What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Customers rave about the creamy, smooth, and delicious ice cream with inventive flavors, often highlighting unique options like Lavender Honey and Sage. The fresh cones and friendly service contribute to a positive experience for many. However, some reviews mention issues with order accuracy, slow service during busy times, and a lack of clarity regarding vegetarian options.
"A local icecream parlor that looks so cute. The line was long when we went there. Offering multiple flavors. Staff were friendly despite amount of customers they were facing. We had cranberry sorbet and “6 mini cloud” which was mini scoops. You can definitely tell that’s homemade ice cream. Good flavors not bold but subtle."

"Staff is friendly, food is divine. Had the Badlands Burger with pepper jack cheese and jalapenos. The fried are perfectly crispy and delicious. The burger sent me straight to heaven with its delicious slightly sweet flavor and savory meat. 10/10 would try again."
Generally
"I visit family around once a year in Rapid City, and it’s a MUST that I go to Silver Lining every time we’re in town! I’m from Chicago and now live in Boston - needless to say I have tried a lot of ice cream. Silver Lining remains one of my all-time favorites.
They have a great selection of rotating flavors, but you need to try Lavender Honey or Sage if they’re available when you visit! If they don’t have those, I thoroughly enjoy both the cotton candy and their sorbets which they usually always have.
I’ve also only ever experienced kind and helpful service from the staff.
So if you’re in Rapid looking for an excellent sweet treat, I highly recommend Silver Lining as your go-to :)"
