Powder House Lodge - Keystone

The service was outstanding! The ambiance was pleasant. The food was really impressive. The crab cakes were among the best I've ever tasted! The elk medallions were flavorful, though not particularly delicate. The short ribs were superb. I highly recommend dining here.

This restaurant doesn't have a "touristy" vibe but truly delivers on quality. Be sure to make a reservation or check in online; otherwise, you might face a wait of over an hour for a table. Our children were also treated with kindness; the bartender offered our four-year-old cherries and lemonade, and when our little one was unhappy, a hostess brought over coloring supplies and a page to work on. I highly recommend this place!

Restaurant Review: The Powder House restaurant food and service were excellent. The Pork shank and Powder House chicken were outstanding. We wanted to sit outdoors on their popular porch so we had to wait, but we were able to have a drink outdoors while waiting. Even though it was an hour within closing they got us in, fed us and were pleasant. Great customer service from the mature hostess as well as the server. Most dinners are between $10 and $20 per person.

Stopped in from Colorado and we LOVED IT! It was super close to our hotel and Mt. Rushmore. Before you go, call ahead and ask if you can join the waiting list?this gave us time to check out local shops before dinner but still were assured a table. The place is massive and offers a large dining room inside, an outside area with walls that open with garage doors, and a patio. It was pretty busy when we went but we still got everything super quick and it was delicious. The prime rib was to die for. Absolutely reccomend for families, couples, solo dining or big groups! Wish I remembered our servers name because she was awesome! Great job, keep it up y?all!

Food was excellent and service was very good. Enjoy it so much that we came twice during our fifth night visit in the area. Baseball steaks were delicious and perfectly cooked. You could rival Ruth? Chris or Morton, but at a reasonable price. Chicken Parm and Cordon Blue were both very good. Parking was tight, and ready to wait for a short table, but they have a small bar in the back and you can have a drink on the terrace while waiting. I'm glad we found this jewel.
