In South Dakota, we know good food.

Being an agricultural state means it's easy to source the freshest ingredients—from our big foodie cities like Sioux Falls and Rapid City to smaller mining or farm towns with a surprisingly great dining scene like Deadwood and Watertown.

That makes everything tastes a little better. Enjoy meat-and-potatoes staples and unique culinary masterpieces created by some of the finest chefs in the world. Our Scandinavian, German, Dutch and Native American ancestries influence things in the tastiest of ways. Even the pickiest of palates will find something to love. And don't leave without checking out South Dakotas' breweries for top-shelf craft beer to wash it all down. Search the listings for the perfect way to satisfy your cravings!
