Ice cream! [Keystone SD]…read more After all the walking in and out of shops, most of the time just window shopping, we eventually got tired and wanted something cool and refreshing. Jane's Boardwalk Pizza not only sold pizza but they have an ice cream shop too. I chose Jolted Cow (description: Caramel and Fudgy Brownies swirled in an Espresso flavored ice cream) and hubby chose his usual Mint Chocolate Chip. We enjoyed our treats in their spacious covered outdoor dining area. They also have a second level for more seating. Good service. Review #3491

I was not expecting to get ice cream while going to see Mount Rushmore since it was late (before…read morelighting ceremony) and it was raining but I got suckered in by the sign advertising Thomas Jefferson's own vanilla ice cream recipe LOL. I got two scoops, TJ's vanilla and cookies & cream. It's interesting that vanilla would cost an extra dollar but, I guess that's what the people come for! Which actually, I was very surprised that it was so good! I was happily eating my ice cream in the rain, freezing, while watching the lighting ceremony. Would definitely get another scoop of that TJ vanilla!

We were starving after walking around looking at Mount Rushmore. So we stopped by the Carver's Cafe…read more(which is at the monument). The staff was super nice and attentive. And the food options were decent. I ordered the Dakota Bison Bacon Cheeseburger with the fries and both were very delicious indeed. And the space to eat in was huge with tall glass windows so you could see Rushmore not too far in the distance.

Visited on 5/12/2026 with my family after a long morning at Mount Rushmore. The location is…read moreconvenient -- right inside the monument -- but convenience and the view are about the only things going for this place. We ordered the Philly Cheesesteak ($18), a Cheeseburger ($17.50 + $0.75), and the Grilled Chicken Platter ($14.50) for our kid. Total came out to $54.50 for three people -- which, okay, it's a tourist spot, so I expected to pay a premium. What I didn't expect was to pay premium prices for food that felt like it was barely tried. The Philly was overcooked and dry. The meat was dark and tough -- no juiciness, no flavor. For $18, that's just not acceptable. The burger looked decent but tasted flat and underwhelming. The Grilled Chicken Platter for my child was the most disappointing -- it's listed as "grilled" on the menu, but the chicken came out barely touched. Pale, soft, almost like it was steamed and then given a quick pass on the grill just for looks. The mashed potatoes and corn on the side were fine -- nothing special. I'll give credit where it's due -- the ambiance is genuinely great. Eating with a direct view of Mount Rushmore is a cool experience you won't get anywhere else, and the dining area has a nice open feel to it. Service was also okay, no real complaints there. But when you're spending $54 on a family meal and every main dish misses, the view only carries you so far. If you're visiting, pack your own food or eat before you arrive. You'll thank yourself later.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

tl;dr the extra-creamy ice cream delivers on both quality and quantity; don't be afraid to sample…read morethe more adventurous flavor offerings Compared to California, the Dakotas have far fewer premium dessert destinations. But some of the states' best ice cream can be found around Rapid City, South Dakota. Enter The Silver Lining Creamery. This small-batch scoop shop only has locations in the Dakotas. But don't count out the rotating selection of premium, handcrafted ice cream. Silver Lining is routinely ranked among the best ice cream parlors in the state. The Rapid City location is at the far corner of the Main Street Square, adjacent to the covered downtown parking lot. Countless metal tables and chairs are organized on the outside patio, and the flavor lineup is markered onto a stainless steel menu beside a seasonal service window. A bulbed "ice cream" sign sits above the front entrance. Inside, the queue twists along the curved counter. Merch shelves and a grab-and-go freezer are pressed against the exposed brick wall to the right, while a half-booth is tucked into the corner beside the side entrance on the left. The two-tiered ceiling is accented by a baby blue lighted strip, while a deep blue "ice cream solves everything" neon sign is displayed against the back subway-tiled wall. Ambient music plays lightly in the background. My group visited on a Sunday evening in late spring, and Silver Lining still boasted a sizeable crowd. The flavor lineup ranged from standard to moderately ambitious -- namely, Silver Lining offered a perfume-y sage-flavored ice cream. After sampling multiple flavors, my partner and I opted to share a triple-scoop in a waffle cone. The cone was dwarfed by the giant scoops; our staff member treated it as a personal challenge to see how much ice cream the petite cone could possibly balance. The high butterfat content was unmistakable -- the ice cream was eyebrow-raisingly creamy but not overwhelmingly sweet. My favorite flavor was the mildly mocha-y Coffee Toffee, while my partner enjoyed the true-to-flavor Butterscotch. Our final flavor, Circus Town (birthday cake ice cream with frosted animal cracker), was no slouch, either. The service was efficient and accommodating, and a monster-sized triple scoop runs $8 -- a bargain by big-city standards. I left feeling impressed by the portion sizes and the execution. For a sophisticated yet crowd-pleasing dessert option, Silver Lining is a solid bet.
