While their menu has plenty of safe, delicious options - you can select how many courses you'd like and the chef will choose what you receive. After getting some bread with melted brown butter - both were divine - I tried the Big Shrimpin with Bacon lentil soup. The soup was hearty and flavorful and the dish was complex in flavors and wonderful in textures with grits, collards and more. The service was friendly and frequent. You have a choice of dining inside or out. You won't leave hungry or disappointed and you'll be back.

This restaurant was one I found during a trip to Rapid City, SD and through YELP, so shout out to…read moreYELP. This is very much a diner style restaurant in the very best sense of the word, "DINER." The night I dined here, it was somewhat after the usual dinner rush, so the crowds were gone and the hostess led me to a corner booth near the back of the restaurant and handed me a menu. Like many diners you may have eaten at, the menu at COLONIAL HOUSE is huge. As I get older, huge menus are becoming more intimidating because they offer a large volume of selections that you have to choose from while a server is waiting (sometimes not all that patiently). That having been said, there is enough variety on the menu here that if you can't find something you'd like, you are probably a very picky eater. One surprise and also an intimidating one was the humongous portions that are delivered when your plate arrives. I knew immediately that I would not be able to finish the meal and resolved not to try and ask for a take-out box once I ate what I could finish. My dinner (what I managed to eat was excellent) and the server had no problem providing me with a take-out box. The food kept well in my hotel's room fridge and reheated well the next day for lunch. The baked products at COLONIAL HOUSE were a feast for the eyes and I ordered a piece of strawberry shortcake to take with me back to my hotel. Mouthwatering delight! If you are visiting Rapid City and want to completely SKIP over the far too numerous chain restaurants in the area and get far better food brought to you by servers who actually seem to like their jobs and the reputation of their employer, look no further than COLONIAL HOUSE. Just make sure you come with a completely empty stomach and a big appetite.

We had such a great meal at Beau's Diner! The Hangover Skillet was delish actually spicy but super flavorful. The Smash Burger was one of the best burgers I've ever had. The pancakes had a really nice flavor, and the French toast was yum. The over-hard egg was amazing and so well made, and the bacon was so good. I had the steak and eggs the steak was cooked and seasoned to perfection. The Froot Loops shake was delish too! The portions were huge, and honestly really nice prices for the amount of food you get. The service was super friendly, and even though the parking lot was packed, the wait was only 10 minutes. The place doesn't look big from outside, but it's actually huge, and so clean. Our waitress was so friendly and nice, and I loved that they asked if I wanted coffee to go I didn't take it, but it was such a sweet gesture. Beau even brought our food to the table himself. Super nice guy, and you can tell how much pride he takes in his business. Highly recommend! Ps...

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.
