Although they were busy and seemed a bit short staffed, we got good service. Our waiter apologized to us several times for not seeing us when we came in. He was quite a nice young man. He took our order and had our food to the table quickly. We had smoked wings and fried cheese curds. Yummy! Would certainly return should I find myself in the area again! read more

Five stars allllll around! Had a nice Friday night dinner at Squealers. It was our first time here and won't be our last. The place is forsure more casual than we knew but still good. We sat ourselves and had to wait awhile for a server to notice us. Once we got our server, it was great from then on. I love love loveeee that they have a gluten free menu! Them going out of their way and frying my fries in a safe fryer was awesome. The sandwiches and bread was unreal. We all loved our food and we will be coming back there again and again! read more

Made stop as usually like eating here, NOT TODAY! I sat at bar and not once got asked anything about eating or drink or noticed!! Gal at bar worried more about her friends there going to movie and not once even standing in front me did she say a word to me. As I got up I said I guess I'll go where someone wants to help me!! read more

Very solid atmosphere! Came in on a volleyball night with my husband and got some drinks and cheese curds. The ladies working are phenomenal and kind! Stellar place for some drinks and apps. Hoping to try some more of their menu over the summer read more

We opted for 6 boned-in chicken wings, a stockyard sandwich (pulled pork and chopped brisket) with home seasoned fries, an extra side of onion rings, and refillable iced tea and diet coke. There were three sauces on the table, all distinctive and all worth a try. All 3 turned rather ordinary onion rings and fries into something truly tasty. The brisket, perfectly smoked with great flavor, needed no help, but the sauces brought life to both the pork and the chicken, the latter a bit underdone for our taste. The bill came to $36.80 plus tip. We would drive here for the brisket, but the rest struck us as what you might enjoy if you were just driving by and really hungry. For the record, this was our 403rd 'cue stop in a 35 state jaunt. read more

The first person to attend to us although prompt with the drinks, failed to provide straws. The next guy came back and provided straws almost 5 minutes before the first server returned to ask our desires for food. She seemed almost disinterested in any form of good quality service. The second guy came back and checked on us again. Not his table but good on him for checking. Food was not as described nor as explained by the first server but she didn't even take time to check back. General opinion. Too busy. Too disinterested and too bothered to care. read more

Great environment and great food! I got the bone in wings with a dry Cajun rub. Good stuff. An environment that makes you feel welcome regardless where you are from. read more

Came here on a Thursday night and it was pretty busy! Ample parking however so that was easy. Service was quick and friendly. Ordered the combo platter which had their smoked St. Louis ribs (great, I've been told they run out of ribs here some nights), a brisket sandwich (I got just the brisket which was just okay), and the pulled pork sandwich (also good). Also comes with side of choice (I chose fries). Also tried the Mac n cheese with brisket which was tasty! And also for dessert had the peanut butter cream pie. Prices are also decent here. read more

We stopped in Friday night it was not busy. We were seated promptly because they only had 28 customers. The playoff game between the Nicks and Pacers was about to start so I asked them to change the channel on the television I was facing. I was told that they were not smart enough to operate a television and I could watch whatever was on. We ordered Wisconsin Cheese Curds and after receiving cheese balls that were oozing cheese as if they were overcooked. I tried to return them and they brought them back and told me that they were mozzarella cheese balls, not cheddar. Tried to explain to me that they were from Wisconsin, and that is how they know they are cooked. If I'm getting mozzarella balls I would have preferred to dip them in marinara as opposed to whatever was in the paper cup. I'm guessing it was ranch sauce. I didn't want to risk explosive diarrhea so I just stuck a mozzarella ball in it so the next customer would have to pick it out. We ordered a Trump sandwich and fries. This is a pulled pork sandwich with nacho cheese not a complicated sandwich. They must have unplugged the crockpot they prepared the pork in because it was served cooler than room temperature. The fries were served at the same temperature as the pork. The positive side of this restaurant is that they are cheep. I am adding a photograph of my bill so you can see how inexpensive it is and they can see exactly where I sat and teach the server how to push the channel up button on the remote. read more

Squealers Smoke Shack - Receipt for the food I sampled. We ended up eating at Shenanigans and it was a much better experience. - American Near Me - Tea, South Dakota

Found myself in the fine city of Tea for 3 days with a broken down truck. I had the luck of stumbling upon this place by chance and spent all 3 nights here for dinner and it has been absolutely spectacular. The wings are some of the best I've ever had and the pulled pork second to none. Such a gem, this restaurant I've found myself in, and I will continue to make recommendations to visit if you're in the area. Kind staff, great tap list, and very cool indoor/outdoor setup. Highly highly recommend. read more

Squealers Smoke Shack - BBQ sauce options and a tall boy pint - American Near Me - Tea, South Dakota

