In the ravaged outback of Lusk, there are few eating establishments to be found. Triangle 4 Cafe seems to be the best choice if life has you travelling through the area en route to Mount Rushmore or some other more scenic destination.
We stopped into the Triangle 4 at high noon on Friday and were seated immediately. The interior is pretty big and have a good number of tables. The menu is similar to a diner, with some breakfast foods as well as sandwiches and other meals. I opted for the cheeseburger which came with fries or a salad. For starters, thank goodness it's independently owned because we were able to get medium hamburgers that actually had a touch of reddish pink in it! The burger was a pretty good size and had a decent taste. I went with the side of fries and they were good...crispy and hot, and not heavily salted.
The missus' had a fried fish sandwich which wasn't too bad...just your typical fried fish patty with some tartar sauce. She also enjoyed the fries.
In the end, as Yelp says my three stars say, it's A-OK. Not the best, but certainly far from the worst option in town. If you happen to find yourself in Lusk and your tummy starts rumbling, this is probably your best bet.
Been here a few times. Mostly for breakfast, or breakfast foods (I work nights).
Food is good, service is very good.
Omelets are the best thing I've had on the menu, and nothing is bad or meh.
There has only ever been one waitress on duty when I have been in there, so it may get a tad slow when busy. I personally have never had that issue.
They are open 5am-10pm not 5pm-10pm which is what Yelp has listed.
We have stopped here for breakfast on our way home from the Sturgis Rally back in 2010 as well as this past Sunday. Â We decided to stop here again because we liked the food and service in 2010.
This time we had friends traveling with us. When we arrived, the parking lot was packed with locals in cars and trucks, as well as fellow bikers heading south. Â There were even people sitting outside, so I thought there would be a wait.
We were seated quickly, and the waitress too our orders without much of a wait. Â The food took a little bit of time, but with the amount of patrons, it wasn't unexpected. Â Still within a reasonable amount of time.
Just like in 2010, the food was good and the wait staff was friendly and attentive. Â they even filled up our water bottles as we were leaving to head south.
We were on a road trip to the Black Hills and decided to stop for lunch. The place is dark, only had windows on one side. I ordered the French Dip, and wife a hamburger. It was the 4th, so I will cut them a little slack. After about 30 minutes, several tables around us who came in after we did got their meals (seems if you're a local you get served quicker). My wife asked where was our meal. "We are swamped and getting another cook" was the response she got. No apology was offered. About 35-40 minutes we got our food. My French Dip was the worse I had ever had, roast beef was brownish grey, au jus was equally as bad. Wife hamburger was average. We will never go back!
Review Source:Well what a nice surprise in a nice little town. Â The night we ate there, the menu featured oriental orange chicken and rocky mountain oysters. Â You can't get more variety that that! Â The service was friendly and the food just fine.
May, 2013: Â We revisited here on our way from Custer, SD to home, this time at brunch-time (no problem getting breakfast at noon!). Â The service slow; one solo waitress handling the crowd. Â But she kept her cool, and we did too. Â The omelette was yummy, the hashbrowns best ever, traveling-guy had a club sandwich that suited him fine. Â I remain a fan!
We were just driving through Lusk looking for a place to eat. Happened upon this place by chance. Â I ordered the best chicken bacon sandwich ever! I didn't know how good and thick bacon could be till here. I must have lived a non-priviledged life before all this. Service was great. We had some tasty fries too.
The menu was breakfast all day and hamburgers & sandwiches. I didn't really pay attention to what kinds of steaks they had since we were there for lunch.
