Great when we went

We brought two 70+ pound dogs in at 6 PM on a Tuesday and had a blast. It wasn't super busy, which might make the difference. All the staff were very kind to us. The server was very attentive and brought the boys water right away. We sat in a corner on some comfortable barrel seats and the dogs relaxed and enjoyed people coming up to ask to pet them. I ran upstairs without the dogs to order dinner and then again to go get it, and the bison ribeye was amazing. The chislic was also very good (and the boys enjoyed their pieces). The host who took my order even popped down later in the night to meet our springer mix despite it being a very busy night in the restaurant.

Incredibly Pet Friendly

Big Thunder Gold Mine

We took our two 70+ pound hunting dogs here and all had a blast. Dogs are allowed everywhere on site, including the gift shop, on-site panning, mine tour, and claim panning. We did everything and it was a great day. After some hard days hiking Custer and the Black Hills, the pups were happy to relax at the claim mining site (a short walk up a hill but enough to feel very remote). There are sluices for the on-site panning farther away from other ones if you want to keep your dogs away from the busy action, though all the employees and even guests we interacted with were lovely with them. The boys also enjoyed the mine tour a surprising amount - lots of interesting smells and they were a little bummed to leave the 52° temperature behind and get back to summer!
