This Tiny Restaurant In South Dakota Always Has A Line Out The Door, And There’s A Reason Why

Would you like to know our tried and true rule of thumb for finding the most delicious restaurant every time? Look for a line! That’s right: While it may be annoying at the time, any place that has a line is a surefire sign that the food is going to be downright delicious, as it is at this tiny South Dakota restaurant with some of the best food we have ever tasted:

Tucked away in Pierre, Big Tom's is a can't-miss anytime you visit the capital city, as it specializes in all your homemade favorites.

If it's comfort food you crave, you will find it at Big Tom's Diner, beginning with giant tasty sandwiches, a la the BLT, classic Club, and Loaded Grilled Cheese.

For food as good as grandma used to make, try one of their baskets with chicken strips, shrimp, fish and chips, or a grilled chicken sandwich.

What's a diner without classic burgers, fries, and other sides? Big Tom has those, too!

While all of the above is reason enough to visit, the star of the show may just be Big Tom's take on BBQ, via such favorites as BBQ ribs, pulled pork or beef brisket sandwiches, and other smoked goodness.

Can you see why the line is always out the door?
