You never know what you might find in a North Dakota small town. In terms of local eats, usually, there is a bar and grill with your typical menu - beer, burgers, and fried appetizers. Occasionally, perhaps, a hot dish or pasta special. All good, but nothing extraordinary. Enter The Dog House - a rustic restaurant in a tiny town a good way north of Dickinson. Not only is it quirky-looking on the outside, but the menu will exceed your expectations by far.
Manning, North Dakota is a little town out in Dunn County with a population of around 75. Like many other small towns of its size, it has a local bar and restaurant - but this one stands out from the rest.
The Dog House Bar is hard to miss. It'll easily catch your eye with its rustic appearance and large sign. Plus, it's located right alongside the highway that runs through town.
This spot is worth visiting for more than just typical bar and grill foods - they have a menu that would rival big-city restaurants, and the food is delicious to boot.
They have a variety of burgers and sandwiches along with wings and appetizers, if you do want the favorites you know and love.
The Dog House serves up their meals hot and fresh, and they are exceptionally tasty.
One of the highlights of the menu is their steak and seafood options. Herb-crusted salmon, ribeye steak, shrimp scampi - it's all fantastic despite being in the middle of the prairie. They serve snow crab legs on Sundays, too.
Whether you go for drinks and a sandwich, a special night out with surf and turf, or just for fun - and maybe dessert, too - The Dog House Bar is worth the extra miles to visit, no question.

Many people might not expect to find good seafood in the most landlocked spot in the North American continent (true fact, the geographical center of the continent is located in ND), but restaurants like this one exceed those expectations. There is also a fresh seafood market and restaurant in North Dakota you'll want to check out.
