Reviews Summary
Deadwood Social Club offers a unique dining experience with its blend of Northern Italian cuisine and Western ambiance. Diners rave about the flavorful bison dishes, creative vegan options, and extensive drink menu. While some find the prices a bit high, the quality of the food and the historic atmosphere generally lead to a satisfying experience. Service is often praised, though occasional issues like incorrect orders or a less-than-welcoming host have been noted.
"We had an incredible experience at the Social Club! We didn't expect everything to be so good! We chose to go there because it was one of the only places in Deadwood with a vegan option, but our non vegan friends liked it so much, they came back with us the second day!
The harvest bowl was an awesome vegan option. Veggies and grains with a delicious cashew sauce, baked sweet potatoes, and falafels with hummus were ridiculously good! Our friends had steak and walleye, and burgers with fries, and of course they were all delicious as well.
Mike, our server was so good, and they were great about informing us about what was in good and adjusting for our diet. We loved it so much and will definitely go back again!"

"Friendly and efficient. Ribeye was a little on the expensive side, but it was good and properly cooked. There was apparently draft beer available elsewhere in the establishment, but there was none at the bar. Still got a good can of local craft beer."

"Had a reservation at the Social Club Deadwood — lucky us!
First we got seated right next to the restroom (because who doesn’t love the aroma of public toilets with dinner?), and when we dared to ask for another table, the older tattooed hostess made sure we felt the inconvenience. She slammed the menus on the table without a single word. Charming.
Thankfully, our actual waiter was the opposite: friendly, asked how we were doing — probably noticed we were still trying to digest the welcome.
The food? Stellar.
• Bison ribeye was beautifully charred outside, perfectly medium rare inside, melt-in-your-mouth tender.
• Asparagus crisp and full of flavor.
Summary:
If you can survive the warm Deadwood hospitality at the door, you’ll be rewarded with a fantastic steak. Bring a sense of humor."
