    Great decor

    Ambiance, staff, and atmosphere were all incredible. Food took an incredibly long time. There's a disclaimer on the menu that burgers are ground fresh, in-house and can take time. This would be perfectly fine if the food quality was great but the burger that was served was on par with a frozen McDonald's or Burger King patty. The Mac and cheese egg rolls were delicious and came out quickly. Can't recommend the entrees but I'd potentially return just for appetizers when passing through SD.

    The atmosphere was great. But the service was slow. Drinks and dinner was over 2 hours. Granted, there was 8 of us. But, the food took a long time. The firehouse Mac and cheese is not spicy at all. Even my husband who can not eat hot agreed with me. It was decent Mac and cheese. But not what I wanted. My husband got the steak bites. They ran out of mashed potatoes, so they gave him fried instead. He didn't care for it. But I liked the flavor of the steak. I also had a Mango Tango to drink. It was VERY sweet. For the most part, everyone at our table liked their food. (The steaks were HUGE), But we wete not happy with how long it took.

    Plenty of beer taps !

    In Mitchell, SD. Stopped for lunch before going exploring. OMG.....had the BEST Pastrami sandwich here. Piled high on a toasted rye with fries. Very flavorful. Portions are large enough to share. Think we got enough fries to feed an army !!. Decor is fabulous inside....good music, fun atmosphere with a lot of fun things to look at. Can't remember the Bartender's name... shame, he was fun to chat with. Good food.... Great staff.... And yes, we would stop again when passing through Mitchell, SD. AND.... It's right across the street from The Famous Corn Palace.... but that's another review.

    The mac and cheese

    Came down for lunch and they have a new menu. It was by far the best lunch I had in a long time here in mitchell. I ordered the Taphouse slider. The slider isn't a small bite size. The bully sauce is sweet and tangy. I also had the Alfredo Mac and cheese. Had chicken thigh in the Mac and cheese. It was creamy This is a must go for a cool relaxing place to get unique comfort food

    This is a cool spot. I was visiting the corn palace and wanted to find somewhere nearby to have a quick bite to eat. I am so glad I found The Back 40 Taphouse. I got a Jerk Chicken sandwich... one of the best sandwiches I've had. The spicy from the jalapeño balanced by the sweet from the pineapple.... so good!

    Hefe Metal, not bad

    So they have a fairly good selection of beer for the area. And we came back multiple times on our visit. And we stop in at least once every time we are in town. I have to give them big props, ordered the strip med rare and it came out perfect! I would give them 5 stars if it wasn't for a rude server who got shitty with the other server in front of us and other guests. I get it, everyone is under staffed but she bite this poor girl's head off over a party of 8 coming in and she "had 2 other tables she hadn't got to yet." Our server (other girl) apologized over and over for what we heard. But other than that one incident we have always had a great time and will continue to stop in every time we are in town.

    SO GOOD $11 steak frites before 5pm- 8oz steak. Cooked to perfection. Friendly service Great atmosphere EXCELLENT steak and EXCELLENT fries. All local food (within 150 miles) $2.50 iced tea I enjoyed every bite of my meal!

    Bloody Mary

    Stopped in here with my brother and our spouses for lunch while we were visiting and we were not disappointed. The decor is charming with vinyl records on the walls, rope lights throughout the room, and games a plenty. The menu is a wide range of American foods and they have a great selection of beer and cocktails. Their Bloody Mary had a delightful umami flavor and smokiness. We ordered the bacon covered mushrooms for appetizer and they were so good we wanted to order more. My husband said the PB&J burger was delicious and my wedge salad was refreshing. Our waitress was delightful and engaging. A great little spot. I hope to return next time we're in town.

    That's a cheeseburger served to my girlfriend from the back 4O. It's not med rare or the latter, it's raw in the middle. Just ghastly.

    See all
