If you're visiting Mount Rushmore and looking for a place to eat before or after your visit, I…read morecan't say enough about the Powder House restaurant. It is a must stop. Service was really good from the time I called to be added to the waitlist to our hostess all the way to our server. The food came out at a reasonable time. Ordered: -Kids spaghetti -Kids cheeseburger and fries -Ribeye- a little chewier but still a great cut. -Prime rib made perfectly very flavorful I was super surprise and highly recommend prime rib if you are a prime rib fan. It comes with two sides which I got to pay extra and ordered the garlic fries. Overall, I highly recommend stopping by here to dine. I have no complaints whatsoever. It was actually the best meal I have had during my visit to this state. When my sister in law recommended this spot, I did not think that I would have enjoyed it as much as I did. Just because there is not much food options in the area and I didn't think that this spot could produce really good food since I am from California and am a foodie. And well Powder House is kinda in the middle of no where. Well, 2 thumbs up from this Yelper. Add this spot to your bookmark and make sure you go! Tips: -Call ahead to be added to their waitlist. -Indoor seating only -Alcohol served here -They have a kids menu -They have their own private parking lot -Credit card accepted -They do charge for splitting plate of eight dollars. -Restroom available. -Very laidback casual atmosphere.

Thought we would try this place What a MISTAKE!…read more Just left about 4 hours ago and I am still on fire .. The service was TERRIBLE . There were maybe 3 tables and 2 cooking and 2 serving . Food took about 40 minutes . Was so mad that the service took so long and seeing the return plates due to ""cooks""" making mistake , Not the young man serving . The lady running the place was tweaking and the long haired cook guy coming in and out rubbing his nose . I wanted to walk out but my husband said give them a chance . The food was dry and flavorless .. SO DISAPPOINTED! Will not be coming back . What a waste of time and money . I guess if you like greasy foods and Tweakers this is a place for you !

My buddy and I were just off a long motorcycle ride, and after seeing the hilarious gunfight next store our stomachs were growling so we stepped in. He ordered the loaded nachos, and I had an Indian Taco on fry bread. I know, I know; it's no longer politically correct to say 'Indian' but somehow 'Native American Taco' just sounds worse. Both meals were generously portioned and the ingredients fresh while the price was right. The restaurant was well staffed, dark and cool, which was just what the doctor ordered for a couple of weary travelers. The bathroom was surprisingly large, and impeccably clean. It was just a quick stop for lunch but it was well worth it.

Frequently coming back to other tables to check if anything was needed, striking up conversation, mentioning the specials of the day (which i would've gotten if i had been offered them and hadn't heard after already ordering). We got none of that. As for the food, it's okay. Nothing to write home about for $50 dollars between a drink, an appetizer, and two mid size entrees. I'm assuming the issue is that my partner and I are both in our mid 20s and have the stereotype of not tipping, which is understandable. This dining experience we definitely did hold up the stereotype based on the complete lack of decent service. If you're anywhere below mid 30s, I'd take your money elsewhere. There's a Pizza Hut a block away that's tasty, friendly, and 1/5 of the price.

Open only later in the day, the dining room offers a very sophisticated menu that's not readily available in the downstairs brewery. The dining room has a full bar, and of course all their wonderful beers, and a menu that will just blow your mind! An extensive selection of appetizers, entrées, and sides to satisfy any taste and diet. The salads are phenomenal and the staff will accommodate just about any request, including shared salads, substitutions, etc. This was such a hit that we tried it twice in one week. Entrées like bison, Oso Buco, Cornish Hen, Quail, an array of beef selection, as well as vegetarian options that includes pastas, etc. Yum! The service is just outstanding! Super friendly, eager to please, and really professional. Touting itself as the "pounding father's brewery", the names does not necessarily portray the sophistication of the dining room experience. This is a must stop! Check out the mount Rushmore brewing company, and in particular their dining room upstairs

The combo app was definitely previously frozen, and the teriyaki chicken had to be the smallest piece of chicken I've ever been served. The walleye was large but lacked any type of flavor.
