Very unique spot. Grab breakfast and do a little thrift shopping. Amazing and friendly service. Very good food, but the staff, 10 stars! Don't let the paper plate photos fool you, it's part of the charm. read more

Good cheap food, good service and friendly people. Not the ritz, but not big money either.

Called a turd, more than once, in front of other customers, for ordering my toast to be lightly done, for which I explained why. If it's so upsetting to do toast as I ask, then it's the last time I visit your establishment. PS ..... I'm NOT the turd............ read more

Why can't more places be like this?! Theresa and David run an amazing place. Don't be thrown by the thrift shop up front, the food will knock your socks off. We had the Mud Bog and an omelet an it was incredible. Definitely eat breakfast here at least once. read more

Fantastic food, wow, a true hole in the wall eclectic place, a blast from the past with super cool nostalgic stuff. Honestly interesting combos with excellent flavor. Eggs Benedict could've been served at any fancy restaurant, I loved the sausage gravy , just all around wonderful, worth the stop , but get there early as they close at 11! read more

Mud Hole - Fried steak with biscuit and gravy! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Rapid City, South Dakota

Our food was INCREDIBLE. It's very rare that you can walk into a restaurant and have it taste like home, but better. For the first time in a long time we got to enjoy a meal that didn't taste like it was imported from a big company. I would recommend this place to anyone visiting! read more

Great vibe and food. Low key no frills just a good solid breakfast. Prices extremely reasonable. A great value.

GREAT PLACE! Family run... Morgan was our server and she the friendliest server I've had in a LONG TIME! She was quick to suggest the best omelette than I've had in a minute. Very personal and talkative. I vote for the best places to do business with by spending my money. Take you money into the Mud Hole and vote for Morgan as well as the idea of a family business. You will not be disappointed. I had an EVERYHING omelette. Hole in the wall with a bonus of tiny thrift store I. The entry way. I love it. read more

Good place to go for breakfast and reasonable priced. No long wait time very casual setting

Gluten free eater here. This is a little hole in the wall place. I don't know much about its history but it seems it's been here a long time. It's a mix of a thrift store/reataurant. The booths and all the furniture looks as though they came from a thrift store. I liked the vibe. It's different. The menu is simple. Printed on paper and slide in a plastic cover. Minimalist. It's a very basic menu. I knew what I could trust. I got the all meat omelette and hashbrowns with no toast. The meat was salty but in a good way. The bacon was a little chewy. But overall it was a solid meal. They have hot sauces to chose from. My husband liked a habanero one. This place gives me home town rancher style hardy food. For what it was I would return. read more

Great food, great prices, and a real treat. Ate here twice while on vacation and will come back!

Mud Hole - Mud Hash Bash! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Rapid City, South Dakota

I was excited to finally eat at this place, I drive by it all of the time! My sister and I stopped in for breakfast. Maybe we should have looked into it beforehand because it wasn't what I was expecting! A thrift store on one side and restaurant on the other didn't make me feel like it was a "clean" eating environment. The seating area was some booths and a mish mash tables from the 80s and 90s, making it reminiscent of my adolescent years. After being seated we considered leaving, but didn't feel right about doing that. Our food was served on paper plates, which was quite unexpected. I ordered the corned beef and hash which was so salty I could barely eat it. My eggs were way under cooked. My sister was not impressed with her meal either. I will say all of the other guests that were there loved the place and were gushing over it. If it's your vibe then cool! read more

AWARENESS: The wife and I were on vacation in South Dakota in late June of 2022 when I had to have new tires installed on my truck in Rapid City. After the installation, we decided to find a local breakfast spot to eat at since, that's what you do when on vacation. Yelp came through again when reviews pointed us here to the Mud Hole restaurant. NARRATIVE: Let me start this review by saying, this is the most unique eatery I've ever had the pleasure of dining in. Walking up to address, I had to stop at the doors entrance and ask my wife if she thought we should knock on the door first. Why? because, Mud Hole looks like someones home from the outside and peeking through the window and opening the front door, it appeared it was a private home. Inside, the entire front and right side of the restaurant is loaded with second hand, five and dime type stuff. Old sewing machines. Old dolls, books and everything else you would find in a second hand store. To the left, there are both booth and table seats but nothing truly defining Mud Hole as a place to eat. Towards the back of the place is a doorway with menu signage all around it. And behind the window, the kitchen. When I say this place is unique, I mean it. I don't recall what the wife ordered but I ordered their single biscuit with gravy and two medium eggs. I also ordered a sweet tea. The food here is AMAZING! Home made buttermilk biscuit with farm fresh eggs, all served up on paper plates. SCENE: Mud Hole is located down town Rapid City on E Main Street at the corner of East Blvd, directly across the street from the fire station. Inside you'll find all kinds of second hand items for sale and of course, you can grab some great chow. Peeking through the ordering window into the kitchen area, I could see the kitchen is new and modern with all the bells and whistles and it was extremely clean. RECOMMENDATION(S): My review speaks for itself. This place is one of kind and a MUST TRY if your in the area. read more

