Carver's Cafe Details
Before, after, or even during a visit to Mount Rushmore, Carver's Cafe is open to satiate your appetite. From breakfast to lunch and dinner, or even just a quick snack, there's plenty to choose from at the food-court-style cafe. Breakfast might include a full meal of eggs and bacon, or a quick cup of coffee and fresh-baked cinnamon roll. For lunch or dinner, opt for a bison burger, herb-roasted chicken, pot roast, American Buffalo Stew, or Teddy's Bison Chili, or maybe a simple personal pizza. Vegetarians have choices, too: meatless options are always on the menu, which changes seasonally. And right next door, enjoy a scoop of ice cream: for an historical treat, try TJ's vanilla, based on a recipe written by Thomas Jefferson. The cafe is wheelchair-accessible.
