The food was good considering where you are. We were grateful to find a place for lunch that did not Have burgers or chicken fried steak We ended up eating lunch here two days. First day we got sandwiches - chicken salad and the avocado toast with chickpeas Second time - Mac and cheese and turkey sandwich Everything was decent thought not amazing - the added chickpeas on the avocado toast was a nice touch Pie is where they excel we tried peach, apple and peanut butter and a berry pie They were busy both times and the waitress was working hard They advertise soup on an electronic sign outside, which I was looking forward to - but it's only served on weekends read more

We stopped here for dinner, you need to go to the back room where they have seating . It's a very bright with clear lucite chairs and tables that are covered in a cowhide pattern. Our waiter seated us immediately, gave us menus and took our drink order. Note: they don't serve alcohol. We had there specialty chicken pot pie and a strawberry salad, both were very good. And we couldn't leave without having a piece of apple pie that was as good as mom's. The service and the food was very good and i would highly recommend the Purple Pie Place. If you just want they have an ice cream shop in front. read more

A friend recommended this place to me, and she is a pie aficionado. 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! read more

Cute little (actually pretty large) place with excellent food, quick friendly service, and good ice cream. 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 read more

Reviewing dessert only. We each had a slice of pie with scoop of ice cream. It was just ok. I agree with the other review about the pie fillings...it looked like it was store bought. The crust was good though. Ice cream was good enough. This place was packed every day we were there. Possibly lunch is the main attraction. I would not return for pie. 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

Omg. We are visiting from California and wanted a good dinner that hit the spot. This place is the only spot I have found that makes a better chicken pot pit than I do. And believe them when they say the Mac n cheese is also a specialty. I had to order a second order of the Mac n cheese because my kids inhaled the first so quickly. I had blackberry pit which was lovely, and the crust was a real home made crust. Ice cream to me is always just ice cream. But if you are looking for a good meal with quick service - come here! read more

We stopped here to pick up dinner for our kids and ordered a few different items, including the mac and cheese. Unfortunately, after placing the order, we were told they had run out of cheese and substituted Parmesan instead, which wasn't quite what we expected. Overall, the food was underwhelming and lacked flavor. The pie was decent, but it wasn't enough to make up for the rest of the meal. 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!

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

It's been a long time since I've had Blackberry pie. The crust was flaky and reminded me of my grandmothers. The store itself was decorated in old fashioned ice cream parlor style. Service was friendly. read more

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

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

Let me begin with the apple and peach pie were very good. This review is strictly for the chili and dinner roll. The chili tasted like Hormel Canned chili, absolutely awful, and the dinner roll was hard as a rock. Our order was to go and the young man behind the counter appeared more interested in getting back to his phone than providing decent customer service but yet still hit me with the blessed tip screen. Im a very good tipper but I expect decent food and service in return. read more

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

1st time in years a big disappointment. Bought 2 rhubarb pies $75.00. Pies were in a plastic container that was difficult to open & had sharp edges making it easy to cut yourself. However the big disappointment was the soggy crust! The filling was great but had to toss the bottom crust to the birds. 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.

We will be back for sure!! 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.
