Best Places to Eat in Deadwood, South Dakota

Deadwood's name belies its small-town charm. Steeped in a storied Gold Rush history and located in South Dakota’s Black Hills region, this scenic town derives its name from the discovery of dead trees in a nearby canyon. Despite this misnomer, Deadwood holds its own in terms of offerings, particularly in the culinary realm. From steakhouses to burgers and sandwiches, the town is proud to offer a variety of top-notch American dining options worth exploring. 


Begin your culinary adventure in Deadwood at one of the town's oldest and most iconic steakhouses which has the word "legend” built into its name. The Deadwood Legends Steakhouse was built during the town's Gold Rush heyday, catering to ambitious miners who came here in search of the coveted metal. 


Part of the historic Silverado Franklin Hotel, it continues to serve delicious meals while harkening back to its glorious past with framed photographs of former patrons, including legends such as Babe Ruth, Theodore Roosevelt, and Buffalo Bill, to name a few. Come for the delicious food and leave with a sense of Gold Rush nostalgia.


If you want to try more steak options without all of the drama, go to Maverick's or FLYT in town for an early dinner or lunch. While Maverick's serves signature steak meals alongside a variety of delectable cocktails, FLYT serves elegant meals in an equally elegant setting, along with classic entrees, salads, and burgers.


Those looking for a more entertaining night out should check out Mustang Sally's, a divey sports bar in town that also has casino-style slot machines for some light and fun gambling. Game nights are shown on a number of flat-screen televisions. All of this can be enjoyed while eating a classic American cheeseburger, mini corn dogs, or, even better, a hearty chicken sandwich with fries.


Stop by the Buffalo Bodega Gaming Complex for an old-fashioned experience that lets you enjoy the best that Deadwood's famed legacy has to offer. This American saloon first opened its doors in 1877 and has since entertained patrons with its classic ambiance, scrumptious steak meals, and now, casino stations. Another fun fact about this bar is that it was named for the owner’s good friend, iconic American huntsman Buffalo Bill. 


Despite the fact that Deadwood has a number of excellent American restaurants, it also has some fine-dining establishments that are ideal for a romantic night out or a special occasion dinner. Deadwood Grille is a great place to go for a sophisticated dinner. This intimate and elegant restaurant, located at The Lodge at Deadwood, has a rather limited menu but offers some splendid options such as walleye, scallops, and filet mignon.


Another option is the Snitches restaurant on Main Street, a swish eatery that serves inventive fare such as Lemon Herb Salmon and Soy Ginger Airline Chicken in quirky yet stylish gigs. The Deadwood Social Club, a northern Italian steakhouse, Dale's for casual fine dining, and Jacobs Brewhouse for healthy and innovative meals in a historic setting are all similar upscale options.
