The staff were pleasant also and we had great detailed discussions about football. A constant flow of new coals were always on rotation without the need to chase anyone down. Only downfall was overall temperature, which was hot as balls for most of the time, the air circulation was nonexistent and urgency of the staff to actually pickup tables that customers had left already. It wasn't packed this night but I can see how this place could get swamped! Overall good experience and I will be a return customer.

Our entrees were expertly prepared and presented. They offered a number of lovely cocktails that pleased the rest of my party, while I enjoyed a glass of the lovely Austin Hope Cab. I'm knocking off a star for the excessively loud 80's music curated by an aging DJ, along with over-worked waitstaff that were challenged to respond to every party. Expensive (for Rapid City), but a lovely splurge to celebrate the birthday of our friend. I only wish that the temperature (103F at 6 pm) would have allowed us to sit on the rooftop patio.

We made reservations a few months ago for this restaurant. Very thankful we did as it was full to the brim! The decor and ambiance brought us back to the roaring 20's.

Wish I had the recipe! My husband & I had the specialty pasta for the evening....a ricotta and herb filled tortellini with a melt in your mouth herbed chicken breast...all in a creamy light red sauce. Fantastic! Our friends had the beef filet (cooked perfectly by the way) and the Elk ribs. They both said they were the best they've ever had! We all shared the combination dessert plate....plentiful!

The place was selected by realtor as she is a native of Rapid City and knows the restaurant well and highly recommended it. Interestingly, it was not busy when I arrived a little before Noon. It grew somewhat more crowded as lunchtime went on. My realtor and I both ordered BLT sandwiches which came out promptly. I asked for mine on white toast; the bacon was cooked perfectly, and the lettuce was crisp and the tomato perfectly ripe and juicy. It made for a nice little mess! :-) The establishment has been redone internally and while the building may have once been a car repair garage, it is clean, inviting and decorated well.

It is now circling the drain, and would be best suited for a complete overhaul.

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!

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!

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.
