The dinner menu is limited, but the food is superb! We visited this restaurant twice while we were in SD the summer of 2012. People line up an hour before they open in order to get in. I would highly recommend their bread pudding. It is out of this world! I still have not successfully located it online anywhere so... More

Although their dinner menu is limited, it is excellent food for an amazing price. Make sure you save room for their deserts!! After having dinner here numerous times, we decided to stay the night at their Inn which is located above the restaurant. Finally! For once this summer, we were able to enjoy a thoroughly clean room!!! It was spotless!... More

We went to the Alpine Inn for dinner and did not know they only offer two choices, either a 6oz or 9oz filet mignon and a vegetation dish. Thankfully we are both beef eaters! We both got the filet and it was cooked to our liking and we loved it! We were there on a Tuesday night so the wait... More

There is a wait, but the food is unbelievably delicious. Save room for desert. It will be difficult as the portions are very generous. Take the time to read the inn s history on the back of the menu. It was a delightful visit. I can not wait to return.

People complain about the wait, yet it is all over Trip Advisor. Plan to wait :) We did and wound up only waiting 20 mins (we arrived @ 7:20 on a Monday). A few other comments: - great service - all the little shops along Main Street are open so you can go and browse while you wait - limited... More

We arrived about 5 minutes before 5 on a Monday and the line was already to the end of the building (the place doesn't open until 5). It was after 6 before we were seated. I was aware of the limited menu and the cash only policy, so I was okay with that. Once we were seated the service was... More

We reserved a room, drove for 6 hrs, showed up at the scheduled time, hostess says "yeah, sorry the people in the room last nite want to stay again; so there is nowhere for u can't stay here" I tell them we had reservations and drove 6 hrs and that the town is liked booked up. In response I get... More

There was a wait at 1:30pm on a Monday, but it wasn't too long. My wife and I both had German food, which was excellent, and the kids had one of their specialty sandwiches and spaetzle. The real winner was the bread pudding ... one of the best desserts I have ever had. AMAZING.

Just got back from Hill City and had a dinner at the Alpine Inn. We decided to eat there because we saw that someone was drinking Erdinger Bier on the porch area and we were familiar with that bier from our trip to Germany in October and it turned out to be one of our favorite biers. I have to... More
