Dakotah Steakhouse<\/h2>\n
1325 North Elk Vale Road, Rapid City, SD 57703
\n(605) 791-1800<\/p>\n
Named \u201cThe Best Restaurant in South Dakota\u201d by MSN and Business Insider, Dakotah Steakhouse<\/a> is known for its 24-ounce bone-in cowboy rib-eye steak. It\u2019s enough for two hungry bikers in and of itself. This place also offers excellent beef and bison steaks and burgers, but the appetizers and sides make Dakotah Steakhouse stand out. You may want to start off with the pheasant poppers, chislic (deep-fried seasoned sirloin bits), or the barbecue buffalo bone. At the end, finish your feast with salted caramel cheesecake, all by the joint\u2019s massive fireplace.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 931 1st Street, Sturgis, SD 57785 This is how the Knuckle Saloon looks when the rally isn’t Sturgis.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Courtesy of City of Sturgis<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n If you want to be ground zero for the rally, you\u2019ll want to eat at The Knuckle Saloon<\/a>. Just follow the delicious smell of fried steak tips down 1st Street. You also need to try the in-house craft beer. The Knuckle Brewing Company of Sturgis competed in the third annual Beer Fest against 47 brewing companies and brought home gold-medal honors during the sampling event in Rapid City on Saturday, January 17. Everyone attending the event had the opportunity to sample glasses of more than 60 craft beers and 122 other beer varieties. The company\u2019s Knucklehead Red claimed the gold, and its Rally Town Maple took third place honors to boot. That\u2019s not too bad for a bar that had only been crafting beer for six months!<\/p>\n 12203 Nemo Road, Nemo, SD 57759 Jon Van Patten serves up killer barbecue outside of Sturgis during the rally.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Courtesy of City of Sturgis<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Nemo Road Barbecue<\/a> may be the best-kept culinary secret in Sturgis. It\u2019s not in a town; it\u2019s not even a restaurant. Owner\/operator Jon Van Patten only operates it during the Sturgis bike event. Located along a wooded stretch of Nemo Road well outside of town, his open-air operation only sees a couple of hundred people each rally. It\u2019s a simple setup of a grill, smoker, supply area, and a table or two to take a break from the crowds.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 420 Cliff Street, Deadwood, SD 57732 Deadwood’s Chubby Chipmunk Hand-Dipped Chocolates: the apology your SO gets for not bringing them with you to Sturgis.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Courtesy of City of Sturgis<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n There are many things you expect to see at a bike event; a chocolatier that\u2019s been featured in Grammy Award gift boxes isn\u2019t one of them. Yet, that\u2019s exactly what you\u2019ll find at Chubby Chipmunk Hand-Dipped Chocolates<\/a> in Deadwood. Mary \u201cChip\u201d Tautkus is the nurse-turned-entrepreneur behind this place. When she started baking chocolate from a Betty Crocker cookbook at age five, I doubt she dreamed of using the stuff to pay her way through nursing school, let alone go full time with a chocolate shop run out of a converted 1930s gas station.<\/p>\n 305 North 27th Street, Spearfish, SD 57783 Lucky’s 13 in nearby Spearfish gets into the spirit of the Sturgis rally.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Courtesy of City of Sturgis<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Lucky\u2019s 13<\/a> gets busy during the rally but not to the point where you\u2019re going to wait forever to grab a beer or order a meal. The pub has plenty of seating available. Regulars visit several times throughout their trip, not just once. When you have homemade tater tots that are essentially fried, loaded baked potatoes, in-house pizza rolls, and meat cooked on a wood-fired churrascaria grill, people will come. In 2009, the owners decided to do a complete remodel, and in 2010 Lucky\u2019s 13 Pub was born. Nowadays, Lucky\u2019s 13 Pub combines music, sports, and nightly promos with good food. The portions are huge too. If you and your sweet tooth find yourself there for breakfast, try the Frosted Flakes French toast.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 744 Main Street, Spearfish, SD 57783 Stadium Sports Grill offers killer steak tips.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Courtesy of City of Sturgis<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Stadium<\/a> marinates its chunks of tender beef in its secret sauce, breads them, and fries them to a perfect golden brown. You can even get them rare and light on the batter. They\u2019re so good, in fact, that you should ride to one of its locations in Spearfish, Belle Fourche, or Madison just to try the tips. They\u2019re unbelievable. Stadium also sells them in a variety of configurations. Try the small and dinner portions for one or the macho size with fries or kettle chips for up to four ravenous bikers.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 1305 Main Street, Sturgis, SD 57785 Sturgis’ own Loud American Roadhouse gettin’ busy for the rally.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Courtesy of City of Sturgis<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Nearly 70 percent of Loud American\u2019s tickets have at least some kind of steak tip order on them. The Loud American Roadhouse<\/a> opened in the summer of 2001. Its concept is based around the local flavor of the area, the rich history of Sturgis, and motorcycle enthusiasts and live music. The only way the joint could be more biker-friendly is if it actually had an on-duty Harley mechanic. Steak tips are its tasty salute to the local cattle industry and its way to showcase a specialty that tourists don\u2019t see all over the country.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 677 Main Street, Deadwood, SD 57732 Burgers and sandwiches are staples of Diamond Lil’s in Deadwood.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Courtesy of City of Sturgis<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n The Midnight Star Casino<\/a> is a Kevin Costner fan\u2019s Disneyland. He bought the place years ago and it\u2019s coated in memorabilia from his movies. Diamond Lil\u2019s is its bar and grill. Typical wait time during the rally is a half hour. Try early mornings or later evenings and you might get a shorter wait. Breakfast is good here, but my personal favorite is the Alex Marshall\u2019s Reuben sandwich. Piled high with turkey pastrami, sauerkraut, Swiss, and thousand island dressing, it goes great with a draft beer.<\/p>\n 2315 Mount Rushmore Road, Rapid City, SD 57701 Serving delicious American cuisine prepared fresh daily, this Rapid City restaurant brings a flair for exceptional dining that\u2019s perfect for all occasions and ages. Serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner, the Colonial House<\/a> also offers lighter-size portions. The place is known for its mouthwatering caramel rolls and a renowned bakery helmed by a certified pastry chef. Thirsty? Belly up to a full bar serving everything from tap beer to barrel wine to specialty drinks like mimosas and bloody Marys. From pastas, steaks, and salads to barbecue and bakery, these \u201ccooks with fire\u201d truly sizzle.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 709 Main Street, Deadwood, SD 57732The Knuckle Saloon<\/h2>\n
