I have to say our burger was pretty good and beer was cold what more do you want? the owner is super nice. Sadly she's having a hard time finding anybody wanting to work so she's cooking and bartending.. the place was clean decorated very Homie you pull up not quite sure, but you walk in and it's nice. read more

Right alongside 90, this was a good spot for us to stop for lunch. We made this stop on our road trip and enjoyed the food very much. I had a cheeseburger and husband had the BLT. We visited August 2023, and the poor owner was by herself. We were happy to extend grace and our lunch was closer to 2 hours. I liked my burger a lot. I hope they get to stay in business. read more

The 605 Restaurant & Bar - August 2023 - New American Near Me - Kennebec, South Dakota

I've had many burgers in my life. It's why I don't really like them. I haven't really had any good ones, out. I was sad to see this place mostly had burgers. They have other foods but it seems this is their "thing". HOLY F#$^&*# MOLY.... THE BACON &BLUE BURGER IS AHHHHMAZING. YES ... this is just my opinion I thought their chicken wings were really great too. I will definitely be back if I am ever in the area. Thanks for a great meal. The burger was $20 TOTALLY WORTH IT! read more

Great food! Tammy did a great job on service and hospitality. An absolutely must stop.

6/1/24 Food was OK, place seemed a little sketchy concerning cleanliness. Felt bad for the owner as she was working solo and said she was the only employee, although my family & i were the only people in the restaurant at that time, she did great with service. The vibe of the restaurant is very interesting. In your face Anti-feminism, Trump loving flags everywhere, typical redneck small town dive. LOL My Dad loved the burger. However, my Mom didn't like the burger at all. My Brothers liked the chicken strips & fries but almost wasn't enough. My 4 y/o Son & Grandma ordered a "kids" meal corn dogs and we were surprised at how many came with a kids meal and thought it would've came with a side of french fries with them. The corn dogs were a little cold on the inside but super crispy on the outside. I got the BLT and thought there was way too much lettuce, otherwise great. Overall OK place to stop and dine when you are traveling/road tripping and in the middle of no where. read more

Surprised by this little gem along the highway. Really good hamburger and patty melt. Fries were good also. My drink was perfect and made just as asked. Eclectic atmosphere. Owner was a doll. She is doing it all. No fluff here, just simple and made off the grill. read more

What a gem in the rough! The owner is sweeter than sweet! Some idiot came in complaining about a 4.75 beer and cussed her out. It was incredibly sad! I had one of the best burgers in my life! And all food that came out looked amazing. If people can't be nice, I wish they would just stay in their vehicle! Don't judge this place by its cover, it's amazing! read more

Just had a few drinks here and it was a great time. The owner is awesome and loves our country! Will be back anytime that I can

Fantastic in every way! Called in a to go order on our way through and the food was incredible; we both got the Texas Tang burger which was recommended to us by an employee. Super kind staff as well. I highly recommend! read more

This lady goes above and beyond to help others and serve our community! The food is amazing and waitresses are friendly!

Chill out, it's just a Trump flag! The food here is great, they've got rosemary French fries and free peanuts. The staff are super friendly. Great stop off of I-90. Super cute decorations (beyond the trump stuff), clean bathrooms, even a pool table and bar. Burgers are half pounders with creative toppings. Warning: they're huge! read more

The 605 Restaurant & Bar - Cute place friendly atmosphere - New American Near Me - Kennebec, South Dakota

They don't take credit cards, only local checks or cash. The bathrooms were locked and many signs that you had to get a key from the bar and the restrooms were for paying customers only were posted on every door. We left because we only had cards so I can't rate the food but definitely wasn't a friendly environment. read more

I was excited to go to a biker bar right off a major highway! Unfortunately, I was very disappointed. My boyfriend and I walked in and sat at the bar. I asked what kind of beer they had. Well, the bartender stepped back, said no words, and pointed to the refrigerator which I had to lean over the bar top to see. It was also in the kitchen area. Then we had to ask another guest at the bar for a menu, and the bartender told us in a very annoyed voice that we could get the menus from a spot which were stuffed in to a small corner of the bar, behind a ton of junk. I myself have political views. But having to duck under a "TRUMP 2024: THE COMEBACK TOUR" flag just to get to the second room of the bar doesn't inspire loyalty to the bar. There's a place for political flags in a bar. On the side of a super major highway where you should be making tons of money is not one of them. Then the owner, whose also the chef, came out from the kitchen and was bemoaning the fact that she couldn't hire anyone. And I was baffled because #1 the bartender can't even spare a word for new customers #2 politics have a time and place and #3 maybe don't complain to customers that you can't hire anyone when your bar has a sign of a rooster in a dogs mouth that says "the only thing in a bitches mouth should be a cock." read more

Stopped randomly on our way through, burgers are crazy huge and delicious, I can say possibly the best burger I've had all year, so yes the price might seem a touch high but it's worth it, kids had the cod basket, also delicious. Nice country pure American heartland kind of place. City folks are probably the only ones leaving a negative review, definitely not for yuppies! read more

The 605 Restaurant & Bar - Part of the regular size "1/2" pound burger, I'd guess was at least 3/4 pound before being cooked - New American Near Me - Kennebec, South Dakota

