Reviews for Whiskey Creek® Wood Fire Grill in Mitchell, SD

What a disaster this place has become. We came out here three years in a row and were always very happy with the food and... service. It?s been a few years since we?ve been able to make it, so we were excited to come back. The place is a total trainwreck now. They were out of prime rib, ribeye, pork, brisket, and ribs. Waitress said they were out of the bloomin onion afterwe ordered it, came back and said they actually had one. When we finally got it, it was terrible. Clearly just grabbed a yellowonion instead of sweet onion (because they ran out)and it was quite honestly disgusting. This wasn?t the worst part though?.theybrought out our food and I ordered the prime rib sandwich. Our table couldn?t control our laughter at how ridiculous it was. Itwas basically the thinnest piece of beef jerky thrown on a hard piece of bread?and that was it! Waitress was at least reallynice and even agreed the sandwich was embarrassing. I?m not sure what changed but this place is horrible now. Read more

Update Second time, smoker not working, no pork or brisket. Bartender and servers were the nicest, friendliest, smiling faces... letting me know they were out of most everything including many beers. Service at one star is for the owners serving thecustomers, not the actual workers, I feel for the front line staff. First trip Went to the bar, found a seat, was there 10 minsand no service. Employees passed by me, never said anything. Watched two different people make drinks. There was one othercustomer at the bar and two groups eating at tables. Food smelled good, I was hungry and thirsty. Got up and left. Read more

The struggles of a restaurant with a lack of staff is so hard. The food and service was really good. The staff did there best to... provide good service Read more

We are in town for the kids pedal tractor pull. Went out for dinner. When we first walked in they said it would be an hour wait.... We decided to sit at the bar. Best decision we made. We meet Leo the bartender. He made the whole night worth the wait. Veryfriendly Very helpful and the food was great. I would recommend even with the wait. Hopefully they will find people who want towork. Amber you are doing a great job with the resources you have to work with. Thank you. Read more

So?.we waited a half hour for a table, even though they had tons of empty tables. Apparently they are dealing with staff... shortages, so they won?t use all of the tables. Ok, that?s fine. I?m understanding of that. But, the service and wait wasn?t theissue. Our service was adequate, nothing more, maybe a little less. Here?s the issue: I had a three meat platter with brisket,ribs, sausage; and I can honestly say I have never eaten poorer quality of any of those anywhere. It wasn?t good, not at all.Brisket was tiny chunks, tough, and like beef jerky. It had some smoke, but it was terrible! Ribs were tender; but no flavor, nobark, and definitely not smoked. It was like they were braised. Sausage had nice flavor, but was so dry, I?m pretty sure it wascut into pieces the day before. I?m usually the last guy to want to make bad reviews on places; but I went to this place becauseit had decent reviews. And I don?t want people to make same mistake as I did?.I think they could probably make a good meal attimes; but I certainly wasn?t served one!!!! Read more

Beef brisket very tough and dry ribs were great sweet potatoes Soufflé was amazing don?t order iced tea they make a cup of tea... and dump it over ice very weak service was good Read more

Amazing meal! We started with the appetizer platter then split a 16 oz prime rib. Needless to say we are taking a to-go box... home, FULL. They were short staffed, but the wait was worth it! Read more

Pretty darn good. I ordered my steak medium rare, it came out darn near Tartare. That being said, it was so tender that I went... with it. It's not often you find a sirloin that can be eaten unless it's medium or above. Only one small area with gristle.This was obviously a good cut of quality, well aged beef. Bathroom was clean. Decent crowd for a Sunday night. My onlycomplaint was the other tables seemed to have a small loaf of bread as the appetizer. I ate at the bar, so it was probably anoversight. Read more
