Strolled into this gem driving through Custer. Beer on tap was served ice cold and all our food was delicious. Chicken was moist and cooked perfectly as were the fries. Chili was meaty and had great flavor. The bar has all that small town ambiance and decor. So glad we picked this spot. read more

Frontier Bar & Grill - Menu - Burgers Near Me - Custer, South Dakota

See all

We were looking for something local while on vacation and the Frontier name got votes from my 10 year old, so we went a little off the path to this sports bar. It's a little rough on the outside, but was clean inside. The food was good. Fried pickle app, several burger combos and a chicken strip combo for our family of 5. My burger had the buffalo sauce and jalapeños but wasn't too spicy. We all got Pepsi products. We were on vacation, so we worried a little less about the price, but the tab was $99 plus the tip I left. The place was almost empty on a weekday, which is probably due to being on the wrong side of town (to catch tourist traffic) or the pricing that was a little high for local lunch traffic. I don't remember the waitress name, but she was friendly and took good care of us. I would encourage others to give it a shot when passing through town. read more

Server was rude and not enjoyable dinning, when pool tables are in the dining room right next to the tables you are eating at. Food is OK but low quality. read more

The food was outstanding...delicious! Great ambience too. Our server was professional and very pleasant. read more

We have been in Mount Rushmore now for 2 was. All 6 of us have tried a lot of the restaurants around the area. We all agreed this was the best restaurant we had been to in the 2 wks, Their ribs were the best we have tasted in a restaurant. Onion rings and coleslaw were right up there. read more

We popped in here for dinner one night. and they had a special of smoked ribs... And oh my gosh I'm so glad we took their recommendation. It was so good. We also enjoyed the garlic cheese curds, and they were also extremely delicious The beer is cold. The food is good and we left very satisfied! Our service was really good. The cow who took care of us came and checked on us many times. read more

Not much is open late in Custer. We arrived close to the kitchen closing, so we ordered a to go order. Nice bartenders, cold beers and good sandwiches. The bar had several dart boards, and pool tables. Everyone seemed friendly. Would be a regular if we were from the area. read more

Great place!!! People/Service AMAZING!!! The special....BBQ holy heck!!! New owner is ROCKIN IT!!!!

The burgers were great. The sweet tea was good and I am from the south. The service was nice home town feeling.

Food was ok. Unfortunately the local guy setting at the bar next to the manager was loud and throwing out the f-bombs in rapid succession. It was f that and f this. Manager just sat there and talked with him. Don't bring your kids here if you care. read more

Great town pub to stop at. They have darts and billiards for those interested. Had a great experience as the server was very friendly and food was great. read more

We (3 of us) wanted to get a quick lunch at a local spot while in the area. We sat at the bar. One other person was seated and the restaurant was not busy. Two bartenders were behind the bar. We sat for 6-7 minutes while they were actively in front of us. They did not greet or acknowledge us at all. We continued to wait a minute then got up to leave. Skip this place and go somewhere else. read more

Good Food, very friendly people we were in custer for 4 days and stopped by this place one time for lunch it was pretty good. I ordered a steak overall great experience . read more

Went during a slow time. Looks like a place locals hang out. Cheap drinks! Food was good. Service was good. Typical local bar. We left satisfied and happy with our lunch. read more

Went there because we needed something quick. It wasn't. And they had a lot of things that weren't available. And what was was pretty poor quality. I've been to many bars with great food but this one wasn't. I'm giving it 2 stars because my wife's chicken sandwich was decent, nobody else was impressed. Service was OK, but the food took way too long to come out. They weren't busy at all either. Skip this place and try something else. I wish I would have waited to get a spot down the street. read more

Came in Labor Day weekend. Super busy. It's a family owned business, so you have to give them a huge pass for trying to keep up. Food was solid, nothing to get a Michelin star, but good nonetheless. We had burgers, chili(amazing), salad, and some appetizers the fries were perfect. Again, not something I'd brag about, but good enough to stop when in town. read more

What a great place to take a break. We had excellent service from Barb. She recommended her chili and it did not disappoint. Delish! I highly recommend the potato salad- made just like my mamas. A huge thank you to the Frontier for helping some very weary folks to feel right at home. PS. Try the Black Tooth Saddle Bronc if you are in the mood for a beer. read more

