Service was fast and the staff helped with recommendations and were very helpful and polite. Restaurant has a 70's car theme with metal signs, license plates and an old fashioned diner feel. $14 for a good sized bacon cheese burger deluxe and waffle fries. I would recommend you stop and give it a try.

This is not the first time I noticed quality control issues on my blizzards. But, it's probably the last time I get any more blizzards. I'm tired of being disappointed and paying too much for it. Goodbye Dairy Queen. Tip your blizzard upside down to celebrate another lost customer.

Also recommend the walleye fillet. It's substantial, to say the least, yet perfectly fried in a light panko-like batter, allowing the fish to dominate. It's a large room but you can find a quiet corner. Lots of families early in the evening. Skip the cocktails--way too watery,--go for the brews. Onion rings only adequate, and not much for a $12 app. Service is friendly but the kitchen might need better supervision. Ordered a load baked potato--it was bare, and probably a day old. But again the Mac and cheese is great! Plenty of parking, easy to find

This place is known for their bakery shop which I dont care for but my friends love getting their sugar cookies, choc chip cookies, coconut whip cream pie and pumpkin pie every time we stop by.

During that time I watched two tables get up and leave without paying. We went to kitchen to find waitress. They said they would send her out. She never came. Three customers were angry and stood up with me waiting to pay. Shift manager just shrugged when I told her how many people walked without paying.

The donut holes are fluffy on the inside, with a more firm outside. They're sliced & filled with house-made buttercream. 10/10. Visit the capital of South Dakota ASAP.

The gas prices are usually the lowest in town and you get a 5 cent discount for paying with cash. The staff members are very friendly and will often strike up a conversation with you. Being far from home, this is a nice touch. To make things even better, I put $10 of gas into my car to make it to Rapid City and I was given a voucher for a free car wash. Unexpected, but greatly appreciated it! Who knew a stop at a little gas station could leave you with a smile on your face.

They have Jerky, snakcs, sticks, summer sausage ans pemmican. The chicken is just as good as the beef. Don and Mary are at their booth every weekend and they will give you samples until you find one you like. The prices are good and I always get the 4 four $25. It just does not last. If you like the outdoors or if you just like jerky, this is the stuff you should get.

I got along with the people behind the bar and the manager. It's not a bad place. Some of the dancers where catty tho towards me since I was the new girl. I thought that was immature. My car got vandalized the 1st week I worked here. so maybe park your car far away and walk there. IDK who did it. If you want to request music ask the next dancer who is going up if she will dance to your music b.c. if you choose music w.o. asking if the dancer wants to dance to it, the music will be skipped. The dancer is supposed to choose her own music, if customers do it with out asking the dancer sometimes she will not dance to it or the management will skip the song. Basically it messes up the dancers rotation if someone goes on there and chooses there own music w.o permission b.c. the dancers know which songs they picked to dance to. My stage name is naomi by the way. U can call in to see if im working there. Will be working most of hunting season 2015. To get a dance u have to buy a coin from the bar or the bouncer per dance.
