If you are a South Dakotan in need of some comfort, there is nothing quite as delicious, nostalgic, and – well, comforting – as a good, old-fashioned hot beef sandwich. While the concept of a hot beef sandwich is somewhat foreign to out-of-staters, we here in the Mount Rushmore State know how to do it right, some of the best of which can be found at these 5 tasty restaurants:
- Phillips Avenue Diner (Sioux Falls)

- Hill City Cafe (Hill City)
