Food & Drink

In South Dakota, we know good food. Being an agricultural state means it’s easy to source the freshest ingredients and provide the best variety. From our big foodie cities like Sioux Falls and Rapid City to small towns with surprisingly great dining scenes, like Deadwood and Watertown, there are endless culinary possibilities to discover.

Enjoy traditional meat-and-potatoes staples and flavorful masterpieces handcrafted by some of the finest chefs in the world. Our Scandinavian, German, Dutch and Indigenous ancestries influence the restaurants in South Dakota in the tastiest of ways. Picky eating isn’t a problem here — even the most selective palates will find something to love. And don’t leave without visiting South Dakota’s breweries for top-shelf craft beer to wash it all down.
