We stopped here for dinner in between our tour at Wind Cave and Badlands NP. The food was EXCELLENT. The environment is super casual and we were served really fast. I would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a fast and casual but DELICIOUS food experience. We’d definitely recommend to others and come back!

Great pork belly, fries crunchy and delish, sprouts a welcome surprise. The owner was friendly and gracious—and a believer. All reasons to return.

If there were 3 better restaurants in this whole town people would fly in from both coasts on foody pilgrimages to eat in Rapid City. I wish I was as good of a chef as they are. Their brussel sprouts made me ashamed of my cooking and it's a BBQ joint not a brussel sprout joint. Was almost impossible to over sauce the ribs with how good the sauces were.

A great place to grab some bbq! I had the brisket and the pork shoulder and they were both so good! They got some great sauce options too. Definitely stop by and grab a bite!

Rock solid BBQ place in downtown Rapid City. Cheeks and Brisket were fabulous. Prices a bit steep but you need to pay for quality.

Amazing! The buns are homemade and delicious. The BBQ brisket was tender and not dry. Maple bacon Brussels sprouts were yummy. Several choices of sauce at your table. Highly recommend.

This was my first time visiting, and it blew me away! The ribs and brisket were incredibly flavorful and cooked perfectly. Truly amazing food. I’m already wishing they would open a location back home in Wisconsin so I could eat here all the time!
