    Three meat platter (with all four meats)
    Shai B.

    Stop thinking and just come here. Super friendly service and some of (if not the best) barbecue we've ever had. Its a good thing we're just passing through custer or my waistline would rapidly balloon. Its a sin that this place has so few reviews. Come with an empty stomach and you will not be disappointed.

    Three meat plate

    Wow. So glad we found this spot. We wanted to try as much as possible and had the sausage recommended to us. Im not normally a fan of sausage, but it was the standout dish amidst four all stars. Every meat was beautifully smokey and tender, and the potato salad was bright. If you're stopping at Mt. Rushmore, this place should also be on your list as a monument to great barbecue.

    We were just passing thru and were lucky to find this place. We are from Dallas Tx and are used to good barbecue from places like famous Hard 8 and Terry Black's barbecue but the chopped brisket and pulled pork from John Boys had them beat hands down. The dry rub ribs were also excellent. Even the sides Potato salad, and coleslaw were good. Which this place was in Dallas Thai would be our go to barbecue place.

    $12.95 a bottle

    If you are ever close to Custer,SD it's worth your effort to stop at John Boys Texas BBQ. Amazing bbq meats. we had the pulled pork (two days in a row) and it was excellent. Fast service and comfortable and casual dining. This is a small local business that stays open year round so supporting them is worth your while. Side note - his house BBQ sauce is great - you can pick up a bottle and take home with you to bring back memories of the epic meal you enjoyed.

    This is some serious Texas brisket! Best that we've had in a long time. This is a great lunch or dinner when visiting Custer State Park.

    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.
