"I have ate the Colonial House for many years. My recent visit was good. I was greeted by a friendly upon entering the restaurant. Hector was a great server! He is incredibly attentive and remember a previous order. One basic thing that I fault servers for not keeping my drink topped off. Hector did fantastic. On to the food. The prime rib was flavorful and done to perfection! The entrée was served with a decent sized fresh side salad (Cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices and a small celery stock) and omg delicious onion rings. I have had the mashed potatoes and brown gravy which I wasn't a huge fan of. I have also had the chicken wing appetizers which were great. One complaint is the steak was pretty tough. Good but not needed was the asiago cheese crust. My girl had the chicken tenders and onion rings. She had no complaints and it was definitely fresh and hot. I highly recommend the Pumpkin Torte (or 2 or more). I look forward to coming back!"

"We’re in South Dakota on vacation and happened to come across this place — and we’re so glad we did! The breakfast was absolutely amazing. The chicken fried steak was cooked perfectly, and the scramble was delicious. But the real standout? The pancakes! In my opinion, they’re a must-try — especially with the vanilla caramel sauce. The staff were equally fantastic: friendly, courteous, and made us feel right at home. Highly recommend stopping here if you’re in the area!"

"Food was amazing. Best cinnamon rolls ever. Breakfast were delicious as well, great size. Coffee had great flavor. Oh! And the sugar cookies are amazing, big, soft and delicious. We stopped there in our way to Mount Rushmore and had a lot of parking. I recommend this place 100%."

"I love diners for breakfast. My husband and I travel quite bit and have had some bad experiences, but not here. The restaurant itself is clean and well decorated, the staff is very friendly, the food is good and plentiful, even the bathroom is great. I’m somewhat picky about smell, cleanliness and overall quality and this was top notch. I watched the busboy not only clean the table top, but also wipe down every seat! We split the Dixie Plate and a pancake. Very good and more than enough for two. I highly recommend the Colonial House. We’re from Texas, but if we lived in Rapid City this would be our breakfast spot!"

"Fantastic place! We were there before and came back to have a brunch. The people working there, from the entrance until the payment were absolutely awesome. Menu is delish, you won't be wrong with the food here."
