Gem Steakhouse Saloon - Deadwood

My wife and I hoped for a good evening meal, but her steak had a strange texture that I guess of mechanical and chemical tenders, but amazingly it was still quite hard, I ordered the prime rib medium rare, but it came very rare, the kitchen took it back and it came out better, but it was pretty gristy. I would have been embarrassed to serve the guests either meat. Maybe we knocked off one night.

I had the chicken roast steak for lunch and it was excellent tender and delicious! we also had buffalo salisbury with gravy and it was also delicate and tasty. Crystal was our server and was pleasantly attentive and efficient while leaning on all the opposite! good eating and service and good prices. we have also enjoyed the historical photos and descriptions.

The steaks were terrible, the pommes were cold, and the asparagus was not even edible. we sent our steak back to make it new and another table near had to send his back. when we got our back steak, it wasn't very good. I wouldn't recommend this place. the service was great, but the food didn't even pass a chain steak house in quality. $80 before a tipp was was wasted.

Eating was good as the service. I have to take points for the atmosphere. when they come to deadwood with a head full of old West voices, they do not expect a place to look like the gem and feel like a dining room in a 1970s era american legion hall. I had hoped it would even be somewhat in character, but unfortunately it was extremely banal.

The pancakes were so fluffy and filling. I ordered 3 of them but was filled up on only 2 of them. Great food. We come here once a year and this is our breakfast spot unless we do the buffet at silverados. Definitely would recommend.
