Laughing Water Restaurant

I really enjoyed my experience here. The host was hilarious and was very kind. The server was quick and got us our food in a timely fashion as we needed to catch the tour bus. The food was super tasty. The views were awesome. The other staff were funny as well. I highly recommend you give them a try.

The waitress was really nice and always made sure we had what we needed. My bison burger and sweet potato fries were delicious and cooked perfectly. The restaurant was nicely decorated with good views of the Crazy Horse monument.

The stew was good, however, I sat down for 15 mins, no water no server, has to go to the host to ask to be serve a menu and a water. Had to wait another 20 mins for the check, oh don’t worry they also forget to bring me the kuchen (dessert) , and I had to ask for it. Comes in a box, looks like it’s made in the year of 1900s , saggy and mold. Wasted my time and my continue experience to the museum. November 2025

The restaurant kitchen closed at 7PM on a Wednesday, so we rushed from the parking lot to get seated in time! The restaurant has large windows to view the memorial carving and we got seated closest to that end. The menu was decently priced for being on-site and we loved the food! We ordered the Native American Taco & the Tatanka Stew (buffalo). They were both delicious!

First the view there was just breath taking. Sitting there waiting for lunch. The atmosphere there was so peaceful. The girls were so quick with the service. Being out of state we all wanted to try different things. We pretty much did. And it was all so good. The service. The food. The views. Prefect!
