The Buckaroo

Fascinating old local photos adorn the walls, while an orange and blue soda fountain graphic remains at the top of a front window, a remnant of the Rexall drug store that used to occupy the dining room.  The drug store was one of two historic downtown buildings which were restored and connected to create The Buckaroo, a top-notch dining destination in Hudson, South Dakota.

One-half lounge, one-half steakhouse, The Buckaroo combines a relaxing atmosphere with a delicious menu including chicken, steak, burgers, and more.  My wife enjoyed a peppered steak topped with melted blue cheese, an entree not seen at many small-town restaurants.  I opted for their juicy “Iowan” burger, which featured cheddar cheese, barbecue sauce and a couple perfectly-prepared slices of bacon.
