If you’re searching for a delicious, mouthwatering hamburger that goes beyond the standard fast food variety, the Mount Rushmore State is home to one of the most unique American fare restaurants in the country. This restaurant is one of the top three rated restaurants in the town of Mitchell and offers one of the best burgers in South Dakota.
The town of Mitchell is home to one of the best burgers in South Dakota, found at The Depot Pub and Grill. It is also one of the oldest and most historic buildings around. It first opened in 1908 as a passenger and freight train depot and has since been fully restored. Since 1990, it has been serving delicious food and drinks; notably, amazing burgers!
Locals and visitors alike are drawn to the warm and homey pub environment inside, where everyone is treated like a regular. Visitors rave about the amazing and fast service provided by the staff inside. Grab a seat and a menu, and prepare for a delightful dining experience!
We’re going to cut right to the chase (although there are some delicious salads and appetizers worth tasting) and show you the mouthwatering Depot Burger. This half-pound Angus beef patty is served on a toasted bun with all the fixings, with extras like a fried egg, cheese, and bacon available for a nominal added charge.
This patty is cooked to perfection and served along with a surprising selection of sides to choose from. If you try one menu item, let it be this one! Visitors rave that this is one of the best burgers they have ever eaten. If you’re looking for a little variety from the more traditional burger, check out the Casey Jones Burger; the patty is stuffed with pepper jack cheese, and topped with chipotle ranch! All burgers are served on a warm, toasted bun. We think you’ll agree this is among the best burgers in South Dakota!

While The Depot is most well-known for its succulent burgers, the grilled chicken sandwich is absolutely delicious as well. Topped with melted provolone cheese, bacon, and cilantro aioli, along with mixed greens and a toasted bun, this is another undeniable favorite on the menu.
Perhaps you’re in the mood for fish? Check out this very generous portion of walleye, a favorite dish for those preferring something of the seafood variety. You can choose to order it broiled or hand beer-battered to a perfect golden brown, as shown here.
This tantalizing ribeye is another favorite menu item that is always perfectly prepared. This 100% certified ribeye is perfectly char-broiled to your liking, available to order at 12 or 24 ounces in size. You really can’t go wrong with any item you choose on the menu; after all, the amazing food is one of the key reasons for this restaurant’s high ratings!
Finish off your meal with either the chocolate chimichanga or the New York vanilla ice cream with assorted toppings. We can almost guarantee a full and satisfied stomach when you leave The Depot Pub and Grill!
Whether it’s the enchanting atmosphere, the historic charm, the wide variety of savory food and drink items, or all the above, it’s simply impossible not to love The Depot. And we have a sneaking suspicion you’ll go out of your way to come back for more!
