD, we decided to stop here for dinner. We came around 8pm on a Sunday and was seated immediately. We ordered two sour beers on tap and loved them (Shiner Lemonade Shandy from Spoetzl Brewery and Strawberry Whip from Sawyer Brewing Co). $7 for a 16oz was a steal. We ordered a cup of the bison chili, gouda jalepeno bison burger, and bison short ribs. All the food was amazing, especially the bison chili which had a great depth of flavor - Highly recommend! Service was quick - we were in and out in 1 hour and the waitress was nice and attentive. read more

Food is very good! As is the service. We had the filet and sirloin with sides of black bean bison chili, mashed potatoes, mushrooms and onions and broccolini. Hit the spot! My iron levels are back up! read more

I like dark beers and they had two on tap. I couldn't decide which stout I wanted and they gave me samples of each so I could decide. I ended up with the nitro stout and a club salad for lunch. The parking lot was almost full when I came a little after 1 o'clock. Appears to be a popular place. I would come back here again. read more

Such a versatile menu. We had the Bison ribs with truffle mashed potatoes and the Mediterranean lamb chops with yummy broccoli and cheese. We definitely made the clean plate award. For our appetizer we tried the sashimi tuna nachos. They were also so good. They were spicy and crisp. So good! The staff were helpful, friendly and efficient. read more

We had a company event Sat Jan 3. Our server was exceptional. Sorry I didn't get her name. The food was excellent and everyone was impressed with the quality and deliciousness. read more

My husband and I stopped in to eat after some hiking in spearfish canyon. The atmosphere is very casual, they have indoor and outdoor seating. They have a small bar area and restaurant area. We started with the cheese curds. I really enjoyed them but for $12 just wish there was a little more on the plate. My husband really enjoyed his brisket dip. I got the Erock burger. I enjoyed the flavor but unfortunately they cooked the burger alittle too long, it was very dry. Disappointed. The homemade fries were a nice touch. Our waitress was really friendly and did a great job with service! read more

The burgers were actually very good. The buns they use were soft and didn't break apart with good flavor. We'd patty and fix'ins were good as well. The kids (waitress') were really useless and couldn't give a crap. The menu looked good so we'd come back but sit at the bar. read more

Stopped in Spearfish as we were on a road trip. Killian's had great ratings so we wanted to try it. We arrived during the start of the Sturgis Bike rally so thought it would be busy. We were seated pretty quick. The waitress was a very nice person and was easy to see that she enjoyed what she does. My wife and I both ordered the Cowboy Classic burger. I have to say that we both thought it was thew best burger we had ever had. The place is set for fun and a very comfortable place to enjoy dinner. The food, staff and the place was all we could ask for. We both highly recommend Killian's. You won't be sorry. read more

Spectacular! Got the eggplant dip per our waitress's recommendation and it was phenomenal. Then had the lamp chops which were perfectly tender and had the most amazing cherry reduction that paired beautifully with it. You would not look at this place on the inside and think that you could get fine steakhouse quality food but we did. read more

Salads, steak & chicken sandwich were solid after long day on the road. The first 3 reviews I read spoke highly about the steak which my husband praised. He had the special with 3 shrimp with blue cheese that he said was superb. Service was polite & efficient. Ambiance was cool with the stone, live edge tables and old mountain bikes. read more

Fantastic place for lunch. I had the Cowboy burger and my wife had the tomato basil soup. We split the chocolate torte for dessert. Our server Sidnee was very nice and professional. Highly recommend giving them a try if in Spearfish, SD. read more

First visit to Killian's was great! There are so many good food choices for any kind of diet or no diet at all! The service was very friendly. It's kind of a noisy place, but a couple of parties going on, so don't know if that's normal or not... But everybody was having a lot of fun. We will definitely be back and recommend to everybody. read more

Headed to Rapid City from Devils Tower and stumbled on this place. Family friendly and very inviting. The outside doesn't reflect the inside. The Steakhouse Mushroom Burger was great. Huge and I loved that it was bigger than the bun. Fries were ok but not my favorite. I like crispy and they were a bit limp. My husband had the Gouda Jalapeno burger. Lots of jalapenos and he likes a bigger bun, but it was still great. He has a side salad for a slight upcharge. Definitely check it out if you are in the area. read more

