Buglin' Bull Restaurant and Sports Bar

The menu is interesting but it doesn't deliver on expectations. The walleye cakes were moslty bread and seasoning. The clam chowder was very thin but had flavor. On my salad, I didn't realize the lettuce was chargrilled and not the chicken. Who wants a hot lettuce salad? And the "house made caesar dressing" was the same spicy chile garlic sauce on the walleye cakes, not even close to Caesar dressing. My husband said the prime rib and au jus were good, but the rice was definitely from a box as it was mushy and super salty.

The Buglin' Bull looked like one of the more happening restaurants in Custer and was recommended by the clerks at our hotel, so we figured it would be worth a stop in for dinner one recent evening. When I looked up the menu online, I was attracted by their impressive beer list and varied menu which includes your standard offerings of burgers, sandwiches, etc. as well as some Mexican dishes and meat dishes.

We were seated immediately upon stopping in and ordered a couple of local beers. They also have a beer called 1874 Black Hills Gold which I believe is brewed specially for them. I was getting a little tired of the old usual burger and fries thing, so I ordered a Mexican dish which was pretty good. A burrito filled with grilled chicken and served with rice and beans on the side.

Service was attentive and friendly and everything was very reasonably priced, especially considering the humongous portions here. The Buglin' Bull is a sure bet in Custer for an interesting lunch or dinner.

Ernie is a great bartender and the staff is always very pleasant.  The food is pretty good too.
