    Good service, good prime rib special. Beer choices good. Neat and clean. Good to have another Southern Black Hills eatery option.

    Such good food. Recommend doing the hot springs too in the same building. Small intimate restaurant…read morewith a wonderful chef. Recommend the steak. Our server was very knowledgeable.

    I've eaten here 3 times at the time of writing this review and each time has been amazing. It helps…read morethat it's inside the hot springs spa, so combined with a hot springs soak it makes for a relaxing lunch! While it can be a little slow, especially if there's a line of people, the staff ensures everything is cooked to perfection and care is taken with top quality fresh ingredients (reflected in the taste!). I know people have complained about it being an 18+ age requirement due to the spa, and I can tell you as someone that's interrupted many times by screaming children whose parents are anything BUT attentive, interrupting an otherwise glorious meal, I'm GRATEFUL for this rule! I agree with other reviewers that it should be disclosed on their website, but people need to realize this is INSIDE a "Quiet voices required" spa environment (a simple Google search will reveal this fact) and children are typically anything but quiet... They're KIDS, and I honestly don't know why anyone would bring kids here anyway since the food is quite pricey (worth it!) and they have no children's menu. Overall this has become one of my favorite local restaurant and I aim to eat here a few more times before we leave the area for our next destination.

    Have been there 3X. Major disappointment on all 3 visits. I owned a very successful BBQ business in…read moreLong Beach CA from which I retired a few years ago, so I have a lot of BBQ and deli experience, having run 2 locations for 12yrs. SM's BBQ food is undoubtedly some of the worst I have ever had. We used professional Southern Pride smokers...they obviously use inferior equipment, as their food is overwhemingly so smoky you cannot taste the meat or seasoning. That's what often happens when you use ALL WOOD for your cooking. Admittedly there are some places which seem to be able to mitigate the excessive smokiness to a degree...our smoker used gas and just one log. No one ever complained that our food wasn't smoky enough. Had the brisket, ribs, pulled pork. As they say in baseball, 3 strikes and you're out. They even managed to screw up a BLT...3 skimpy thin slices of bacon from the menu which promised much more, and a sandwich which belongs on a kid's menu for $10. Their idea of coleslaw was cabbage mix with dressing drizzled on top. We sold coleslaw @ our place, made to order, but tossed just before service. Service favored regulars, and bar business obviously took precedence over food business. If there were more local options, this place would certainly be out of business by now. Pick any other place but here.

    We absolutely loved our meals at this restaurant. The quesadillas and street tacos were amazing-…read morecooked perfectly! The staff and owners made us feel like old friends. The 2nd time we ate here we came early at noon to get the chefs amazing ribs and brisket. You couldn't find a better place to eat in a small town! Thank you!!
