I always look for local places to eat, and I found this diner. We ate there 1 morning and stopped the next day as we headed out of town. I had the Redneck hash browns both mornings, and my husband had the ham omelet. The couple with us both got the Mexican omelet and really enjoyed it. Actually, 1 of them ate it both mornings! The ladies were nice, food hot, and we felt good supporting a local place. When we walked in on day 2, they all greeted us with a smile, and we felt like family. Highly recommend them.

A cute lil’ diner with that small town feel. Service was excellent, very friendly and prompt. The food and coffee were hot and fresh. I tried the Red Neck Hash, very tasty. They don’t have gluten free options, but the menu items are easy to customize and the friendly staff will work with you to find a solution. A must try for locals and tourists alike.

We were on a trip for Sturgis we have eaten all over since we have traveled over various states. We stopped in for breakfast and the food was great, the service was out of this world and the prices were right. If you're in the area don't pass on this spot.

It’s nice to finally find a place that doesn’t make an omelette the size to feed a family of four. Two egg omelette is all anyone needs. Delicious food. Perfect portion hash browns. Plus coffee, less than 20. Great place.

Spent 8 days visiting the Rapid City, and surrounding areas... went out for breakfast everyday. The Fairmount Diner was (hands down) the best breakfast experience of my visit. A welcoming, comfortable vibe in a neighborhood diner setting. Good food and excellent service! What else do you want?

We lived in Rapid City for 13 years and during our 8 years of full-time RVing since then we come back each summer. I can't believe that we never taken the time to eat here before. The service was top notch, coffee was good and always topped off. Everything that we ordered was very good. Place was clean. I would recommend and will go again. Only critics and it's a personal issue: I wish all businesses would stop using those auto scent sprayers in the bathrooms. I've been directly sprayed by them before and that is dangerous for the estimated 1/3 or more of the population that deals with chemical sensitivity. Their sprayer is pointing directly at you when you are doing your business. I would also encourage the wonderfully, friendly owner to dial back the cologne. It's kind of strong. But he's so so nice!

Felt like I was eating at a small town cafe. Very attentive service and great breakfast food. I will definitely be coming here more often.
