Laughing Water Restaurant

Great views and awesome food. Came in for the Native Taco but opted for the Tatonka stew. Very good. Meat was very tender. Not my grandmother’s stew. This was much better.

We had the tatanka stew or in English buffalo stew. The stew was delicious as well as the 4 triangle shaped pieces of bread. We had a nice view of crazy horse from our table as well

Great workers who are completely overwhelmed and understaffed. I sincerely feel bad for the workers here, as they're doing everything they can to keep this place afloat with minimal help. Hire people, asap.

Subpar food. I had better food in the Army. Over priced for a taco. Our waitress was pleasant. Kids chicken fingers was chicken fries. Buffet closed. Would recommend not eating there at all.

There was a big party that came in so they said they couldn’t sit anyone for 45 mins to an hour. Saw lots of empty tables. Disappointing we saw great reviews. There was just 2 of us lots of empty tables!!!

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.

Waited over 40 minutes for food wanted something to drink. The waitress said if she could get to it. My sister literally had to get up and walk to the cashier to get a refill for my niece and nephew. Not somewhere I will go again

Would have been lovely to eat here but they are closing 40 minutes before their close time. We drove out of the way and paid money to come into this particular restaurant tonight and we're been turned away. Very disappointed. The snack shop worker stated they never close this early... extremely disappointed.

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.

Parking: Plentiful parking.
