Served from 11 a.m. to closing. In 1876, Al Swearengen came to Deadwood to stake his claim to fame by opening the notorious Gem Theater.

Our Black Angus Beef is purchased from a reputable supplier and is guaranteed to be USDA Choice or higher and has a minimum of 21 days age on it and is handcut in house. The cuts are consistently flavorful, tender and juicy, surpassing expectations with every bite. We "steak" our reputation on this. All dinners include soup or salad, vegetable of the day, and choice of baked potato, mashed potatoes, garlic mashed potatoes, French fries or fresh fried potato chips. Rare - cold red center Medium Rare - cool pink center Medium - warm pink center Medium Well - warm center with trace of pink Well - no pink center. We cannot guarantee the tenderness of steaks ordered Medium Well or Well Done.
