Food was excellent and staff were friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our meal so much that we went back the next night. The Salmon, Tuscan chicken sandwich, salads and soups were all very tasty and cooked perfectly. I highly recommend this restaurant.

After spending hours wandering the custer state park, I came here or lunch. The food was excellent and well displayed. I had the barbecue pork sandwich and french onion soup, both of which I enjoyed. The staff were attentive and very friendly. The restaurant itself is smallish, but the interior has a fresh, modern appearance as opposed to the old... More

This has been a favorite restaurant of mine for years. It has a very creative menu and an extremely friendly staff. Also, Sage Creek Grill is a wonderful spot to mingle with locals and escape the usual tourist spots. Was there in March and ate lunch there 4 days straight. Fantastic soup menu.

My son and I popped in for lunch on the way back from Custer Park. My son thought the buffalo burger was delicious. It came with some really tasty sauteed new potatoes. They have a nice variety of light items. The decor is simple, but tasteful. I think this is a great and quiet place for lunch. Service was very... More

Great place for good food, special occasions and meeting friends for lunch. No bad experiences, wine selection is excellent and service very friendly. It has the noise and charm of a bistro; occasionally has had music in the evening. This restaurant has been a great place for lots of years and hopefully many more to come.

We ventured to Custer after a day at Mt. Rushmore and Custer State Park for dinner, and enjoyed a very good dinner experience at The Sage Creek Grill. Just a tad pricey, without desert, would be its only shortcoming -- we rated it 4.0 across the board except value, and a 3.9/5.0 overall. We thoroughly enjoyed the Walleye Pike and... More

Had a sandwich of the day special. Grilled chicken with some kind of tasty sauce, and cooked to perfection. Just writing this makes me hungry!

We were wanting good food and a relaxing atmosphere where we could enjoy each other. This was a fabulous place! Servers were friendly, informed, and prompt. Food was really good! We had the Bison Burger and Salmon Melt. The Butternut Squash soup was awesome! They have a good selection of beer and wine as well. This was the ideal place... More

Me and my wife had some salads to go. The food was great, but very expensive I thought. Unfortunately, there are not many options offseason in Custer, and this place is actually ok.

Custer, South Dakota, has few dining choices in October but when our earlier choices were unavailable we went to the Sage Creek Grille. While it has a higher end menu, we opted for the $10 burgers. The Pepper Burger was outstanding. The home fries were seasoned differently than the style of most restaurants, but it was the best option from... More
