I just think this place is an eyesore in the beautiful surroundings of South Dakota. Maybe if this place was a bit downscaled it wouldn't stick out like a sore thumb, I feel sorry for the neighbors that have to live with this mini Vegas type structure in the Black Hills.

LOVE THIS PLACE! A fun stop in the Black Hills! :) First of all, we didn't eat in the diner. I'm sure it's your typical greasy burger with fries kind of place with iffy service. However, this is a fun spot to visit if you're a tourist or local. If you love old classic cars, you'll appreciate the many old classics sitting out front, including a 1948 Oldsmobile and other cars from the 1940s and 1950s. Next door is a convenience store with a number of flavors of hard-packed ice cream. The staff inside were very friendly. Next door to that is a store with classic car themed novelty items (stuff like clocks and bumper stickers and car mats and t-shirts ... you name it!) with a garage you can enter that has five or six old Studebaker vehicles. As if that wasn't enough, a beautiful cream 1967 Oldsmobile Cutlass sits in the center. *Gush!* Recap: I think they call this a "1950s retro complex." If you're nostalgic about the 1950s, want to get a burger, ice cream or chili cheese fries, or just want to walk around to look at the many classic cars, this is the place to visit.

A great 50's era diner & museum. Nice roadside diner with rock & roll memorabilia. Very good 1/2 lb. burgers, fresh cut fries & thick malts.

We stopped here for a beverage because the place looked so neat. We loved the place, and spent close to an hour looking at everything. Worth a stop!

I've gone to this place four times, 2007, 2008 (twice) and the summer of 2010. The first three times, I had the cheeseburger basket combo, and it was great. The fries were the long, super skinny kind, and were generous; the burger was big and juicy on a lightly toasted bun. The last time I went there was in June of 2010, and my friend had a shake, which looked good, but I just had a diet soda. As I was chatting with one of the cute teen-aged boys, he said the place was up for sale, and my heart sank. So who knows what the new owner will do if it does sell, OR if the quality will be as good. This place is a gas though. Local legend has it that the diner is AUTHENTIC as in the original owner found the diner abandoned outside some blink town on the east coast, and had it put on a flat and brought all the way back here. Also, the part of the diner where the grill and swivel stools are, is of the era where diners had had that Airstream trailer appearance with aluminum and chrome everywhere. I love sitting at the counter, and you can TELL this is the real thing, not a replica like "Arnold's" in Rapid City, because look around at how small the stools are and how low the counter is and how tiny everthing is. People were smaller then when this diner was built (1940's?). This is the kind of place you go to not for superior quality food but for nostalgia which it has in spades like some of the posters have noted. What the heck, order a soda and just people watch. If the food looks good coming off the grill, then order something, if not, just go for the sheer history of this great place. Around the actual diner are small shops, all devoted to 1950's nostalgia, carrying things like John Wayne nostalgia, Marilyn Monroe, ect. There are a few 1960-1970's era rides that are sometimes running, sometimes not. What Generation X'er doesn't remember the "Tilt-a-Whirl"? You can also put some gas in your car here during tourist season. Above one of these buildings is a cool terrace with some tacky but fun old furniture. I spent a lovely summer hour, the only person up there, just looking out over the highway, the forest, and watching the tourists come and go. I'll always go back here and tool around, even if the food's not the greatest because it's a little slice of time, like a 50's time capsule.

Great photo ops, especially if you're interested in a post-apocalyptic carnival theme. [There are some old carnival rides out back, which appear to be in service, but there was no one back there intending to ride them, or servicing them]. Food gave me indigestion, but I also ordered a chili cheese dog and "cheese balls," so I probably did that to myself. Service is generally nonexistent, but that's not really what you're there for.

Contrary to what others have experienced here, we had a good experience. We were just there for some ice cream, though. I had a chocolate malt and my fiance had a cherry shake. They were both fabulous! The service was fast and friendly. The atmosphere was pretty cool, too. They had antique cars on display. The restaurant was definitely 50's diner themed. There were also some little stores that we didn't go in. Out back, there were some rides (that nobody was riding when we were there). We saw a sign though, with the prices. Apparently, it's $3/ride or $16 for 2 hours or $24 for the whole day for one person to ride. These were just some small carnival rides, so perhaps the prices are a bit steep. That could be why nobody was riding them. All in all, though, this place was interesting and it was a good place to stop, walk around, and have a malt.

It may not be fair for me to post the review I *want* to post, considering that Boondocks had just opened for the season on the previous weekend. So, I give them a solid three stars, with which to begin building their reputation, one way or the other. When looking for Boondocks, keep an eye out for the Ferris Wheel, Merry-Go-Round and Tilt-A-Whirl. They're kinda hard to miss. When you arrive, be prepared to have the 50's Diner Nostalgia Theme shoved down your throat. From the vintage cars parked out front, to the Betty Boop everything and the vintage TVs playing Marx Brothers and I Love Lucy, every square inch of this place has been covered with that brand of Americana known only before the hippies came to town. The service was hit or miss. After the cowboy with torn jeans took our order, every blessed thing came to us peicemeal, including the plasticware (two plastic forks now, another later paired with the last plastic knife, oh, look there's another plastic knife)... Perhaps I'm just a cantankerous old fart when it comes to these things, but it seems to me that a table's order shouldn't be delivered until the whole order is ready to be served, not in waves. Like I said, we may have had the luck of waking the crew from their winter slumber. That said, take it upon yourself to form your own opinion of the place. I probably won't be back.

Horrible food and slow service! Avoid this place.
