We had a great meal on the patio, along with some wonderful beer. My wife had a salad with Salmon and I had the buffalo meatloaf.

Awesome service and food! Every table gets a water pitcher and glasses. We really enjoyed the atmosphere the most - the food was good too.

Go here for the games, but skip the pizza…read more Came here with the family. The kids love an arcade! They loved playing games and getting tickets and then getting their junky candy and trinkets as prizes. We did eat here on our first visit. I ordered a wedge salad and shared a pepperoni and mushroom pizza with my husband. The kids had kids meals. Portions were huge, but the food was pretty unremarkable or worse. The wedge salad was off. I think the lettuce had frozen and then then thawed. After one bite, I decided to stop eating rather than risk food poisoning. The pizza was maybe a step up above Chuck E Cheese? Bland but very greasy/oily. The kids meals had huge portions that neither kid could finish. I had a cocktail that was mostly juice. Very drinkable because it was juice. Thankfully it was a bargain (only $9.99). But other than the food stuff, the family had fun here. Enough that my husband took the kids back again (after dinner) the next night.

This place was so cute and fun. It was such a nice stop when visiting the area. I wish we would…read morehave had more time to spend here. The people working here were so welcoming and inclusive. They have cool drinks both alcohol and na options and food and lots of old fun games and some newer stuff too. There's a couple different floors of stuff and so much to explore. I even made a little video about it on my Instagram page because it was so unique and perfect fitting in their beautiful downtown area. We will definitely make this trip again one of these days and will spend some more time at press start!

If you want to watch football in Rapid, Teddy's is definitely the place to go!…read more When I lived in SD I used to go to Teddy's every other weekend to watch games. I'm a Bears fan and there are always other Bears fans there, so we generally get a big screen to ourselves to drink beer and eat good food and watch a game. The place is huge and there are TV's all over the place so you can get by watching a couple of games at a time. I've never been there to watch any other sports, but I'm sure it's the same. The staff is really friendly and cool and they'll put a TV on whatever you want (well, as long as it's sports . . .). The food is pretty good. I noticed that sometimes the nachos were good and sometimes they were fair. The inferno wings are REALLY hot. The chicken sandwich isn't bad. But the best thing is that if you hit it during happy hour (which you most likely will during a game), you get big discounts. The beer here is good. They carry a few of my faves but the selection isn't top notch. But the bartenders are super cool and friendly and that is what I like. The place is HUGE. Two sets of bathrooms which makes it great when it's busy and it's always clean. There's several pool tables and dart games and such. And if you like dancing, the other half of the bar is dance club. It's hoppin' on Fri/Sat nights. That's not really my scene though and I prefer the sports bar side. I really miss Sunday's at Teddy's now that I'm back in CA. It was one of the best places to watch football that I've ever been to.

Weekend nights are fun. Pool tables not hard to get on, drinks are served quickly, but I did have…read moreone bad experience that ruined it for me. The beer pong tournements. A friend of mine was playing in one. Being as that he is there every weekend, the staff knew him pretty well. They knew he was military and had orders to leave soon. Same guy made it to the finals of this beer pong tournement, before the game started, the ref gave the winnings to the other team because they were also usuals. When my friend asked why, they replied, "because you have orders and want them to come back." Soon after we tried to report then to the better business borough and they had no record of Teddy's or moonshiners. Service-5 Establishment-3 Management-1 Policys-1 Comes out to about a 2

If you go in recognizing that this is a gourmet experience that emphasizes the presentation and…read moretaste profile in lieu of portion size, then you should be very satisfied. Our entrees were expertly prepared and presented. They offered a number of lovely cocktails that pleased the rest of my party, while I enjoyed a glass of the lovely Austin Hope Cab. I'm knocking off a star for the excessively loud 80's music curated by an aging DJ, along with over-worked waitstaff that were challenged to respond to every party. Expensive (for Rapid City), but a lovely splurge to celebrate the birthday of our friend. I only wish that the temperature (103F at 6 pm) would have allowed us to sit on the rooftop patio.

An amazing restaurant at the top of the historic Alex Johnson hotel! We are visiting Rapid City and…read moreMt. Rushmore for Independence Day this year. We made reservations a few months ago for this restaurant. Very thankful we did as it was full to the brim! The decor and ambiance brought us back to the roaring 20's. Our server, Alexis, was awesome. She was highly informative and gave us greet recommendations! I had the watermelon and strawberry gazpacho as an appetizer! Refreshing with spicy twist....delicious! Wish I had the recipe! My husband & I had the specialty pasta for the evening....a ricotta and herb filled tortellini with a melt in your mouth herbed chicken breast...all in a creamy light red sauce. Fantastic! Our friends had the beef filet (cooked perfectly by the way) and the Elk ribs. They both said they were the best they've ever had! We all shared the combination dessert plate....plentiful! Overall an amazing experience! Highly recommended!

Food, atmosphere, beer, all amazing!! Love, Love, LOVE, this restaurant!!!…read more From New Jersey, and can't wait to come back to South Dakota, just to eat at firehouse brewing Company. Thank you!!! Sue Schu

Nothing was terrible, but nothing was great. We stopped here on our way back from the Badlands so…read morewe had been hiking and very hot all day. The upstairs area of this restaurant was stifling hot; I would've been uncomfortable on a normal day, even if I wasn't slightly overheated and sunburned from a day outside. I heard several other people complain about how hot it was; it seems like even a small box fan would be helpful to circulate the air upstairs. The service seemed slow, but our server was friendly. We mostly stopped here for the old firehouse atmosphere because we thought our kids would enjoy it, and they did, and enjoyed getting plastic fire hats to wear while eating. Our food was fine. My son got the mac & cheese off the kids menu which he did not enjoy and said it was gross. It looked to be fine and he's just picky, but he's not actually a picky eater so something was a little off with it. We got the beer bread for our youngest son to nibble on, but he wouldn't touch it and none of the rest of us ate it after having a bite because it was stale and tasteless. My husband got a reuben, which they advertise as one of their specialties and said it pretty tasted like a generic reuben. There was nothing special or particularly delicious about it. I got the western burger, which was good and I enjoyed the marmalade topping on it. I don't love battered fries, which is what they serve, but they weren't bad. Just not my preference. We also got a side of baked beans for kids, but they were very sweet and the beans were still pretty firm so they did not love them. It seems like the reviews are mixed, but if we were in the area again, we would probably not return.
