Minervas Restaurant & Bar 2111 North Lacrosse Street, Rapid City, SD 57701

"Great appetizers, fun atmosphere. Great dinners and the brunches are awesome. We usually go here before a movie. They have a great happy hour food and menu...even if you don’t drink. The tomato bisque soup is one of the all time best I have ever had. We also enjoy their specialty seasonal menus. Their Cajun food is delectable as well!"

"Awesome place! I definitely was skeptical since it was attached to a hotel, but the place was nice. The salad bar was awesome. I got the Potato Walleye. It was perfectly flavored and flaky, but it had some bones. The Butterscotch Marshmallow Bread Pudding was good."

"I haven't reviewed in a while, and my visit last night to Minervas was just what I needed to get excited about local dining again. Normally, I hesitate when I see a restaurant located in a hotel. This was totally unjustified as it was one of the best experiences I've had in the region. Artichoke dip- perfectly chunky, walleye-criped to perfection, whiskey sirloin- beat all the other steakhouses in the area. Bread pudding- exceptionally soggy. We went to watch NCAA basketball and sat at the bar. The bartender was incredibly hospitable, and thankfully, the full menu was available. The tap selection is quite diverse as well. Will be going back asap"

"Hard one to judge fairly because I received my soup only a minute before my entree. As a slow eater this was a pretty big bummer because it meant I ate most of the meal cold. Still giving full stars because it seemed like an honest mistake and having been a server I know how hard it can be to manage timings of dishes when you switch from really busy to slow. Other service was great, the place was clean and put together, the food was incredibly good. Got some meat soup and the steak tips. Fantastic."

"Was beginning to think it's tough to find a good restaurant in Rapid city since its chock full of fast food places, but once again Google search to the rescue. Really liked Minervas, Our server, Jake, was one of the nicest people you could hope to meet. A very nice dining experience. Cajun Chicken was on point as were their deserts (Creme Brulee and a Chocolate Souffle). Wasn't expecting a salad bar and always kind of leery about places that have one. However, this one was top notch. Highly recommended."
