I wasn't sure about stepping into and ordering lunch from what is clearly a tourist trap, but we…read morewere pleasantly surprised by the experience. 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.

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.

It is the restaurant of a B&B and there is seating outside and inside, but not a lot.

We had precious Lynette as our server who was all smiles and ON IT! We were going to order the 8 pc fried chicken meal but Lynette recommended the 4pc dinners so that we could have our one side and the salad/soup bar. Salad bar was fresh with many good choices. The soup was yummy too BUT the fried chicken OH MY STARS!!! I usually don't order fried chicken north of the Mason-Dixon line but I have no regrets that the devil led me to it here! 5 star slam-a-jamma! Excellent! Cooked to order and arrived to the table piping hot! Fried to perfection! I got the mashed potatoes with the chicken gravy, and that gravy was as good as grandma used to make... down in South Georgia! We are in town for three days and nights and will be back tomorrow night! Momma wants to try the pie! They give a military discount and we are so grateful for their support of military families! All around GREAT experience. OK-need to follow up-I stand by my review of the fried chicken 100% but went back the following night for dinner and had a completely different experience. Our waitress was awful-left dirty dishes on the table despite coming to our table several times. She was not rude but she wasn't nice either. My husband got the cod-said it was good but the portion was too small for the price. The only reason he didn't leave hungry is because he ate my dinner too (the second one) I ordered the hamburger steak with brown gravy and sent it back to the kitchen. So gross-limp institutional food grade garbage and my entire plate was flooded in flavorless brown gravy. One bite and that went back! So-I ordered the chicken tenders thinking they must be good since the fried chicken was so good-right? WRONG! Again-premade garbage thrown in a fryer straight from the freezer. I took one bite and gave the entire order to my husband ( he is retired Army and will eat anything) I didn't even bother to try the pie, I was so ready to get outta there! So-if you come here, eat the fried chicken...that's all I can say!
