Great food, great music, great vibe. We loved this place. Gluten free and healthy options available alongside some terrific gastropub options like the sushi nachos. And the service was terrific! Best restaurant on this cross country trip so far. We'll be back tomorrow for more! read more

Grabbed lunch with a large group of people and everyone was happy. They have a very diverse menu with interesting touches on the dishes. We had two small kids and had to wait for part of the group, and the staff was great. read more

Killian's absolutely blew me away. I went Saturday, September 30th and had the steak medallions with brandy yams and a salad with blue cheese dressing. My friend ordered frog legs as an appetizer and salmon for the main course. The frog legs were covered in a sauce so I couldn't really taste the frog meat at all, but oh my goodness my steak was absolutely incredible. It was SO tender and tasted so, so good that it made my friend regret ordering his salmon. He said his salmon wasn't amazing, but it wasn't bad. The blue cheese salad dressing is really runny and not super flavorful, but I don't go to restaurants for the salad dressing so it didn't really affect my opinion of the restaurant. Service was EXCELLENT. Everything was so incredible that we came back Friday, November 17. Once again we had excellent service. We had calamari as an appetizer and it wasn't rubbery or over seasoned, which is refreshing. My friend had the duck, which he enjoyed. I had the corned beef. It was tasty and a HUGE portion. (It's hard to compete with the steak medallions though.) Overall, Killian's is a risk free choice-an excellent establishment with plenty of delicious vegan and gluten free options and super polite servers. I'll be coming back for sure! read more

See all

I loved the food and the atmosphere. The staff were super friendly and service was quick. We got the sashimi nachos and black bean burger with fries. The nachos were amazing! There was so much food we had to take the burger and fries home to eat as a second meal later. Will definitely eat here again when I'm back in Spearfish. read more

Traveling through and stopped here for dinner. Had a chicken sandwich and my husband had a burger. Food was great, service excellent and the margaritas were some of the best. Husband had a local beer that was good. Nice variety on the menu. Highly recommend. read more

The food was amazing and the service was so fast. The waitress was so nice! Great place to eat! Highly recommend!

Such a great find after visiting Tatanka!We went out of our way to stop in a second time on our way back to Rapid City after seeing Devil's Tower! Everything we tried was awesome- burgers, Ahi tuna sandwich, sashimi nachos, French dip brisket....YUM! read more

COuld not find fault with either the food, the decor, or the service. Obviously would have loved the location to have been on Main St. but I'm not going to ding a star for that, we had the Asian lettuce wrap to start and a gouda/jalapeno and bluecheese/pepperdew burger as main...this, however, is the kind of place where you need to promise yourself to have a different meal every time otherwise you'll miss what looks like an incredible selection on the menu...drove 50 miles for this, will do so again! read more

A great place to eat lunch. The service was good, fast and friendly. I had the Cobb salad which was a large serving. We tried the sweet potato chips and enjoyed them. I look forward to dinner at Killians in the future. read more

Took a stab at this place and despite the building looking less than promising, this was a great find. Wife had the grilled vegetables and thought them outstanding and I had the chicken fried steak poutine. World apart dishes but both outstanding and very tasty. Extensive menu choices and a wonderful selection of beers and cocktails. Want adventurous food? Best in Spearfish.... read more

Get the steak tips! App or meal. And the large filet is outstanding! Fast and friendly staff, dozen of craft beers on tap, and a full menu of steaks, burgers, sandwiches, and more! Great local place and very happy we got the recommendation after staying in town. read more

Last year we had a birthday part for my mom in their private room. Mother's Day had a great breakfast buffet. Most of the breakfast buffets I've been to consist of rubber eggs and half cooked bacon. Not here! Everything was fresh and warm. No powdered eggs but, Made to order omlets. It was so good. The lunch is terrific, too. Chicken can be substituted for any burger. They have the largest gluten free menu for 50 miles! Sometimes gluten free means, "lacking taste" but I go with my sister and we will share her gluten free meal! The service has always been fast and friendly. We have already reserved their private room for my mom's birthday party for this year! read more

Excellent burgers, the meat was fresh & simple, the topping combinations are creative and delicious. Service is great and atmosphere is fun and inviting. read more

Great food nice staff, great price for the quality of food, I would suggest the steak tips, and the ribeye all followed with a good porter and you will not be disappointed read more

