Emily G.

Very yummy sandwiches! Each we ordered were big portions. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's seating in Bashful Bison, which functions both as a lunch spot and deli/market.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It is adjacent to the Hay Camp Brewing Company, so you can order food here and sit in the Brewery space and order drinks there if you'd like. The service is minimal; the service takes your order at the register and brings it out to your table when it's ready. I've been to other sandwich shops in the area and trust me, this place is one of the better spots!

Green apples, brie, turkey, too little ingredients and not enough flavor, way overpriced.

Alfie S.

This is just not worth the money and my time, a big disappointment. About 6pm on a Thursday we came in two adults and two kids, 2 people in front of us in line so ordering didn't take long. This sandwiches are WAY overpriced, took over 25 minutes to get and quite frankly the flavor and quality of the ingredients just doesn't stack up, we can't recommend this as we won't be back.

Albert T.

We were stuck in Rapid City for a couple of days due to an issue with the hotel we were staying at. After having some disappointing sandwiches a couple of days prior, and seeing the promising ones served here, we decided upon Bashful Bison to keep our minds off the hotel situation. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We were a little confused when we first walked up, since we couldn't find the Bashful Bison sign anywhere - it turns out that this sandwich shop is actually inside the Hay Camp Brewing Company Building.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The place was quite full for lunch - we placed our order at the front and waited for our food. The sandwiches are made fresh to order and took a good 20 minutes before they were ready. [[HIGHLIGHT]]For seating, we could select seats inside the windowed sandwich area, or inside the brewery section. We chose to take the sandwiches to go since we still had some issues at the hotel we needed to solve.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The Rapid City ($14.49) - Very nice sandwich, with plenty of tender grilled beef to whet the appetite. The beef is cooked perfectly for the sandwich. They don't drain the meat, so all of the juices soak into the bun and add plenty of moisture. They mix quite a bit of onion, peppers and jalapenos on top of the meat, adding fresh sweetness and a tiny bit of heat. They then melt several slices of smoked gouda, giving a stretchy cheesy quality to every bite. A generous amount of aioli is spread on the sub, giving additional fat and moisture. The sub is quite dense and chewy and manages to encapsulate all the ingredients quite well, with the cheese acting as additional binder to help keep all the peppers from sliding out. Eating this sandwich is still slightly messy, given the cheese stretch and the juices dripping out. (5/5) The Bison ($17.49) - This sandwich is kind of their version of a bbq beef brisket sandwich. There's nicely melted cheddar cheese, a bunch of pickles giving a bit of a tang and crunch, and plenty of sweet and tangy bbq sauce - not enough to drown the sandwich, but enough that it covers all the ingredients. The star here is the bison meat. All of the bison meat I had on this cross country trip were quite lean with little to no fat. The sliced bison brisket on this sandwich was the sole exception - instead of being dry and lean, the brisket had some fantastic fattier portions, giving a bit of a contrast in texture and taste. This is a solid sandwich, although I'd probably prefer it with something other than bbq sauce. (4/5) We didn't find any other eating options in Rapid City to be particularly interesting, so we went back later for dinner and decided to dine in. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I guess this is more of a lunch destination because the place was pretty much completely empty at 6:30 PM and the sandwiches only took about 5 minutes to come out.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The Summerset ($12.99) - The Bashful Bison gives you a big pile of salty but very flavorful corned beef. The meat is actually quite moist and not too overly salted - some other corned beefs I have trouble eating without having a huge glass of water on hand, but this was manageable without. They absolutely slather the top bun with mustard, giving quite a strong mustardy kick with every bite. Possibly a bit too strong for me! A slice of cheddar completes the interior of the sandwich, although in this case it was kind of cold and not melted at all. My favorite part of the sandwich was actually the bun - it's served warm and is very chewy and soft. (4/5) The Spearfish ($14.49) - This sandwich is very similar to The Rapid City which I had for lunch. The only difference is the change in meat from beef to chicken, which still remains moist and flavorful. I did find this one to be a bit spicier than the other sandwich, but that didn't detract from my enjoyment at all. I liked this one just as much as The Rapid City. (5/5) I ate here twice in a single day. If that's not a ringing endorsement of a restaurant, I don't know what is. If you're in Rapid City and you want a nice sandwich, Bashful Bison is where to go. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Bathrooms - Larger restrooms in the brewery side of the building. They are kind of bizarre. I don't really recommend using the stalls because there are gigantic gaps in the door and the bottom of the door is way higher than the usual skimpy American toilet stall doors. If you want any kind of privacy, avoid the stalls.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

When ordering I wasn't very impressed for the fact that they don't have fries and kids menu is limited. But the Sandwiches were great and large portions. We specifically loved the Rapid City sandwich. The strawberry lemonade did not really tasted different than soda lemonade so kind of overpriced, but overall good experience.

Terri S.

It's gonna take a minute to make your sandwhich but buckle up! So good. Husband had pastrami and i had chicken (spearfish)...we could have shared one they are huge but ngl...finished mine. Fresh, creative and that's real roasted chicken not deli chicken. ‍‍

We are visiting from AZ and wanted to have a picnic in Canyon Lake Park so we sought out the 5 reviewed Bashful Bison. What a treat! There was a bit of a wait to receive our food but we were in no rush so it worked out fine. Our sandwiches were definitely worth the hype. I had a Gluten Free turkey sandwich with green apples and cranberry mayonnaise. It was the best sandwich that I've ever had. Everyone else in our party of 4 could not stop raving about their sandwiches as well. We ended up having a great picnic with wonderful food. read more

First off, they moved to 601 Kansas City St so don't use the Yelp address if it still says Main St. Cute little deli, order at the counter and have a seat. We ordered the Summerset and the Pine Ridge and let me say we've never been more impressed! The bread was fresh baked, the meat was flavorful and super tender on both. Their chosen condiments and cheeses were perfect for each sandwich. Hubs had the made in house potato salad, nothing but positives for freshness and flavor. Overall we would highly recommend this deli to anyone looking for a fresh sandwich with tasty selections for whatever you're craving. Service was friendly and quick with a chill atmosphere.

The white bread is not that much more. Love the #4 turkey with cheese, lettuce and sprouts. Have to get the hot peppers to finish it off. BTW the staff at this location are extremely nice and remember your face.

It was a Sunday night but still pretty busy. We just got lucky as they were able to get us in without reservation. So do recommend having a reservation before coming in. They do have selection of wine and beer. But no hard liquor. But good food did make it up for it.

I was pleased with the crust and amount of cheese and pepperoni I just was not a huge fan of the type of sauce used. But still solid pizza for me. And again just happy to even have an option. I also super loved that they had things like cane sugar sodas I got this awesome rootbeer from 1919! Ryan got a cider and he got some cheesy bread. The buffalo dip was a good flavor. And it is in a cute neighborhood here we were able to walk around and explore while we are here for his work in Rapid City South Dakota! The people here seemed friendly and got us everything we needed. We would definitely come back here. Looks like they also do things like trivia and other fun events!

I wish drinks were stronger. They don't make any common drinks outside of the menu (asked for a Bloody Mary). We had a cucumber-and-jalapeño margarita and a beer. Limited vegetarian menu. Complimentary salsa and chips were good.
