Review: The Smoking Mule, Chamberlain SD
My partner and I stopped here while traveling through Chamberlain on a Friday night around 7:15 PM. Despite how very busy the restaurant was, the experience was excellent from start to finish.
Service & Ambiance
* The hostess was incredibly pleasant and managed to seat us within just 5 minutes, which was impressive given the crowd.
* Our server, Hailey, was phenomenal! She was helpful, had a great attitude, lots of energy, and was very punctual throughout our entire meal. Excellent service is hard to find, and Hailey delivered!
The Food
We were thoroughly impressed with the menu.
* Appetizer: Bayou Shrimp – Excellent! A great way to start the meal.
* Main Course: Bourbon Ribs (Split) – These were absolutely, exceptionally good. The flavor was outstanding, and they were perfectly cooked.
Overall Recommendation
The Smoking Mule is a must-visit. From the genuinely pleasant service to the truly amazing food, they hit all the right notes even on a peak weekend night.
I highly recommend this place! I would love to come back during the day to see the great Missouri River.

If I’m ever passing by here again I will definitely come back here to eat! We had been traveling a long time and we put an order in 10 mins before kitchen closed. They were so kind and accommodating! I ordered the lobster roll and it was AMAZING! Right up there with lobster rolls from Maine, and such a good portion too. My dad ordered the pork nachos and enjoyed them. We sat down to eat in the bar since the restaurant area had closed and the bartender was super helpful and recommended a sample for the beers we had, so glad she did because I got the best one I could have had with my lobster roll, it was a pineapple seltzer. The staff was super nice and even put fun music on for us. Definitely a gem of a place right of the river and worth the 7 min drive right off of 90.

This was our second attempt at The Smoking Mule. They were closed the first time we went (my fault for not checking, but gave us a chance to visit Upper Crust Pizza). Good atmosphere in a cool location near the Missouri River. We sat at the bar which was empty when we arrived but steadily filled up while we were there. We are a fan of Palace City Brewing and enjoyed the opportunity to have the Braying Brown Brew (a Smoking Mule exclusive) along with a few other local beers. I had the brisket burger. The beef was a little dry but otherwise a good burger. My wife had the Lobster and Shrimp Po’ Boy which she enjoyed. The Kick Ass Loaded Beans were good as well. The restaurant had a cool gift shop and all of the staff were friendly. I would definitely visit again if we are in the area.

Great service. Very tasty food. Ribeye with whisky onions is terrific. Lobster and shrimp po boy was excellent. Brisket burger is large and delicious. Great onion rings and sweet potato fries. Shrimp appetizer had great seasonings.

The best. THE BEST fish sandwich I have ever had. I can’t tell you mych about the rest of the menu because I was so full just from the sandwich. My husband agrees 100%. Days later we are still thinking about that sandwich. Unfortunately we live a couple of states away.

We had great service, and the environment is nice, especially the bar.
Kudos to the bartender for taking the time to top off the beers so you’re not getting 20% foam. Plus, the selection has some very tasty options.
We didn’t love the food. I asked for medium doneness on the burger, but it was over cooked and underseasoned.
My wife got the pulled pork grilled cheese, which had a lot of pork, but it was underseasoned and seemed like it was missing something.
Their fries are great, and the beans they make were tasty. I’d go back for beer and skip the food.

We had a couple different brisket sandwiches and they were excellent. Best brisket in a long time. We were in a back room since we had a dog with us but enjoyed it. The server was taking good care of us despite also being the bartender. He was running around but was very good at keeping things moving and attending to our needs. We would go back!

Fabulous restaurant with incredibly welcoming and helpful staff overlooking the Missouri River and boats! I truly loved my smoked half chicken which was tender and moist as well as the potato salad with dill and celery. The salad was very fresh and quite tasty. Free parking in the private lot. FYI it’s a gravel lot.

Food was good! Well worth a trip off the highway! The location is cool, looking out over a Marina! The baked beans were, unique, and excellent! Gouda with the brisket was a good match!

Great spot by the river. You can choose between a bar side and restaurant. The smoked food is good and an ok selection of tap beers. There onion rings and brisket was good but I especially liked there wings.
