Great ambiance, very friendly staff, tons of drink selections, and amazing food full of flavor! Lots of choices on the menu with generous servings. Cobb salad was delicious, and the best meatloaf, steak, and potatoes we have ever had! Definitely add this to your list of places to stop when you are in Wall - you will not be disappointed! read more

It's beyond me how anybody can eat at Wall Drug when this place is on the next block. They make a fantastic Burger. They make several quality salads. The steak fries are terrific and the sides like Brussels sprouts are cooked perfectly. I haven't had the steaks but they serve prime beef and if the burgers are any indication, them I wouldn't hesitate to try them if that's what you're looking for. Is it perfect? No. The salads are overdressed (no surprise for South Dakota). But you won't do better around here. Wander into Wall Drug to say you did. Get a 5 cent cup of coffee if you like. Then walk over to Salty Steer for the only good meal you'll find near Badlands. read more

Ate here twice on our Badlands trip in November (Thanksgiving weekend when the town is like basically shut down)! The first night we tried the Buffalo Ravioli Bolognese & a steak with "seasonal veggies" (multi-colored-carrots). My Bolognese was good, but a little too much flavor on the meat sauce overwhelmed the ravioli. The Carrots with the steak were undercooked with no flavor. They really like Basalmic! its on the salads, veggie drizzle, coated the meatloaf - thinking in the bolognese too based on the flavor profile. 2nd day we got the buffalo meatloaf to share - my dad kept going on and on telling everyone how that's the best meatloaf he's ever had. It came with the carrots again & broccoli, plus mash potatoes. The Wedge Salad - probably the BEST I've ever had! We got it both nights! Now we are addicted to ordering them every time we have dinner together. I also tried the Huckleberry margarita (they were out of blackberries to make the Blackberries & Cream but I really wanted to try that too). It was sweet but unique. The ambience & decor was very attractive and part of what made us pick this restaurant first in our 3 night stay. It's on the corner down the road from Wall Drug. Beautiful white stone shopping strip. Had a gorgeous Holiday decor to it - Big tree in the front door and a few small ones. Brown leather chairs & hightop, Edison lighting everywhere, Cobblestone at the bar....Rustic and chic. read more

Last night in Wall and decided to try the Salty Steer even though the yelp reviews were mixed. Arrived around 6;00 pm and were seated quickly at a high to near the bar. Had to flag down a waiter to take our order. But service turned out good. The restaurant has a modern western theme which was warm and inviting. They also had a wedding going on up on the second level which was fun ands exciting. As for the food, I ordered the wedge salad with steak. The steak was chucks of steak (mo small portion) for $12.00 extra and they were cold but flavorful. The salad portion was also on the small side. My husband's side wedge salad was much larger. He ordered the Cornish hen was tasty severed with delicious mashed potatoes which were buttery and on point. read more

Although the menu selection is scarce our entrees were well prepared with a more than adequate portion size. Service was excellent even with a wedding party being held on the upper Miranda. As you can see from the pics the vibe is hopping and sophisticated which was totally unexpected at this tourist town eatery. What prevents a perfect score is the pricing/value......Expect to spend three figures+ if meat and alcohol are your forte' - enjoy. read more

Deviled eggs, Mac & cheese, steak fries, sliders,, and the Salty Heifer burger! Everything was great! My husband LOVES a good burger, and he gets angry at a BAD burger. He said the Salty Heifer was "a damn good burger" and "one of the best" and that's high praise "even though it was overcooked!" Yes... The burgers were all cooked more than we asked, so don't be afraid to order them less cooked than you like. We asked for medium, specifically saying they should be pink. There was no pink. They were all medium well. If they had been served at the requested temp... I can't even imagine... we might have bought a home in Wall tonight. We are from WAAAAAY out of town, so we were shocked to see THC cocktails on the drink menu! Never have I ever... read more

Best burger for 90 miles. Go to Wall Drug for the donuts. Eat lunch/dinner/supper here!

We stopped in for lunch and sat at the bar. We shared a burger and fries and ordered the smaller wedge salad. Everything was delicious, the bartender was attentive, offered to have our burger cut, brought our salad first and gave us an extra plate for 'sharing'. Service was great, food was excellent and everything was clean. The guys sitting next to us ordered the sliders and they said they were awesome. I will dream about that wedge salad, it was that good! read more

i just got the regular burger here for dinner with a side of fries, and the burger was pretty good (a little on the drier side if i'm being honest), but the fries were AMAZING!! i'm not used to getting diner fries and they were absolutely amazing. i haven't stopped thinking about them since this meal so i would definitely recommend you get them no matter what!! the restaurant is spacious with a lot of seating and it's not too loud that you can't have a conversation which is nice. the service is also really good! i'd recommend stopping here for a meal if you're in the area. read more

