Needed food. Wanted quick and simple. Nothing heavy. It's how a friend and I ended up here…read more Just off the main drag of the downtown area, parking is free and a lot easier to find. I don't know what it's like when it's busy because on the day we arrived, the entire area was a ghost town. Not even sleepy - no cars on the road and this cafe was even still opening. Walk in, order and find a seat. Not a lot of seating but there's both indoors and out. We chose to sit indoors as it was a little warm and I didn't want to be out under the sun. See pics of the food. Wanted salad. I tend to always want salad. Went with the Springfield. Crisp and fresh - really enjoyed the toppings and dressing. Harmony. That's how I'd describe this salad. I'd definitely have it again. Grabbed the Hot Springs. Wanted a cold sandwich. Wanted an Italian. Closest I could find and the vinaigrette was even on the side so I could add as much or as little as I wanted. I remember enjoying this sandwich so much I considered grabbing a second for the road. However, we're traveling and gotta try other foods and places. This would be one place I'd go back to if or when I find myself back in Rapid City. This cafe is connected to the brewery (Hay Camp Brewing). In fact, that's where the restrooms are if you need it.

I really wanted to like this place more, I really, really did. Came here on the last day of our…read moretrip exploring the trifecta of National Parks. 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.

The cashew chicken salad had ample nuts and chicken and a perfect Asian dressing to pull together the crunchy protein packed meal. They also have chips cooked in avocado oil.

The comfortable dining area of tables and booths is set adjacent to a cool furniture showroom which is different but comfortable. It gives the feeling of a much more spacious dining room and who knows, you might just want to take home a sectional too! The service was prompt and polite.

I could tell it was a local hangout, as everybody seemed to know each other. I was greeted immediately and had the best cup of coffee I've had in a while. I ordered a "Cinnecan" roll, which is a huge homemade cinnamon roll with a center of gooey cream cheese and topped with pecans and a caramel like glaze. I couldn't believe the size of it. Fortunately, I don't have to worry about my blood sugar! I brought half of it back to the hotel. The place has minimal decor, but is clean and is perfect for a locally owned breakfast spot. You know, all that junk thst clusters so many restaurants collect dust and are hiding places for critters. Highly recommended!

Ok, we were excited to give this place a try based on the Yelp and Google reviews. As mentioned in…read moreother reviews it is in fact in an unassuming location connected to a convenience store. Upon walking in, there was no clear signage of whether to seat ourselves or wait. Clearly looking awkward, we were told to grab a seat by the regulars. There is definitely a meemaw's house smell (IYKYK - if you don't, consider yourself lucky). It took a bit to be greeted, but our server was attentive and friendly. After ordering, we waited... and waited... and waited. We were a party of 5, with maybe 4 or 5 other groups of people (some of whom had already been served), and it took over an hour. During this time, nobody stopped by the table. When our food finally came, there was no apology for the wait. Ok. Cool, let's eat. The food was mediocre at best. Average. Not amazing. Not bad. Meh. Certainly not worth waiting over an hour. It was clear the staff had a child/children in the back (cool! Bring your kids to work! It would honestly be so much cheaper than paying for childcare.). But, please, do not continue to allow them to dig out spoonfuls of ice cream straight from the tubs. Delightful for them, turn off for us. Maybe you were not aware? Now you are. Pros: if you like cowboy and inspirational decor, and have a lot time on your hands, this is your spot!! My mom loved her egg whites, so that's good! They're accommodating of special requests! It's quaint! Cons: If you're in a hurry, maybe pick another spot.
