We rolled in right before close but the staff was still very friendly. The restaurant is cute & clean. The pies....amazing. I'm pretty picky about rhubarb pie, and theirs gets two thumbs up from me. My husband got the raspberry rhubarb jalapeño pie & it's now his new favorite. It just works. The crusts are crisp and flaky. We'll be back the next time we're in Custer! read more

Coming from Wisconsin where we pride ourselves to having the best ice cream/custard, when a place says home made ice cream they better make it real good. This place outsources their ice cream. I think it's by kemps, but the ice cream we got looked and tasted old. Like it's been sitting there for a few weeks. I say this cause you can tell it's more ice, than cream. It has a weird sweetness to it. It doesn't taste like real dairy or at all fresh made like they advertised. The pie was ok. The crust was fine, but the filling seemed like store bought pudding with some coconut mixed into it. Not enough coconut. Not something I would come back for. Over all they say everything is home made. They're not. read more

This pie was so good! Definitely get it a la mode with ice cream. I've never had bumble berry before, but it was so good. It's a little pricey for a piece of pie, but was filling and so tasty. I would DEFINITELY recommend. They have plenty of indoor seating and they offer food too, but we just tried the pie. EDIT: we went back to try the ice cream. The chocolate ice cream was very rich and the waffle cone was very good. The lemon berry ice cream was good too, like if a multi-berry pie became an ice cream. It was very good! read more

I kept seeing reviews and TikTokers telling me we had to try this place and we weren't disappointed! We never made it back for pie and I've cream but we did have a meal here our first night in Custer. I had the chicken pot pie and my hubby had some type of sandwich, both were delish! Service was great but this place is BUSY! Everything's purple including their iconic pig out front. read more

While visiting a friend in South Dakota, I found myself driving through the cute town of Custer. Immediately the bright purple building caught my eye. They are known as a pie place but they also have lunch and ice cream. I had to have the coconut crème pie and the rhubarb-strawberry-jalapeño pie. Yeah, that last one sounds weird but it is fantastic, with only the slightest burn after you swallow. You cannot go wrong with this cute little diner. I went back several times while in the area because it is that good! read more

Our friends recommended we stop at the Purple Pie Place which is housed in a large Purple house on Rushmore Blvd. It is a quaint little dining place, the staff are friendly and knowledgeable regarding the multiple flavors! We decided to try their famous pies, we ordered a Brambleberry pie which was a combination of blueberry, raspberry, rhubarb,and blackberry. My husband ordered the raspberry rhubarb, jalapeño pepper pie. The Brambelberry pie was delicious and the pie my husband ordered with jalapeño was absolutely delicious! You can dine in there or you can take a piece of pie to go. We highly recommend you stop and order a piece of pie! read more

Decided to try this very purple place advertising pies. Ice cream (homemade) bar and pick up food in front. We had a nice table in back by an old fire stove. Purple inside and they play a different kind of music sound track. We were cold since 40 outside and 20 mph winds so we both ordered the chicken pot pie. What a good decision. Delicious!!! Served in a bowl and the bowl is lined with crust. Then chicken and carrots and peas and sauce with a heart crust on top. YUMMMMM. I couldn't finish it. No room for pie, which they have many different kinds. Need to go back for soup and a sandwich. Or maybe the chicken pot pie again. read more

Love, love, love Purple Pie Place. My family stopped in for lunch while in town visiting. We ordered our meals and polished them off with pie and that is obviously (because it's in the name) the highlight of the visit. We each ordered a different pie and every one was absolutely delicious. My wife ordered the rhubarb, my sone the apple and I ordered the jalapeno rhubarb all a la mode, of course. The crust on this pie is the best I've had. I am not one to order pie other than Holidays but this was well worth it. The jalapeno was good with a little spice. The flavor of the jalapeno was good but I would have like the pie better without. Regardless, they were all excellent! Service was really nice and quick. It's a nice, quant spot for both savory and sweets. read more

The tourists love to fill the cute establishment and grab a pie slice and ice-cream. Cute decor, loved the pig outside. The cream pie is better than the fruit pies. Some bites were a bit undercooked, they automatically warm the fruit pies which some may like but I like cold pie. You jump in line and order at the counter. read more

Purple Pie Place - Strawberry Rhubarb slice - Desserts Near Me - Custer, South Dakota

A popular place! Line was long, but moved quickly. We got the strawberry rhubarb pie and the peanut butter pie (with plans to split those) and a scoop of huckleberry ice cream. One thing is that we had asked if the ice cream could be set on the side (because we have someone who is lactose intolerant) and the girl smiled at us and put the ice cream right on top of the rhubarb pie, so we had to take some quick action to salvage the half of pie that the lactose intolerant person could eat. The peanut butter had a more subtle flavor and the strawberry rhubarb was sweet. The huckleberry ice cream was good, but still cant beat the huckleberry fudge ice cream sold in some of the national parks. Make sure you get a picture with the purple pig in front. 2024 #48 read more

We had some extra time between visiting Wind Cave and Jewel Cave, so we stopped here for a treat. I got the Raspberry Jalapeño Rhubarb Pie with Peachy Keen Ice Cream. It was the best pie I've had in a long time. The jalepeño added some flavor with a hint of spice that paired perfectly with the sweet raspberry and tart rhubarb. I will come back here every time I'm in Custer! read more

We were coming back from Crazy Horse Memorial and my hubby suggested pie. I looked for best pie in Custer and this place popped up!

