About

For more than a century, the staff of the Harney Peak Hotel—now home to the Alpine Inn—has welcomed guests with genuine hospitality. Built in 1886, this historic landmark quickly earned a reputation for fine dining and became the pride of Hill City. Family owned and operated for over three decades, the Alpine Inn continues to honor that legacy today.

Recognized in national and international publications, the Alpine Inn is known for its friendly, old-world atmosphere and exceptional cuisine. The lunch menu offers a delightful blend of European-inspired and contemporary dishes, while the iconic evening menu features perfectly prepared filet mignon and homemade desserts as beautiful as they are delicious.

Standing proudly at the corner of Elm and Main Street in the heart of the Black Hills, this cherished landmark invites you to step back in time. We hope your visit becomes a lasting memory—filled with the same warmth and charm that have defined this place for generations. If walls could talk, ours would share stories unlike any other. Isn’t it time you came and added yours?

What the Locals are Saying

"A ~$20 9 oz filet mignon that includes a wedge Iceburg lettuce salad (homemade ranch is incredible), baked potato and two pieces of Texas toast-you can’t beat it. It was so good we went here twice during our vacation. Also, their dessert is incredible. We had a Carmel Apple strudel and then a pumpkin strudel as well. Highly recommend getting to the restaurant around 4P to add your name to the dinner list so you’re not waiting too long to be seated. Even earlier for Friday/Saturday night. Highly recommend checking this out when you’re in the area!" -Tina B.

"I had lunch here with my sister and both the food and service were excellent! They were quite busy, but our server was very friendly, knowledgeable and made us feel welcome. There were some really good options on the menu instead of the same ol boring items found elsewhere. I'd definitely eat here again." -Janine P.

"The restaurant was absolutely amazing. The German food was great and huge portions. The staff was great and dressed very nice. It was nice having staff dressed up and not wearing jeans and t-shirts. We will definitely go back everytime we are in Hill City. We even had one of the servers with a beautiful voice sing for us." -Adam H.
