The Red Rock Restaurant (506 Glenn St., 605/279-2388, year-round daily 11 a.m.–9 p.m., lunch $7–9, dinner $11–20) is a family-style restaurant that serves pies, soups, and salads—all made from scratch. Favorite menu items include the delicious broasted chicken and prime rib dinners, which are served every Friday and Saturday night. Beer and wine are available.
The Cactus Cafe & Lounge (519 Main St., 605/279-2561, year-round daily 6 a.m.–9:30 p.m., breakfast $7, lunch $9, dinner $9–20) is the place to go for a cocktail, steak, and salad bar. The restaurant is located across the street from Wall Drug.
The Wall Drug Cafe (510 Main St., 605/279-2175, www.walldrug.com, June–Aug. daily 6:30 a.m.–9:30 p.m., Sept.–May daily 7 a.m.–5 p.m., breakfast $7, lunch $8, dinner $12) offers cafeteria-style dining and seats over 500 people. It’s not fancy, but there are some great choices. In the morning, the cake donuts are especially delicious, as are the pecan rolls. The hot roast beef sandwich is as good a sandwich as you’ll find anywhere. While you have your meal, take time to enjoy the huge collection of American West–themed art displayed on the walls.
