    Very yummy sandwiches! Each we ordered were big portions. There's seating in Bashful Bison, which functions both as a lunch spot and deli/market. 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.

    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.

    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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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.

    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.

    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 started our evening at Sear Steakhouse with some excellent drinks. The thyme mocktail was crisp…read moreand refreshing, and my husband's old-fashioned was fragrant and well-balanced, complete with a perfect bada bing cherry. His only note was a preference for a single large ice cube rather than crushed, but overall the bar clearly knows what it's doing. The appetizers set a great tone. Warm sourdough was fresh and comforting. I enjoyed the bright, crisp house salad, while my husband's pumpkin soup was silky, savory, and perfectly seasonal. We both ordered the 7-ounce filet mignon, and the kitchen truly delivered! His medium-rare was tender and juicy with a beautiful sear, and my medium-well was still succulent--proof of precise cooking. They have an outstanding variety of cool, reasonably priced side dishes. My husband was excited about the Queen's honey carrots which were tender and flavorful (though the honey glaze was very subtle) and the creamy mashed potatoes that are part of the steak dish, were nicely executed. I didn't realize my filet came with mashed potatoes underneath, so I ordered a loaded, baked potato as my side, and ended up with extra potato (which I'm not complaining about whatsoever lol). We also enjoyed the whiskey cream sauce with mushrooms, which added a gentle smoky creamy richness, and the onion soubise, which was pure sweet comfort. Dessert was a highlight, as we celebrated my husband's birthday - we ordered all three featured desserts: The crème brûlée had a perfectly crackled top and smooth vanilla bean custard, the flourless chocolate dessert was deeply rich with espresso notes, and the butter cake was the total star - warm, moist, and decadently buttery. Each dessert was excellent in its own way, but that perfectly sinful butter cake stole the show! The atmosphere was inviting--warm wood tones, comfortable booths, well-balanced lighting, and enough TVs near the bar to keep my sports fan husband happy. Service was friendly and pleasant, though we found ourselves wishing for a bit more attentiveness. With a very quiet dining room, very early in the evening (we had a 4 PM reservation), there were moments when water refills lagged and opportunities for wine suggestions went unoffered (and we were definitely wanting to order some red with our steaks, but gave up because by the time there was an opportunity, we were finished with our steaks). We also briefly looked into the small private dining room on our way through the bar, and while we were greeted politely by one of the employees who was sitting in there, it felt like they missed the perfect opportunity to highlight the space for potential events. That said, nothing detracted significantly from the experience--it was simply a matter of polish. A touch more proactive engagement could elevate an already strong offering into something exceptional. Overall, Sear Steakhouse delivered an enjoyable and memorable evening. The food, drinks, and desserts are clearly strengths, and with just a little added focus on service flow and guest engagement, this restaurant has all the makings of a true standout in Rapid City. We look forward to returning and trying new things!

    I'm really torn on this review because I've only been to Sear Steakhouse twice, and the experiences…read morewere completely different. The first visit was for a work event in the back room (not sure if that made a difference), and it was outstanding. The food was cooked to perfection--my steak literally melted in my mouth, and the sides were hot and delicious. I couldn't stop raving about it afterward. The second visit, after talking it up to my family, was a letdown. They were busy, and maybe that played a role, but it just wasn't the same. My steak was mediocre, and my husband was genuinely confused why I had claimed it was one of the best steaks I'd had in a long time. Unfortunately, when it comes to restaurants, the bad tends to outweigh the good. We haven't been back, and I can't justify the price tag when there are other great steak options in town. I know places can have off days, and maybe that's what happened--but I'm not willing to return to find out.