Our first meal out on the town as we moved to SD. The outside looked modern for a small town but appeals. The parking lot was full so we were nervous the wait would have taken forever. We walked in and offered dining or bar side. Neither had a wait. The place was packed but not crowded. The noise levels were a little higher. They had televisions with shows on with all genres. I ordered the chislic basket. Being new I wanted to try. Wife got a pulled pork salad. I was disappointed on the side offers for my meal and the size was very small for the price. The flavor was there and I enjoyed it. But the size was small. Wife salad was amazingly good. We will def go back and try other menu items. The service was very good and that is what made our experience move well. read more

Squealers Smoke Shack - American Near Me - Tea, South Dakota

Midwest style BBQ place with good sauce and flavor. The one thing I'd highly recommend is the smoked prime rib which they only serve on Saturday's. Starts at 4pm and typically sells out in a few hours. The pulled pork and choked brisket were a little dry and I'd guess reheated. Had to use a lot of sauce to balance out the dryness in the meat. Good News is the sauce is a very nice balance sweet, tangy, and spicy. Give it around 3 stars for that. Ribs were cooked well but didn't have a lot of smoke or rub flavor. Seemed like they spent may more time in the oven than in the smoker. Again, needed sauce to get any balance. Another 3 star dish on this night. I have to say, DO come for the smoked prime rib. The taste, tenderness, perfect balance of rub and smoke were excellent!!! Definite 5 star dish and something worth coming back for over and over. Great service and friendly people. read more

Meals were good. The service was very good. However, we were charged for a small container of ranch, a very small container of salsa for the chips and the burrito, and even olives in our beers. Never have ever seen this before. Exactly 4 small olives per beer. read more

We were looking for a restaurant close to the interstate with good food and found Squealers. The owner took care of us herself. She was fun and accommodated our dogs.

This is our first time here. It was very good. I had the combo which is four Pork ribs, a Pork slider, and a brisket slider as well as a side which was Grandma's Mac &cheese. We also ordered the Pulled Pork wrap which my wife enjoyed. Of course, we had to order Coke Slaw and Baked beans. Well, I have to say that this was a great trip here to Tea from Sioux Falls. It was all worth it. The ribs were delicious and smoky and tender. Very good flavor. The Pulled Pork Wrap was very delicious. The sides were also excellent. The MAC & Cheese had a wonderful flavor as did the baked beans with the small piece of Pork in the beans. Coke slaw was very fresh and had a whole new taste. Thanks to Aaron our waiter who did a great job. He was very friendly and professional. And the nicest touch was that we got to meet the Smoke master who pleasantly told us about the way she smoked the meats on her farm. It's always nice to meet such a nice lady. They do a lot of catering big and small. We will be back. Next time it'll be the full rack of ribs or the Saturday night special of smoke Prime Rib with a baked potato and a side for $18.99. read more

Food was phenomenal. Great food truck food in a sit down atmosphere. It's a small space but works good. A lot of people using the take out orders. There are plenty of tv's to watch the game on and bottled beer to enjoy. No full bar or tap beer but that's ok because I am here for the food. Priced right. I had the pulled pork sandwich with Mac and cheese. My wife had the half rack and Cole slaw. I will be back in the near future. read more

I've eaten here several times and always love the place. However, tonight I decided to try the bourbon flight they have advertised, and turns out it's a lie. Menu says any four bourbon shots for $20. When I went to order it the waitress hands me a piece of paper and they have the bourbons separated in to two categories and she told me I can only order two from each category. That's not what the menu says. I've always been excited about this place but now have no desire to return simply on the lie they advertise. I ended up not ordering any bourbon and left the minimum 15% tip out of spite. Don't advertise something you have no intentions of honoring. read more

The food was fantastic. I got a combination platter. The ribs were super good. The other sandwiches were good too. I will be coming back sometime soon. read more

We loved this place! On walking in the place was clean and inviting. We were starving after being on the road. Roxie (server/part owner) was happy to tell us about all the options and customer favorites. We had a hard time deciding and she told us how to mix it up so we could get what we wanted. I had wings with mac&cheese. The wings were the best I ever had..I got half teriyaki and half signature sauce. Marty had the brisket sandwich and he loved it. Roxie kept our glasses full and set us up to go. We also met one of the other owners. This is a place owned by locals-father mother, son, daughter, friend..I sure hope the locals are giving this place the business it deserves! Prices are reasonable, the place is spotless, and the service is impeccable. read more

If I could give more than 5 stars I would!!!!! Had the brisket wrap with Mac.... I'm somewhere in heaven!!! This Vegas girl never thought a smoke house in the middle of nowhere corn fields would serve so much flavor!!! If I'm back in the area I will definitely stop back! And keep in mind it was just the amazing food that has me wanting to revisit, but the customer service... wonderful and fun staff, easily made me feel at home! read more

The number one rule.for bar-b-que is, you've got to have wood. Now, it's debated which kind of wood is best for different meats. But in the end, you have to have wood. I didn't see any wood, I didn't smell or taste any wood. I am left to believe that there wasn't any wood being used. Now, there may have been a chip or two. But, that's still not BBQ. There was no smoke ring present on the food. Now some folks may like their BBQ cooked over propane or electric. I will let them be the ones to rave about whether this place had good BBQ. For me, it was not good at all. Bit, the Mac and cheese was good as well as the service. read more
