    Too yummy to wait

    Duck wings were delicious, house salad with blue cheese crumbles and Indian taco.. all very yummy. Ashley is the sweetest waitress and she took good care of us! but all were so friendly. Excellent place to eat. Cooks did an amazing job!! Highly recommended if ever in the area!

    Brats

    Claim to fame is game, wild game. Tried the Snake& Rabbit brat, spicy, and the Elk brat, tasty. Ashley very upbeat and pleasant. Dining area, bar and outside patio area available.

    Service was absolutely terrible!!! The food was decent. We watched them turn away three groups of people. I wouldn't recommend to anyone.

    Food was excellent. Small menu, but you can't go wrong with anything you choose. We happened upon it and so glad we did.

    Had the Omelette with bacon, ham, tomatoes and mushroom, also French toast and pancake…read more The Omelette was really good. Very generous on the ham and bacon. The ham tasted like cooked in brown sugar and honey which complemented the more savory slightly salty bacon bits. The bacon had a drier texture and more like crumbles vs chopped bacon pieces but worked well with the other ingredients. Mushroom was grilled and added an earthy flavor which balanced the heavier meat ingredients. The side of potatoes was really good, too. It was cut in cubes, lightly coated with some kind of starch and fried. The coating has the flavor of seasoned curly fries. Lightly crispy on the outside but soft on the inside. I chose rye from the bread options. The french toast was also yummy; cinnamonny and eggy flavor but without being overly soaked in custard nor soggy. This was a side order for additional cost. The pancakes tasted like it had sweet cream and had a nutty hint of flavor. More dense than fluffy but was good. Reasonable prices for the quality and amount of the food. Staff were nice and friendly. Great ambiance, too. The restaurant has a very cozy homey feel with the country style decor. Windows wrapped around most of the dining area. Plenty of parking. Highly recommend if you're around Keystone South Dakota or nearby area.

    This place was amazing. It's located in downtown, there's plenty of parking and the staff are so…read moresweet. They constantly check in on you, and provide a very positive environment, 10/10 service. The interior is fun, they have plenty of seating indoors and outdoors, there are random climbing decor, trinkets, paintings, and it's just a fun atmosphere. We ordered the fish and chips, fried green beans, pub sandwich with smashed potatoes and bread pudding. The fish was perfectly battered, it was crispy, light and the sauce they served with it was perfect. We absolutely loved the fried green beans, they were crispy and tasted amazing with their housemade garlic parmesan and spicy ukranian sauce. The spicy ukranian is a slightly tangy and creamy sauce. The pub sandwich had a good crunch from the citrus slaw, good tang from the pepperoncini and the bread was so soft. They also have 1990 rootbeer and it is amazing. The real star of the show was the bread pudding. I have never really been a fan of bread pudding but this one is a must. It is warm, soft, and just the perfect texture. The top is sugary with a little crunch and topped with whipped cream. They don't put nuts or raisins. I absolutely loved it. Definitely will be back for the amazing service, rootbeer, fried green beans and of course the bread pudding!

    We had a stop over in Custer so needed to find someplace that wasn't a chain…read more Seen this place on the corner and it looked nice so we gave it a try. Glad we did Our hostess wasn't as friendly as I'd have liked but everyone has an off day. Our server was attentive and kept us feeling important. Food. The ribeye was tender and flavorful. There was a fair amount of fat but ribeye does. The chili is very good and pairs well with the red potato smashers. The Cuban was also a good choice. My wife loved it as did my son who had to finish it for her. Portions are on point with the price. No complaints. We sat outdoors and other than the flys which no real way to stop them it was a nice setting. This stop was on a long distance family vacation and was on our highlights.

    Popular place with a wide variety of choices for dinner--friendly and attentive service (if you…read moredon't see your server, ask another--they clearly work well as a team) and interesting decor. Starter and food, drinks, etc., are brought promptly to the table. This is exceptional in a highly popular tourist area. The food is good but could use a little improvement--the grilled mahi-mahi was good, but a little on the dry sauce and definitely needed a sauce. A couple of the dishes did have sauces, but fish is why most Creole restaurants like Brennan's will serve a sauce on the side, or a topping with butter such as Trout Almandine. It doesn't have to be a fancy sauce--the option of good ol' tartar sauce works. The grilled vegetables also needed a little more butter and seasoning. Carrots are good on their own; broccoli and cauliflower need a little cheese or butter and some seasoning to be loved. The IPA (Long John) was excellent. The beer cheese dip and soft pretzels were to die for; the chardonnay was passable. A great choice for dining in a VERY heavily traveled tourist destination. Get there early--it starts filling up fast and all the restaurants around Mount Rushmore close at 9.

    Stopped to enjoy a drink and appetizer at what appeared to be a cool brewery concept. We decided to…read moresit indoors since it was a rather warm day. Mistake! They have their doors wide open and it was nearly as hot indoors. And the flies were annoying. I enjoyed the Long Tom IPA but not enough to order another. Apps were pretty limited, so we opted for a pretzel with beer cheese. The cheese was great, pretzel was large but it was also dry and not very enjoyable. When I first walked in I looked at their merch and was very disappointed with their hats. Plenty of shirts and a very cool metal sign of their logo. Service was fine. We intended to eat dinner at one of their restaurants but after reviewing the menu and reviews, decided to head somewhere else as this place was a bit of a disappointment. And didn't want to further amplify the experience.
