To set this up, we love TexMex and BBQ foods. We have sampled the best BBQ in Memphis, KC and all of Texas and appreciate great TexMex and BBQ. Central Texas has, in my opinion, the best of both. However, yesterday, we 3 senior couples met at JR's Rhodehouse for the first time to try their BBQ. Being 6 adults, we chose to order "The 1/2 Gout" from the menu, a platter of Brisket, Pork, Turkey, Links, & Ribs plus 2 pints of sides of your choosing, a perfect assortment of the menu items. Wow! Bottom line: It was as good as any BBQ we have ever tasted. I saw the brisket as it came from the smoker - perfectly cooked, very juicy and tender - one of the best ever... The rest of the meats were excellent also. We have found a SD BBQ joint that compares equally well with the best of Memphis, KC and TX - and local to the Rapid City area. We met JR, the owner and his wife - friendly and proud of their accomplishments in the BBQ business. The staff was very friendly, the beer selection was good and cold, and the prices were very fair. All that said, we will be a regular customer and when the BBQ craving pops up, we will gather friends and neighbors and head to JR's Rhodehouse for another great meal. I encourage you to do the same. Thanks, JR and crew for bring the best of Texas BBQ to South Dakota!

I don't know what it's like when it's busy because on the day we arrived, the entire area was a ghost town. Not even sleepy - no cars on the road and this cafe was even still opening. Walk in, order and find a seat. Not a lot of seating but there's both indoors and out. We chose to sit indoors as it was a little warm and I didn't want to be out under the sun. See pics of the food. Wanted salad. I tend to always want salad. Went with the Springfield. Crisp and fresh - really enjoyed the toppings and dressing. Harmony. That's how I'd describe this salad. I'd definitely have it again. Grabbed the Hot Springs. Wanted a cold sandwich. Wanted an Italian. Closest I could find and the vinaigrette was even on the side so I could add as much or as little as I wanted. I remember enjoying this sandwich so much I considered grabbing a second for the road. However, we're traveling and gotta try other foods and places. This would be one place I'd go back to if or when I find myself back in Rapid City. This cafe is connected to the brewery (Hay Camp Brewing). In fact, that's where the restrooms are if you need it.

After being inundated with burgers, I felt like something a little lighter/healthier was in order. AMBIANCE - just off the main strip of downtown Rapid City you'll find this cafe. Cafe is spacious and clean, and is connected to a brewery where, if you're inclined to do so, they will bring your food over to you while you sit there. The Brewery has board games you can play at your table and a variety of pinball machines. SERVICE - service was....ok. I was asking the guy about one of the toppings on the sandwich and he looked at me like I was an alien. Maybe it was his first day? Not sure. He was nice, but not as knowledgeable as you might like for someone working the register. MENU - they had a pretty good mix of sandwiches (hot and cold), and also had a few sides. I also saw they had some homemade lemonades and such, which I was tempted to try, but did not end up trying instead. FOOD - my wife and mother got the badlands sandwich which had roasted sirloin mushrooms, swiss and and side of horeradish mayo. My mom and I both did the rapid city which kind of seemed like a philly cheesesteak sandwich (grilled beef, onions, peppers, jalapenos, smoked gouda with a lime cilantro), while my kids rocked the pastrami. The sandwiches were a pretty good size (at almost $20 a piece, they better be). My kids thought the pastrami was good and after days of burgers, it was a nice change up. My wife liked her sandwich, which was mostly carried by the horseradish mayo. My mom and I thought our sandwiches were just...ok. The meat needed salt, and the lime cilantro was not very flavorful. I ended up stealing some of my wife's horseradish mayo which helped, but just a bit. OVERALL - good not great. Wish the meat was a little more flavorful and the food came out a bit quicker (there was only one order ahead of us and it took a good 20-30 minutes to get our food). Not sure I'd come back.

I've been to Ecuador and was feeling nostalgic. However, this place transcends a country. It is next level cuisine. I don't eat a lot of pork, so I ordered the ceviche. Though I was skeptical that you could get good ceviche in South Dakota as I usually don't even like fresh ceviche on the ocean. I literally have no idea how she managed to pull off this dish, but it is the best ceviche I have ever had. Truly delicious. I even drank down the broth, which didn't taste a bit fishy. Just full of lime and flavor. It's worth a detour to stop at this food truck. It's that good. Reasonable price, fast service. Not to be missed.
