    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.

    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.

    A friend recommended this place to me, and she is a pie aficionado…read more I dropped in on a summer weekday afternoon and the line to order pie and ice cream was long. Fortunately it moved fairly quickly. Service was efficient and friendly. The decor is pleasant, kind of a purple Victorian farm house feel. I got a slice of the apple pie and the peanut butter pie to go. The apple pie was awesome! Redolent of cinnamon, the filling was fully cooked, full of soft apple-y goodness. The crust was flaky and sweet and might have have sugar and cinnamon baked in the top crust. Delicious! The peanut butter pie was also great. A soft, light peanut butter filling in a flaky crust. Yummy! The apple pie was the star of the show for me this visit. I can't speak to their ice cream or other offerings. But it looks like they offer lots of savory items as well as coffee drinks. The pie here is truly delicious! My friend did not steer me wrong!

    Cute little (actually pretty large) place with excellent food, quick friendly service, and good ice…read morecream. I had the Chicken Pot Pie, so good. It had plenty of carrots and peas in a thick creamy gravy, snd plenty of big chunks white meat chicken, and side crust not just the little crust on top a lot of places seem to be doing nowadays. It's made here, and it's their specialty. I saw they had strawberry-rhubarb pie and planned on getting a piece. But then noticed their Raspberry-rhubarb-jalapeño and decided I needed to try that. Alas the time for a concert I was going to was fast approaching and I didn't have time for any pie

    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.

    Beer is pretty good! I enjoyed a flight and we ordered the pretzels + beer cheese and mozzarella…read moresticks and both were just what we were looking for. They brought our puppy a bowl of water and a bone to chew on which was very nice. The patio is spacious and the ambiance is fun. Good spot!
