The Black Forest was really rich with intense chocolate and cherry flavor with a sweet cream cheese icing. It's to die for. I am not a cupcake person but this place was awesome.we also had the strawberry crunch cupcake. It was very moist with lots of flavor. The cream cheese icing was packed crunch and was really good. We also had a blueberry scone which was perfect . The gentleman behind the counter made the suggestions for what to order and was right on.

This restaurant was one I found during a trip to Rapid City, SD and through YELP, so shout out to…read moreYELP. This is very much a diner style restaurant in the very best sense of the word, "DINER." The night I dined here, it was somewhat after the usual dinner rush, so the crowds were gone and the hostess led me to a corner booth near the back of the restaurant and handed me a menu. Like many diners you may have eaten at, the menu at COLONIAL HOUSE is huge. As I get older, huge menus are becoming more intimidating because they offer a large volume of selections that you have to choose from while a server is waiting (sometimes not all that patiently). That having been said, there is enough variety on the menu here that if you can't find something you'd like, you are probably a very picky eater. One surprise and also an intimidating one was the humongous portions that are delivered when your plate arrives. I knew immediately that I would not be able to finish the meal and resolved not to try and ask for a take-out box once I ate what I could finish. My dinner (what I managed to eat was excellent) and the server had no problem providing me with a take-out box. The food kept well in my hotel's room fridge and reheated well the next day for lunch. The baked products at COLONIAL HOUSE were a feast for the eyes and I ordered a piece of strawberry shortcake to take with me back to my hotel. Mouthwatering delight! If you are visiting Rapid City and want to completely SKIP over the far too numerous chain restaurants in the area and get far better food brought to you by servers who actually seem to like their jobs and the reputation of their employer, look no further than COLONIAL HOUSE. Just make sure you come with a completely empty stomach and a big appetite.

The outside was very hard, thick, and hard to bite. The filling was a tiny dot, and had very little flavor. It really didn't even taste like peanut butter. The price was outrageous! $6 for a peanut butter cup?!?! $10 for two small peices of chocolate... Value of the experience had the most influence on this review. Nah, I'm good. I just can't justify paying that kind of money for a piece of chocolate, especially when it's not great. I do a little chocolate work at home, such as truffles, fat bombs, etc... mine are better, and at 1000% less expensive. Overall, not worth it. If the price was under a dollar for each, I'd reconsider, but wouldn't get the PB cup again. Not good.
