What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Gold Bison Grill is highly praised for its delicious food, particularly bison dishes and Cajun pasta, along with its inviting atmosphere and top-notch service. While most diners have a fantastic experience, a few minor issues like order errors for takeout and an unusually priced kids' ice cream have been noted. Overall, it's a standout choice for a satisfying meal in Rapid City.
"The Gold Bison Grill delivered an outstanding dining experience! I tried the bison short ribs, and they were absolutely delicious—tender, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The roasted Brussels sprouts were equally amazing, with just the right amount of seasoning and a delightful crunch.
The service was impeccable, with a friendly and attentive staff who made sure everything was perfect. The warm and inviting atmosphere added to the overall enjoyment of the meal.
If you’re looking for unique and flavorful dishes, the Gold Bison Grill is a must-visit. I can’t wait to come back and try more from their menu!"

"Went out to eat for a birthday dinner. Everyone loved the food they ordered. The Salmon BLT's were delicious. The aoli tied all of the flavors together perfectly. Next time I order this, I would ask for some on the side so I can have more to put on the sandwich. The Gouda Nachos were delicious as well. I would try both dishes again as soon as possible. Our server was friendly and patient with us as we had a large group and got everyone food to them as ordered."

"Very quiet and warm atmosphere. Romantic type. We ordered a bison steak and bison rib with salads. Lovely bartender as she made us an customised drink"

I really love Gold bisons food. It's always delicious, high quality, and well sized. The Cajun pasta is probably the best thing on the menu. My last order was a bit over seasoned, but I'll give em a pass because they usually nail it. I will definitely still be ordering from here in the future". "French Dip should be advertised as 2 sliders. Never seen a sandwich so small. Roast Beef was really dry as well.". Prime Rib with two eggs, peppers, onions, and mushrooms.
