Our family absolutely loves this place! Their ice cream has a great flavor and texture, and they offer so many options for sundaes and shakes. The service is fantastic too! If you arrive and see a long line, dont be deterred! The line moves quickly and the resulting deliciousness is well worth waiting a couple minutes! Definitely one of Rapid Citys best places to stop.

This might be an unpopular opinion. But I am a die heart sweet-eater. And ridiculously passionate about my dessert. This was does have wide variety of dessert but they bit too sweet. I know desserts re suppose to be ‘sweet’ but my chocolate brownie was sweet to the extent I couldn’t eat it after 4 spoons. And I have 32 sweet teeth so I have very high threshold for sweet. Personal advice- 1 one-size dessert can easily feed 3 adults. There is so much !

Delicious ice cream 🍦 We had the flavors of the day, black cherry 🍒 it was good. If you are in Rapid City then I would recommend checking out this local favorite.

Great service. I liked the variety of ice cream flavors!

Good ice cream, banana split and chocolate oreo shake. Brought 9 people and wait time on a Sat. afternoon was about 5-10 minutes. Recommend coming here!

Another great ice cream shop in Rapid City. A wide selection to choose from at a very reasonable price!

We were on the hunt for some good ice cream and was told to head to Armadillos. we ordered the dish consisting of Fry Bread topped with ice cream. Since were not from the area, we picked a dish that had a Fry Bread base (we had some great fry bread at another place and thought it would be delicious with ice cream) Although the ice cream was good, the fry bread was cold and stale. The place is cute and on a nice day, the patio fills up fast.

Delicious. Loved the ice cream. I wish we had one where we live!

I tried the Ranger Rick, a mint oreo sundae and my mom had the armadillo. Both were amazing, I added some gummy worms to mine, loved it. I always have to stop by and get my ice cream fix from Armadillos at least once if not twice while I visit. A must if you are ever in the area!

Long line but it moved quick. Brownie delight waffle cup. The mediums are big.

Ice cream was great...as usual! I had an oreo blizzard type of cup and it was delicious. Service was extremely polite by Bailie. If she doesnt make the most money she should! If you are ever in Rapid City do not pass up Armadillos. Always packed so dont be surprised by very long lines. Lines move very quick and its worth the wait!!!

Hit this place up for dessert after dinner and it did not dissapoint. Shakes were awesome and the staff was fantastic.

Place had ridiculously impressive ice cream. The line was long and it moved very quickly. This is a cool spot.

Just ignore the bad reviews they clearly dont have a clue this place is great cheaper than dairy queen for more ice cream. great selection. Fast service and friendly staff. I would highly recommend stopping here while you are on vacation.

As always Armadillos has once again brought us many flavors and good prices to the many items available on their menu. It is always a treat to head to Armadillos with family and friends each and every summer. I just wish we could convince them to stay open all year and not close up for the winter. Dairy Queen and Cold Stone just dont satisfy the mouthwatering cravings we have grown accustomed to from Armadillos. The staff as always are super friendly and it shows they enjoy their jobs.

Popular place for desserts. Only soft serve ice cream but made up into lots of imaginative Sundaes.

They never disappoint on the ice cream. Cant even compare this to McDonalds. The prices are great, great service.

More ice than ice cream flavorless vanilla soft-serve. If this is the best soft serve in Rapid City I feel sorry for the people who live here. Toppings were nothing to write home about just what youd expect to get anywhere. There were people lined up but I guess options here are somewhat Limited.

We got 2 Sundaes. I got the Tiger and my husband got the brownie delight. The brownies were very soft and gooey. Decently priced and good size portions.

One of the best ice cream shops Ive ever been to. They were very busy, but got all 5 of our orders done perfectly and quickly.

This is the spot to get ice cream my kids loved it I have to say almost to many options, friendly service and be careful might eat to much lol

Armadillos is a place that always seems to be busy. Most of the time, it seems there is a line. Their food is decent. Nothing fancy, but tastes fine. I really like their Indian taco, which was quite good with everything on it. The frybread was tasty. The real draw is obviously their ice cream. They have so many options, its hard to decide what to get. The Armadillo sundae is a good default choice, if you have trouble. Their staff is mostly young people, but very hard working and respectful.

