    Three meat plate

    Wow. So glad we found this spot. We wanted to try as much as possible and had the sausage recommended to us. Im not normally a fan of sausage, but it was the standout dish amidst four all stars. Every meat was beautifully smokey and tender, and the potato salad was bright. If you're stopping at Mt. Rushmore, this place should also be on your list as a monument to great barbecue.

    We were just passing thru and were lucky to find this place. We are from Dallas Tx and are used to good barbecue from places like famous Hard 8 and Terry Black's barbecue but the chopped brisket and pulled pork from John Boys had them beat hands down. The dry rub ribs were also excellent. Even the sides Potato salad, and coleslaw were good. Which this place was in Dallas Thai would be our go to barbecue place.

    $12.95 a bottle

    If you are ever close to Custer,SD it's worth your effort to stop at John Boys Texas BBQ. Amazing bbq meats. we had the pulled pork (two days in a row) and it was excellent. Fast service and comfortable and casual dining. This is a small local business that stays open year round so supporting them is worth your while. Side note - his house BBQ sauce is great - you can pick up a bottle and take home with you to bring back memories of the epic meal you enjoyed.

    This is some serious Texas brisket! Best that we've had in a long time. This is a great lunch or dinner when visiting Custer State Park.

    Absolutely incredible sandwich. Spotted the deli from across the street and knew it would not…read moredisappoint Had the spicy pastrami and loved every bite !! The employee's were friendly and very pleasant. If you're in South Dakota looking for gems this is your spot!!!

    We were passing through on our way to Mt. Rushmore and needed something quick without being a full…read moresit down. This was a perfect option - there's a type of sandwich for everyone. They even were really accommodating for my son who just wanted a plain ol' meat and cheese sandwich (and they'll conveniently wrap up what you don't eat to take home!). I was so happy they had gluten-free bread available. Then the question was if I could have some of the meats so they were happy to look at the ingredient lists for me, which I really appreciated. I got the Italian and it was loaded with meat, mostly pepperoni, which quite honestly I would have done differently. I would have placed more emphasis on the other meats, but still, it was very good. Now were I dock a star is the sad gluten-free bread they gave me. It was clearly the last two slices of the loaf (yes, I got the butt) and if you know gluten-free bread, you know those slices at the ends are VERY SMALL. They don't like quite so small in my photo, but they were. I would personally not have served a sandwich using those. It made it hard to eat because the meat was so much larger and really, I kinda just felt like I was gypped a little. The interior itself isn't anything special...at all, lol. But I can get over that when they at least had a few tables to sit at and the employees were helpful and kind. I would make your way here if you're passing through!

    We stopped here for dinner, you need to go to the back room where they have seating …read more It's a very bright with clear lucite chairs and tables that are covered in a cowhide pattern. Our waiter seated us immediately, gave us menus and took our drink order. Note: they don't serve alcohol. We had there specialty chicken pot pie and a strawberry salad, both were very good. And we couldn't leave without having a piece of apple pie that was as good as mom's. The service and the food was very good and i would highly recommend the Purple Pie Place. If you just want they have an ice cream shop in front.

    A friend recommended this place to me, and she is a pie aficionado…read more I dropped in on a summer weekday afternoon and the line to order pie and ice cream was long. Fortunately it moved fairly quickly. Service was efficient and friendly. The decor is pleasant, kind of a purple Victorian farm house feel. I got a slice of the apple pie and the peanut butter pie to go. The apple pie was awesome! Redolent of cinnamon, the filling was fully cooked, full of soft apple-y goodness. The crust was flaky and sweet and might have have sugar and cinnamon baked in the top crust. Delicious! The peanut butter pie was also great. A soft, light peanut butter filling in a flaky crust. Yummy! The apple pie was the star of the show for me this visit. I can't speak to their ice cream or other offerings. But it looks like they offer lots of savory items as well as coffee drinks. The pie here is truly delicious! My friend did not steer me wrong!
