More than just a good meal

Mad Mary's Steakhouse

Along the Big Sioux River in Flandreau lies Mad Mary’s Steakhouse , which, as their slogan reveals, is a place for “more than just a good meal.” Established in 1993 as the Cattleman’s Club under the ownership of Myril Arch , the restaurant was transformed into Mad Mary’s Steakhouse in 1999 when it changed hands to Ron Wolf . Over two decades, the steakhouse passed through owners' hands, but since 2018, Christina Ramos has steered the ship. When previous owners Randy and Diane Tiedeman were looking to move onto a new path in life, Ramos admits she was at a standstill in her career. “I asked myself, ‘Where do you want to be in life and what do you want to do?’” she recalled. “I’ve worked two jobs the majority of my adult life. I thought that purchasing Mad Mary’s could be a good opportunity to build something more for my family.”
