The most popular restaurant in Hill City! Alpine Inn has two menu items: a filet with a potato or a vegetarian option. Come for lunch and try a completely different menu! Their salads are awesome. Expect a wait as they don't take reservations. Tip: Bring cash or a checkbook.

Best. Food. Ever. Skogen is located in Custer is a smaller, quaint venue - best for smaller parties or couples. We love to get away to Skogen and see what Chef is putting on his menu!

Pizza. Every community needs a GREAT pizza place. Mangiamo's Pizza is located in Hill City and that is where we take our family! Everything on the menu is great. They do have pizza for the Gluten-free folks too. Tip: If the restaurant is packed, order to go at the bar!

Custer needed a breakfast place and this couple answered the call. Opened in 2021, this breakfast place does not fall short on the details. Tip: Be sure to make a reservation on their website! You will thank us :)

Hands down - a favorite place for kids and ice cream. There is a playground, fire pits, putt-putt-golf, outdoor music, and more! Sit for a glass of wine, gelato, or a cup of coffee!

Things to Do

Looking for something to do inside? We love going to a play here! We have never been disappointed. Tip: Like many places in the Hills, cell phone service is very spotty here. You will also need a park pass which is sold in concessions.
