The Sugar Shack is back in business
Black Hills, S.D. (KELO) –After more than 18 months, the Sugar Shack in the Black Hills is back up and running. And the western South Dakota business is off to a strong start. The Sugar Shack's owner says it's been a weight off his shoulders to be back in business. Bryant community keeps 105-year-old theater alive 'It feels amazing, all the amazing support we had this weekend, it was crazy, record breaking days everyday. It was awesome to feel all the love when everyone came in. They loved the building, they loved everything, so I think it went really well.' said owner Trevor Kautzman. People visiting the Black Hills are among those returning to this local hotspot. 'I think it's a lot nicer than it was. It was nice before, it was just kind of old and outdated. But it's a lot nicer now, the food is still good, so yeah I liked it.' returning customer Brent Lucas said. The goal was to have the same look with more space and it's safe to say, everybody is excited to be back at the Sugar Shack. 'We talk about it every time we come out here. This is our third or fourth trip and we've eaten here like eight times probably and we always tell people about it.' Lucas said. 'They love it, of course they miss the old shack of course, it's been here forever. But I've heard a lot that they can walk in here and it still looks like the old shack, just bigger and newer of course. I've got nothing but love, it's been nice.' Kautzman said. The added space means 14 more seats are available inside, plus there's more room for the staff to be able to work. The Sugar Shack is open daily serving up breakfast, lunch and dinner, and they're excited to share the upgraded location with new and returning guests.

Sugar Shack is getting closer to reopening after the fire
DEADWOOD, S.D. (KELO) — Back in late 2023, a popular western South Dakota restaurant burned down. After over a year of planning and building, the Sugar Shack is closer to opening back up. The Sugar Shack is known for having some of the best food the Black Hills has to offer, and it could be back open just in time for the summer rush. A couple of weeks ago the Sugar Shack didn't even have walls and now they have a roof over their head. And while this is going to be a complete rebuild, they are still working to make sure that the Sugar Shack has the same authentic feel.

We're kind of going for that old-school look and feel. So like the siding on the front will be that board and batten kind of looks old-school. I mean it's modern but I've tried to keep it as true to the old building as I possibly could,' Owner Trevor Kautzman said. Customers and staff will also enjoy a lot more space. The new restaurant will be more than three times larger than the original. 'Our staff are going to love it. So we have a huge prep area now in the back, before we prepped up in that tiny little kitchen. I mean, so now just a lot more room, easier to walk around, we were always on top of each other. We made it work, I mean my staff is awesome, we always made it work but a lot more room now,' Kautzman said. Kautzman said that soon people will be able to enjoy the same food that put this place on the map. The current timeline is for the Sugar Shack to be up and running around Memorial Day Weekend.
