Squealer's Smoke Shack Bar & Grill

· 840 Gateway Ln, Tea, SD 57064, USA

Squealer's Smoke Shack Bar & Grill is the kind of place where the smoke does the talking before you even open the door. This is barbecue the way it's supposed to be — low, slow, and unapologetic — just outside the Sioux Falls metro in Tea.

The menu leans hard into smoked meats, with the kitchen turning out ribs, brisket, pulled pork, and the kind of sides that exist to justify the main event. It's a bar and grill setup, meaning you can settle in, order a round, and make an evening of it rather than just grabbing and going.

Locals pick Squealer's when they're done pretending a fast-casual sandwich counts. The atmosphere delivers on the name — unpretentious, lived-in, and focused on the food. When the craving for real smoked barbecue hits, this is where the Sioux Falls crowd actually drives.
