Mavericks Steak & Cocktails, Deadwood

Had a bacon cheeseburger with Swiss and a gluten free bun. Was super delicious after a 5.5 hour drive. Loved the bite I had of my sister's salmon as well.

They took good care of us. The 2 of us are celiac and need to eat gluten free. We would go back the food was delicious.

Our waitress was excellent, but unfortunately, the quality of the meal was deeply disappointing. First and foremost, I found a beetle in my salad. When I alerted our waitress, rather than making any effort to make things right, our meal was not compensated at all, despite the bill soaring over $100. We only left a tip because our server was nice, not because of the service or quality. Additionally, I have diagnosed celiac disease and made this abundantly clear the moment we were seated. We were told the General Manager also has celiac disease, and I was explicitly told they would be cautious about cross-contamination. Yet, the first salad I received contained croutons, which was sent back. Then, to add insult to injury, the second salad I received was infested with a bug, as clearly shown in my review. This is utterly unacceptable. When my salmon (labelled gluten-free on the menu) was served, a glaze was brought out and we were told, "We don’t know if this has gluten, so we put it on the side." If there’s even a hint of doubt about a product’s gluten content, it should NOT be added to a dish for someone with celiac disease. That’s basic for any responsible restaurant. Overall, I felt uneasy and completely let down by this experience. The level of negligence and disregard is staggering. Sadly, we will not be returning. I was genuinely excited to dine here, especially since it seemed among the very few options with gluten-free choices in Deadwood. The hour and a half wait just to get a table was frustrating and added to the overall disappointment.
