    Great food and dog is welcome too

    30+ beers on tap and a great menu with burgers, sandwiches and more. We enjoyed the exterior patio with lots of shade as well.

    Lovely patio and delicious food

    The food was amazing and great service, they even offered water for the dog. The patio was spacious and comfortable. I would recommend it if you want to take your dog with you but not have to get to close to other dogs.

    Great for dogs, good food!

    They brought us two bowls of water for both of our dogs in actual dog bowels!! The waitress was awesome and if your a waffle and chicken person like me it was amazing…fresh cut French fries were amazing and the raspberry cider was delicious. My husband loved his Nachos too. On a side note the bathrooms were clean and nice looking also had legit “charmin” toilet paper!!! Had a wonderful stay. Very nice shaded area for us and the dogs :)

    Very dog friendly.

    They were short staff but they told us that as soon as we got there. We where fine with that. The waiter that help us was great. He talked to the dog and even brought out water. The food was real good and we would definitely go back.

    Good food/location

    Friday night needed a place to eat with family and Charliebear. Found no waiting on the patio. Other dogs were present. They were busy and behind 40min in the kitchen. Very little staff. After talking to the waitress some more they just can't get staff. No one wants to work. Not their fault. Food was good, charliebear liked his hamburger. 30+ beers on tap. Would come again.

    Awesome Spot!

    We are here our first night in town. Called ahead to see if the patio was open. The employee said that they had not opened the patio that day but to come on in and we could sit on the patio. They brought out a dish of water for our pup, food was great and service was spectacular. Definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a chill place to dine with your furry friends!!

    Great outdoor patio

    We stopped here after a long day of traveling, and had a great experience. Brought water out for our dog which was very appreciated. Our food was great and when we asked about something for the dog, they were able to do a hamburger patty only for $3. Our Phillip was very happy!!

    Very dog friendly

    The restaurant likes dogs and has a bulldog as its mascot, for reasons explained on the back of the menu. Middle of the road American food, a large open patio with umbrellas for shade or cover, and enough space that having several dogs out there isn’t a problem. Friendly service.

    More than dog friendly!

    We're traveling through and needed some grub and frosty beverages. Pup friendly is important because she was in the car all day. This place is not just dog friendly, they love the pups! They brought us water, when our server realized pup loved ice, she brought us a pitcher of ice! Such a refreshing experience. Thank you for providing pup-oasis. 🐾

    Great Service, Great Food, Pet Friendly

    We had a wonderful experience at Thirsty’s. Their covered patio was closed after a storm went through the night before, but the staff still made sure our pooch was welcome and comfortable on their front patio. Our waiter (I wish I would have grabbed his name) was seriously the best waiter we had in Rapid City. We were the only table outside but he still made sure we were well taken care of. They also have the best buffalo burgers!

    Perfect lunch stop

    Super roomy, nice patio where we could enjoy lunch under cover on the patio with plenty of space for our golden retriever Luna. She received a water dish and treat before they took our drink orders-testimony to their dog friendliness. They also have a limited cute dog menu. We all had a great meal. Special shout out to Aubree for taking care of us.
