A really great breakfast to start our morning. We always order our eggs over medium and it's hit or miss to get it right. The Original Spearfish Breakfast cooked them to perfection. We also appreciated the menu selection for smaller appetites. Our server was also excellent! read more

I really wanted to like this place, especially because it had such good ratings and reviews. Unfortunately, our experience just didn't live up to what I was expecting. We were seated around 8:40am, ordered around 8:50am, and didn't get our food until about 9:40am. An hour wait after ordering felt like a really long time for breakfast, especially when you're sitting there getting hungrier by the minute. The employees were genuinely friendly, though. They checked on us and kept our drinks refilled several times, so I really can't complain about the people or the way we were treated. The food itself was unfortunately pretty hit or miss. My eggs were cold, and the bacon was undercooked for me. It was soft, chewy, and still had that texture that made me not want to eat it. After waiting that long for the food, it was pretty disappointing. The pancake was really good, though, and definitely the highlight of the meal. I know one experience doesn't necessarily tell the whole story, and maybe we just caught them on an off morning. But with how highly rated this place is, I honestly expected a lot more. I'd probably give it another chance someday, but this first visit just wasn't what I hoped it would be. read more

The Original Spearfish Breakfast House - Sweet Cream Pancakes with scrambled eggs and bacon - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Spearfish, South Dakota

As a southerner, I didn't have super high hopes for a good biscuit and sausage gravy. I was highlyyyyyy surprised to LOVE theirs. The biscuit was fluffy and crispy on the bottom. The potatoes were so tender and the peppers and onions complimented it well. The eggs were cooked exactly how I asked too. Chris was my waiter & I loved the attention to detail he gave me from when I stepped in up until I left. The menu was very diverse and thorough. I had many options I could have picked from! The restaurant was small but clean and friendly. I got to meet the owners and they were so nice and welcoming to me. Most definitely a stop in spearfish if you're passing through! read more

The food was excellent. We ordered the chicken fried steak and chorizo scramble, with a pancake on the side. Such a good breakfast! Our server was the least friendly person we have met, since being in Spearfish for work. Other than that, it was amazing! read more

Really loved the breakfast here, we both had skillets. They were backed up in the kitchen and our server let us know that immediately. Loved that she communicated with us! And it didn't take near as long as I was expecting. We went back the next day (tuesday) and they were closed :( read more

It is not open when they say they are so hard to eat there. How do we know when they are open if they won't update there hours

Big family style roomy restaurant with tables and booths. Busy Sunday morning and we waited 30 minutes for seating. Food was delicious. Awesome fluffy buttery biscuits and gravy, tasty sausage patty, and hash browns were cooked to perfection. Over medium eggs were a little more runny than I prefer. Tasty Omlette. Good coffee. Friendly staff. Quick coffee refills. Now for the bad news; their FOOD SERVICE WAS SLOOOOW! We waited 50 minutes after we ordered for our food. Staff wasn't concerned nor did they apologize for slow meal turn around. A bit of a buzz killer and a waste of time on our vacation. read more

Being a foodie from LA, I always tend to think my palette is the most elite of standards but I've been proven wrong many times. The food in Spearfish has shocked me again. Food: 5/5: Pancakes: These pancakes can stand against the best places in LA. They were fluffy, flavorful (including a little saltiness that's sometimes missing from pancakes) and vanilla-y. The vanilla flavor was so good! Rum French toast was my son's favorite and hubby got the Jeff's gooey mess full of mushrooms and potatoes. All of these dishes were a 5/5. 5/5: Service: our server was the best. Friendly and fast. If I had to have one area of critique was that pork was the only breakfast meat option, but I'm aware pork is just a staple in this region. If you're in the area, this is a must and it's right in the middle of the small downtown area. We will be back!! read more

Stopped in for breakfast and was seated immediately. Server took our order and food delivered fast. Standard breakfast eggs, bacon, hash browns (so savory) and toast for my husband and I has the so sweet pancake, eggs and bacon breakfast. One of the better pancakes I have had!! Good food, service and diner atomsphere! Highly recommend. read more

Solid food, quick and attentive service. Had the avacado and bacon benedict it was good overall. Fresh ingredients and good presentation and portion size. But for almost 20 bucks I would expect a high grade of something. Local bacon or eggs or something that kind of tipped it over the edge to justify the prices. 17 bucks for pancakes and eggs? I would come back for the food but I wouldn't come back for the prices. I know they mention upscale but I would expect upscale to advertise upscale ingredients. read more

The Original Spearfish Breakfast House - Veggie Omelette w/potatoes...Sweet Cream Pancake Special. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Spearfish, South Dakota

Looking for a place for breakfast while in town and this was one of the first that showed up on our search. It didn't disappoint. The location is on "mainstreet" Spearfish in the historical area. Plenty of on-street parking. Service was friendly and fast. The place seemed to fill up quickly, so when you're done, be respectful to the line of people waiting. There are plenty of other places within walking distance where you can go hang out and converse for hours. We tried the veggie omelet and the cream pancakes. OMG, so much food. I couldn't fi ish the omelet, although I probably got 3/4 through. Those cream pancakes though?! They were so good. The subtle sweetness from the cream was delicious. I don't love maple syrup so these were good plain or with a little fruit. Would definitely recommend if you're in the area. read more

The Original NEVER MISSES!! Fast and friendly service. Came here with a friend who has a gluten allergy, and the chef hand-delivered our food so we knew it was safe. Laurie has taken care of us each time we've come here and she is THE BEST. Amazing energy, super fast and personable. I ordered the breakfast burrito and it didn't survive long enough to take a picture of it My sister got the eggs Benedict and this is one of the only places I know of that does it correctly!! Overall, not a single complaint. We will always be back when we're in town for breakfast. Also, side note, this diner is quiet! Open concept but they use plastic plates and have noise dampening features so it's not overwhelming. read more

Always an excellent experience for breakfast or lunch. Favorite spot to hit while visiting Soearfish

Great food-wonderful owners. Comfortable booths- which I appreciate. New restaurants trying to squeeze everyone into too- small hard wood chairs & tables. Love the 'original' way. Thank you! It was during a busy time but we're still very sweet and kind to us. read more

First of all, Chris is absolutely amazing if you come here definitely try to get him as your waiter. We've had the crabcake bunnies and the sweet cream pancakes. They were both unbelievable. We even came back a second day for the crabcake bunny. And the coffee is divine. read more

The food is high end quality with a relaxed family atmosphere. I recommend the chorizo scramble. It had real scrambled eggs, fresh tomatoes, peppers and onions with spicy chorizo over fresh country potatoes. My daughter had the sweet cream pancakes and they looked so light and fluffy. Our waitress Lori was working the whole room with ease and refilled my hot water for. tea multiple times. Chef Bob even came to our table to ask about our experience. This is a welcome addition to Spearfish's downtown experience. If you are traveling or a local, this is a must try brunch spot. read more

Good food, friendly servers (and manager), fun decor. We dropped in on a busy Sunday morning after checking out of the local KOA, hoping for for a casual, simple, sit-down breakfast of eggs and pancakes before getting on the road. We were not disappointed. Pretty busy and they seemed short-handed (the times we live in now) but service was surprisingly quick considering the number of patrons vs the number of servers. We will definitely return if and when we are ever back in the area. (p.s. ~ we liked some of the wall art so much that we found out from the proprietor where we could purchase one of the prints and immediately hung a smaller version in our own dining room ;) read more
