Visitors are pleasantly surprised by the variety of cuisine that satisfies a wide array of cravings. Be sure to seek out these culinary treasures of the Black Hills and Badlands. LOCAL FLAVOR Local cooking features inventive dishes that showcase the region’s native bounty, utilizing buffalo, elk and pheasant and providing unique flvors. Most restaurants serve walleye as thick, boneless fill ts. The other Black Hills seafood is rainbow trout. A little butter and a squeeze of lemon is all it takes to enjoy this delicate, white flay meat. CHUCKWAGONS If your focus is on the Old West experience, take in one of the area’s chuckwagon supper and shows. The fare is authentically cowboy, and the music and humor are decidedly Western. The chuckwagons at Circle B, Fort Hays and High Plains Western Heritage Center are the modern-day supper outfis. The Blue Bell Chuckwagon Cookout in Custer State Park includes a hayride sing-along and storytelling experience on the way to an outdoor chuckwagon dinner. ETHNIC FOOD Cultural traditions represented by area restaurants include Chinese, Mexican, Korean, German, Italian, French, Lakota, Thai, Indian, Japanese, Vietnamese and more. Chefs trained in the world’s classic food traditions — from French to Szechwan to the American South — are creating culinary masterpieces in Black Hills bistros and eateries. Be sure to try the area’s delicious blend of cultural traditions. A local favorite, the Indian Taco, is a Mexican-based taco salad built with buffalo meat on top of Indian fry bread, a sweetened dough created by the Lakota Sioux. CASUAL DINING Ask any local where to find the best burger or pizza in the Black Hills and you’re sure to receive a passionate response.
