Legends Steakhouse
South Dakota
Legends Steakhouse occupies the historic Franklin Hotel in downtown Deadwood. The hotel has welcomed visitors since 1903, and the restaurant takes its name from the succession of notable figures associated with the town and the building. Steak is the principal reason to book dinner here, while breakfast offers another way to experience the restaurant. Its setting within the Silverado Franklin Historic Hotel & Gaming Complex connects a meal with Deadwood’s broader history and entertainment life. The Franklin’s past includes visits by Theodore Roosevelt and William Howard Taft. For diners, that history provides context rather than a substitute for the food: Legends is a steakhouse in an old hotel, with the surrounding building adding a particular sense of place to the meal.
