Welcome to Pierre

This is Mary Etzkorn’s steakhouse. A few years after her divorce, Mary decided she wanted to start her own steakhouse. She didn’t have any money to finance it so she leased everything and used her credit cards and got it going. The name Mad Mary’s was her sister’s idea, who said, “You’ve got to name it Mad Mary’s because everybody’s going to know you’re mad at him.” She was referring to Mary’s now passed ex-husband since this was after their divorce. Today, they have waiters and waitresses who have worked there for many years, some eight years, others 15 and others even longer. Mad Mary’s Steakhouse has become a place for anyone and everyone. They have no dress code, which allows for everyone to come in, from truckers, to young families, to odd business travelers and even the governor. When asked about this, Mary said, “You can come in in a tuxedo or you can come right out of the field, and everybody feels comfortable. We have guys from a [livestock] sale barn come over …” So it goes without saying that Mad Mary’s Steakhouse is one of the spots to stop by when in Pierre.

Perfectly Cooked and Seasoned!

March 8, 2026

Went to Mad Mary’s last night from a recommendation when I said I was looking for protein and vegetables. I was traveling for work and alone, so I bellied up to the bar.

However, after seeing their menu and hearing their soups, I couldn’t help but order French onion soup, steak and herb linguine. Not only was the steak perfectly cooked and seasoned and the rest of the food delightful, but so were all of the staff.

Everyone was helpful, had a good sense of humor and appeared to like being there.

I have never ever…ever had a steak so amazing!

February 7, 2023

Went there for the first time yesterday evening. I ordered a German Potato Soup and a Ribeye.

The soup was really tasty, nothing to write home about, but I love it. Came out super hot and yeah, tasted great. The steak though, the steak…I have never ever…ever had a steak so amazing. The char marks from the grill, the perfect amount of salt, the ageing of the steak, the perfect way it was cooked; the steak I had last night…It’s the most wonderful food that’s ever entered my mouth. I’m excited to go back! Try the ribeye, get it medium rare. My only critique would be that the mashed potatoes are apparently from a packet. BUT they still tasted great so whatever.

Incredible Steak!

October 22, 2025

Was in town for an evening.

Been told that this was the best place in town. It was better than that.

Incredible steak! Fabulous staff and a real delight of a place to be in. Real, rustic and warm.

You basically cannot miss this.

The steaks are out of this world!

March 14, 2022

Wonderful hidden gem that definitely should be on the top of your list if you are trying restaurants in Pierre. The steaks are out of this world! The burgers are cooked to perfection, the drinks are cold, and the sides are some of the best I have ever had. Come on, you gotta try it out! 🙂

Steak Cooked to Perfection!

June 10, 2024

Looking for a steak and classic country – Mad Mary’s Steakhouse & Saloon is where you need to go when in Pierre South Dakota. The steak was cooked to perfection. Add a bottle of Bud to your order and you will be fixed for the night.

Unbelievable Prime Rib

August 13, 2021

My favorite Prime Rib restaurant closed 20 plus years ago and I have been searching the US for the best Prime Rib sense. I FOUND IT AT MAD MARY’S STEAKHOUSE! The place is cool, staff is awesome and unbelievable Prime Rib. Didn’t want to take the last bite because then it would be all gone… 7 hour drive from MN for us and it’s worth it.
