    Portobello burger
    Christy K.

    There was a nice, cool outdoor space to eat with your dogs. The serving staff was very kind and accommodating. The food was your basic café fare.

    Custer Wolf delivered one of the better, healthier meals we've had in our travels across Wyoming and South Dakota. Unlike so many restaurants we've encountered, they don't rely solely on spiciness for flavor, and they do fish well. The bar also knows beer, and the servers are super friendly.

    Ribeye & Smashed Potatoes
    Rich H.

    The food was good, but service was "meh". We got the beef bulgogi and a ribeye with smashed potatoes. The salad never came out, so they deducted $4 off the bill. Waiter stopped by once to check on us and we said the salad hadn't come out and he said he'd get one right out.... next thing we knew the bill was dropped. If the service were better, I'd give it 5 stars - the food was VERY tasty.

    Wolf Burger and was super tasty. Fries were boring.
    Jeremy B.

    I tried the Wolf Burger and it was actually super delicious. The fries were just "okay". The staff was nice but we did notice a theme throughout our meal. The service was very, very slow. It took quite a while to get our food and just as long to get refills on our drinks. We actually had to flag them down and beg for refills. Also, we were there with kids and the place is basically a bar that happens to serve food. So honestly not the best environment.

    A bar with not your typical bar food. Located in the heart of downtown custard, this eatery offers indoor, outdoor and bar seating. Exceptionally laid-back, and clearly a favorite of many locals, we were very happy to be seated at the bar and get to know the bartender who made us feel very welcome. The decor is very simple and the focus is on the people and the food. Full bar with many NA options. We were so pleased to find a fish dish that was not breaded, the walleye was exceptional. Wonderful side salads and I was able to enjoy a mixed vegetables with shrimp that allowed me to stick to my diet. The bread pudding was very tempting, but we stuck to our guns! Good value, good food, good people. Check out the customer wolf next time you're in the area.

    My husband enjoying his Walleye and his Lost Cabin Beer

    We were on a road trip to Sioux Falls SD, and we stayed in Custer, SD for 3 days. On our first day that we arrived friends recommended The Custer Wolf for dinner. We arrived around 5:45 and the restaurant was busy. We had a choice of sitting inside or sitting in the patio outside. We love patio dining so we chose to sit outside. My husband wanted to try a local draft beer, Jason our waiter suggested he try Lost Cabin Beer in a can. It is a local beer that tastes like a good draft beer. He ordered it and liked it! Almost Every time we went out he would order the Lost Cabin Beer. For dinner we ordered the Walleye, it came with a green garlic sauce on top of the walleye with jasmine rice and broccoli. This was one of my favorite meals, the fish was cooked perfectly. We enjoyed our meal, and the patio is not fancy but we enjoyed sitting outside. We highly recommend The Custer Wolf! When you visit this restaurant and you sit in the patio, ask for Jason is a wonderful waiter! He is friendly, has a great sense of humor and is attentive. It was a joy having him as our waiter.

    It a nice place, a lot of outdoor seating. The service was great and we had the fish and ribeye..... very good. Definitely recommend, and see why locals recommended it. The homage bread pudding is the beat!

    This is going to be a split review. First the good...service gets a 5. These folks HUSTLE! They were so pleasant and even though they were busy kept smiling. Nice job. The food was also a 5. It was terrific. The walleye was flaky and rhe sauce, superb. The green bean appetizer was scrumptious with a sauce that had a nice kick. Now for the less tgan stellar part. The restaurant itself is cute, it has indoor and outdoor seating. We chose indoor but had to contend with such fly distractions that it took away from the experience. Otherwise it would gave been a 5 all around.

    Walleye po boy

    A hodge podge of seating arrangements. A bar type area, a middle regular cafe feel and a patio with a variety of furniture seating. Jason was helpful and very friendly, the service here is top notch. My husband had an issue with a salad where he couldn't substitute a dressing they took his salad back no questions asked. I had a walleye po boy not too greasy and flavorful. Recommend it for sure .

