Cedar Pass Lodge Restaurant
The only sit-down restaurant inside Badlands National Park, famous for its Sioux Indian Taco topped with fry bread and bison.
Cedar Pass Lodge sits beside the Ben Reifel Visitor Center inside the park and is the only place in the park where you can sit down for a meal. Its signature Sioux Indian Taco is made with puffy fry bread topped with beans, bison meat, lettuce, tomato, and cheese. Other options include bison chili, bison burgers, steaks, and South Dakota wine and beer. If you're short on time, grab a sandwich from the lodge's shop. About US$15–25 per person. It's about 40 minutes by car from Wall and open only in spring, summer, and fall.

Open about mid-April to mid-October; breakfast about 8:00–10:00, lunch and dinner about 11:00–18:00 (hours extended in summer)