First time in town and we ordered the Sashimi Nachos and Crab Stuffed Mushrooms. We were not disappointed. We had read reviews prior to coming to Killian's and we were not disappointed. Service was great Great atmosphere and bathroom was more then clean. read more

Ate here with my family, we had a couple of different burgers, the brisket dip, the lango roll, and the chicken fried poutine... it was all fantastic. The poutine was particularly amazing, I highly recommend it. read more

Excellent food and atmosphere. The brisket was very good. My wife loved the Erin's special (off the secret menu)! Will come back in a future visit! read more

We loved this restaurant! The atmosphere was great. The food was great! We had the Cowboy Classic (son said it was the best burger he has had), the Ahi Sandwich, and the Chicken Jerusalem, which were both awesome. Definitely a place to stop at driving though! Side note: huge local beers on tap menu! Loved it! read more

Don't let the outside appearance dissuade you. A casual place with great food, both as to options and taste. We had a wonderful oserver who made our night enjoyable. The sashimi nachos were an amazing suprise. Our table enjoyed the halibut, pork chop, Thai noodles and Mac n Cheese. All outstanding dishes. They allow you to bring your own wine for a modest corking fee that rounded out a great evening! Thanks read more

Great burgers, great beer, great service. Are there every Friday after work while living in the area and was always pleased. Definite must for good food in Spearfish. read more

What a great find in spearfish! We were trying to find a place for lunch and found this gem on yelp. Obviously gets bonus points for the owner being a big cyclist (decor around the place). The menu is something you'd find in a huge city and not the small town of spearfish! Tons of options and both traditional and unique options. We both had the black bean burger which was top 10 one we've ever had. Definitely worth a stop in the area. read more

OMG this was so good!!! Cowboy burger sans bacon with sweet potato chips. My mouth is happy and my belly is about to pop!! Great choice in beers (I had the Father-in-lager, excellent!). Husband had the Bully burger - everything but the kitchen sink including jalepeno aioli! He ate it all! This is roll-on-the-floor, unbutton-your-pants good food! read more

Nice surprise waiting at this pup. The food is excellent - we had crab stuffed mushrooms, frog legs, sirloin tips & sweet potato chips. The cocktails were ok - nothing special - no Jack Daniels served at this bar but a nice selection of bourbon. read more

I don't understand why servers aren't trained properly, even the "experienced" servers. 1.) If the is an up-charge on an item, then the server should inform the customer at the time of ordering, not upon the customer noticing the charge upon presentation of the bill. 2.) Also, when hair is noticed in food, it has been my experience that the order is not charged to the customer, but not here. 3.) It seems that they are following a trend of a "service charge" of 3.9% for customers to pay by creditcard, which was apparently posted in the restaurant. I think that they should raise their prices to include this rate. This was my last visit to Killian's (over a few dollars and attitude) even though the food is delicious! read more

Stopped here last Wednesday night just before 5 pm based on other's reviews as we passed through. The food and our server were good (young man, cannot remember his name), hence the 4-stars. We ordered the brisket dip and the chicken fried steak. The sweet potato chips were delicious! Took a star off because it was like high school mean girl gossip hour behind the partition wall by the kitchen (if just rating on this, I would have given 1 star). Not exaggerating, even people who worked there but were not on shift came in just to gossip; we even heard the bartender asking them why they were there if they were not working. Note to the young women servers that I doubt will read this: that partition wall has openings on either side and your conversations were very unprofessional and carry through the restaurant, especially when not that many people are there yet. read more

One of the best restaurants in the hills. Great menu, excellent beer selection, and awesome atmosphere!!

Burgers (the Wilson has an awesome twist with the peanut butter) and sandwiches (brisket french dip was unique and wonderful) were great. Fried stuff (fries and cheese curds) was off and the fryer needed an oil change. Staff was friendly but kitchen was touch slow. Overall i would recommend as our sandwiches were terrific. read more

Delicious food, great service, great prices! It is difficult to find food this tasty for so cheap back home in Montana. There were so many amazing options on the menu it was hard to pick! Plus 16 local beers on tap! read more

Great place. Fun for groups. Be sure ask about champagne tasting. And try the calamari.

I'm from San Francisco and felt very at home here. Great burgers and good beer selection. This is a must stop!

