The warm wooden digs and lively vibe make it a proper escape in Watertown, SD, though the only drawback is the constant buzz of chatter drowning out what should be some good ol' Dropkick Murphys tunes. I was particularly impressed by the great pastrami on homemade rye--tender, tangy meat stacked high on fresh-baked bread that could make even a New Yorker do a happy jig. Their bartenders are absolute gems, slinging drinks and banter with the charm of seasoned storytellers who somehow remember your name after one visit. One quirky touch is how the floors creak underfoot, like they're gossiping about all the pints spilled before you. Strangely enough, the soup of the day was tequila, a boozy curveball that had the whole place toasting with confused delight and empty bowls. The house brews hold their own, pairing like old friends with the hearty grub. All in all, Dempsey's is a witty, wonderful Watertown, SD gem.

A motorcycle gathering had closed the street outside, so we felt very lucky to get a seat when we did. The tap list here is impressive. I was thrilled that they had so many ciders to choose from, including several from one of my favorite cideries, 2 Towns. My husband was happy to have one of his favorite imports, Kilkenny, which is hard to find in the US, and followed it up with a local beer from Fernson, Ears Up. We started off with a South Dakota specialty, Chislic. I asked our server if it was more authentic grilled or fried, and she said grilled. They were really good! My husband had the Bourbon Bacon Burger with garlic fries. He really enjoyed it. I snagged a fry and it was tasty, with bold garlic. I had the pork tacos. These were not small street tacos, but very filling full-size tacos. A bit messy, but our server left us plenty of napkins. When she came by to ask if we needed anything more, we asked for the check. She said it'd be right out, and asked if we'd like free mini cupcakes as a thank you. She commented they'd been short staffed. I must say, everyone in there was working hard (the boss came by to check with us several times) and we have no complaints, only compliments. We then shared two mini cupcakes, one vanilla and one red velvet. It was a sweet ending to a really great meal.

My husband, daughters and I decided we wanted to try to find something in between Brookings and…read moreMarshall - to meet up with our College student. We found the Humble Pig Smokery on Google and decided to take a chance, hoping it wasn't some "Famous Dave's" knock-off. With my husbands career, we move around about every 2-3 years, so we've lived down South where smoked meats and barbecue is the flavors to beat. And because I grew up in the Midwest, I will be honest, I was not expecting much. We were met with smiles, even though we showed up less than an hour before they closed. The owners politely waited for us to make up our minds on which meat, sides, and barbecue sauce. The cost was very reasonably priced, to my amazement! And then we all sat down at a clean table, mouths watering, to sample our fares. Our first bites were greeted with smokiness, sweet and juicy flavors of a tender cut that we have not had in quite some time. The meals were served on trays, lined neatly with parchment paper. The Macaroni and Cheese with Brisket satisfied our Mac'n'Cheese connoisseur, who has been making her own for the last 8 years including her own combination of seasonings. She did not share. -.- The Brisket sandwich was served on a bun that held the contents, not soaking up juices and becoming soggy. The Coleslaw was a nice mayo-based, creamy surprising taste that is not traditional in my book (although I cannot stand vinegar based coleslaw or bbq sauce), but was pleasing to the palette and complimented the main dish. And because I enjoy my slaw with my sandwich, it was promptly dumped on the meat and topped with the bun. The Brisket Nachos for our oldest consisted of a tender, juicy beef brisket served on top of tortilla chips, with black olives, shredded cheese, salsa, and cheese queso (she omitted jalapenos this time) and was thoroughly enjoyed! The cheese queso had a nice hint of spicy, and then even topped with some of the crafted BBQ Sauce - only found at the Humble Pig Smokery, the entire plate was devoured. We made sure to let them know how pleasantly surprised we were to find such a tasty cuisine only a short drive from our place, in the Midwest of all places! It IS the best in this area! If you have not had a chance to try them, it is worth a drive even from Sioux Falls! They are a 10 out of 10! :) **My husband would say that their cornbread muffins should not contain cinnamon (my guess, possibly a touch of nutmeg as well), but I enjoyed the twist on the classic. And homemade Southern Sweet Tea would take it to a whole 'nother level, but not everyone enjoys that in these parts. Well done Humble Pig Smokery! We'll definitely be back!
