Speed Queen Bar-B-Q in Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Wisconsin isn't known for its BBQ, but thankfully, it is home to Speed Queen Bar-B-Q, which has been serving the local community there for decades. Their ribs are covered with their signature sweet and slightly tangy BBQ sauce, but that's not the only thing they offer. You can find Southern-style catfish, cornbread, and collard greens. They also serve red beans and rice, making this place a must-try if you're craving not only BBQ but other Southern dishes, too.

Like many places on this list, the building itself isn't much to look at, but as soon as you taste the food, you'll be a believer. Former owner Betty Jean Gillespie passed away in 2000, but her family has since taken over the business.
