Food & Drink

Whether you choose from one of the dozens of casual dining eateries or prefer a more upscale fine dining atmosphere, we offer an outstanding variety of restaurants, cafes, chuckwagons and supper clubs. Because the Black Hills is a vacation area, dining ambience here is casual and informal. There is not a single restaurant that would presume to require you to wear a coat and tie. A better choice would be a golf shirt and slacks or a nice blouse and fashion jeans.
