On a trip of 10 days to several states, many towns, and a few cities, this was my favorite burger and fries. And ice cream. Take time to appreciate the setting from scenes in North by Northwest. It puts you right there. The food options here are plentiful and fresh. I had no problems needing gluten free. Don't pass up on dessert. The ice cream is so good. We got the vanilla (original recipe brought over from France by Thomas Jefferson). It's so buttery! Servings aren't stingy so you may want to consider sharing.

Buffalo bacon cheeseburger did not disappoint. I was expecting a lower grade burger and was pleasantly surprised by how good it was. Came with lots of fries too. We couldn’t even finish the whole plate. There’s indoor and outdoor setting. We chose to take an indoor window seat with a view.

Soup and chili was good, Buffalo Burger/ Chicken sandwiches were ok, and the Thomas Jefferson Vanilla icecream was amazing, which gave it an extra star.
Prices were highly inflated but not as bad as it could be literally in the Mount Rushmore Monument. Line was literally out the door.

We loved our break here after walking around and taking photos. The place to eat has a lot of space, which is really nice good there are a lot of people. The place is nice and clean as well. I loved the ice cream and the food that we ordered. I'd probably order that very same ice cream when we go back here.

We stopped to eat and were the only ones in there. Tons of seating options but not a single table was clean. Every single table was disgusting and filthy there was ketchup smeared on one of the main entry glass doors like someone threw packets of ketchup against the glass. The employees were walking around with nothing to do and not a single person could clean any tables off.. The rest of the monument was great and very clean but his place was horrible.

The food is comparable to that available in any government run tourist facility, not remarkable, but certainly not bad. But the views are absolutely incredible. Fun place for breakfast, lunch, or just an ice cream cone.

Pretty good food for a tourist shop. Good service and can't beat the views. During the summer be sure and take advantage of the patio. If you like ice cream, this is ideal
