Grandpa’s Southern BBQ in Idaho Falls, Idaho

Grandpa’s Southern BBQ in Idaho Falls was set up by Lloyd Westbrook, who himself is actually from Kentucky. This small restaurant is often billed as the best in the state by locals and as some of the best BBQs outside of the South by those traveling from out of town. The restaurant serves the usual staples, like ribs and chicken, along with traditional sides, like mac and cheese and smoky baked beans.

The baby back ribs smothered in a cherry BBQ sauce are said to be the best dish on the menu, but it's also one of the few places outside the South you'll find serving gumbo.
