There was a BBQ resturaunt in the Holy Terror in Keystone two years ago that had great food and piled the plate with enough chow that doggy bags were the norm. The place was always packed. Unfortunatly due to one partner in the business cleaning out the bank account and skipping country ,the place folded.

But now there is another BBQ resturaunt opening in the same place this year.

A new raised platform on the back of the building for the BBQ grill/smoker was just installed a couple of days ago along with a new grill/smoker. Another BBQ resturaunt down the hill in Rapid City should do well . To the best of my knowledge ,other than a Mongolian BBQ , there are no other BBQ joints in Rapid. As long as the food is tastey and the prices not crazy , An American (be it Chi Town , Looseyanna , Texas ,etc.style) BBQ resturaunt in Rapid should do well all year long, since Rapid is growing and has enough year round population to easily support a BBQ joint that serves good chow.

If you build it and the food is yummy , they will come.
