    Great food and pretty good beer.

    We chose to eat here because I always like a good brewery, and we had our dog with us. We assumed we'd have to eat on the patio, but they seated us inside, just off the patio entrance. I had the rattlesnake brat with fries and my wife the wedge salad, and we also had the house made chips. Our server was super helpful and attentive. I can't really say my brat tasted any different than a regular one, but it was delicious, as were my fries and the house chips. My wife wasn't completely thrilled with her salad, but I don't understand ordering a salad when in Custer. It just seems wrong. The beer selection was large, but as a hazy or imperial IPA guy, it wasn't quite my cup of tea. Both of the lagers I had were good though.

    One of the best places

    So accommodating for people with pets. it was a chilly day when we arrived at this place. Thinking that we would have to sit outside as most places have you do with pets, but no, this place allowed us to come inside to their warmth and their hospitality, and allowing our Missy to be with us as we enjoyed great food and great beer.

    Large Patio

    Food was good. Beer selection is decent. their own beers are okay nothing to really write about. the patio is large and partially covered. they will provide water bowl and give your pup treats!! they are super dog friendly and will spoil your dog. lol my dog started associating the server with treats bc each time she came by she dropped off treats for the pup.

    Visit after a hike with the pups

    We stopped here after hiking in Custer Park with our two pups. We sat on the deck. The staff brought us out a bowl of water for the pups and cold beers for us that we had along with ginormous nachos that were so filling and tasty. Great stop for pups, beer, and food!

    Cannot recommend

    we just went there and sat for 20 minutes with no server. went inside and asked if we were ever going to be waited on. Finally got a server, then waited another 15 minutes for our drinks, then again for our meals. Food wasn’t bad, but service was terrible!

    Best patio with pups

    both the front and back patios are dog friendly. our kind server brought us a handful of milkbones and ice water for our pups. The food and beer selections were both solid.

    Nice surprise

    Very dog friendly, large bowl of fresh water was given to my Siberian. Food was good, brew was good. T-shirts to buy are a good price and amusing. I would spot with or without my Sib. I had the Bison Buger, it was thin but had a good taste. Duck sliders were tastey too.

    Meh…. Skip this place for food

    Atmosphere was great, service odd, food horrible! The nachos were like little league concession stand food…

    Dog friendly on a nice patio!

    The outdoor seating area is very nice, they also allow dogs inside but only high top tables. We were seated and the dogs received a water bowl before the server took our drink order!! The food was delicious. Reason for 4 bones- We were there near closing time and the service was not the best. Good food and good beer, even better company(pups!) !

    Great Experience

    This place welcomed our large dog inside on a rainy day. They gave her a water bowl, treats and tons of attention. The owner stopped by the table and asked if our dog was well taken care of. What a wonderful place to hang out. Oh, the food and drink and service was top notch also. Thanks Mt. Rushmore Brewing Company.

    Pet friendly

    Great place to bring your dog. Started raining and all the covered spots were taken so they let us come I. Out of the rain. Big water bowl for Gemma. They are very accommodating.

    Great people!

    They had good service and food. When they saw we had a dog they immediately said let me get her water. The hostess and water were very attentive.

    Great place for fur kids!

    we had a great table on the patio with dog bowls for water. Service was excellent- enjoyed a flight to get some tastings in, we had the Buffalo burger and the elk burger both excellent. We even picked up some cool tshirts for our family back home!

    Amazing hospitality, beer and food.

    We were thrilled that our dog was allowed in the brewery. Staff was friendly and welcoming, and great service. Beer selection was excellent, pizza amazing. I highly recommended Mt. Rushmore Brewing Company for fun dining experience with your dog.

    Check it out!

    The food was good (beef and buffalo burgers delicious, fish and chips not good, very soggy), the beer was 3 out of 5, the Moscow mule was good. They were hosting a car show, a 10 year reunion and were short staffed. Our server was awesome, while being extremely busy. We would go again if in the area.
