Before starting my day, I came across this amazing place, and even though I was far from home, I was greeted with a taste that made me feel right at home. Especially at this early hour, finding freshly made, piping hot gravy was an incredible feeling. On top of that, being served fluffy pancakes and crispy bacon was just perfect. The location is just a few minutes from Mount Rushmore, so after my museum visit and a few nature trails, I came back here for lunch.

I called in and ordered two burgers with well done fries. I asked about making it a double burger and was told that the burgers were 1/3 pound burgers. Turns out I would have wanted the double because it was not big at all. The burger had no flavor to it at all. The fries were not well done and when I called the number the owner was in New York and told me to go down to get my fries cooked more. I didn’t have time to do that I was on my lunch break. I have eaten multiple burgers in the Keystone area and this was by far the WORST burger I have had in this area. I wish I didn’t spend my money here.

Ordered hot roast beef sandwich. Apparently they were out of roast beef and used Philly cheese steak filling with gravy on top. Then brought out a community butter dish. Cannot recommend this establishment

Service was excellent, and the buffet was pretty good. We had a good meal and left very happy. There is a giant bison statue inside.

The food here was absolutely amazing. My husband and I stopped here for breakfast before heading to Mount Rushmore and we both agreed that we want to come here again the the time we're on vacation. Keep up the great work.