It's a spacious and nicely decorated gastropub. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. If you are not here for the beef or buffalo meat, they have some other chicken, salad, salmon, spinach ravioli options. The heifer burger was very delicious and the salmon with seasonal vegetables was also scrumptious but a tad dry (works better if they have some sauce on top of it). read more

Stopped in the Salty Steer on our way through Wall around 4pm and it was not busy at all! Service was quick and friendly. Drinks were good. We ordered a variety of food, none of us really loved. The sliders and the salad were really good, but the Lobster Mac tasted like imitation crab. Steak was super fatty but the sides were good. read more

Service was quite good on two visits. The food was acceptable. One must understand that Wall is a very small town with very little competition. Indeed, I think there are only three restaurants there and two are owned by the same person. read more

Service was very good. I had an alcoholic drink which was good. I had the bone in ribeye which had no bone. For what is charged for that steak I would have expected better. The flavor was great but it had a huge amount of fat. Also, the vegetables all had soy sauce on them because they decorated the plate with it which to me personally made the vegetables bad. The wedge salad was good. It is not a quiet place but the staff and patrons are all friendly. read more

This is probably the best place to eat in Wall. The restaurant is large, but was quite busy when we stopped in for dinner. We were seated at the bar. The staff was friendly and our order was taken quickly. We shared the bruschetta and bison meatloaf. Both were tasty, the meatloaf portion is large and we were glad we shared. read more

The SERVICE by Mario was delightful. I flew in from California to visit my guy while he's working & after a long day of travel we were worried we wouldn't find something open. This was the perfect gem. They served us later in the night and we both got steaks. Cooked perfectly. Mario was so attentive and the ambiance was great. Gotta give it to the mid west! :) read more

Please read this review in its entirety. The food is very good. The service is terrible. I was a waiter for 10 years, we have been touring the area for many weeks. The service was by far the worst we have had. Our waiter seemed disinterested, annoyed, and to be honest, downright rude. I definitely do not recommend coming here if you were waited on by a gentleman whose name starts with A. However, the food is superb. The meatloaf made with bison is excellent, and the mashed potatoes might be the best I've ever had. The prime rib sandwich is worth your time. With better waiters this place might be worth your time. For me, I regret spending $170 here just have someone be rude to me. read more

I really loved the burger here. Service was a bit slow but in the town this was a modern feel. Prices are a bit higher than you can get other places but that's because the food has original flavor. read more

I went to Salty Steer after looking at their online menu and noting that they had buffalo steaks! That's something I've never had before and it's not something commonly found in restaurants in other areas. Salty Steer definitely seemed like the best place in Wall to try out. The restaurant is inside kind of a mall/office building and occupies a portion of the first floor. It's pretty easy to find since the signs for the restaurant are plastered all around the exterior. They have a menu posted on a table right in front and when I saw it, I was really confused as it didn't match the online menu at all (they've since updated the menu). They changed a bunch of items and now only offer buffalo steak in the summer, June-Sept. I got there a couple of days late and they confirmed they were out. Oh well, we still decided to go to try some of their other items. Buffalo Meatloaf ($27) - The meatloaf comes with a wedge salad and a choice of either blue cheese or ranch dressing. In addition to the dressing, the salad is also drizzled with balsamic to add some additional sweetness and tang. The toppings are quite plentiful - there's sliced red onion, pine nuts, gorgonzola cheese, and plenty of bacon bits sprinkled around. I normally don't like gorgonzola, but there isn't too much and it's not that strong in comparison to the dressing. There are also sliced cherry tomatoes scattered around the fringes of the lettuce. Some other places drown the salad with way too much dressing, but here, the ratio is pretty good. Overall it's a well constructed wedge salad, although they don't de-core the iceberg lettuce. (4/5) The meatloaf itself is quite good. It's fluffy and soft and perfectly seasoned. They normally serve it with homemade barbecue sauce drizzled on top but I opted to get it on the side. The sauce is actually not needed given how moist and tender the meat is. The sauce itself is sweet and tangy and I wonder if they put huckleberry in it? It's quite good and perfect with the meatloaf (5/5). The meatloaf is served with mashed potatoes - salted well, fluffy, skin-on and well mashed, topped with melted cheese. For some reason The Salty Steer doesn't provide spoons so you have to eat the mash with a fork (4/5). They also give a side of veggies, included roasted brussels sprouts and carrots. The carrots are a bit disappointing - they are pretty tasteless and not sweet at all. While the texture is still a little bit firm (but cooked) it feels like they boiled the carrots, resulting in all the flavor leeching out. (3/5) Open Range Buffalo Burger ($26) - The buffalo/bison flavor is very apparent in the meat in this burger, unlike the meatloaf. It is also super lean, and even though I ordered the burgers medium, I felt like the patties were exceptionally dry. A generous heaping of cooked huckleberry, which add sweet fruity notes, helps with the moisture, but it doesn't make up for the shortfall. There is apparently supposed to be bacon jam on the burger, but I couldn't really identify it, and even if included, I'm sure it isn't added in large amounts enough to overcome the dry burger. The two patties are served on a small pile of onion straws that help accentuate the dryness. (2/5) The burger comes with a choice of steak fries or potato salad - we went with the fries and have to say that they aren't steak fries. Instead, they are pretty much identical to Lamb Weston Potato Dippers. At any rate, they are lightly seasoned, fried until they develop a light crisp on the exterior and a fluffy interior. (4/5) Spoiler alert: I had several more buffalo/bison burgers over the course of this road trip, and this was easily the worst of the bunch. Definitely avoid that dish, but I'm sure most of the rest of the menu items are pretty good. Bathrooms - Shared office bathrooms. Go through the rear door into the main building. The women's room is huge while the men's room is something like half the size of the women's room. Note: Salty Steer charges 3% for credit card purchases read more