So good! My children ordered dirt cup sundaes, I had the s’mores sundae and my husband ordered a peaches freeze. Everything was great. It was super busy but the employees keep everything loving so the wait wasn’t long.

Orders came out fast; friendly servers. Prices are good. Its not any cheaper than getting ice cream at DQ or something.

Great atmosphere and quick service. Simple soft serve with all the fixings you could want. They even have a toddler and baby-sized cup/cone!

Probably the best ice cream place Ive ever been to! They have a huge variety of flavors and they are way more creative than the majority of other ice cream parlors. I highly recommend Armadillos!

I just got back from Armadillos and was unimpressed. My malt was runny and it was just like eating half melted icecream and was like 6.00 bucks. I will not be going back anytime and dont suggest you fo either.

I love their ice cream! Portion size for the price is great! Always a family favorite!

Amazing ice cream. Good prices too. Must stop if in the area.

Lovely and quaint sweet treat spot for an out of towner. Very good selection and amazing ice cream!

I had the bubblegum sorbet. Only reason I didnt give 5 was the only non dairy items were a few Italian ices and slushes. But what I had was really good and if you are able to have dairy they had tons of flavor options!

Its ok soft-serve ice cream. Interesting toppings but combos didnt always work. Not great, not terrible, and its ice cream, so 4/5.

Multiple ice cream options and plenty of sandwich type food options available. Outdoor and indoor searing available. Food was quick and tasted great.

We love Armadillos! Our 6 year old is convinced that when hes old enough its where he will spend all his working years. We love eating there or bringing home half gallons.

Food was delicious!Ice-Cream was the big hitter. The best Ice cream place I have been too.

Known for their uniquely delicious sundaes and shakes, Armadillos is the best place to quench your ice cream cravings in Rapid City. Their unique flavour of the day is also a favorite amongst locals! Delicious food too!

Their ice cream was well welcomed on a hot summer day.Staff recommendation was as good as the ice cream!

Line was long, but moved quickly. So many Wonderful choices to pick from.

Great ice cream. My favorite is the banana shake. And its huge! Outside seating and some inside. My kids love getting a cone upside-down in a cup, they say it tastes better that way🤷🏼‍♀️

Just remodeled in 2017, beautiful inside AND out! Crazy awesome varieties of flavors, made here! Nothing they cant do that I havent liked. Even their mistakes are great. I had the twist with melted PB, Spanish peanuts and hot fudge. Thinking twist was 1/2 van/choc. ... I got half van/strawb and it was very pleasantly wonderful! One of the best things in Rapid to explore with your tongue. ...

A good place to cool off on a hot day with a big variety on the menu & reasonable prices

I love going here. The amount of options available is just amazing. Though on those warm summer nights the lines can get a bit long, but that just tells you how good it is.

Always great service and incredible desserts! The fresh peach 🍑 options when available are amazing!

What a fantastic ice cream parlor with an outside patio. Old fashioned walk up window. Not far from KOA Rapid city

Cute ice cream shop with a massive patio for people to hangout & its downtown. The menu is wonderful, big recommend for everyone.

If youre an ice cream aficionado, DO take the time to stop here. The lines are long for a reason. Its that good. I suggest the banana split shake, and Erics parfait.

Best ice cream stop in Rapid City. They also offer seasonal lunch/dinner options such as soup in the autumn. I myself have found myself in line outside in the snow for their ice cream.The flavor of the day is always my favorite part. Be sure to ask for a sample even if youre there for another menu option! Its a great way to try something new.The only disappointment here is they do close for the winter. I guarantee you every year, that first day of Armadillos opening again, is totally worth it no matter the weather.Their new building is beautiful and spacious and a huge improvement compared to their old building. Great job on these guys!

Best Ice Cream in town! Great alternative to grabbing a mid morning coffee.

Good ice cream but they dont have a lot of options for flavors

One of the best and must try ice cream parlor in rapid city. They are closed in the winter season. Opens the rest of the season. So much choices from ice cream to smoothies... they also have snacks like sandwiches ...

