Carvers' Café in South Dakota

"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."

"Cafe that's located near the Mount Rushmore national monument. There's plenty of seating here. There's two different counters - one serves ice cream, the other serves actual food. The service was okay, not bad. Food came out on a tray, as if you're at school. The taste was pretty good, but it wasn't amazing. The biggest standout was that the room was really breezy - there were fans going on full blast that were constantly blowing away my napkins."

"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."

"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."

"You kind of expect to pay roo much at a place like this. Ten bucks for a hotdog which came with a few fries was not exhorbitant . Or was rasry and the place was clean . Staff were friendly enough too . I'm deeply confused how an earlier review gave a growing reference about how lovely the staff was then gave them 3 stars . For what it is this place is great . It's not the Ritz or a Michelin star restaurant but the food is fresh and the staff are helpful ."

"Great service, amazing food (bison burgers were cooked perfectly), and well kept inside!"

"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."

"I believe this might be my fourth visit over my lifetime to Mount Rushmore and it never gets old. This was our first time to eat at Carvers Cafe. My wife and I had the pot roast dinner for only $11. It was delicious and did not disappoint."
