We arrived in Hill City just as Bike Week was ending, which may have had something to do with our experience, but there were still plenty of tourists in the area, ourselves included. We drove around early in the day Sunday and looked at places to eat, and decided from the road that the diner was our #1 choice for... more

Decor was great! I didn't read previous reviews prior to going but we had a pleasant experience. Patty Melt and Hot roast beef were excellent. Restaurant was packed full at 6PM on a Tuesday night. more

We loved everything about this place. The food was very good. Our 12 year old had pizza, the 10 year old had a kiddie burger. My husband and I split the caesar salad. The service was friendly and food arrived within a reasonable time. Outdoor dining was available, although we loved the indoor 50's decor. more

We come to Hill City a lot. The other cafes were busy so we thought we would try this. Were out of what we came for. What we did order was very expensive. Spent more for three lunches than we did a the steakhouse for dinner. At least we gave them a chance. more

The milkshakes are $4.99 for a small cup, like a small size cup from a fast food restaurant. The food was just... more

We were on a trip through Hill City, SD on a Sunday in July when our hotel suggested the "Route 16 Diner" for a family dinner. We had been driving all day to see Mt. Rushmore and were ready for a good meal. Unfortunately, that's not what we got here. At 5:30pm they had already run out of pizzas. That... more

If you are looking for a home cooked meal keep driving. There is no cooking at all here, just thawing. We ordered four different items and we all received warmed-up pre-processed meals. The generic no-name ketchup was so awful that it ruined the french fries of one in our party. This place was the biggest disappointment in an otherwise terrific... more
