Carvers Café

About Carvers Café

Not everyone has an opportunity to dine with a president, but at Mount Rushmore, people do it every day. The newly renovated Carvers Café, with seating for 300, offers visitors a delicious array of food selections, served with a commanding view of the presidential sculptures.

Carvers Café is the only Certified Three Star Green Restaurant in South Dakota. They pride themselves on serving healthy, local, and sustainable cuisine. In recent years, they've implemented several successful sustainability programs. They grow their own vegetables in a Keystone, S.D. garden, and they also purchase ingredients from local and sustainable sources. They have dramatically reduced their energy needs by changing to LED lighting, installing low-flow water faucets and implementing recycling and composting programs.

Winter hours of operation are 8:00am - 4:40pm, daily.
