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:
