Great experience, although I do suggest reservations. We luckily only had a party of two, if that hadn't been the case I would not have had the honor of giving this review. My mother and I went there because we heard the BBQ was good, and I love a good brisket. We sat at the bar where we had a couple drinks and ordered our dinner from an awesome bartender. It turns out that by the time I placed my brisket order the kitchen had run out, disappointing. Luckily Canyon Grille is known for more than BBQ and ordered a steak. I didn't want the usual carbie sides and the bartender suggested the "BRUSSEL SPROUTS"!! Who wants brussel sprouts, YOU DO IF YOU TRY THEM! I said yes to his recommendation and have been telling everyone I can about it sense, I sound like a broken record. I am a MEAT guy and It was amazing, but the sprouts were over the top. I am almost ashamed to admit it.

Very good food, reasonably priced as were the drinks. Beautiful view of the mountains overlooking the golf course. Our server, Emily said she was new but was friendly and I feel was a very good server. Highly recommend this restaurant.

The brisket nachos were absolutely top tier! My husband and I shared an order on the outside patio while looking out over the Black Hills after a day of sightseeing. Live music at just the right volume and an excellent cocktail menu. This place was a gem!

GATHER AND DINE IN THE HEART OF THE BLACK HILLS

Canyon Grille redefines dining in the Black Hills with a menu and setting that celebrate the region’s best.

Nestled just minutes from the historic towns of Sturgis and Deadwood, SD, alongside the Boulder Canyon Golf Club’s 11th fairway, Canyon Grille brings a fresh, locally-inspired dining experience to the Black Hills. From hand-cut steaks, chops, and gourmet burgers to savory salads and authentic Texas-style BBQ (smoked in-house and served until it sells out), Canyon Grille is the area’s go-to destination for exceptional food and warm hospitality.

Farm-to-table ingredients, signature cocktails, and local craft beers in a relaxed setting with sweeping canyon views make Canyon Grille the perfect spot to gather with friends, grab a bite before and after a round of golf, or unwind after a day in the Hills.

“Our vision for Canyon Grille is simple: to create a place where people feel welcome the moment they walk in. We’re passionate about great food, but even more passionate about the experience that surrounds it – the laughter, the views, the warmth of genuine hospitality. From a perfectly grilled steak or a plate of Texas-style BBQ to a cold beer after a round of golf, we want The Canyon Grille to feel like the kind of place you look forward to coming back to again and again.”

— Marlon and Camille McMakin, Proprietors

At Canyon Grille, Quality Begins at the Source

We proudly partner with trusted producers who share our passion for sustainability, freshness, and flavor, bringing guests an authentic taste of the region with every bite. Everything we fry and sear is cooked in real beef tallow, never seed oils. It is how cooks did it before shortcuts, and it is why our fries, our onion rings, and the crust on our steaks taste the way they do. You’ll notice in the first bite.

Our Deadwood, SD Restaurant is Designed for Every Occasion

Canyon Grille offers a welcoming atmosphere perfect for a casual lunch, romantic dinner, or lively gathering with friends and family. Guests can relax in a cozy booth, grab a seat at the bar, or enjoy outdoor dining on our covered patio or 15,000-square-foot lawn overlooking the course and the Black Hills National Forest.

During the summer, our weekly live music performances from top local and regional artists add to the ambiance, creating a dining experience that’s as entertaining as it is memorable. Whether day or night, the scenery of Boulder Canyon will provide the perfect backdrop.

Conveniently located just ten minutes from Sturgis and Deadwood, SD, and only thirty minutes from Rapid City, Canyon Grille is an extraordinary escape – where great food, great company, and great views come together.
