You never know what you might find in a North Dakota small town. In terms of local eats, usually, there is a bar and grill with your typical menu – beer, burgers, and fried appetizers. Occasionally, perhaps, a hot dish or pasta special. All good, but nothing extraordinary. Enter The Dog House – a rustic restaurant in a tiny town a good way north of Dickinson. Not only is it quirky-looking on the outside, but the menu will exceed your expectations by far.
Manning, North Dakota is a little town out in Dunn County with a population of around 75. Like many other small towns of its size, it has a local bar and restaurant - but this one stands out from the rest.

One of the highlights of the menu is their steak and seafood options. Herb-crusted salmon, ribeye steak, shrimp scampi - it’s all fantastic despite being in the middle of the prairie. They serve snow crab legs on Sundays, too.
