Laughing Water Restaurant
No reservations needed walk-ins are welcome
It all started with Korczak and Ruth Ziolkowski who often had guests over for dinner here at Crazy Horse Memorial®. Today you can dine in casual elegance at the Laughing Water Restaurant® where you will be treated to a spectacular view of the Mountain Carving while enjoying some of the area's best cuisine. Our team is dedicated and passionate, taking pride in everything that we do.
This passion ensures that you receive the best dining experience possible. Laughing Water Restaurant® has something for everyone with a variety of comfort foods. Seating is available for individual travelers, large groups, and every size party between. Our portions are generous, and coffee is always on us, a tradition at Crazy Horse Memorial® from the beginning.
Laughing Water Restaurant takes its name from an area creek with headwaters at the bottom of Crazy Horse Mountain. It runs south to the town of Custer where it joins French Creek. During the drought of the 1930s, Laughing Water Creek was one of the few in the area that did not dry up. People from miles around would bring their wagons and barrels to fill them with water.
Native American Taco
Home-made Indian fry bread topped with taco meat, refried beans, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, onions, salsa, and sour cream. Or, try our fry bread with wojapi (warm berry sauce), cinnamon, or honey as a dessert!
Tatanka Stew
Made from prime cuts of tender Black Hills buffalo, slow cooked with carrots, sweet peas, green onions, pearl onions, and potatoes. Simmered in our own blend of tasty seasonings and served with Indian fry bread.
"The food was great nice large portions. Our waitress was very friendly and waited on us as if we were the only ones in the restaurant, which we were not! Would recommend if going to Crazy Horse." – Debbie
