The 7 Best BBQ Sandwiches In South Dakota And Where To Find Them

South Dakota may be famous for its authentic German pastries, Frybread, and hot beef sandwiches, but not even we can say no to a delicious BBQ sandwich! While places like Memphis, Kansas City, and Texas may be more well known for their tangy BBQ, we happen to have a few great places of our own, including these seven South Dakota restaurants that serve the most mouthwatering sandwiches:

Since the 1970s, the guys who brought you Cody's have been perfecting their BBQ recipe and winning tons of awards along the way (not just nationally, but globally as well!). While you really cannot go wrong with anything at this Sioux Falls gem, we highly recommend their killer burnt ends sandwich with fries.
