At The Prairie Dog Taproom, we believe great food should come with zero hassle and all the good vibes. Whether you’re here to kick back by the creek, dance to live tunes, chill on a cozy blanket in the backyard, or just grab a quick bite between sips, we’ve got your back with three super simple ways to order—because your time is precious and waiting in line is so last season!
Three Ways to Grab Your Grub — Pick Your Perfect Style:
1. Scan, Tap, Relax: Order & Pay on Your Phone
We introduced friction free ordering and text notifications to The Black Hills in 2022. Spot a QR code at your table, the bar, or near the glowing Neon sign at our GuestX Hub. Just scan it, order your favorites, and pay securely right from your phone. Then kick back—when your food’s ready, we’ll shoot you a text. No lines, no interruptions, just pure convenience. Perfect for those who like to keep things smooth and contactless.
2. Order Ahead, Pay Later: Secure Mobile Ordering with In-Person Payment
Want to lock in your meal but prefer to pay face-to-face? No problem! Use the QR code to order ahead and get a text when your food’s hot and ready. Then swing by to pay with cash or card when you pick it up. Flexibility meets convenience—because you do you.
3. Chat & Chow: Order Directly with Our Friendly Guest Ambassadors
Sometimes, you just want to talk food. Our awesome Guest Ambassadors are here to help! Place your order in person, get personalized recommendations, and pay when you pick up at the GuestX Hub. Friendly faces + expert advice = a winning combo.
Why We Keep It This Way: Freedom, Flexibility & Fun for Everyone
At The Prairie Dog Taproom, there’s no assigned seating—grab a spot wherever you feel at home. Lounge inside The cozy Prairie Dog living room, soak up the sun on the patio, browse the merch room, or belly up to the bar. Our ordering system is designed to fit your vibe, not the other way around.
By enabling you to order from your phone or with our Ambassadors, and by sending you a quick text when your food’s ready, we keep the good times flowing without the usual wait or hassle (See the “8 Waits” in our previous Tappedin blog of May 6, 2025).
No lines, no rush, just delicious food, great brews and wines, and a laid-back atmosphere that’s all about YOU.
Come thirsty, come happy, and enjoy food your way at The Prairie Dog Taproom—where good eats meet great times!
