Get A Taste Of Traditional BBQ In Small Town North Dakota At BackDraft Cafe And BBQ

When you think of BBQ, where does your mind go? Memphis, Tennessee, perhaps, or Texas or any of the other southern states that are known for their briskets, ribs, and more. What about a small town in the prairie? Indeed, in a town of fewer than 550 residents, there is the wonderful BackDraft Cafe and BBQ in North Dakota. See what reviewers are raving about and you'll understand why it's worth visiting.

Welcome to BackDraft Cafe & BBQ, a small-town eatery serving up big eats.

BackDraft is firefighter-themed and has the best smoked meats you'll try on the prairie. Stop by the restaurant on Main Street in Berthold, North Dakota and be sure to come hungry, because you'll need to room.

The restaurant serves up a variety of BBQ meats, ranging from ribs to BBQ chicken. The sides include smoked mac and cheese, beans, and all the other BBQ favorites.

You have to try their specialty: the Brisket Burger. This sandwich includes a cheeseburger with slices of the restaurant's amazing brisket on top, in between two slices of Texas Toast. It's drool-worthy, to say the least!

The menu also includes other burgers, steaks, wings, and baskets.

If you consider yourself a carnivore, BackDraft is certainly the place to go for the best meat, whether it comes from the grill or the smoker.

Finish off your meal with one of the dessert options, such as a chocolate lava cake or bread pudding. Yum!

Can't make it out to Berthold but live somewhere in Ward County? You might spot the BackDraft food truck in places like Minot. Plus, they offer catering. Give them a try - you won't regret it!

Visit the BackDraft Cafe & BBQ website for more information. They often post the food truck locations on their Instagram so you can keep up with where to find them.