Wow. What a delight. The peach cobbler shake has made me a believer in desserts.

The main ice cream spot for most people I know in Rapid City. Tons of choices from berry flavored ice cream and hot sundaes. You can pick up a small serving on the way to wherever, or bring home a gallon to put in the freezer.

Armadillo ice cream is the best in rapid city no doubt about it. the food is pretty good too there is a wait when they are busy. the staff is friendly too the portions are big all of the pictures below are mediums.

Amazing choices at great price !!

Great Selection. Relaxing and clean. Could use some pictures on the menus though.

Love their amazing list of options and it is so yummy!!!! Way better than Coldstone creamery!!

The food was pretty good and ice cream too

Had good food and fast service. Ordered some ice cream and it was ready before I could even get to my seat

Huge Ice creams. They tasted good. Nothing spectacular.

Hot fudge malt ... Mmmmmmmm.

Always awesome!! Service wonderful. Thanks for doing what you do.

Very busy, but I understand why. Amazing ice cream and reasonably priced too!

Worst ice cream for the money. Flavored frozen milk. If you want to pay for good ice cream, cold stone creamery. Also homeless seem to congregate there and beg for money.

It was affordable, quick and easy to order. I ordered a cinnamon, butterscotch, caramel malt and it was the best I have had in 23 years.

Best Ice-cream 🍦 you will every have the pleasure of eating 😋

Great spot with great pup cups. If you ever get more dairy free options I would appreciate it!

Be sure you can eat a medium or large before ordering......you really get a lot. The ice cream was amazing and the staff very friendly. Now I understand why everyone is willing to wait in line at this place. Wow!!

So busy on a hot July day! Quite refreshing

Was told this is a town staple. Kids loved the ice cream.

Love this place, the Rolly Polly is delicious!

Best selection and best ice cream in town

I must say I was not the least bit impressed. The ice cream was just ok but not that cheap. And they made me pull out my ID for a less than 10 dollar charge....WTF is that about.

Amazing frozen yogurt love the outside and indoor seating

Popular ice cream spot, milk shake was good

Love there ice cream!

This place was hopping for a Monday night, and I could taste why! Highly recommended, try the peach cobbler sundae. The fresh peaches and pecans took me back down south for the night.

Lots of good stuff here...

Ginormous sundaes! Good quality soft serve ice cream and so many toppings.

It took over 10-20 minutes just to get one ice cream.

Armadillos is the best ice cream shop in Rapid City! We always make this one of our stops.

Best ice cream in town. Love the outdoor seating. Super friendly service.

Armadillos has excellent ice cream. They are closed for the winter, open again in the spring. lots of outdoor seating. A great place to take your family. A local hot spot.

Very good would go again

One of my favorite spots for an ice cream date with my wife

Stopping in town on the way to Badlands NP and stumbled across this place. Great ice cream/soda shoppe feel!

Great ice, and there food is good. Kind service too.

Very clean, very customer oriented. And the Ice cream was great!

Just overpriced soft serve ice cream. Bums also bugging you for money.

Ive eaten ice cream in 26 different US states; yet to find a place that beats Armadillos. One of the few things I miss about Rapid City.

Yummy this place is good yum I like it alot good customer service awesome job God Loves You All God Bless

Its ok, I might expect free WiFi for the high prices though.

Some of the best I’ve cream in town

Great ice cream! Servers were polite people were friendly. Recommend to stop by and check out

Awesome best ice cream ive had in a long time

Great sundaes! Ice cream is thick and creamy.

Absolutely amazing best ice cream Ive ever tasted

A bit of a line, but quick service and great icecream

Very good treats but alittle over priced for ice cream.

There was a lot of people, yet we got our 6 ice creams in 3 minutes. The service was amazing and the employees were super nice and accommodating to all our needs. The ice cream was very yummy and you can customize your ice cream to make it how you want. There are many flavors to pick from! I loved my ice cream and they have many food choices too.

Great sundaes--very creative variety, plus you can add stuff or make up your own
