With the same brand of ice cream sold in multiple shops along Tourist-Trap Strip, you're pretty…read moremuch guaranteed to have the same taste in all of them. I had wanted to try this brand when we visited the Mt. Rushmore KOA and was sorely disappointed they had so many unique flavors... but none that were multi-allergen friendly. Cue.... BENKY'S! Strange name, but friendly smiles and delicious creaminess-in-a-cup! I get chocolate peanut butter or some variation thereof (my favorite) at pretty much every ice cream place. Makes it easy for me to judge them more fairly. Benky's was creamy, the peanut butter swirled in very thin layers so it basically melted in your mouth... and the cute interior of the ice cream shop gave us a nice, cool air-conditioned place to relax and cool both our insides and outsides at the same time. They also had outdoor seating with umbrellas for shade if you're into running the sweat-race of "Can I finish this before it drips all over my hand or becomes a puddle of goo in my cup?" sort of thing. Overall, good ice cream, good experience and delicious.

When we walked in, the staff was standing on the counter trying to install light bulbs, which were…read moretoo big for the fixtures, so they were cutting the ends off the light bulbs (LED/plastic) with shards of plastic going all over over the counter. We ordered a couple sundaes, one of which was posted with the rest, but were informed it would be $2 more due to the ice cream they used in that particular one. Went back in to grab a couple waters and they had a table pushed up against the cooler door and an employee was standing in the table putting up another light fixture so had to wait...which is fine, but I couldn't help but wonder if they planned to clean the counter/table after standing on them. There were a handful of other customers there besides us. Ice cream was fine but nothing to write home about, especially for the price. Likely will not go back again next time we're in town...just a weird experience overall.

Jane's Boardwalk Pizza not only sold pizza but they have an ice cream shop too.

We enjoyed our treats in their spacious covered outdoor dining area. They also have a second level for more seating. Good service. Review #3491

I got two scoops, TJ's vanilla and cookies & cream. It's interesting that vanilla would cost an extra dollar but, I guess that's what the people come for! Which actually, I was very surprised that it was so good! I was happily eating my ice cream in the rain, freezing, while watching the lighting ceremony. Would definitely get another scoop of that TJ vanilla!

My friends and I wanted to get ice cream after a meal, and we were unpleasantly surprised. One of…read moremy friends got a one-scoop ice cream cone and they gave him 2 scoops. That seems like a good thing, but it wasn't. The person who scooped his ice cream was in a "hurry" to go to the bathroom or on break. The cashier called the scooper back to get my friend's ice cream. He scooped as fast as he could, handed it to my friend and walked off. By the time he received his ice cream, it was lopsided and already about to fall. He paid for his ice cream and left. But that's not all. When he walked out, it had already started dripping down his hand and arm. About 5 minutes later, he had to throw away his ice cream because it was causing a huge mess and people were staring at him. The only good thing about this, is the fact the ice cream was good.

Visited on 5/12/2026 with my family after a long morning at Mount Rushmore. The location is…read moreconvenient -- right inside the monument -- but convenience and the view are about the only things going for this place. We ordered the Philly Cheesesteak ($18), a Cheeseburger ($17.50 + $0.75), and the Grilled Chicken Platter ($14.50) for our kid. Total came out to $54.50 for three people -- which, okay, it's a tourist spot, so I expected to pay a premium. What I didn't expect was to pay premium prices for food that felt like it was barely tried. The Philly was overcooked and dry. The meat was dark and tough -- no juiciness, no flavor. For $18, that's just not acceptable. The burger looked decent but tasted flat and underwhelming. The Grilled Chicken Platter for my child was the most disappointing -- it's listed as "grilled" on the menu, but the chicken came out barely touched. Pale, soft, almost like it was steamed and then given a quick pass on the grill just for looks. The mashed potatoes and corn on the side were fine -- nothing special. I'll give credit where it's due -- the ambiance is genuinely great. Eating with a direct view of Mount Rushmore is a cool experience you won't get anywhere else, and the dining area has a nice open feel to it. Service was also okay, no real complaints there. But when you're spending $54 on a family meal and every main dish misses, the view only carries you so far. If you're visiting, pack your own food or eat before you arrive. You'll thank yourself later.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
