    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.

    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.

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!

    Popular place with a wide variety of choices for dinner--friendly and attentive service (if you…read moredon't see your server, ask another--they clearly work well as a team) and interesting decor. Starter and food, drinks, etc., are brought promptly to the table. This is exceptional in a highly popular tourist area. The food is good but could use a little improvement--the grilled mahi-mahi was good, but a little on the dry sauce and definitely needed a sauce. A couple of the dishes did have sauces, but fish is why most Creole restaurants like Brennan's will serve a sauce on the side, or a topping with butter such as Trout Almandine. It doesn't have to be a fancy sauce--the option of good ol' tartar sauce works. The grilled vegetables also needed a little more butter and seasoning. Carrots are good on their own; broccoli and cauliflower need a little cheese or butter and some seasoning to be loved. The IPA (Long John) was excellent. The beer cheese dip and soft pretzels were to die for; the chardonnay was passable. A great choice for dining in a VERY heavily traveled tourist destination. Get there early--it starts filling up fast and all the restaurants around Mount Rushmore close at 9.

They brew their own beer and have a laid-back atmosphere that fits perfectly after a day spent hiking and sightseeing! It's also conveniently located right in Custer, which is another reason we liked staying in town -- you can spend your day exploring the Black Hills and still have plenty of local places to check out when you get back!