Dive bar with food. Roll on unless you want a cold beer by the road! Food is ok , flys are all over , owner very nice but this place really needs manager! Good for a beer out side with cash ! read more

We went into this place for lunch. It was empty and soon found out why. My freind ordered the cod basket it was 9.90 with two tiny pieces, about 8 tutor tots and half a paper cub of Cole slaw. I got the burger special, I was told it was 9.90 with everything on it. They charged me 13.90 for a tiny burger and a dollar or more for each item on it. Ie.. lettus 1.50, pickle 1.00, onion 100, tomato 1.50. It was the size of mcds hamburger cooked to a hard dry mass. Came with 8 tutor tots and half a cup (size you put ketchup in at mcds) order slaw. Bill with two sodas..34.xx. Don't be ripped off read more

Awesome dive bar! Typical bar menu expect their BBQ ribs. Husband gets ribs at every restaurant and these were by far the best he has ever had. Secret recipe that the owner won't give up! I can see us coming back next summer just got the ribs! read more

Very friendly, food came out quickly! The fries were good but the sandwich I got tasted like they don't clean the grill too often. And my husbands ribs were pretty bland. read more

Burger was great. Stopped while touring through the Black Hills. Service was also great. Pet friendly patio.

Was here for bike week. Waitress With An attitude. Tells us. I only have 2 hands when asked for A few condiments. Had A burger but you have to pay for condiments. They charge for the onion the tomato and the lettuce. It was on the bill. Speaking of splitting the bill? Guess what an extra charge. Why? Its not that hard to split A bill. Extra charge for credit card payment. Our bill was incorrect with someone else's food. 50 cents for this 50 cents for that. I'm probably getting charged for posting this. So ill cut it short. Don't go here. read more

I highly recommend this place! On vacation headed to mt. Rushmore and passed thru Custer. We were hungry and looked for a place that could accomodate a pickup pulling a fifth wheel. We saw their parking lot and pulled in. Since we don't drink and this looks more like a good old boy bar we were hesitant once we walked in. However, a patron there said they had excellent food, the owner Barb waited on us and told us about their ribs. Two of us had their hamburgers...excellent! The two men had the ribs.....more than excellent! We are headed back to calif and stopped to get the ribs to take with us for the road, they are that good. read more

We stopped in to the Frontier for some lunch with our two young children. We were able to sit outside and soak up some extra sunshine. Our waitress was friendly although she looked severely hungover- I almost felt bad for her! We all ordered burgers and either tots or fries. The burgers were better than average but everything else was ho-hum. My hubby and I had the Custer Burger with bacon, cheese and BBQ sauce. It was good but I think if I could do it over I would have ordered a double burger. The flavor was food but I like a higher meat to bun ratio. read more

We found this place just by chance. We stopped in and was immediately by the owner. He sat us down and went over the menu and bar options. He recommended the burgers as their specialty. I had the buffalo bill burger that had grilled onions, cheese and sour cream. Sounds funky, but it was awesome. Take it from this food junkie and check this place out! read more

Stopped here to have a quick bite to eat, and we did just that. The food arrived insanely fast. I'm talking probably a 5 minute wait for our family of 5. Workers were very friendly and our waitress was great. Food was a little pricey but it was pretty good nonetheless. read more

Awesome! The owner was the only one there when we arrived, and we hesitated but decided to go in. SO GLAD we did. The food was awesome (I had the buffalo chicken sandwich with fries; fiancé had buffalo bill burger). Both were excellent. The owner was nice, friendly, and knowledgable. We could smell our food cooking- no heat lamps here! Very cool, homey, warm atmosphere. They even have a lounge area with some couches and a fireplace, as well as a pool table and a stage (must have live bands on occasion). Really, really neat place. A hidden gem in Custer. read more

After a long day in the park looking for wildlife we ended up in Custer. After a couple help options weren't open this is where we ended up. The service was great, very sweet girl. The food was nothing too exciting. Very greasy...which was what you smelled when you walked in was grease. The exceptional service is what made our experience better! read more

