We came across this restaurant while strolling through the park, and the inviting patio caught our attention. The Turkey BLT was incredibly delicious, with the bread toasted to perfection—each bite offered a delightful burst of flavor from the sourdough. The water was refreshing, and the service was prompt. Definitely worth a visit; we’re glad we did! View all feedback.
What Anonym dislikes about Stampmill Saloon:
The staff was nice but it took a long time to get in with a wheel chair and if you are handicap don't come by yourself because there's not a ramp just steps and the only door we could get through that was still stepped up but not to high was locked and it took at least 5 plus minutes to get the door unlocked. The bathrooms weren't handicap accessible either. There were tiles missing and all over the floor. Overall it... View all feedback.

I have visited this restaurant twice since it came under new ownership, and both experiences left much to be desired due to the demeanor of the male owner. From the moment we walked in, he was unfriendly and unprofessional, which unfortunately overshadowed the quality of the food during both visits. Speaking of which, the food was quite good for the area, and the female bartender was a highlight, being both friendly and attentive. The male owner's attitude is quite off-putting to both guests and workers. It might be more beneficial for him to focus on roles behind the scenes, like expediting food or working in the kitchen, rather than interacting with patrons. Overall, while the food and certain staff members were enjoyable, the unwelcoming atmosphere created by the male owner detracts significantly from the dining experience.
Excellent food. The fish n chips were delicious. Bad part is they have a section of the menu that can only be ordered after 4. Very odd. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $20–30 Food: 5 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 5
Four of us visited here later on a Friday afternoon. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. The food was nice and prices reasonable. Food: 4 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
This place is a hidden gem in Lead. One of the best we've tried during our time here (visited twice). Jeanne, one of the owners, is very sweet and Marianna (new server) is a doll. Be patient (they're under newish management and still working out the kinks) and you'll be satisfied. Simple mixed drinks were very economically priced and the food was fantastic. Chislic top sirloin app was so tender and delicious, would recommend! Thanks!! Service: Dine in
Had a 10 oz sirloin, baked potato, steamed vegetables and a couple of rolls with a cold adult beverage. Was a nice quiet dinner. Enjoyed the atmosphere. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $30–50 Food: 4 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4

The restaurant had the charm of an old-time saloon. It was clean, and the staff was excellent! We couldn't help but admire the beautiful woodwork, the large fireplace, and the vintage bar. It was a fantastic spot, and we highly recommend stopping by.
OMG! The salads are legit! We go there at least twice a week for a good healthy option. Atmosphere is great, staff is wonderful!
Stampmill Restaurant is a gorgeous historic building, established in 1897. It's all polished wood and black steel. They have a gorgeous bar with friendly staff. We had the fried corn poppers (creamed corn in a breaded crust, fried and served with ranch dressing). They have a great selection of burgers, sandwiches and salads. It's a great place to stop if you're heading through Lead, Deadwood, or the Spearfish Canyon.
I'm puzzled by the negative reviews. My husband and I enjoyed a lovely dinner here tonight. I ordered a steak that was cooked to perfection, exactly how I requested, while my husband had a large and deliciously messy burger. The fries, made in-house, were fantastic. We were welcomed promptly, received excellent service, and our food arrived quickly. We'll definitely come back again.
The food really isn't worth the price. My son ordered a chicken strips basket off the kids menu and got 1 tiny strip. It said strips meaning more than 1 but they said only 1 comes with it. I paid $6 for a tiny strip and less than a handful of fries. The burgers said seasoned and they weren't seasoned very well. My actually had a sour taste to the meat like the meat had expired and when the waitr6tried to tell the cook about it we could hear him yell at her like she was wrong and I didn't know what I was talking about. The same was for my fiance's burger. And don't get me started on the flies that were all over the place. We were eating inside and had to constantly swat flies away from food. Needless to say we won't be back.
