HJem A.M. was such a unique and unexpected experience in Custer, SD. We decided we needed to try it because we dined at their sister restaurant, Skogen Kitchen and we're blown away. We are happy we made time to visit HJem as well. We started with the deviled eggs, I could not believe the amount of different flavors that existed in one bite. If you like smoked salmon they are a must try. My husband had the French toast and he enjoyed it. It was a very rich dish with a solid mixture of savory and sweet. I had the chicken and waffles and they were awesome. The dish is a huge portion, I probably ate 1/4 of it. Definitely a dish to share, and one I would order again. The main reason I am not giving this place five stars is it seemed odd to me that they have such elevated brunch dishes culinary wise, but they don't offer espresso, lattes, etc. Must visit if in Custer! read more

Great food and great service! I highly recommend the deviled eggs and chicken and waffles. My wife loved her lingonberry pancakes too. Even though I t was a busy Sunday brunch, the owner made it a point to come and meet us. Nice touch. I would recommend making a reservation. read more

I used to travel to Custer frequently as a child on family vacations. Recently I went back and ran into a quaint breakfast restaurant. Hjem AM. I'm used to walking into a restaurant in Custer for breakfast knowing whatever I was ordering wouldn't exactly be the best. Until I walked into Hjem. Custer needed this. Not only were the staff friendly and efficient, but the food was incredible. I was able to thank the chef and his lovely fiancé that works the front of house. I will definitely be going back there for an early meal. Kudos! Ps. Order the deviled eggs. read more

The BEST eggs Benedict I have ever had! All the choices are exquisite. Check hours and dates of operation and do NOT miss this heavenly spot for breakfast. Lovely owner. read more

I have to say this is by far most the best restaurant here in town for brunch, the customer service is top notch like I literally came a little over a month ago and my same waiter remembered not only my food but everyone's food that was with me, Eric you rock! I also want to shout out a special person Cami she figured things out with my party, even when things didn't go as planned or even the cancellation, she was very professional about the whole situation and very apologetic. She saw my email and reached out immediately I am grateful to know that she cares and I thank you! read more

Wow what a find. Fantastic food, friendly atmosphere and wonderful attentive service.

We were directed to HJem by family who eaten there a couple of months back. They raved about the Morning Walleye and the Rice pudding. We ordered both and WOW they were delicious. We also tried the Deviled Eggs and Oysters. The food here is top notch and the service/wait staff efficient and very friendly. read more

Delicious food. Everyone told us to go here (locals) and we are so glad we did! Fancier for breakfast but so good. Make a reservation!!!

The best breakfast we've had in a long time! The chef is amazing and we had great service. We will be back!!

Best breakfast experience of my life. Appetizers with breakfast? Never thought I would have smoked salmon deviled eggs with caviar or oysters on the half shell for breakfast. Try something new and enjoy!! read more

The food is delicious! I got the Eggs Benedict and hubs had eggs with bacon and potatoes. We split the rice pudding, that was phenomenal! The staff were friendly and attentive. The overall vibe is awesome. I highly recommend! read more

We were excited about breakfast here but were turned away because we didn't have a reservation. I understand crowds and maybe being understaffed, but it would be a great idea to specify on webpage, social media, etc that reservations are usually required. read more

We had dinner on a snowy Saturday morning to celebrate a friend's birthday. Our group of eight had mimosas, oysters and several different menu items and everyone absolutely loved their breakfast. Definitely worth the trip to Custer! read more

This restaurant is a gem that recommended to us by a local that raved about this place to us. We decided to make a reservation to check it out for ourselves. It did not disappoint. My wife ordered the Eggs Benedict and it was prepared and abundant. I had Custer's Last Meal and it was delicious. The service was outstanding and the owner was delightful and came out to visit with us before we left. We went there for our anniversary and we will definitely return if ever back in Custer. read more

Walleye for breakfast?...YES. Meal was delicious and service was wonderful. Every table around us raving about their meals as well.

Amazing atmosphere, food and service. Thank you Cami and her team!!! I may have to go back before I leave to try to salmon deviled eggs! The quiche was amazing!!! read more

Hjem A.M. - Coffee-mimosa - New American Near Me - Custer, South Dakota

See all

I hesitate giving high reviews as it encourages others to go (and ace me out of MY table:). The walleye is tender, white fish with an exceptional sauce. The eggs Benedict have a hollandaise sauce from scratch. Then pancakes with lingonberries...mmmm! Call for reservations. Outdoor seating an option. read more

Fantastic new breakfast option in Custer - although we expected nothing less since it's a "sister" business to Skogen. Make your reservations and enjoy. You'll never want to eat anywhere else for breakfast again. Eggs, pancakes, oysters, belini/ mimosa or rice porridge? Whatever your AM craving - find it and phenomenal service at Hjem AM! Kudos !! We will be back. read more

