The Steakhouse

About This Establishment

The Steakhouse in Badlands National Park serves American steakhouse fare in a welcoming, casual, family-friendly setting with a spacious dining room. The ribeye delivers a sturdy crust and a juicy, tender center; the sirloin is also very tender. The loaded baked potato delivers a warm, creamy bite, while the salad bar includes lighter options. On Saturdays, a band keeps the dining room lively and family-friendly.
