Carvers' Café

The chicken strips and buffalo burger were more like jerky. So dry it was hard to swallow. You would think a place as busy and popular would have decent food. Our daughter and son had soup and pizza that were better tasting but not for the price.

Great place to eat a meal and find coffee & Ice cream, a lot of options for adults and kids to eat..
You can find pizza, burgers and sandwiches and much more! Including Ice cream!!

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.
