Very delicious food, cozy and friendly staff. I’ve gotten a to-go breakfast burrito with a late/ iced coffee from the coffee shop side every time I go through town, and am never disappointed!

First time we came here just me and my husband. It was a cute cozy place, I loved the decor inside, the service was great, the food was really good, my husband wanted steak, but unfortunately they were all out, not crowded at all, something I like very much especially during lunch hours. Overall I would definitely go back.

The folks at the Bunkhouse make a great bacon cheeseburger. Onion rings & cheeseballs are spot on. Stop in and try it out.

I loved this place! I come every year to South Dakota and specifically to Rushville and have never tried this place until this year. We enjoyed a wonderful breakfast and tried to come back on a Sunday but they were closed. I recommend this place to anybody traveling in this area. Rachel is full of wonderful nice friendly people.