    The food was good but the serving was huge, which is good if you're planning on having leftovers later. Also, it was little pricey.

    Popular place with a wide variety of choices for dinner--friendly and attentive service (if you…read moredon't see your server, ask another--they clearly work well as a team) and interesting decor. Starter and food, drinks, etc., are brought promptly to the table. This is exceptional in a highly popular tourist area. The food is good but could use a little improvement--the grilled mahi-mahi was good, but a little on the dry sauce and definitely needed a sauce. A couple of the dishes did have sauces, but fish is why most Creole restaurants like Brennan's will serve a sauce on the side, or a topping with butter such as Trout Almandine. It doesn't have to be a fancy sauce--the option of good ol' tartar sauce works. The grilled vegetables also needed a little more butter and seasoning. Carrots are good on their own; broccoli and cauliflower need a little cheese or butter and some seasoning to be loved. The IPA (Long John) was excellent. The beer cheese dip and soft pretzels were to die for; the chardonnay was passable. A great choice for dining in a VERY heavily traveled tourist destination. Get there early--it starts filling up fast and all the restaurants around Mount Rushmore close at 9.

    Stopped to enjoy a drink and appetizer at what appeared to be a cool brewery concept. We decided to…read moresit indoors since it was a rather warm day. Mistake! They have their doors wide open and it was nearly as hot indoors. And the flies were annoying. I enjoyed the Long Tom IPA but not enough to order another. Apps were pretty limited, so we opted for a pretzel with beer cheese. The cheese was great, pretzel was large but it was also dry and not very enjoyable. When I first walked in I looked at their merch and was very disappointed with their hats. Plenty of shirts and a very cool metal sign of their logo. Service was fine. We intended to eat dinner at one of their restaurants but after reviewing the menu and reviews, decided to head somewhere else as this place was a bit of a disappointment. And didn't want to further amplify the experience.

    This location was less than a mile from the hotel we were staying at right in Custer…read more When they first sit you down, they bring over some chips and salsa's hot and sweet. Those kept on getting refilled as needed. My steak burrito was delicious, a little messy to eat with my hands, so I ate it with a knife and fork. My brother asked for a chicken quesadilla which was not on the menu and they happily made it for him. My sister in laws taco were delicious too. The food was great, the drinks were really good. Service was on point too. I'll definitely be back here again next time I'm in Custer.

    Baffled by the fantastic reviews. Have these people never tasted delicious Mexican food? I've…read moreeaten a LOT since childhood and this isn't it. You have to have your standards (rice and beans) on lock. Tasteless rice, beans that tasted too greasy (I suspect bacon). And the salsa was underwhelming. They gave us some roasted stuff that barely had flavor and not the green kind I saw in some other reviews. I got the pork green chile and it had a TON of flavor, but was slightly too salty. Eaten with the beans and rice, it kind of balanced out, but I didn't like the smoky flavor of the beans. My partner's steak tacos were DELICIOUS, I will say. The best bite I had, and the pico de gallo on top was a delight. I wish I'd been given that to dip chips in. It was still a shame that these wonderful tacos were accompanied by the same beans and rice that mine had. Portions were not generous for the price. The ambiance was decent. The bar looked cool. The prickly pear marg on special was good, but in a tall pint beer glass instead of a margarita glass. A little too sweet for my taste. My boyfriend got a Mexican-style beer and it was good enough, nothing to write home about. Service was okay. I would have liked to have been provided both kinds of salsa or at least offered the option of another kind. He didn't refill the chips and salsa, and we had to ask for more salsa. I did like that they provided Crayola brand crayons for kids! Most places cheap out there. We had a great time decorating the burro coloring sheet. Bottom line: If you want great Mexican food, pass on this place. If you want to drink mezcal, DEFINITELY stop here.
