America Homeland Revival Ribs — Restaurant in Ellendale

As you walk through the front door, don't be distracted by the menu above the cashier: what you're after is the "Hall of Flame!" It's the wall directly to your left where you'll find all the best barbecue options from around the country.

I had the Tennessee style baby back ribs with (and without) Kelly's secret barbecue sauce. They were just the right amount of chewy but still tender enough to pull away from the bone. Now while they were pretty tasty on their own with the perfect blend of smoky charred rib and juicy seasoning, his barbecue sauce is finger-licking good!

The dining area is rather small but you can easily see the owners take pride in their business. Even the bathroom is well-kept and practically fit for a luxury hotel.

There is one major problem with this place though: the dining table didn't have a roll of paper towels. After all, once you finish licking that delicious sauce off of your fingers, you can't just walk around with slobber all over your hands. Once this place adds some southern music tracks for the background music, you won't find a better barbecue in the upper midwest!

I can't wait to eat here when I visit Aberdeen again.

P.S. Don't forget to grab a toothpick on...

Called to get the menu and had the owner tell me he was busy. 40 minutes later I called back to see if I could get it sent before I drove to pick up take out and he gave an attitude. He sent a blurry picture of the menu through text but also said come in and grab a free sample. I decided to go and check it out. I asked for smoke sausage he said he had it but wouldn’t sell it to me. He then says I have to get the most expensive meal to get smoked sausage thrown in. I decide to get it and he tells me he doesn’t take card. As I’m typing in his cash app to pay him for a $50 rib meal and $10 (2 sides) I ask what ribs come with it and he replies “you ask too many damn questions” and proceeds to tell me maybe we shouldn’t do this and wouldn’t sell me the food. Worst service. Not...

I’ve been wanting to visit this place ever since I got into town. It’s a cash only business which I can deal with, however I travel for work and I’ve ate bbq all over the US and have never paid this much for so little food. Makes sense why the place is always so empty. This place is located in a small town I don’t assume the locals come here much either. There is a big construction project going on for the next few years next to this restaurant yet no one on site wants to come here for $50 to $60 for a small rack of ribs. The potato salad is lacking what you’d expect from a bbq joint as well. Overall for the price and atmosphere of this place I would not recommend going here. I’d go over to the NODAK CAGE ...
