About 701 BBQ
Smoked On-Site
Available for Event Catering
Located in Grand Forks, ND
Our food truck is more than just a place to grab lunch. We offer top-notch BBQ dishes that are slow-smoked with pride right on the back porch. We specialize in beef brisket, pulled pork, and smoked turkey breast but we are always adding something new. When we set up for a public event we never know how much traffic to expect. We do our best to smoke the right amount of meat but when it’s gone….it’s gone. Our popular items tend to sell out fast!
If you know good BBQ come early!
We make our own BBQ sauce from scratch.
We are a proud distributor of STOAKED BBQ Pellets. Made from the highest-quality white oak. We sell 20 pound bags. Buy 2 and save!

Andy and Jill Elsberry (husband and wife owners). Both born and raised 701‘s, we want to share our love of BBQ with you. Our sandwiches are named after North Dakota cities that we have a personal connection with. Both of us have extensive food and restaurant experience, as well as being business owners. Andy’s family owns and operates Speedway 805, a popular Grand Forks, ND restaurant that's been in business for over 35 years! The original chain of Speedway locations was founded by his Late grandfather. Andy grew up working his way around the family restaurant, and so did our oldest son.
For now, this is a part-time gig until Andy is eligible to retire in a few years. With your continued support we hope to expand and grow our business!