Seen this place highly rated on Yelp and rightfully so. There were six of us on vacation and stopped in one night. We all had various things off the menu and everyone really enjoyed the food. Unfortunately, I forgot our waitresses name, but she did just a fabulous job taking care of us. She was very friendly and a lot of fun. Overall, a very enjoyable dinner. Highly recommended! read more

What went well? Every. Thing. Best bison burger we've ever had! Ricki was the most attentive, not overly attentive, server. It was busy, service was fast. If I lived here, this would be my go-to place. Located in Spearfish, if you're in or around Rapid City, this is a must stop. read more

Excellent!! Just go! Service very nice. I had the Lamb Chop, cooked right, seasoned wonderfully, and the chutney great pairing. My wife had the special beef and bacon Bolognese with gnocchi - fabulous. She loved it. It was like it was made just for her. My daughter had the garlic sirloin with Cajun blue cheese and shrimp, cooked just as she asked (medium rare), very enjoyable. Again, just go! read more

We were looking for a place to eat at kinda late in Spearfish one of only a few that were still open. We were very sceptical, We had a 35 or 40 min wait for seating .... OH MAN I'd wait an hour for a burger like that again.. best burger I've had in a very very long time defiantly recommend. (The Wilson) creamy peanut butter and spicy tomatoe sauce it was amazing, fries were a little too salty for my liking. But burger made up for that. wait staff was very very attentive to all the tables dispite them being extremely busy. Very pleasant experience, even with them being extremely busy was not so loud we couldn't talk amongst the people at our table of 5. read more

I had the mussels and they were the BEST I have ever had. The service was amazing Hallie was wonderful. Would highly recommend

Food was average Service was slow and snooty, we had to ask for drink refills more than once; for the cost that was ridiculous. Atmosphere was terrible, incredibly loud music on a Sunday night. Would not recommend unless you are 20 and like the snooty b who asked why I had the nerve to want to use the restroom read more

This place gets an extra star just for having a different menu than a majority of the restaurants in the area. Calamari- fantastic, come with fried pickle peppers that just melt in your mouth. The Wilson- hubs said skip, the tomato jam has no tomato flavor, it's tomato pulp flavored with warm baking spices and the peanut butter does nothing for the bite, burger was well done- never asked how he would like it Poutine fries- so good Kale and Beets- vegetables and eggs were cooked well had pretty big chunks of garlic and the broccoli side was snoozeville, they were out of the caulini which I had asked for, too bad they didn't cook the broccoli like they described they cook the caulini. Service is eh. Infrequent table visits, need to get servers attention read more

I'm not going to lieI'm gonna tell you right now they've got a really good bartender at this place, his name is Phil I don't know if he realizes it yet but he's got a great career ahead of him I had to order a vodka Collins and enjoy the atmosphere dude knew his way around conversation professional like and on top of that kept it friendly kept it honest and the drink was well worth what I paid for it... environments perfectly casual I can see where this place has got legs! hats off I had a great experience great conversation and if the rest of the staff is like Phil? You guys are gonna be opening franchises all over the world! Nice job team! read more

Great food, waitress was awesome and very attentive. Location was good, just an all-around good place.

Killian's? More like Killin me man's! Sorry, that was bad. But the food is not. The food is Earth shatteringly good. Brisket is perhaps my favorite food. Then you come at me with the audacity to ask me to dip it? How dare you sir!? I mean...I'll try it but I most certainly will not like it!... Hold up.... Is the mix of bread, brisket, and Swiss cheese meant to be dipped in delicious Au Jus? I would have both audibly scoffed and laughed at your foolishness a mere 3 days ago. But Killian's has changed me from the inside out. And not the kind of change you make on New Year's Eve about how 2037 is the year you finally kick that nasty acorn collecting habit. I'm talking true life changing adjustments that can only come via shoving food in your mouth. The brisket was Smokey and tender. The bread was light and fluffy. The Swiss cheese was Swiss in nature. The Au Jus was the glue...but like amazing edible glue... This is a classic triple moral of the story situation. 1. Food changes lives. 2. Killian's changes lives. 3. Brisket deserves to be dipped just like a professional dancer at the end of a dramatic dance scene. My wife says she re did her CPR certificate so I can eat recklessly again! read more
