On a weekend morning, there is nothing quite as satisfying as a warm, sticky, and homemade caramel roll, which manages to become even more delicious when made by someone else. Agree? Instead of settling for generic store-bought rolls, we recommend making a pilgrimage to the down-home Colonial House restaurant in South Dakota:

Located in Rapid City, the Colonial House is a family-owned restaurant that has been delighting western South Dakota’s tastebuds since 1981.
