No Assigned Seating
You heard that right. We don't believe in caging you to a table or chair. Roam the Dawg. Commune. All on your terms!
We Support Local Ranchers!
All of our Beef and Bison products are sourced from local ranchers and are naturally fed. Grass. Sun. Water. That's it! No corn, no hormones, no feedlots. Just what God gave us!
I need an option for 10 stars. Do not sleep on Prairie Dog. The atmosphere is great, owners and staff are over the top friendly, but the food is the real star. Pizza and cheesesteak were both phenomenal. Hands down some of the best food in the Black Hills.

Go here, seriously. My favorite dining experience in years. The owners are there running the place and their passion clearly shows. The pizza was amazing. The beer selectio that you can pour yourself, amazing. We went with our 9 and 6 year old, there are some old school arcade games, board games, some adult beer games like bags and ring hook. There’s outside seating near a creek. Why are you still reading this!? Do yourself a favor and go.
