Great food, friendly service and indoor comfort. Ambiance is nice as all. Would return.

The people are nice. The inside smells like bleach so we had to move outside even though was cold. I swear all the food is out of a jar or bag and meat was all frozen and reheated. The burgers had to be frozen. No way they were fresh. Lettuce was half brown tomatoes looked on last day. Would definitely not recommend to anyone. read more

I had a very delicious Monumental Burger (I only got one patty). Our server, MJ, was very nice. The ambiance is nothing special. read more

We ate here as a group of 9 a few days ago. We didn't expect to end up here but we couldn't decide so..... No one had any complaints and honestly we have not found food we've LOVED while being in the Black Hills but we keep saying we'd definitely come back here. Food was standard food but cooked well and enjoyable. Waiter was pleasant and thorough. read more

A great location, with an actual big front porch with plenty of seating and fur-baby friendly! The service seemed a bit slower on the porch, but our server was pleasant enough. Prices were what you would expect for the area. The food was good, but nothing to write home about. read more

Seeing other reviews, we didn't come in with the highest of hopes, but with so many other places already closed for the season, this was where we ended up. It didn't start off well. We waited a long time to be greeted after we were seated, and then we waited for food too. Once it came, however, we were pleasantly surprised. Coffee was delicious. Omelettes and potatoes were good too. I really liked my blueberry muffin that came with my meal. Our daughter liked her Dakota special. Pancakes were delicious. Servers were also seating people, so they were working hard. They could've used more help for sure. Other than the long wait times, everything was great. read more

We were in Keystone last week. We rode the 1880 Train and as we got off, right there was The Front Porch. It was so inviting. We were pleasantly pleased. Our server was excellent and well-informed. The food was delicious. I would highly recommend the fried mushrooms. The best I've ever eaten. They were deep-fried, but not breaded. They had like a tempura batter on large sliced mushrooms. Oh so good. Enjoy! read more

We really enjoyed our dinner here while in Keystone. It was an easy 4 min walk from our hotel and our table outside had a very pretty view of the woods. We did the kids steak bites, French dip with cheese added, and the miner sandwich. Everything tasted great, though was a little slow to come out. The fries were our favorite. They were cut in a flat shape so were a little crispy. Our waitress, Katherine, was amazing. She was friendly and attentive and I laughed when our food came out and she brought ketchup AND ranch without us asking. My kids put ranch on everything and I thought that foresight was so great. They didn't have a bartender so we weren't able to order drinks, which was a disappointment. Overall, for the convenience to where we were staying and the price, I'd come here again. read more

This restaurant had indoor and outdoor seating . The food selection was great and it was fairly priced. We had fast and friendly service. The food portions were very plentiful and it was appetizing. Would definitely recommend this establishment as it provided a good environment to enjoy the scenery. read more

I was pleasantly surprised by this restaurant! After a 2-hour train ride, we were eager to find a good bite. We stopped by the Front Porch, and we all grabbed a really nice bite. The burgers were delicious, which most of my family ordered. I ordered the grilled cheese kids meal, which my son devoured. The fries were sliced potato wedges, which he loved. I ordered the portobello mushroom sandwich, which came with coleslaw. All of it was super flavorful and fresh tasting. The bathrooms were clean. Service was good. Definitely would come back if we're in the area again. read more

We are on a boys trip, checking out the old west. Having fun in deadwood and of course staying in Keystone. Decided to have breakfast and stumbled onto this little gem. I had pancakes, eggs, and bacon combination. I will say that I've never had such thick bacon before in my life, and it was absolutely delicious. Sweet cream pancakes tasty as could be. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Great place to stop for lunch after visiting Mt. Rushmore! Dog friendly patio and the server kept our dog's water dishes filled. Very friendly staff. The food was great! read more

Service and Ambience are good. Food is good if you like it coming from freezer to plate. I had to cover patty melt in ketchup and ranch dressing for it to be edible, no taste...will not be returning. read more

I was hungry for a Buffalo burger and wanted an outside table since we had our dog with us. FP is a good, but expensive option in Keystone. FP is connected to the Ramada hotel. The waiter brought me a good IPA from Sioux Falls. I had the Mountain Man Burger, a blend of wild boar, bison, elk, antelope and deer. This was a good burger. Was it REALLY a half pound of meat? I have had half-pound burgers before and this burger should have been a little bigger than it was. The patty didn't even cover the bun. Also not sure of the $17 price tag, but I would order this burger again. The fries that came with the burger were cut thin and chip-like. Very good. My family had the bacon chicken ranch wrap and the Philly cheesesteak. They liked the food, but thought it was a bit overpriced. For outdoor seating, I liked the fact that the tables are on the shady side of Keystone. Not as much people watching on this side, but very relaxing. Restrooms are near the pool area of the Ramada. Service was good, no complaints.. read more

The food was good. I had the Holy Terror burger. I was expecting a bit more spice from the house-made spicy mayo, it was a bit sweet. Overall we left with full bellies and were happy with what we got. The price was good and it was a quiet place given that many of the tourists were either on the main road or weren't around due to school starting. The service was good, the waitress checked on us often. read more

We are indoors and found there were too many flies inside the resale. Also the cloth napkins were damp and smelled awful.

