Dan S. Raleigh, NC…read more I have been coming here for years. Not anymore. The staff was rude. I had one bartender yell at me and throw a drink in my face when all I wanted was a beer. I'm sorry Tom, but we're taking our group else wherein South Dakota next year.

Good food. Fast service. Easy in and out. Not much to compare to in the neighboring area so enjoy.read more

Unexpected Road Trip Gem! Stopped here on a cross-country…read moredrive from Salt Lake City to New York -- kind of in the middle of nowhere, but totally worth the stop. I ordered the FBI steak and WOW... better than some fancy steakhouses I've been to. Cooked perfectly and full of flavor. Service was super friendly and polite, which made the experience even better. They also have a solid selection of drinks and a good variety of beer on tap -- definitely didn't expect that out here! Tried walleye for the first time too -- really tasty! Just a heads-up: the seasoning on everything is pretty mild, so you might want to add a little salt, pepper, or ranch depending on your taste. If you're driving through, don't miss this place!

Great steak and service. Steak was perfectly cooked and veggies were fresh! I'd stop if you drive…read morethrough Valentine.

They had me at Cuban…read more Very few places make an authentic Cuban sandwich in the middle of South Dakota so when I saw this family food truck (that I kept missing) was opening a brick and mortar restaurant... I was excited to check it out! The first thing I had to try was the Cubano and it was everything I hoped it would be and more. I planned to get the Platanos (one of my favorites) to go with it but Andre explained that supplier issues meant no plantains for me. While a little disappointing, this is a common issue in these parts so I went with the rice and beans instead. This was a tasty alternative especially when mixed together with the sauce that comes with the Cubano - try it! Dakota Cuban also has craft cocktails on the menu. The Piña Colada came highly recommended and they were happy to make it a mocktail for me. It was almost (ALMOST) too pretty to drink and the perfect compliment to my meal! The vibe is well curated around the heritage of the owners. You could see their passion in the decor and the food. I walked in right when they opened and within 10 minutes the place was packed with great energy. I can't wait to visit again and bring friends to try the rest of the menu!

This is a solid choice for local dining…read more I will begin by saying the exterior of this building gave me pause. I have walked into a few 'less than friendly' establishments in my life and the exterior gave me that vibe. Thankfully, inside is a warm and delightful business with plenty of food options and stiff drinks at a fair price. No beer on tap, but a fair variety in cans. Definitely a space to bring the family, there are two dining areas. One to the right is a long narrow space with booths on the front side and tables in a variety of four and six seating configurations. Decor is wildlife pictures and dark paneling. No windows. To the left of the entrance is the bar and another grouping of dining tables. Parking is on three sides of the building and there are no designated parking spaces. Just be sure you and others can get in and out. The building entrance is street side. There is no awning or anything to let you know 'this is the one'. The menu has a kids section for the young ones. The regular Saturday special was prime rib w/a salad, roll, potato and dessert. So much food! They also offer a couple of ground buffalo meat meals along with sandwiches and entrees. We went with lighter fare and found a side salad order gives you one walk up to the salad bar. They also have a soup & salad bar meal option. As in most other restaurants we've encountered on our travels through the area, the salad base is a bagged iceberg lettuce mix. There were plenty of toppings and salad dressings to choose. My mushroom swiss burger was tasty as were the onion rings. The burger was well cooked and not greasy. Real onions in a tempura style batter had a nice flavor and crunch. Our waitress was pleasant with all the guests and she kept a close eye on us. We had our drinks in good time and the food came in an expected amount of time. Pay at the register by the door on your way out. There's a basket of candy just behind you there (I had a butterscotch. Yum!) and toothpicks are available in a dispenser on the counter. The internet tells me they are open until 11pm.

We were on the road from Minnesota going to see Mount Rushmore and wasn't sure if there was any place had good quality food along the way as we didn't wanna stop at you, typical fast food chains such as McDonald's or Burger King so we figured we would give this place a try. Overall, the food was phenomenal. Great portions on everything that they have to offer there from the burgers, shakes ,fries ,onion rings ice cream, and even slushy. We got a chance to try all of these items in one after one each item we tried was a home run. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and we were so glad that we made the decision to stop in. The great news is it's not far off of the main highway. Just a few minutes up the road. They have an easy to access drive through and even room to sit inside and outside, but seeing how we were in a rush we just went through the drive-through and got our food and headed off after a few few minutes. The only thing that caught us a little bit off guard was the style in which you order. It's all à la carte so each item is individual and unfortunately that can add up pretty fast so we ended up spinning about $90 three people to eat so that's just something to keep in mind if you are stopping here just be aware. It is a little bit more pricey, but I will say that the food is great and the portion sizes are excellent.
