    Default Places to eat or visit during your ride in the Black Hills.

    Starting a new thread here. We often get questions as to where is a good place to eat by people visiting the Hills, so I'm going to attempt to list a few of our favorites that may be less known, along with pictures, a website link, and location and area links. This will be a work in progress. So many places to eat, so little time.

    Here goes the first one. On the way to Mt. Rushmore from Rapid City on Hwy 16, in the ghost town of Rockerville is the Gaslight. Here are a few links:

    They often have live music in the evenings. This night it was old country and Bluegrass.

    As long as your here, S. Rockerville rd is the back way to Mt. Rushmore. https://goo.gl/maps/zUaa4rkfqz6m56UHA You will end up coming into Keystone from the east. In this video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_EIrg3pUAc you are catching it at the 4:21 mark, where it comes off Neck Yoke rd, about a mile or less South of Rockerville.

    Another if you like Mexican, one of the better ones (authentic) IMHO. This is on Hwy 44 West of Rapid City.

    Just a short ride East of Johnson's Siding through Rimrock Canyon. This Canyon often gets overlooked.

    https://goo.gl/maps/Wh77fGwPWFNmELzKA this is a scenic route from Sturgis through Vanocker Canyon, down Nemo rd, then across Norris peak rd to Highway 44 at Johnsons Siding.

    Ice Cream. After a long day riding you need Ice Cream. It's near downtown in Rapid City, but when you see the lines, you'll understand why it made the list.

    As long as your in Rapid City, Skyline Drive might be worth the ride, especially during the evening. You can see all the way to the Badlands to the East.

    Guadalajara (Spearfish). This one and the one in Pierre are the two originals. The ones in Keystone and Deadwood are satellites that came along recently and IMHO not as good. It is on old hwy 14, so might be a good place to stop on the way back from doing the Devils Tower loop. https://goo.gl/maps/ese1gJTgRk8qFmbE8

    A new place is Sturgis that just opened before the Sturgis Rally. Just off I90 and Junction Avenue (Vanocker Canyon exit). Really cool interior without feeling crowded. Had the flatbread pizza and a local beverage. Rode up Vanocker Canyon from Nemo https://goo.gl/maps/jzuDRuW2uMvGAFoZ9

    This used to be Slate Creek Grill in Hill City before it got totaled in a fire. Now is a Pizza place that serves stone fired Pizza and pasta. Has an outdoor deck that overlooks main street. A good ending to this ride: https://youtu.be/79CBEBWSg8k

    Another one to try, this one is accross from Reptile Gardens, you see it off to the left on this video https://youtu.be/0_EIrg3pUAc at the 2:23 minute mark, on this route: https://goo.gl/maps/xP3oLHSxca9wZ84M8

    Has an outdoor deck, live music, and pretty good food.

    One of our must visits is Lee Street Diner in Deadwood. Green chili breakfast burrito is GREAT!

    one of the best steaks in all of the Black Hills is in Deadwood .... Legends Steakhouse in the basement of the Franklin Hotel across from Silverado on the "strip". They don't open until 5pm and there is usually a line waiting to get in.

    Ate at the Gaslight my last trip up there. Food was great, but had a fairly long wait to get in.

    Press start in Rapid City. Good pizza, great burgers and walk around downtown and meet the residents.

    Almost of all my rides contain a planned stop, where I get a feed and fuel if necessary, and the comfort stop.

    Always great to share experiences for others.

    HI ALL. I was stationed near Rapid City in the late 60s and early 70s. Had a friend (lost touch) that owned Trout Haven. Tom would let my son catch trout and would cook them up in his restaurant. Don't know if it is still there. Was very good back them.

    There are actually a few in the hills, the most popular maybe is on Hwy 385 north of the Silver City turnoff by the Sugar Shack.