Clean atmosphere, friendly service, and good food! Loved the chicken wrap- best one I have had in a while! Would go again! read more

We tried this restaurant after a long day at Crazy Horse and Mount Rushmore. They advertise as a bar, however only beer and wine are available. I had a burger which was very overcooked and dry. The fries that came with it were too thin to be french fries and too thick to be potato chips. They were very crispy (not in the good way) regardless of what they were called. Not likely we will ever be back in this part of the country again, so no follow up review will be forthcoming. read more

My mother and I came for dinner and it was the best choice we could have made to eat. Staff was super friendly, service was good and fast, food was delicious!!! The fries were flat and so yummie!!! Out wrap and sandwiches were so good I could eat there any time!!! Highly recommend!!! read more

We had lunch here during Bike Week. The service was not very good. We had to ask for drink refills, silverware, napkins and plates to share our appetizers. The grilled cheese was deemed OK, I had the Hick Chick which was pretty good. We shared the fried mushrooms which were the highlight of the visit. read more

Food was just okay. I eat plant-based and they had a portobello sandwich that I modified. My husband had a French dip. Nothing memorable. There was a fly buzzing around us the whole time. That was annoying. read more

Food was very bland no flavor and it was cold. For the price I would have expected a top notch sandwich.

Unless bilingual don't expect to get your order correct. Nice people but food is . Too many options in the area to repeat again

A very busy and casual restaurant that serves really good food, many of which are innovative, like their trout & eggs combo. They have some vegetarian choices, but most are hearty sandwiches. Cocktails & beer are available. Friendly personnel. read more

Enjoyed this restaurant, two thumbs up! We sat outside. Everyone enjoyed their food and commented on how good the "fry" chips were. They were like thin steak fries, homemade potato chips, I don't know but definitely good. Our waiter was wonderful as well. read more

The food was really good except the fries if you can call it that. Their menu is comprised of sandwiches mostly. They were really good sandwiches. The fries were a hybrid between fries and chips. They were weird and not especially good. The sweet potato fries were good and the service was so stupid slow I almost left before our food showed up. read more

Small menu. Tasty Chef Salad. Strong Long Island Tea. Good George Washington burger. Tasty Copper Penny. Gerardo was zipping around getting it done. Host, server and bussing. Dude was working hard and remained pleasant. Large family sized booths and tables. read more

This was the grossest food I have ever gotten not only from a restaurant, but in general, it was so disgusting. I couldn't even eat it.

The food is overpriced and very small portions. The service is slow. I saw a server cleaning the table with a dirty napkin. Even for a tourist trap. I do not recommend this establishment. read more

I'll keep it simple. It comes down to the food. I ordered the Holy Terror Burger, based on admittedly old but positive reviews. It was HORRIBLE. The burger was extremely overdone and dry, only made worse by the lack of spicy Mayo on the sandwich which is supposed to come on it. When the waiter checked in, I asked and received a side of mayo, but at that point my food was cold. Very disappointed. I hope this is not a typical occurrence at the establishment. For what it's worth, our server was very nice (almost earned a star back from the poor food experience). read more

Great food and service. Carla was great! Would definitely recommend. Will come back here anytime.

I'm not one to complain and usually write off bad experiences until I've had the opportunity to try something twice, but I feel like I needed to explain the situation I was in at the The Front Porch. 1. Only two out of 11 of our meals came out correct. Non of them had the correct sides - they were missing fries, dressings, and additions. 2. We had three ketchup bottles and they were all empty. We asked to have them refilled immediately and multiple times afterwards. We never got any ketchup. 3. One of the people in our party ordered a chef's salad with Italian dressing. They instead received a side salad with honey mustard dressing. 4. We received all of our food and asked for silverware. We waited 10 minutes or more for forks. 5. We asked for high chairs immediately after being seated but ordered our food and drinks before they were delivered. 6. My son's cheeseburger was missing the cheese. My wife pointed out that he wanted cheese and the waitress asked my 9 year old if he still wanted the cheese. I'd like to write this all off because they were really busy but that wasn't the case. The waitress was nice and the hostess was was great but that was where the great experience ended. We didn't ask for a discount or anything but only to not pay for all of the missing food. The waitress offered a discount but we never received it, nor did we point that out to her. We paid and left as quickly as possible. FYI - the food was 'ok' - hence the 2 stars. read more

The meal was good, but the server was a little pushy, but I guess just not been trained how to serve customers

The food was so good!!! I got the veggie wrap with steamed veggies. They were so fresh and good I wanted more! The wait was the worst part. We waited 20-30 minutes on our food. I would not recommend if you are in a hurry. Otherwise, it is a great place to eat. Also the flies are horrible, but that is because it is South Dakota and it is 100 degrees out (sarcastically). They get in your food a lot, and it's like they are all at your table, and no where else. Great Place!!! Not so good wait and terrible flies. read more

Food was good, reasonably priced, Side salad was very nice, super fresh. Good, quick service. Clean restrooms. We enjoyed our lunch here!

The food was good and service ok but we went in late, after traveling all day. I guess we weren't the only ones that eere tired.

Service was great and so was the food. The restaurant is charming. I had the Holy Terror burger and it was delicious. All 8 of us had something different and everyone loved their choice. read more

Definitely just a restaurant to grab food if you're in the area & hungry, it's made for tourists- gross food for an expensive price. The burgers were decent but the veggie burgers were terrible. They are the beyond burger patties. Taste nothing like real meat & definitely look nothing like it either. Looks incredibly fake. Would rather have a morning star black bean burger from the freezer. They service was slow, but it seemed somewhat busy, we sat outside. Flies are terrible out here. Should have some sort of fly bag traps. Bathrooms were clean. Staff was friendly. read more