Do not be fooled by the facade... Or the interior for that matter. Back when I was a kid, this place was a great steakhouse! After being closed, changing hands and names, it's re-opened again as Killian's. It's obviously a bikers hang out... Mountain bikes that is.... As I walked through the doors, I was seemingly sent back in time. The place has not changed with the exception of old bikes hanging from the ceiling. The booths, fireplace, barn wood walls and rock bar and quite possibly the very warm carpet, were there when it was Bell's steakhouse... Decades ago!!! So, let's get to the important stuff, the service, the food, and drinks!! Our waitress was great and since we brought our kiddo, she did great making sure he was content by bringing him crackers and pointed out the crayons on the table for him. I ordered the petite filet and white truffle mashed taters, my hubby ordered the Cajun bacon chislic (I breaded steak tips) with a side of hand cut fries. I don't think he and I said a word to each other til our plates were cleaned! My filet was super tender and full of flavor! Mashed taters were yummy! The steak tips were unlike any we'd ever had which, when you are in the hills, steak tips are everywhere, everyone says theirs are "world famous"... News flash! Killian's SHOULD be, because they were unique, tender, the flavor was off the charts! If you like craft beer, they have a great selection of local and not-so-local choices! They also have a nice wine and mixed drink selection as well. This place is a bit of a hidden gem! The chef has some amazing flavor profiles that rival anything you find in a big city! Give this place a try! I know I'll be back! read more

For the most part Killians is great. The menu is great and there are some surprising items. I gave it four stars instead of five because sometimes the food is inconsistent. There have been times when I have ordered the same dish and it was way different from the previous time. read more

Very promising. Had blue cheese burger which was good.. Pickled peppers on it were interesting. $1 cans of hamms.. Too fun.. Hamms is the new Pabst! Decor is appalling 1971 diner meets chotsky's meets bikeshop..bizzare but go anyway. read more

Killians has great food and a great beer selection on tap. Sitting at the bar is fun for drinks and some appetizers. It has a laid-back pub feel that's cozy and casual. Definitely one of my top choice restaurants for a good meal in Spearfish. The bangers and mash are great, and you can't go wrong with any of their burgers. read more

Stopped here with the family for lunch after hiking Devil's Bathtub. They had a nice beer selection that included a few local brews. We started with seared tuna and Sriracha nachos for an app. For our main meal my wife and I spilt a Cobb salad and pesto burger (our waitress's recommendation). Our kids had chicken fingers and French fries. Everyone walked away happy with their meal. One of the better ones we had on our SD trip. read more

Stopped because of yep reviews while camping in spearfish. We were not disappointed. This place is great. The menu is fantastic and we had difficulty figuring out what to order because there are so many great choices. If we lived here we would go again and again, and again. read more

After driving around all day in Black Hills, we were starving and Yelp led us to this place. The service was fast and friendly and the food was tasty. I had the Caesar salad and my companion had the salmon. Both dishes were great. We also ordered the cheesecake, which was a bit dry and that's why I'm taking one star off. read more

Awesome food service and overall great restaurant. Beer and wine only. Strongly recommend the smothered chicken and filet mignon!

Let me start with the good: Our waitress (Dani) was prompt, friendly, informed and attentive without being overbearing. They have a great selection of beer on tap (17) so there should be something for everyone. The atmosphere is casual and is good for just about anybody that would want to visit. The potato and bacon soup was good. Now, the not so good and the reason for the two stars: The food. Either my wife and I showed up on an extremely off night, or this place is completely overrated on Yelp. It was a Tuesday and about 6pm, so we had the place pretty much to ourselves. My wife ordered The Dip which, according to the menu, was their version of the French Dip. The meat was incredibly fatty, sliced thick (even thought the menu indicates thin) and just had a really weird flavor. I ordered their "surf and turf" which was a sirloin and salmon. I wasn't expecting anything amazing...after all, it was sirloin and salmon. However, what I wasn't expecting was the overcooked travesty that arrived on my plate. The sirloin actually tasted good, but I ordered medium rare and it was closer to well done than anything. I think they cooked that salmon 10 minutes longer than they cooked the steak....I can't recall the last time I had a piece of fish that was that dry...and I eat a lot of smoked fish. And lastly...why no Killian's on tap!?!?!? We are only here in Spearfish for a few nights as we do some touristy things in the area, but I cannot recommend this restaurant to anybody....unless all the want is some beer and some interaction with friendly waitstaff. read more

I gave it two stars because the fries are great, otherwise I would avoid this place. The service is timed well and friendly, but the food sucks. Sorry, I wanted to like it, but it was not good. Really wish we had gone somewhere else for dinner. read more
