Why Battle Lines When You Can Battle Hunger?

At Prairie Dog Taproom in Hill City SD, great food shouldn’t feel like a bad sitcom. Whether you’re creekside dodging prairie dog paparazzi, dancing to live music like nobody’s judging (they are), or cozy on a backyard blanket pretending it’s a picnic and not a mosquito buffet—we’ve got 3 friction-free ways to order. Because waiting in line is for amateurs, and your time is precious (or at least more valuable than staring at the back of someone’s head).

We pioneered QR ordering + text notifications in the Black Hills back in 2022. Now? Zero hassle, maximum giggles.
