Downtown Rapid City RESTAURANT WEEK IS BACK!

…and now there are even more opportunities to support downtown businesses.

The sizzle of the grill. Being greeted by the intoxicating essence from the kitchen. Divine presentations on every ceramic canvas. And tantalizing flavors in every mouthwatering bite.

For one week each year, the spotlight is on downtown as every savory sense gets treated to luxury. That time is none other than Restaurant Week in Downtown Rapid City.

Back for its 8th year, Restaurant Week will be January 13 through 22 – and this year, it will be bigger than ever.

Participation in the past required restaurants to create a 3-course meal for $35 – often comprised of an appetizer, entrée, and a dessert. This year, organizers have created new challenges. The hope is that more businesses and customers will be able to participate with more options and price points.

There will now be options of menu items at these Rapid City, South Dakota-inspired options: $6.05 – South Dakota area code 605 $20.10 – the year Main Street Square was built (2010) $43 – the number of presidential statues in downtown Rapid City $72 – to commemorate the 1972 flood in Rapid City

These price changes not only allow more customers to afford to experience restaurant week, but also broaden the opportunity for more businesses to compete. Now, downtown coffee shops, whiskey bars, and breweries can compete and serve customers with a $6.05 special, for example.

Every day is a great day to eat, shop, and support local businesses. Take advantage of Restaurant Week to see what these passionate chefs and entrepreneurs can do!
