Reviews for Alpine Inn in Hill City, SD
Great place to stay with comfortable rooms and amazing food! Beautiful place to relax after a long day of adventuring! (Only... taking off a star on location because the outside stairs to get into the "inn" part of the Alpine Inn are pretty steep and coulddefinitely be risky if icy. No problems for us whatsoever, but if you're not good with a lot of stairs then this might not beyour best option.) Read more
The food here was great and the service was excellent. They let us in after the lunch rush and didn't rush us out the door even... though they were clearly preparing for dinner service. Fairly authentic German food and overall a great experience. Read more
The restaurant was very dark as if they were trying to hide things. The wait time was fairly long for single item menu which I... will return in a bit. Nearly a hour wait to be seated for half empty restaurant. There was no menu because for this evening,they only served filet mignon and I think I've heard some sort of dumpling maybe. They served this delicate cut of meat in 6 or9oz sizes for $13 bucks. It was not filet mignon and every guests whom knows this cut of meat stated the same. That being said,it was delicious for what it was. They're version of salad was uncut lettuce covered in mayo. The waitress was rude and neveroffered napkins with our meals and clearly didn't like when I said "no menu in a restaurant? " the place was charming and thefood we had was good other than my daughter swallowed a piece of plastic from her meal. I didn't take pictures of food as Iusually do in my reviews because how dark the dining room was and didn't want to disturb other guests. I couldn't leave tipbecause if I have to pour my own water, use my sleeves as napkins and rude behavior from a waitress, I'll keep my hard earnedmoney for me. I leave between 20-200% tip but never have I ever left a restaurant without tipping a server. I'll leave one tiphere for the blond server with very very heavy makeup. Be kind to guests please. Your paycheck and business depends on it.Especially for a tourist town. Read more
This was well worth the wait on a busy weekend. The filet was perfectly tender and delicious! The brownie and ice cream dessert... finished a perfect meal. Loved the style inside, like an old world elegance, but still welcoming to travelers and park wearyguests. Service was excellent also. Best filet we can remember! Read more
We did not stay at three Inn but only ate at the restaurant. Service was great but the wait was an hour and that's normal... midweek. However the restaurant is known for only one meal entree each evening which is bacon-wrapped filet mignon. 9 oz foronly $16 including the whole meal. Cash only. Excellent. Worth the wait. The dessert menu however is two pages long and equallyas wonderful. We went back the next night just for dessert and were able to order from the bar with no wait. Read more
Review for restaurant only, as I did not stay here. Have been to Alpine Inn for the steak dinner several times now on trips to... the area with friends. Great filet mignon for an amazing low price. You would pay two to three times this much for a similarsteak at most steak house restaurants. The service has been very good every time and we are always a large group of 12 to 18people. The desserts are fantastic and large. This is not the best filet mignon I've had, but it is very good and better thanmany I have paid a lot more money for. Get there early to reserve your spot or you will not get in because it is so popular. Beaware that they ONLY accept cash. No credit cards. No exceptions. They do have an ATM in the restaurant.

This is the second time we've eaten here and both times we had a great experience. This time we had the bratwurst and the pork... schnitzel. Both were very good. The spetzel, sauerkraut, cabbage, and onions were excellent accompaniments. We also tried theGerman potato salad and it was very good. Portion sizes are fairly large too. Service was excellent. After eating all that wetried a couple of desserts. It was a mistake. We couldn't finish them. The warm chocolate cake with ganache (really chocolatesyrup) was excellent. The chocolate mouse was just ok. My one complaint: cash only. Read more
I have always loved this place! Food is consistently good. I love their ranch dressing and that's saying a lot because I don't... typically like ranch (so not Midwestern of me, I know). Highly recommend. Read more
