Definitely go check them out!

Second-best bison burger in Hot Springs... but much faster delivery! OK so that's not a truly fair…read morestatement. They do have THE #1 best bison-elk burger in Hot Springs. (But if you're looking for only bison, don't have any kids with you and willing to wait a hot minute, check out my review for Buffalo Dreamer.) If you do have kids with you, are willing to work your way around the crazy construction, or just want to try the coolest tap room around in addition to a bite to eat, the Mercantile & Taproom is your place! Firstly, I went there for the kombucha. It did not disappoint! Ask for the kombucha flight... it was incredible! Second, we each had the bison-elk burger and the cranberry stuff on it was... Oh. My. Word. I can't say what my tastebuds were doing to the food in my mouth and keep this review PG. The gluten-free bison/elk burger could have featured a GF bun, but I just wasn't feeling the extra bread so I got it without. The cheese sauce on top was just oh-so creamy delightful. And while broccoli salad may sound weird, it was actually freaking delish! The only issue I had with the burger was since I didn't get a bun to soak up all the juices, they disintegrated the paper lining in the basket. Pretty sure I ate a little extra fiber. Hubs got a non-alcoholic Margherita (although they can make it fully loaded if you wish), the bison-elk burger with all its gluteny-bun goodness, and the soup of the day, which he said was easily hands-down the best soup he's every had in a restaurant. (That's high praise considering the potato soup experience we had in Knoxville!) If you're in Hot Springs, passing through, or just want somewhere awesome to eat dinner, go here. Go early, as other reviewers have noted they may run out of ingredients. That tends to happen when a restaurant makes everything from fresh ingredients.

They gave you this really cool wristband and all you have to do is tap it to whatever beer you wanna try and then you can pour as much as you want! They have upstairs and downstairs seating, board games, shuffleboard, darts, and TVs spread throughout if you want to catch the game. It's a great place to hang out! The pizza was sooo good! It's Detroit style with a crispy buttery crust. We got the Sizzlin' Sweet Pie which had pineapple, ricotta, bacon, and jalapeños. Delicious! Don't sleep on the fries though! Those things were cooked to perfection, crispy but fluffy on the inside and though they don't look like they are seasoned, they are seasoned perfectly! It was like magic - I don't know how they did it. I could not get enough of them!

Paying just for the amount of ounces poured instead of a whole glass was right up my alley. I was able to sample, beer, cider, and wine all in the same night without feeling like I overindulged. This was by far my favorite experience in rapid city. On top of the selection of beer the food was amazing. We tried one of the pizzas ( prosciutto, arugula and fig)and the flavor profiles were amazing.'perfect compliment to the wine I had poured.

When I walked in, I was a little confused if I had walked in to a candy store or deli, they sell some other products. Someone quickly gave me a menu and welcomed me and cleared that right up, I would get some signage inside so I know this is the restaurant I had been looking for, and maybe consolidate some of the displays. The steak fries were great, homemade and fresh, as was all the food we ate. All in all this place has the feeling of someone's first restaurant, which is really a cool thing to see succeed and get a good product for a good value.

They constantly check in on you, and provide a very positive environment, 10/10 service. The interior is fun, they have plenty of seating indoors and outdoors, there are random climbing decor, trinkets, paintings, and it's just a fun atmosphere. We ordered the fish and chips, fried green beans, pub sandwich with smashed potatoes and bread pudding. The fish was perfectly battered, it was crispy, light and the sauce they served with it was perfect. We absolutely loved the fried green beans, they were crispy and tasted amazing with their housemade garlic parmesan and spicy ukranian sauce. The spicy ukranian is a slightly tangy and creamy sauce. The pub sandwich had a good crunch from the citrus slaw, good tang from the pepperoncini and the bread was so soft. They also have 1990 rootbeer and it is amazing. The real star of the show was the bread pudding. I have never really been a fan of bread pudding but this one is a must. It is warm, soft, and just the perfect texture. The top is sugary with a little crunch and topped with whipped cream. They don't put nuts or raisins. I absolutely loved it. Definitely will be back for the amazing service, rootbeer, fried green beans and of course the bread pudding!

His reason was "that picture was from a previous restaurant and he wished they still made cabbage slaw". They have brussel sprout slaw. Truthfully the pork was dry, the sides were good. I just feel like either way the sandwich should have been originally rang up with slaw and pickles regardless the type of slaw and all of it would have been avoided. And having an employee quick to have an attitude instead of listening to understand and resolve the issue is piss poor on managements part.