Consider that 4 stars a 5 star rating in Wall, SD. There are so few options in town it's kinda crazy. We were here 2 nights and ended up coming back on the second night for another round.

Went here for dinner on a Friday night after exploring the Badlands. It is beside Wall Drug! The restaurant is very spacious. Our server Karol was very attentive and nice. The baby wedge salad was awesome! Crisp, fresh vegetables with very refreshing ranch and balsamic glaze. Steak pasta was good. Huge serving of pasta that was al dente with very flavorful steak cooked the way I wanted it. Prime sirloin was very tender and really delicious. The crispy honey brussel sprouts was sweet and had a very good texture that really went well with the French onion soup and the steak. South Dakota seems to be well known for its steaks/beef; Salty Steer did not disappoint! read more

Great drinks and good food. I couldn't pass up a Huckleberry Old Fashioned, excellent drink. The steaks were cooked perfectly to medium rare for myself and rare for my son. They service was quick and efficient. The inside of the restaurant was clean and modern with a rustic aesthetic, plenty of seating and room between the tables. My only complaint was with one of the sides, the creamed spinach was at least three quarters cream very little spinach at all. The flavor was great though. Looks to be a fairly new place so they probably have a few kinks to work out. I imagine once they hit their stride it will be a fantastic dining experience. Looking forward to trying it again soon. read more

This restaurant presents itself as sophisticated dining, yet what transpires rather quickly is a group of employees working under poor management and no sense of commitment to standards. If you're going to be a steak house, then be a steak house, because clearly, you're not trained to follow through on much outside that box. When a restaurant charges a substantial amount for dining, and they do here, make sure the tables are clean and free of crumbs. The restaurant was not filled to capacity by any means while our party of three dined there. When we opened our silverware, which comes wrapped in a napkin, the utensils are covered in a film of dishwasher residue. Where is management? I could not tell you. In our party, one ordered chicken to be served plain no bun, and steak fries. The chicken is over cooked, the potatoes are short, curled, about 1 inch wide and 2 inches long, one side of which the potato skin remains,..reminding one of animal nails and also not crispy and lacking flavor. Another party ordered the chicken sandwich as is on the menu and unfortunately, dry as well. I ordered two items, Caprese Bruschetta, which is described on the menu at $15.00.Toasted baguette slices topped with cherry tomatoes fresh mozzarella, basil pesto, and drizzled with balsamic dressing. Sounds straightforward and harmless, right? No. That is not what you will receive. The dish is prepared to sit on white bread that is not suited for it even though it was somewhat toasted for the base. Then the cherry tomatoes, for some reason, are placed next, which makes no sense. A layer of mozzarella covers the cherry tomatoes, followed by a dot of pesto in the center. Then they melt the cheese, which also makes no sense. Nowhere on the menu does it even suggest you will receive a melted mess. Yet they managed to make it more unappetizing because they served it to me cold. It was disgusting. I ordered a side of Brussels sprouts, charred well, but riddled with so much syrup that it was heavy and again, not well thought out. I did eat them, since the "bruschetta" was hopeless. The wait time for the above order was ridiculous, and again, not a busy restaurant, and not a manager in sight. When wait staff sees a customer has not eaten their dinner and does not make any effort to correct the experience, you should move on to a different restaurant. I was actually asked if I wanted to take my remains home. lol You may imagine they do beef well, but I suggest you read the reviews carefully on that score too. My suggestion: hire experienced management, adopt a professional attitude, and buy a cookbook on bruschetta. Skip this steer. read more

They forgot our drinks and made the dryest, most under seasoned Cornish hen (my dogs would've ate it though) and their butter toffee dessert tasted good, but it made me sick.
