Badlands BBQ started as a small roadside smokehouse founded in the early 1990s by a local pitmaster with a passion for slow-cooked meats and bold flavors. What began as a humble spot in a single town quickly grew, thanks to word-of-mouth and the irresistible aroma of hickory smoke drifting through the air. Locals lined up for hearty plates of ribs, brisket, and pulled pork, and over time, Badlands BBQ expanded into a beloved destination for comfort food with character.
As the years passed, the menu evolved—bringing in loaded sides, saucy sandwiches, and hearty combos—yet still keeping the fire-kissed authenticity that made it famous. What many don’t realize, though, is that Badlands BBQ also has a secret menu full of hidden gems, from off-menu sandwiches to special sauces. Still, the original signature smoked brisket remains the dish that loyal fans can’t stop coming back for.