This place has the cutest ambiance and decor. It's a purple house right of the main highway you can't miss. Up front is a the ice cream parlor with seating toward the rear. They have a small soup, sandwich, and salad menu with various ice creams and homemade pies. The paninis were okay - they come with a bag of lays potato chips. The ice cream and pies were amazing! Next time we will stop by for the pie alone! Both of the waiters we had were fast, and very accommodating. We will be back. read more

We ate at Purple Pie Place as part of Operation Black Hills Cabin. The food was delicious and the small town service was excellent. I recommend the pot pie for dinner or lunch. The chicken salad sandwich was wonderful as well. Don't even get me started on the pies. WOW they are GOOOD! Try them all, I did. Purple Pie Place, thank you for supporting Operation Black Hills Cabin and for supporting our wounded veterans. read more

June 21, 2025 We have stopped here several times in the past. It is always busy and you can't miss it if you are driving down the highway. We have found the pies to be really good. The ice cream is ice cream and nothing special. The people who work there are very friendly. they have inside and outside seating which was convenient to us as we had our dog with us. They also have other food you can get too but we have always just gone for the pies and/or ice cream. Fun for all ages. read more

This place is great!! I had the brownie s'mores ice cream and if you love graham crackers like I do, this will be your new favorite ice cream. My sons had moose tracks and chocolate. Both delicious. The variety of ice cream flavors gave me FOMO. We also tried the peach and bumbleberry pie (mix of blueberry, apple, blackberry and more). Amazing!! The lunch looked worth trying! We will be back for sure!! read more

FANTASTIC fresh pie, I enjoyed both the Rhubarb and Peach during my week of site seeing in the area . Good variety of Ice cream choices. An absolute must try when in Custer read more

Cute place. Glad we stopped. Super busy for lunch and when we went in only one waitress was serving and this poor girl was busting her butt. She was really sweet and was patient and thorough in recommending pie when my husband decided to act like he had never eaten pie in his life. Wish I had gotten her name because this girl was hustling and was very kind. Very limited lunch menu- hot dog, chicken salad, pulled pork sandwich, chicken pot pie and Mac & cheese. Because of that, you do get your food quickly. Husband liked his pulled pork- it was plain just BBQ pulled pork on a kaiser. With a bag of Lay's. The chicken pot pie was a generous bowl with bottom crust and a crust chip on top. Very heavy on the celery but lovely tender chunks of chicken. The dessert pies were good- J got the bumbleberry which was raspberry, rhubarb, strawberry and blackberry I think. It was very good and a good recommendation from our waitress. I got the peanut butter pie- it was served very chilled so it was hard, like hard ice cream consistency. Peanut butter flavor was very good. 1 soda, 1 water, chicken pot pie, pulled pork sandwich and two slices of pie- $42 before tip. read more

All the reviews were right on. We tried the Peach and Bumbleberry pie with a scoop of ice cream. They both were yummy. Worth a stop.

We were here in 2019 & love it. We were back in town today & it's still just as good. The pie is excellent. My wife loves the strawberry rhubarb. I had the blackberry. If it's homemade they fake it well! I had the turkey bacon panini. It was good. We also got a large Mac & cheese to share & it was also quite good. Iryna was attentive & knowledgeable about the menu. She was even able to list all 16 flavors of ice cream! It was quiet in the dining area. It is over priced, but in the Black Hills on the 4th of July so is just about everything! Absolutely worth a stop! read more

They had great pies with ice cream. My favorite was blueberry which i have never tried before. Ambience is good and service is fast too.

This place is definitely different. They have a food menu but I have only ever had pie and ice cream. Pies are very good but not to die for. However, once you top with ice cream they get better. Not to overwhelming selection. Must have a berry pie and add huckleberry ice cream. read more

If you like ice cream with your pie, this is the place! There is a small restaurant and the food looks pretty yummy.

This is a great place for lunch or a snack! We had the chicken pot pie, a BLT on sourdough rye marble bread, and broccoli cheddar soup. The food was as excellent and the service was also. Last night we stopped for ice cream and pie (also excellent)!! read more

This is third time as locals eating here and this is not a good representation of pie. The pie crust lacks flavor and flakiness. The ice cream was ice cream. My pie went in the trash. My husband regretted his calories. I will have to make pie now to make up for this. Never warm pie in microwave it just turns it into rubber. read more

Place is so cute! And owner was amazing! Went out of his way to accommodate us with a whole pie since we'd waited for the place to open and we were heading out of town! Awesome guy, great service, above and beyond and we can't wait to try the pie! We got the bumbleberry which was all the fruits so we figured that had to be a hit right?? Little of everything! Highly recommend just based off the service! And every time we drove by this place on our trip, it was packed, so you know it's good haha thanks for the pie and even better service read more

Pie was good, but the owner was nasty and extremely unwelcoming! The coffee SUCKS! I'd never come to this establishment. They've lost a customer for sure! We were with a tour and was chastised for requesting ala mode with the pie. I would have pay additional, but the owner was so grumpy, I decided I didn't want to give him my $. read more

Good choice for dessert. Loved my blackberry pie. Almost as good as Pie Town New Mexico.

Sorry, but I was disappointed in their blueberry pie. Filling was thick and dry. Ice cream was also just ok.

We had the strawberry rhubarb as well as the bumble berry and they were both delicious. This place has a cute design inside and outside. read more

On our way to the Holiday Inn in Custer North Dakota we went by this cute little place Purple Pie Place. We definitely had to try this out and we did. It's a very popular place with long lines and friendly people. Also they serve food and a large dining area inside, and plenty of outdoor seating. Hubby had a piece of Blackberry pie and ice cream I just had Rocky-road ice cream. Even took la Vida a cup of ice cream back to her at the holiday Inn. read more
