An amazing small restaurant with the right size menu and friendly staff. We got there just before they closed and that didn't matter at all as they served us and those that came in after us. The food was delicious and refreshing. I would highly recommend going and we'll be back if we're ever in this area again. read more

Cute little restaurant with nice service and delicious food! I loved my fresh tasty Buddha Bowl (quinoa, avocado, hummus, chickpeas, cucumbers, lemon, red peppers, etc.) with a nice avocado-ranch dressing. My husband got their creamy pasta dish with steak on top, which was also lovely - how was the young lady who served us. She was charming and kind! I loved being able to get something so incredibly fresh and light for dinner. We will definitely be back! read more

Amazing food and great service! We had a dog so we sat outside and the server brought our dog water and checked on us several times! I got the Bison Burger with Potato Salad and both were amazing! Would definitely could back if we happen to be in the area. Everything had so much flavor! read more

Took my date to the Kitchen Ink for a bite of lunch. She ordered a Cuban sandwich which came with homemade chips. I ordered the Ranger Rick that is a meatloaf bbq sandwich served with chips and a side. I ordered the side salad and I could not believe how fresh and delicious that salad was. And my sandwich was fantastic as was my wife's meal. And the service. The server could not have been better. She made our dining experience that much better. The decor is rustic but blends well with what I believe to be an historic building. Highly recommended. read more

The Kitchen Ink - Stone's Meatloaf Dinner. It's hearty and delicious. Give it a go. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Hot Springs, South Dakota

The food was fantastic and the service was even better! The ambiance was perfect. All around 10/10 Thank you Steph!

With all the construction going on, this was the easiest to get to. We decided to give them a try. First of all the tables were terribly uncomfortable. The service was so friendly though which made our meal nice since we are from out of town. I wish I could say we all loved our meal, but we really didn't. The hamburgers were just ok, even though they are made with grass-fed beef. The French fries weren't memorable. The hot chicken was tough because it was over cooked. It tasted great though, just hard to eat. The street corn pasta was wonderful! And so were the house made potato chips. We wanted so bad to love it. I hope my review will help them improve. Hot Springs needs a good restaurant. read more

We've eaten here a few times. The dinner menu has more gluten-free options than lunch, though I did have a modified chicken "sandwich" on a salad for lunch and it was delicious! The first thing I ate there was bison tenderloin and steamed veggies. Plain, but I don't like my food over-seasoned so felt it was good. The bison was perfectly cooked. I also judge a place on its water and this is some of the best water you'll find in Hot Springs, next to the actual springs water, that is! Ultra filtered and fresh. As you wait for your food look around... you'll be quite entertained by the art in that place! It's definitely a fun atmosphere. The only negative I'd say is they recently lost their manager, who was excellent. It will be interesting to see how their service is without her... she worked her tail off for them and really helped establish their excellent service! read more

We were visiting family and this was the only open spot in town. It was so good! We ordered a grilled cheese, and the turkey dinner since Thanksgiving was close. The services was great too. The prices are a little high for Hot Sprlngs but would recommend! read more

The food was amazing. Some of the best biscuits and gravy I have ever had. The person who waited on us was so focused on the place being successful... loved the passion. read more

Really fresh food. I had their veggie burger which was quite delicious and sweet potato fries.

WOW! This place hit the spot. The Chicken Salad on a bed of mixed greens was filled with goodness-grilled chicken, raisins, carrots, grape tomatoes, pecans, feta, and balsamic vinaigrette on the side. In addition, I asked for red onions. It could not have been a better salad. All the ingredients were fresh as they could be. Hubby had the cheeseburger and fries and said it was excellent. Waiter was friendly and attentive. Just right. Next time you're in or around Hot Springs (SD), give it a try. I think you'll be glad you did. read more

Delicious! Best grilled cheese ever! Kombucha was great! Homemade salad dressing delicious!

Stopped here for lunch. The inside was so cute. Nice big wooden tables with benches. We decided to split a BLT and mozzarella sticks. It was a ton of food. The BLT had three slices of bread and tons of toppings. It came with chips which were delicious homemade kettle chips. The mozzy sticks were hot and cheesy. Delicious. Soda was served in mason jars. So cute. Service was excellent, especially since one person was doing everything. Nice stop. read more

We grabbed lunch here, and is was delicious! Chicken salad sandwich and potato salad were both on point, the service was excellent and the eclectic, artsy atmosphere was refreshing! read more

Stumbled upon this place. You can tell it's brand new. The menu is limited but sufficient. I ordered the meat loaf sandwich, my sister ordered the chicken. Both were excellent. The sauce on my meat loaf had a very unique flavor. Like bbq maybe prepared with some wine? But it was really good. The homemade chips were a bit over cooked to the point of being bitter, but the street corn salad was a delight. Kids choices included a breakfast for $3.99!! Both kids ordered that and it was great. Eggs, a THICK strip of bacon toast and hash browns. Great deal. Everything was very nicely presented on the plate. Will definitely eat here again. read more

Meatloaf sandwich was outstanding flavorful. And daily special Jalapeño popper grilled cheese was cheesy and not to spicy just right. Sides were homemade, fresh, and delicious Mediterranean beans and potato salad. Great find that we only found because we saw it was busy as we drove by. Stop by! read more

Today we stopped for lunch at the kitchen in our server. Her name was Abby provided. Excellent customer service! The food was amazing. We had BLTs and steak tips with sides of mushrooms, onion rings, potato salad, and jalapeños! I would highly recommend the restaurant! read more

Amazing atmosphere, service was very friendly and genuine. Our food was fresh, homemade and great serving sizes! We will be back for sure.