Frontier Bar & Grill - BLT - Burgers Near Me - Custer, South Dakota

Steer clear. These folks have no idea how to run a restaurant. They were busy when we arrived and asked us to be patient and we were okay with that but once ordered no one returned for over an hour and then only to say they were out of chicken strips. We substitute cheese sticks and about 10 minutes later they came out but not the rest of our food. It finally came out after another 10 minutes. It was a horrible BLT that had 2 strips of bacon and the sloppy Joe was thin and yucky.When we asked about our food the waitress said I'm not the cook. We have been on vacation now for over two weeks and this was the worst. read more

Bad, bad, bad! Took the family for dinner here. No kid's menu the waitress tells us kid's menu is Hamburger, Cheeseburger or Chicken strips. They should have said chicken strip as in one strip and a bag of chips for $7.50. The food is just okay eatable but not good chili no flavor at all. .50 for a cup of chopped onions or should I say a few small pieces of onion. The only place in town with no wait for a table. That should have been a clue don't eat here! read more

Sorry, but i would advise you to take a hard pass on this one folks. The bartender was pleasant, but that's all I can come up with for the pro list. Cons are innumerable. It was sweltering inside, our drinks were flat, she delivered 3 out of 4 of the orders incorrectly, not to the wrong person mind you, but just the completely wrong food. Bathroom hadn't been cleaned in a while. But here's the worst part - the food was just plain, basket, reheated bar food. No problem. We just wanted a quick meal. But the bill was nearly $70 for bar food that wasn't even what we ordered and four sodas. One and done. read more

Ice cold beer and greasy burgers. Friendly bartender who also served as waitress while we were here at lunch. Ask for extra napkins because the burgers drip with grease. This place is probably great for over indulging in drinking and needing a burger to soak it up. Overall... clean place, decent restrooms and no real problems. Wouldn't suggest for families with young/small children. read more

Ordered the wing appetizer and was surprised to only get 6 wings for around 9 dollars. One of them were still frozen, so we only got to eat 5... Besides that, the honey garlic sauce was awesome. The chicken sandwich i ordered and the burger my girlfriend ordered were average at best. The size of the burgers were also questionable for 10 dollars. A friend got the chicken finger meal and was absolutely tickled to only receive 2 fingers. The service was interesting as well, as the waitress had no idea about the menu. She forgot napkins and silverware and remembered to bring it halfway through the meal. Either way, i cant say i was disappointed, but i definitely wasnt thrilled about experience either. read more

While driving through Custer we wanted something other than the overcrowded fast food of DQ. This place was the only thing that shouted "WELCOME!!! We're open!" Had the privilege of meeting the owner and she was our server. She was a sweetheart and it was nice talking with her. I had the sloppy joe and tater tots and it did not disappoint. Would be a great place to come back to and drink a couple beers and listen to music! read more

Although the food was good, the service was awful. Our bartender/waiter had no clue what he was doing. After finding a table and waiting several minutes (we were the only customers in the establishment) we walked up to the bar to get drinks and menus for ourselves. As soon as we got our food and started eating the owner came to our table and insisted that we play pool with him. After a few words it became obvious that he was VERY intoxicated. It was terribly uncomfortable and rude. One thousand wild horses couldn't drag me back to this place. read more

Food was just OK. Nothing too special on the small menu it had to offer, probably a much better bar than restaurant. It was very dark inside and the waitress was very indifferent. It says they have the best burgers in town but I've had much better. read more

Stopped by for a quick post 7 mile hike comfort food and despite feeling starved still found the food to be shamelessly low quality, overpriced, greasy, and tasteless. The service was quick since the place was deserted and we ordered a soup, burger, and a ham and cheese sandwich (fast comfort food). Soup was watered down with over cooked noodles and a few celery and chicken chunks (over cooked as well). The ham and cheese sandwich was overly greased yet burnt with 3 thin ham slices and a slice of American cheddar cheese. I struggled to taste anything but the bread. The quarter pound burger came with a dollop of blue cheese and a folded yet still thin single slice of bacon. Fries and tater tots were good but the number could be counted on two hands. Although disappointing we were hungry enough to make the best of it. The service was friendly but failed to mention the 4% credit card charge. Higher quality lower cost food is available right down the street. For example try Custer Wolf or anywhere else in Custer. In a nutshell: low quality fast food at quality restaurant prices. read more
