If there’s one thing that bonds all South Dakota residents together, it’s our love of the small-town rustic restaurants you’ll find across this beautiful state. Sure, big city restaurants can be fun, and chains are dependable, but it’s the little-known watering holes that bring locals together and serve up the most mouthwatering food around. Located in the southwestern corner of South Dakota in the small town of Edgemont — population 736 — this little steakhouse is rustic, welcoming, and worth a visit.

Welcome to Victory Steakhouse and Lounge, an off-the-beaten path restaurant that serves up mighty fine steaks in a casual, saloon-like environment.

If you’re not into steak, never fear: their soup and salad bar is simply wonderful. The menu also features chicken, pork chops, prime rib, burgers, and sandwiches.

Don’t forget to order a drink to accompany your meal. The fully-stocked bar is often busier than the restaurant itself.

Once you step inside the seemingly unassuming front doors, you will be immediately transported to the Wild, Wild West. Every inch of this steakhouse is full of rustic charm, from tables housed in chutes and cowboy cutouts on the walls to plenty of rustic wood and charming collectibles.
