Burgers, fries and curds were by far the best I’ve had in the area. Fry sauce is really good, different but my daughter and I loved it. Wife and son loved the house made ranch. I had the double badlands burger with grilled jalapeños and pepper jack cheese, while everyone else had the regular cheeseburger as it comes. Will definitely be back and recommend to others. Killer job!

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

We both had a burger and it was absolutely amazing. The Smashburger made from Wagyu beef was perfect! On top of that, we both got a side. I had the beef tallow fries and my partner had the cheese curds. I also added a side of bacon jam and the fry sauce. This food was some of the best tasting food I’ve ever had! I highly recommend visiting

Absolutely impressed! First off, the service was so friendly and helpful, they made me feel at home right as I walked in the door. Eager to explain the specials and patient as I picked what to have. Food was incredible! Steak was a quality cut of beef, cooked perfectly. Tender, juicy, flavorful, and not loaded down with sauce or toppings, and just let the meat speak for itself. Top notch. I've had steaks at 3x the price that wasn't nearly as good! Tallow fries are lightly crispy, full of flavor, and were so delicious they didn't even need the sauce (though the sauce was great too). Mashed potatoes were clearly homemade, slightly chunky mash, and the gravy smothered on top was smooth and not overly peppered. Portions were generous, and I left full and very satisfied. Price was super reasonable. I expected to pay more, and got more than I expected. Delightful place to stop for a filling meal after a long day driving and exploring the Dakotas. Cannot recommend it enough, and will absolutely return on my next stay in town!