On the bike from the east coast. Could not have been more satisfied with the location to our camp, the quality of food (all fresh not frozen) and the host. Tammie puts her blood sweat and tears into making something small stay huge and boastful in such a remote area. Take a chance on her and her menu. I know the outside looks simple - but that's due to the high winds ripping through the area. Come take a peek.. eat a burger. Best one in a great good while. You will NOT be disappointed. #supportsmall read more

A good place to get an amazing burger served by friendly and welcoming people. Service was excellent. Would definitely go back there when in the area. read more

Driving across country with 4 adults and 6 kids and we were looking for food for a couple hours. We were so pleased to find the 605 open and they had some of the best burgers we've ever had! It was Mother's Day at like 930pm and we loved that the kids could play pool and we could relax. The drinks were great too! Definitely will be back if in the area again! read more

Coming back home after a long road trip and was struggling to find any food that wasn't some chain Subway or Arby's. Found this little gem right off the highway and honestly? Best burgers we have had EVER. The wait was a little long but for the quality of the food, it was worth it. Before I get too far I will say that the general environment is very Trump supporting, take that as however you feel but if you're more politically inclined(The Trump flags are the reason for a lost star, not once did the staff ever say or act inappropriately). Aside from the right winged decor the atmosphere was very homey with plenty of things to catch your interest and make you feel like welcomed. The owners were incredibly nice, even when my cousin made her odd request for her burger(lettuce, tomato, and onion of a mushroom and Swiss burger(I know, she's always been weird)). The food was amazing, a whole half pound burger-hand made with fries and a drink is worth the "high" price. Afterwards we asked the lovely lady about the meat, curious if any of the millions of acres of farm land around might supply the beef. The owner happily told us the beef wasn't frozen and was all locally sourced from the nearby ranches. With that she also has her own secret spice blend that she adds while cooking. Overall an amazing meal, hopefully this little diner will get some more traction. read more

Not sure what to say here, I have to give them props for trying to bring something interesting and fun to this little town in the middle of nowhere basically. But I think there are several public health violations that might need to be addressed, and after seeing the salad bar, I was a little hesitant to eat the food I ordered. The salad bar: Wilty iceberg in a plastic (non food safe) shoe box sitting on Melting ice and the 3 bean salad sizzled in my mouth on the first bite (it's been around for a while I guess). We ordered steaks, over cooked of course, very plain with basically no flavor. Baked potato was undercooked. Staff was not pleasant and our waitress was pretty much non existent and definitely needs some training if she plans on continuing to be a waitress. Dark, and disorganized. Could be a better place. read more

Who would think the best food came from a little hometown diner/bar! I read all the triggered reviews from some Trump haters but He was good for me so if they openly support him I will support the 605 . We will be back! read more

Summary: dark, disorganized, rude to the community, avoid! On our way to the KOA campground down the street, just staying one night, I searched online to see if there were any restaurants in town. Just one, but their Facebook page said grand opening celebration from 4-12 (though open since the spring apparently?)! Cool, it was 7:30, and we were up for face painting or live music or a fun family friendly crowd as advertised. I walked in to scope it out before bringing the family in. No music, not even background music, let alone live band. No face painting. Looked like a bar, kind of dark and disorganized. No one welcomed me. Disappointing. I immediately decided we wouldn't eat there. I asked for a take out menu and there wasn't one but I took a look at the menu. Food is probably fine, I'd guess. But we skipped it and ate at the campground. And then, around 8:30, the OUTDOOR live music started. Loud. From a half mile away, so loud that I was sure my kids and I would be kept awake if it went past a normal quiet time hour of 10pm. Uh oh. I asked the campground host and he said the city officials had talked to the restaurant last time this happened and there is no city noise ordinance for them to enforce. So I called the restaurant and they confirmed that the band would go until midnight. Because that's a way to build your brand and ensure community goodwill, a shrieky loud Highway to Hell in my ears while my toddlers and I are trying to sleep at 10:15pm. They argued defensively ad angrily when I suggested that this was not a wise or kind plan for endearing themselves to the area. What a horrible idea, when 100 families, many with kids, are trying to camp peacefully, on 4th of July weekend no less, to have a raucous screamy outdoor concert right outside, all night long. What a terrible attitude, a complete disregard for the neighborhood. This campground should have been the built in daily audience of this restaurant. But apparently they do NOT care about campers at ALL. Right now it's 10:30pm and I'm sitting here awake with my kids and the rest of the campground wishing I had never heard of Kennebec, SD. Contemplating packing up and trying to sleep in my van with the kids, or just leaving town. I certainly will never be stopping in this town again. I hope the campground owners can successfully get the city to pass an ordinance to get this restaurant to show some respect to their community since they have no inclination to do so on their own. Until then, I encourage you to skip this place if you have any other option available. And I encourage the owners to rethink their business plan to work with the existing community. Including the campground. read more

We weren't sure what to make of the restaurant going in, but we were pleasantly surprised! My husband got the patty melt, which was delicious, and I had a grilled chicken salad. The chicken was great and the greens were fresh! A good stop if you are going through on 90! read more
