Powder House

"What a charming, delicious place! There aren't many highly rated eateries among the cluster that is close to the Mount Rushmore landmark, however this place is just a mile or two outside of that--totally worth it. Powder House (also their lodging) has been around for decades and the patio views are breathtaking. Our server was adorable, energetic and helpful (forgot her name, sorry!). I ordered the Queso burger, subbing a side salad (a little small perhaps) for fries, which was crisp and delicious with (I'm guessing) homemade ranch dressing. The burger's attention to detail included crispy crumbled bacon, crunchy dill pickles, Queso (could have used more imo), jalapenos, and the ever sublime toasted Brioche bun. In the dining room, you'll feel like you're at a cross between a retro ski lodge and vintage log cabin."

"Had an amazing time staying here. The cabins are spaced out well and on the hillside and gives you a great sense of privacy from your neighbors. We stayed in the honeymoon cabin and being able to relax outside in a hot tub was a fantastic way to start and end the day. We ended up having dinner and breakfast down at their restaurant as well. The servers were friendly, fast and stayed on top of things and the food was absolutely delicious. Will definitely stay here again when I’m in the area."

"Great room, facilities, restaurant, and location. I’m so glad I chose this place for my Black Hills trip. 3 meals a day are available 50ft from my room. We had prime rib and crab cakes on the first night and both were perfect. Our waitress, Kenna was great. Our bartender was also great, but I don’t remember her name unfortunately. We were helped by half a dozen others in the restaurant and check in desk and they were all very nice."

"Review for restaurant only. We were hoping for an old school supper club experience and that is exactly what we got at the Powder House! Beautiful atmosphere, wonderful and professional service. My husband loved the Game Meat Sampler entree and I enjoyed the Buffalo Medallions. All of the meats were tender and well seasoned. They have a large menu and everything sounded so good it was hard to choose! Be sure to call ahead about an hour before you want to eat and get on their waiting list!"

"Had dinner at the Powder House restaurant on Saturday (9/16). The restaurant interior was extremely nice. Service was exceptional. We ordered and highly recommend the Wild Game Sampler (featuring Elk medallions, Bison short ribs and samples of house made Elk and Bison sausage). The meal was incredible to say the least. We topped dinner with a cherry - rhubarb crumble. Make Powder House your dinner destination when visiting Keystone (Mt Rushmore) SD."
