I'm on my annual road trip and will be passing through Sturgis for the first time in a couple days. Where is the best place to get a steak a beer and smoke a cigar? just need to relax at the end of a long day riding and any help would be greatly appreciated.

Just google restaurants in Sturgis. There is One Eyed Jacks, The Knuckle, and Easyriders for atmosphere and basic rally food. Pretty sure they are still open, but you should visit their websites to be sure. All are on the main drag (either Junction or Lazelle St.).
My personal fav is Jambonz, on Junction at Ballpark Road.

Only decent steak I ever had in Sturgis (besides one we cooked at a camp site) was at Easyriders. They have a large outdoor porch facing Lazelle, I would guess you can smoke out there after your steak. Now are they still open after the rally, I don't know but the internet is your friend.