We went on a Sunday and I honestly think we just timed it wrong - got behind two large groups with 9 people each. The tables are a tight squeeze for more than 4 people but the decor is cute. The one waitress/hostess was very efficient and friendly - she also have us a discount because it was over an hour from order to food arrival (my kids were about to lose it, but then the mozzarella sticks came out). The kids had burgers. Husband had the Cuban, fries and chips were good. I had the BLT which was overall good (but no tomatoes - I didn't complain about it but I think the waitress would have gotten me some tomatoes if I had). She was really working her butt off - and the food itself was tasty, I highly recommend the potato salad as a side. Drinks in mason jars were cute and she was attentive to refills. read more

The Kitchen Ink - a group of people sitting at a bar - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Hot Springs, South Dakota

The food was absolutely delicious, and there were plenty of choices. I ordered a vegetarian option, Mediterranean Salad (marinaded beans, cucumber on a bed of fresh greens). My husband had the meatloaf sandwich, which was outstanding! We went on a Sunday afternoon, and there was only one waitress ( who was lovely), but that was okay because the restaurant seating was small. I would definitely go back if we lived closer. read more

Great food at great price. We had the meatloaf sandwich and a shredded chicken sandwich. Both came with homemade chips and choice of either potato salad or a Mexican corn pasta salad. The chips were the perfect thickness and the pasta salad was excellent also, however, it does have a little heat. Service was excellent. Also loved the quaintness of the restaurant. Highly recommend read more

The food portions were great;especially for the price. This restaurant was tucked away but not difficult to find. Although our server was fairly new to the job, she was attentive and made sure everything we ordered was as it should be. Atmosphere was low-key and very relaxed; almost picnic style. I would definitely go back to sample other items on the menu. Menu was not huge but it gave enough choices that made it easy for everyone. read more

Everything was great! We stopped in 30 minutes before they closed with a party of seven. Our waitress made us feel welcome and not rushed at all. We ordered several things off the menu and everything was fantastic. The Rick, the Raskal, the Cuban, the pancakes. The smell of the pancakes alone was mouth watering and the taste did not disappoint. We would eat here again in a heartbeat. 100% recommend. The kids liked it too : ) read more

Lots of good homemade food. Best potato salad I've ever eaten. If you like pickles, try this! Excellent service. Very cool vibe in an old brick building. read more

Great friendly waitress but slow service out of kitchen. BLT was good but a bit soggy n greasy (bread overly buttered and toasted.) and homemade potato chips were burnt. Mex Street Corn pasta salad tasty. Wife had the steak and eggs and loved every bite of it. read more

Stopped for a quick dinner on our road trip And so glad we did! My husband had meatloaf and said it was the best he's ever had. I tried the bison tenderloin and it was fork tender and delicious. Our waitress was so sweet. And the restaurant was clean and comfortable. I highly recommend. . read more

I had dinner here and I highly recommend this place. Not a large place but theirs seating for about 10 groups. The menu had a good selection/variety and I picked the chicken Alfredo. It was yummy with lots of chicken, stalks of broccoli and fresh grated Parmesan cheese. It comes with an impressive salad, and very salty garlic toast. My waitress was informative and nice, and my food came out fairly quickly. They do not serve alcohol but there is a variety of non-alcohol drinks. Only negative is the customer is supposed to go up to the counter when ready to pay, and I didn't know that. Needless to say, I sat waiting for my tab awhile before I was instructed to pay at counter. read more

Outstanding food! Truly a surprise - the steak was high quality and cooked to perfection. Service was prompt, polite and accurate. Decent ambiance. Would ABSOLUTELY eat here next time in town. read more

Unique eating environment with great staff and delicious food. Fries and sandwiches were more than enough food for one person.

Amazing!! As a self-proclaimed "foodie", this place is a dream come true. Amazing fresh ingredients for creative dishes. The decor is chic and it is CLEAN too. Highly recommend. read more

The Blt xl was very good , service was slow but the waitress was sweet . Place is nice and clean

Stumbled on this place on our drive home from Custer SP. Amazing burger, french fries, and sweet potato fries. Everything was fresh, locally sourced - the beef was incredible. And it was welcoming to all - good vibes all around. read more

Great food, very friendly people and fast service. I would recommend this place to anybody

We were excited to try this place based on reviews but we were really dissatisfied. The food was obviously all frozen and just... lazy. The gnocchi was more of a backwoods ravioli and they weren't even cooked all the way through. We really feel like we wasted our money here. read more

Super cute. GREAT food. Service was as expected for how busy it was. Breakfast all day 10/10. Would definitely recommend!

This place was a pleasant surprise on our honeymoon adventure! I had a Cuban sandwich that was prepared in such a way that i could not stop eating it until it was all gone. read more

Very nice little place on the corner. The food is very good and the price is reasonable.

The food was flavorful and cooked perfectly! Our servers both times we went were friendly and fast!

Good food, efficient staff. Seating leaves something to desired, but I'm picky. Fries are the best, right mixture of soggy and crispy.