Wow...Japanese French Toast, Walleye and Eggs Benedict. Where can you get this kind of decadent food in Custer...only here. Goof Service, Fair Price, home-y vibe with great menu. Everything was great. I'll be back for sure. read more

Wow! What a great place for breakfast. Service is outstanding and the food is wonderfully prepared and delicious! We had our dog with us so patio seating was a must and they easily accommodated us. We loved our 3 days/nights in Custer and HJem AM became our go-to place for breakfast all 3 mornings. Business owners in Custer are authentically friendly and look out for each other. Think this small town of 3,000 serves 1 - 2 million visitors during tourist season. We'll be back! read more

Great breakfast place! Chef quality meal with top notch service. Add the small town charm and you won't go wrong. One of the owners worked the quaint, but upscale, dining room the other masterfully worked the kitchen. Staff was superb. read more

Awesome service, warm reception and wonderful, wonderful food. I was given a free dessert for my birthday:)

Went for the first time this AM. Excellent service, excellent food. So many things I wanted to try so I'll have to go back-often. Had the pancakes Mojoe with fried chicken, hot sauce, and syrup. Amazing. Also had the deviled eggs with smoked salmon. Also amazing. A couple mimosas made for the perfect breakfast - I'll be skipping lunch. A must-try on your way through Custer. read more

Hjem AM feels like dining at your cool, world-traveled, favorite aunt's house, if that aunt was also a top-tier chef. The menu is unexpected - things you'd never think to put together make up absolutely superb dishes that will cater to every palate. All of the flavors are perfectly balanced and the dishes perfectly cooked, and the staff and owners are exceedingly friendly and great to talk to. The atmosphere was sophisticated and welcoming, perfect for both brunch with friends and breakfast with my 4 year old. Hjem AM is a must-do for anyone traveling to Custer, SD. read more

Very friendly with great service. Food was fantastic. My new brunch spot. Had a choice of inside or outside dining. Very family (kid) friendly yet has a sweet intimate feel. read more

Was in the area visiting family and we picked this new restaurant for breakfast. The food was amazing. Each of us had a different meal and no one was disappointed.

The food was absolutely delicious and the staff were all very friendly. I'd definitely recommend stopping by while in Custer! Best meal in the area. read more

This restaurant was highly recommended by another restaurant owner. I really wanted to love this place & right from the beginning it looked wonderful. Then we got our breakfasts which looked pretty good but my husband ordered eggs over medium & they were very over easy & some of the potatoes were bit under cooked. My husband was fine finishing his breakfast but we thought to mention it so they could be more careful next time. We told our waiter & later a lady came over to tell us that she was giving us a discount. It turned out to be a $1 discount. First of all we weren't looking for a discount, we just wanted to let them know so they can improve. The $1 discount was more insulting to us! The total bill was over $40 & we were happy to pay for it. But if you're going to give a discount then make it at least 10%. Also for a nice finer breakfast place... they need to find a better coffee. This place has the potential of being a great place. read more

Loved our first visit to Hjem and we will be regulars. So many great choices you need multiple visits to try all the great food! We started with the Deviled Eggs then had the Morning Walleye and the Eggs Benedict. All were not only wonderfully presented they were delicious! Service is top notch so perfect way to start your morning. read more

The owner is very unprofessional. My family went out for breakfast and in the beginning we're loving it. We didn't have a reservation but we're seated on the patio. My bf ordered BOTTOMLESS mimosas and I had a hard ice coffee. My son had chocolate milk lol. Our food was amazing and that pains me to say because the owner left such a horrendous taste in my mouth. Promptly after taking our last bite our server brought our check. It was 80 and I tipped 20. Our server stopped filling up my bf mimosas after we payed. I still had over half of my hard coffee so I informed him we were staying longer to drink and asked if he would give pour some more champagne. He gave my bf the rest of the bottle that he had and said polish this off and walked away. There was very little in the bottle and my bf still had over half over his orange juice that they bring to mix your own mimosas. The server then came back and filled up everyone's mimosas but his. So I went to talk with the owner. She brought out some more champagne and then asked me for my ID. I was caught off guard as we had already been drinking and I wasn't even the one drinking mimosas as I'm allergic to orange juice. I gave it to her and she went back inside. Again the server went and poured everyone else's mimosas and not my bfs so I asked him if he could get some champagne. His response was let me go see and then he comes back again without saying anything to us and fills everyone's AGAIN. So I went inside to speak with the own again where she informed me I was too drunk and that she had people waiting for the table so we needed to leave. I had one hard coffee I was not in the slightest drunk or even tipsy. I asked for my tip back and left. read more
