After reading the reviews, I wanted to love the charm and food here.
Pros-free parking and a super friendly counter attendant.
Cons-reading it was a deli, I was expecting to be able to get a cold cut type sandwich. They have a very small menu that only has breakfast type sandwiches or a hot dog. Given that I already told the attendant I was starving, felt obligated to order something.
Ended up with the bacon, egg and cheese sandwich on a bagel and an iced coffee. The bagel was soft but nothing outside a supermarket purchased one
I asked for super crispy bacon which I got...kind of.
I thought I would find the inside charming but instead it was a lot of clutter.
Might be a great breakfast stop but with so many other choices in downtown, I would reconsider for lunch.

For Chip, it all started with her mom’s kitchen and dreams of chocolate. Even as a little girl, she was busy concocting mouthwatering chocolate treats and desserts. Since then, she’s honed her skills and become even more passionate about creating delectably delicious confections. Her sunny kitchen, located in historic Deadwood, South Dakota, is where her chocolate dreams come true every day. Each treat is an original creation, and each promises to make you swoon and sway with delight. The secret? Chip makes her truffles, toffee, and caramel with butter and love, the ingredients that make for the most sigh-worthy desserts. So next time you’re visiting Deadwood, make sure to stop into Chubby Chipmunk Hand-Dipped Chocolate Shop. This magical little confectionery promises to satisfy anyone’s sweet tooth -- grown-ups and children alike.

The Black Hills are chock-full of places to get candy and other treats, but if you're in the Lead/Deadwood area, this little spot is worth a stop. Friendly staff! When they're not open, there's a fun little vending machine.Not sure how I missed your review but want to give you a belated thanks for taking the time to write. We try hard to make everyone happy!

The worker behind the counter was extremely friendly and helpful. She mentioned that they stay open all year round. Customers come not only for the coffee and hot or cold drinks but also to enjoy all the flavours of ice cream/sundaes. Could use more seating. There is also a small store selling gift ware, a few souvenirs, t-shirts, caps, and some children’s clothing.

Northern Italian Steakhouse
Reviewed By SallyFoodie - San Antonio, Texas
We had reservations on a very quiet Thursday night before the long holiday weekend. Per request, we were seated in a quiet area overlooking downtown. What service! We were the only one's seated in this section because of the request. Now, that is South Dakota nice! Service was knowledgable, friendly, and attentive - even as the rest of the restaurant got busier in the other sections as the night wore on. Food was spectacular. Two had the buffalo ribeye and it was melt-in-your-mouth. Pork Osso Bucco came highly recommended and it didn't disappoint. It was delicious over the wild rice, veggie medley. ?Buffalo ravioli was the 4th dish and she ate it all, so we didn't get to taste! We also started with the wild boar wontons (I believe they were called). Really delicious. They have a nice selections of wines at all price points as well. Couldn't have been better - sums it up!
