    Excellent breakfast, raisin toast too.

    Shhhhh, this is a local cafe that is tucked away in plain sight and not being local we found it on Yelp. This is a side enterance type of place where you come in and sign your name on the chalk board (we needed coaching on that step). Lots of food on your plate, served up quick and we enjoyed the reasonably priced breakfast. Omelets are big and fluffy, we loved this place. Service was friendly, locals were friendly and a few stopped by and said hello. A true gem in town, stop and enjoy the charm of the hidden local eatery.

    This place is the quintessential little dinner that's been around FOREVER!!!! The walls are covered in nostalgic memories from my childhood and beyond. The food is great and the service is sassy. Coffee is always fresh and they serve you with a smile. Breakfast is my favorite and worth the wait (there's usually a wait for good stuff). If you're looking for a spot where the locals go to grab some good grub look no further.

    Great food and the best service we've found in Rapid in years. Ron's is a smaller, neatly decorated cafe that checks all the boxes for us. Chicken-fried steak & eggs and all meat/cheese omelet were our picks today and both are solid offerings. We will be back to Ron's Cafe soon to try more menu items. I have a feeling we will enjoy those too.

    Ron's is always consistent serving the best breakfast in the city. This location is a must visit when I travel to Rapid City. Small intimate, with many regulars, you feel like family the moment you walk in. Their food is cooked to order with outstanding service. My go to meal I the chicken fried steak. A hungry man portion of crispy steak with a light breading covered in sausage gravy. Also includes eggs, hash browns and toast. Another of our must haves are the plate sized pancakes. One is all you need. You must visit.

    Menu, vintage decor

    Ron's has a fun vibe featuring vintage decor. Breakfast was solid. The eggs and omelette with bacon and toast that hubby and I had were delish. Lots of bread choices to please your pallet. Our server was friendly, prompt, and served us with a smile. Coffee in a variety of mugs added a nice touch. Stop in for a hardy breakfast to get your day going.

    this place is amazing. The food, the friendly service. The best breakfast hands down. Thank you for the hospitality from 2 California natives.

    What an excellent little breakfast spot in downtown Rapid City, South Dakota!…read more We went early one morning on our way to do some business in Rapid and we found tons of street parking right in front. The place was fairly quiet, so we got right up to the counter and placed our order for a apricot "pop tart" pastry, an Elvis waffle, and a turkey avocado sandwich with a coffee & an Americano. Service was congenial and swift. Seating is rustic and hip (they have an adorable Volkswagen van inside the cafe) and lots of nice seating. The coffees were great and the petite apricot "pop tart" was super tasty. My turkey sandwich was fresh with high quality turkey breast (looked like it was shaved off a breast of a big roasted turkey, not traditional cold cut pressed turkey) and delicious fresh ingredients (fresh avocado, sprouts, beautiful bread), but my husband's waffle stole the show! Smothered in peanut butter with sliced bananas, chocolate chips, and whipped cream, that was on top of a perfectly executed Belgian waffle - I kept stealing bites! It was absolutely delicious!! Looking forward to returning and trying something new (if I can keep myself from ordering the Elvis waffle or that delicious turkey avocado sandwich again!) ;)

    Coffee was good, atmosphere was good, service was ok. Not sure what it is but the people working…read morethere were not interested in customer service, they weren't out right rude but they weren't friendly at all.

Everything is fresh and delicious (which makes a difference when you're getting gluten-free baked goods which tend to go stale fast). When we were there, they had just taken Honey-white gluten-free loaves out of the oven and it made this gluten-sensitive girl cry, it was THAT GOOD! It was like REAL bread like I used to eat before the allergies happened! I was so excited, I bought an embarrassing amount of bread and lemon cake and took it to our reunion and no one knew it was gluten-free! Also, it's worth noting that if you have other allergies (dairy/nuts/etc.), the staff is knowledgeable and will steer you right to what you can eat. Seriously, if you are gf & dairy-free, this is where you want to go to get fresh bread products! We were directed here by someone at Breadroot (also an amazing place for those with special dietary needs), and we are so grateful. We were surprised that Nanna's was "at the mall," but it was easy to find and so worth the stop! Worth noting: Nanna's is currently closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, but get in there on Wednesdays-Sundays.

    Nourish Café is actually the cafeteria of Monument Health Hospital (formerly Rapid City Regional…read moreHospital). It serves hospital staff, patients, and the public 24 hours. Foods are high-end restaurant quality because they are prepared by authentic chefs trained in culinary arts. From the grill get cooked-to-order burgers, chicken or grilled cheese sandwiches. Sample entrees plated to your order are Smoked Brisket Ragu, Turkey Enchilada Verde, Ravioli Primavera, Pimento Mac & Cheese, Hot Turkey Sandwich, Mexican Corn, Mashed Potatoes, Bowtie Chicken Alfredo, and Beef Tips with Mushrooms. Nourish Café is an oasis where caregivers, physicians, patients and family members can relax and have a nutritious meal. The chef and food service caregivers work hard to create a positive experience for all who pass through the restaurant. This is not the typical bland hospital cafeteria. Instead, the atmosphere is calming with option to eat on the outdoor patio. Healthy, nutritious, wholesome foods abound - much of it locally sourced. Partnerships with local growers and ranchers help further the café's goal of sustainable, healthy dining. Scott Brinker, known around Nourish as "Chef Scott," is a firm believer in Hippocrates' famous quote: "Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food." I dine here with friends and family--even when I'm not there as a patient. ###

    I'm on the fence about this place. I'll break it down…read more Quality/quantity for the price 5/5. They have only one size LARGE. But honestly worth the price. Efficiency: 3/5 They are always busy and I've seen people standing around while one person makes smoothies alone. Many hands make light work. Deaf friendly staff 3/5 the noise level is LOUD and CONSTANT between machines whirring and people talking, it renders hearing aids useless and leaves a general cacophony of noise. So trying to talk to the person taking the order becomes futile and renders hearing anything useless. But when I try to write my order to them I get rolled eyes. Building appearance/flow 1/5. Seriously. The worst ever. It's squishville in there. The counter seats are always full as well as the tables so you have people standing in line to order and people standing around waiting for their order, ontop of people coming in and out of the door. If you have panic attacks, are clausterphobic or are generally an anti people person, I strongly suggest you send a willing minon in there because it will drive you over the edge. Wait time 3/5 I'm not a smoothie maker so I may be ignorant but it seems a very long time to wait for a smoothie. Granted the bursting at the seams business has much to do with it ;so maybe I should just shut up on this. They also make food but ive never eaten any of it. Taste. 5/5 this is what makes me deal with the aforementioned nervy factors. Seriously worth the 10 to 20 minute wait and rise in blood pressure. (from the squishiness not from the drinks.) You get a giant smoothie that brings your blood pressure down after that first sip. One drink and the birds are singing again and all is right in the world. (Though this could also be, because I've left the building) So all in all...still worth it. You could make your own at home but if you don't want to, go here. However I strongly suggest taking a chill pill or do a meditation before you do. The smoothies are worth it.
