We had a great lunch at Killian's Food & Drink while visiting Spearfish, and it ended up being one of our favorite meals of the trip. My wife ordered the curry noodles with chicken, and I had the rum cured trout. Both dishes were excellent. The curry had great flavor without being overwhelming, and the trout was outstanding. It was one of the best fish dishes I've had in quite a while. As always, we arrived with a challenging list of dietary restrictions. My wife has gluten and dairy allergies, while I manage Alpha Gal syndrome, a tree nut allergy, and diabetes. Our server, Jessica, was knowledgeable about food sensitivities, took the time to answer our questions, and made sure we were comfortable with our meal choices. That attention to detail was very much appreciated. The atmosphere is casual, relaxed, and welcoming. Families with children would feel right at home here, but it also works well for couples or groups of friends. I probably wouldn't choose it for an important business dinner, but for a casual meal with great food, it's an excellent choice. Highly recommended if you're in the Spearfish area. We'd definitely return. read more

I was not surprised to see this place as the #1 restaurant in Spearfish, when I logged on to Yelp to review. It was delicious and unique, and kind of seemed out of place for the location. I don't mean that in a bad way. I ordered their Bratwurst dinner. It came on a bed of bacon-mashed potatoes (a great combo, always), and what they called, "sweet & sour" fried cabbage. Delicious! My father ordered Calimari, and that too was unique with added fried onion straws. Mom was boring and had salad and a fruit cup lol. Our server was great, and it was really nice inside. We dined early, and when we were done it was packed for dinner. read more

We're visiting Spearfish with friends and decided to try Killian's on hotel staff recommendation. First night went for dinner. It was a great experience from the time we were seated by hostess to end of our meal. Lot of variety and food was excellent. Went back the next day for lunch. Equally pleased. Jack and Jessica both provided great service. read more

I was there on a Sunday night at the end of July just before close. There were a few other patrons. Some waitstaff was closing out their receipts at the bar. Everyone was friendly , some great beers on tap. Thankfully the kitchen was open and had a delicious burger. Downtown was otherwise pretty quiet. Outdoor seating, too read more

Food was mixed-- hubby had a delicious mushroom burger with fresh produce but it was more medium well than the medium he ordered. Fries were hand cut, but not piping hot. My beet salad was a big disappointment. "Picked beets" tasted bland like from a can. Bacon was sparse and flabby, while greens were fresh but not cold or crunchy. Creamy dill dressing had almost no flavor and I don't think the dill was fresh. Wine and beer selections were solid and the vibe is cute, although a bit dark inside. We had the absolute sweetest server who made the stop. read more

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

Their corned beef and cabbage on St. Patrick's Day was the worst ever. I threw it up when I got home. We'll never go there again.

Loved the diverse menu!! Had a shiitake swiss teriyaki burger with wasabi aioli- it was cooked to perfection/very juicy and full of flavor. The seasoned hand cut fries were very good, but would have been even better with some malt vinegar . Despite being quite busy, the food came out quickly. Would have rated a 5 if our server would have come to check on us after bringing the food (I needed a napkin). read more

Always a treat with an eclectic delicious menu. Personally, the sweet potato chips are often burnt, choose the regular fries. Wish they would not to sweet potato fries instead of the chips! Try all the different burgers, including the lamb! read more

We had a great time here. Madison was our server and she was so bubbly, quick, and knowledgeable. She had fantastic recommendations and even brought out different aiolis with fries for us to try since it was our first time. The food was delicious. I was so shocked (as a vegetarian) to see veggie and vegan options on the menu! I got the black bean Gouda Jalapeño burger with sweet potato chips (I wish I got the fries instead). My sister got the Brussels sprouts and poutine, she thought both were good! My mom got the beet salad and bison chilli. The chilli was amazing and the beet salad had an amazing homemade balsamic vinaigrette!!! Everything was so tasty!!! We had the Japanese garden cocktail, the French cherry Moscow mule, and a berry mojito. The drinks were amazing and the red cab did the job! Overall great food, drinks, and service! 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

Food was great and waitstaff was very friendly. Good vibes and atmosphere. Ate there on a weeknight and didn't have to wait 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

Stopped here while in spearfish for the night. The cheese curds were really good. Some kind of seasoning on them was really great flavor. The brown ale mussels had really good flavor but seemed a little over cooked. The ahi club sandwich was a good size steak we substituted sourdough bread instead of rye. Very good but a little hard to keep assembled. Service was great. They had indoor and outdoor seating available and a good selection of beers on tap. Much better food and drink options than most bar menus. read more

Great menu with lots of variety. Food was perfect and the servers were spot on. Ate lunch there and so glad we did.

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

Our waiter Ash was very nice. Great local vibe. I had the bison chili which was very good and a kale caesar salad. Husband had the bison cheese burger and a local craft beer. Reasonably priced. 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

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

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

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