Staff was excellent. Very friendly and quick. Atmosphere was ok. A little too quaint. Food was microwaved and that's not my thing. I'm glad I went there one time. One time was enough. read more

This was one of the best breakfasts in the hills! Lots of flavor! Basic, down to earth restaurant. Paper plates, no fuss. Great food with great service! Unique surroundings! We will be back! read more

A no-frills diner with excellent food, made from scratch. There is a 'treasure' section before you get to the tables which just adds to the atmosphere. I watched a steady stream of locals come in who were greeted by name. It was random that it popped up on maps but a great call. I had chicken fried steak with a biscuit on the side and it did not disappoint. read more

Fantastic.... Service was spot on, food was even better. The atmosphere was the bomb... com

Awesome service. Awesome food. Very reasonable prices. I went two days in a row. If I'd been in the area longer I would have gone every day. Don't expect ambulance. read more

Great little breakfast/lunch place. The food was great and just what we were looking for. The Biscuits were the best I have ever had! Mud Hole was clean and the woman serving was so very nice and friendly. I enjoy the various art objects on the walls. Great food and the prices were fair. read more

So, this is NOT an upscale restaurant. What it IS is real. The owners are fantastic and run the place well. Yes, the furniture is a little worn and they serve on paper plates. It is also GREAT food at great prices. The food is prepared and brought to you piping hot and there is so much food! I am a local and there are plenty of places in town but this is definitely on the top of my short list. Good work! read more

Do yourself a favor and choose the Mud Hole for breakfast. The biscuits and gravy, corn beef hash and burrito were all delicious. It's a funky little restaurant inside a thrift store. Glad we stopped. read more

What a fun little gem of a breakfast diner! The pearl sugar waffle and bacon were fantastic, and my husband said the biscuits were truly wonderful! Excellent food at very reasonable prices! Very glad we stopped at this little diner on our departure from Mt. Rushmore! read more

This is not a place you are coming to, to get a five-star dining experience. You will get paper plates for service though, which kinda fits in with its ambiance. The restaurant is more like a thrift store with some tables added too people can sit and eat. But man am I telling you, this is one of the top 5 breakfast places I have been to in terms of food in my lifetime. It is absolutely amazing! I have been three times in 10 days and never once had an issue with service. All three dishes I got were A+! It seems to be a family operation. The cook will actually deliver your food to your table if they are pretty full (which will be most of the time). Do not hesitate to try this place out. You would be hard pressed to find a better option in the RC area! read more

Food was great, I had the hash and my wife had the B&G. Overall delicious food. Everything was served on paper plates, very home cooked food feel. The service was ok, very much so a do it yourself kind of place. You get your own hot sauce and such. I will say, the water had things floating it in and I do question how clean the glasses were. If you are worried about cleanliness, I would not recommend. If you're looking for a quick, very cheap, and unique breakfast I would recommend. read more

My friends talked this place up A LOT. So, maybe our expectations were a big high. However, this place is meh. First, we walked in and it smelled like my fish tank when I smell it up close -- earthy. It is a secondhand store that also does food. Interesting concept but I think it was the reason for the smell. Not the best first impression. The food was fine. I had the eggs, corn beef and hash, biscuit combo. I can't remember what the name was. While I didn't see them take the corn beef and hash out of a can, it tasted suspiciously like canned corn beef and hash. Eggs were fine. The biscuit was unremarkable. We drove 40 minutes to Rapid City from the Mt. Rushmore area, and it really wasn't worth that drive, at all. I have to believe there are better places to eat in the area. read more

If you're into quaint, quirky, eccentric... this is the place for you. Based on google reviews wasn't exactly what we expected. The food was very good, only place I came across in all breakfast places we've been to in Rapid City that served corned beef hash. Good service, at the end you just go up to counter to pay check (none is brought to table). read more

Good, plain food...nothing fancy just darn tasty. They are only a breakfast place, so plan on getting there well before 11.

The Mud Hole was such a great experience! Its quirky vintage mix matching decor was awesome, the waitress was great and the food even better! I had biscuits with egg, potato and cheese in the center with delicious gravy poured over it all. I was with 4 family members from out of state and we all loved our meal. The prices were super inexpensive as well. I will definitely be back! This is a little Rapid City gem read more

Don't go here. These people probably have great food, but obviously don't know how to run a restaurant. There was no hostess At the front door but they had a sign that said to please wait to be seated. We waited about 20 minutes with half the tables empty, no one ever asked us how many people nothing. Only to have a waitress finally come over to us and about 3 other groups behind us and tell us it would be awhile for a table. Someone behind us asked if we could just be seated at one of the empty tables and wait. The waitress rudely said no and walked away. The waitress was clueless, one cook, was cooking, and walking out to-go orders. The other was cooking and handing out menu. Again, because the waitress are worthless here. read more
