We went with a party of 12. (We called ahead to reserve days in advance) they took our orders in a fairly reasonable amount of time and that’s where the good ended. 1/2 of the food was served and they didn’t realize the second 1/2 wasn’t delivered until they came back to check in the quality of the food that was already served. Then it took an additional 45 min to get the rest of the food out. They’ve been open long enough to have this sorted out, good news though they offered us a drink chip!
Amazing REAL smoked brisket. Now I know some people have said brisket was not screaming hot, but here's the truth. Brisket is not to be served hot like a steak. When pulled from a smoker it needs to rest. It's during this time that the magic really happens. It was nice and warm flavor was out of this world. Had cheese curds Potato salad was good as well. Bloody Mary was great. Im a simple man who likes simple but quality things and they did all this very well. From order to eat was about 18 minutes. Atmosphere was very nice. BEAUTIFUL BAR!!!
I have found my favorite dish at The BBQ Shack Bar and Grill. My husband and I stopped in for dinner, and the Chislic Beef on the menu caught my eye. The menu says it's a South Dakota favorite ... and it's now my favorite. A half pound of bite-sized pieces of choice beef tips flash fried, served on a bed of signature sauce and topped with crispy onion straws. It was absolutely delicious. It's shown as an appetizer on the menu, but can easily be a meal. My husband ordered a smash burger, a fan favorite, and a cup of homemade stuffed green pepper soup fresh from the kitchen which tasted like home. The barbecue sauces at the table top it all off. They are an adventure in flavor, just how hot can we go? The Shack is a definite thumbs up.
What a great place! Owners did a lot of work to upgrade the building. Food is always amazing and the staff is always smiling wether they are slammed busy or slow. Mistakes happen don't let the few bad reviews deter you. I have been coming to the bbq shack since they were at the old location and I am so happy to see them expand and doing a fantastic job at it!
We had a reservation for a group of 12. 2 groups cache in after our orders were taken and got their food before us. Our food took forever and came out in multiple shifts. Half the table was done eating when the waitstaff figured out the other half of the table didn't even get their orders made by the hack cook. The food was decent but I wouldn't recommend the restaurant to anyone.
