    Soup - potato bacon
    Sydney C.

    One word, superb! We ordered pick up from Pauly's on a Friday night: said it would be ready in 20 minutes, and it was! It was really busy when I arrived to pick up my food and smelled amazing. The pepperoni pizza, omg. It was good. Thinner style crust, not crispy with plenty of pepperonis and cheese! My husband devoured his potato soup and his meatball sub (unpictured) We will 100% be back!

    We did a pretty large order for our dinner party here and were really happy with everything. We had multiple subs, pizzas, salads, and desserts. All of the food came out great, was devoured, and we had the owner call us to confirm our order. It was really just a friendly and straight forward experience. Appreciate it!

    i hate having to write negative reviews but man... my dad used to work for pizza places and i know bad pizza when i smell it. lemme just say i almost threw up in the car and had all the windows down during my 10 min drive back to our airbnb. the crusts were different even though we got both the same. one was more of a flatbread and the other more fluffy but both chewy in a soggy tough way. the flavor was nonexistent besides the buffalo sauce that came on the side of the buffalo pizza without it was very plain. update: the owner, Brian, reached out to me and refunded our order. He apologized for our experience at his restaurant and assured me that action would be taken with his employees to address this issue. I have added a star as a courtesy for his direct apology and correction.

    I drove into Rapid City from my camping spot in the Black Hills just to hang out and get a pizza. I researched pizza places in Rapid City and landed on Pauly's based on reviews. I was the only customer when I arrived with only 1 other customer before I departed. The guy behind the counter was pleasant and helpful. I ordered a pepperoni pizza with some extras. The pizza was good, I had the craving so at that point Dominoes might have tasted good. There was an ample serving of meat on the pizza but I should have ordered extra sauce because the pie was dry. I like sauce and cheese on my pizza and although the meat was plentiful, it was lacking enough cheese and sauce. That is not a knock on the restaurant because pizza is made differently at different locales. The place was clean, service was good, prices were fair and the pizza was good. I would buy a pie at Pauly's again but I would ask for extra cheese and sauce to satisfy my preferences. Thanks Pauly's you scratched my itch that day.

After being inundated with burgers, I felt like something a little lighter/healthier was in order. AMBIANCE - just off the main strip of downtown Rapid City you'll find this cafe. Cafe is spacious and clean, and is connected to a brewery where, if you're inclined to do so, they will bring your food over to you while you sit there. The Brewery has board games you can play at your table and a variety of pinball machines. SERVICE - service was....ok. I was asking the guy about one of the toppings on the sandwich and he looked at me like I was an alien. Maybe it was his first day? Not sure. He was nice, but not as knowledgeable as you might like for someone working the register. MENU - they had a pretty good mix of sandwiches (hot and cold), and also had a few sides. I also saw they had some homemade lemonades and such, which I was tempted to try, but did not end up trying instead. FOOD - my wife and mother got the badlands sandwich which had roasted sirloin mushrooms, swiss and and side of horeradish mayo. My mom and I both did the rapid city which kind of seemed like a philly cheesesteak sandwich (grilled beef, onions, peppers, jalapenos, smoked gouda with a lime cilantro), while my kids rocked the pastrami. The sandwiches were a pretty good size (at almost $20 a piece, they better be). My kids thought the pastrami was good and after days of burgers, it was a nice change up. My wife liked her sandwich, which was mostly carried by the horseradish mayo. My mom and I thought our sandwiches were just...ok. The meat needed salt, and the lime cilantro was not very flavorful. I ended up stealing some of my wife's horseradish mayo which helped, but just a bit. OVERALL - good not great. Wish the meat was a little more flavorful and the food came out a bit quicker (there was only one order ahead of us and it took a good 20-30 minutes to get our food). Not sure I'd come back.

I expected the cinnamon roll to be the winner but the coffee bun was by far the most outstanding with its cookie butter filling. The lattes were exceptionally delightful with the right amount of espresso kick and the syrups were not too sweet. The quiche was like a slice of cake! Light, flakey, and delish.

My sandwich was average compared to the other Jimmy John's I go to. My cookie tasted stale. I approached one of the male employees (no name tags) and tried to explain that the cookie didn't taste fresh, but his "Gourmet Sandwich Maker" title was apparently the reason why I couldn't possibly be right. He was arrogant. I couldn't finish explaining when he interrupted and said "it's impossible for the cookie to be stale, we just took them out of the freezer this morning and we switch them out twice a day". Well twice a day is hard to believe, but regardless the cookie tasted stale and I guess my opinion meant nothing in his expert mindset. Shortly afterwards, I saw him explain to the supervisor what had happened. The sup didn't bother trying to correct the situation either. For this young man I will add, arrogance is a career killer. Sure, JJ is unlikely his career path, but he needs to learn before he tries moving on. This is how arrogance will hurt your career- You will be so convinced that you are right, you will dismiss the opinions and suggestions of others. You will cut people off and push your solution. Even if you end up being right, repeatedly cutting off others is disrespectful and says, "I know best, so don't even bother telling me what you think." Over time, people around you will be quiet. I was never offered another cookie, a refund or even an apology. Mediocre food and arrogant employees will keep me away from this Jimmy John's and this is why they end up with only two stars.

    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.
