Well, we found THE local spot for ice cream that was out of this world! Place was very well visited and everyone was enjoying their selection. You know how I know? There wasn't a lot of talking, and a lot of enjoying their ice cream! Service was more than hospitable when ordering and shouted out your name when your order was ready. Watching the team work preparing everything was also a sight to see....all hustling and enjoying working there. Looking forward to coming back and trying something new. We enjoyed the Almond Joy Malt, the Tiger Sundae, Winchester Style, and a medium Vanilla Cone.

I always stop by when I’m in town, this time when I was ordering, I heard a young girl telling her mom she didn’t want a chocolate ice cream cone, but wanted a vanilla cone instead. The mother informed her that she did indeed say she wanted chocolate and not vanilla…. So I did the right thing to pay it forward and bought the girl’s vanilla ice cream cone and directed the staff to give it to her. I didn’t say anything to anyone, just trying to keep peace in this world. I hope you do something good for someone else someday soon too! My ice cream was amazing… as usual

Saw this line and knew it's probably good. It did not disappoint. Line went pretty quick too. Probably the best waffle cone ever. Not bad pricing for what you get.

Let's start with the good- this place is lively and has plenty of parking and also seating options to enjoy the ice cream. The bad - some of the ice cream flavors can be out of sync and therefore not desirable. Choose your flavors wisely. This place is decent and I will recommend it if you are visiting Rapid City,.SD.
