If you’re going to be in Medora, ND for the Medora Musical, I recommend eating supper before the musical at the Pitchfork Steak Fondue.

What? You’ve never heard of a pitchfork fondue?

The Medora Pitchfork Fondue consists of steaks being put on the tines of pitchforks (nice, clean ones, of course), and cooked in hot oil.  And somehow those steaks are seasoned perfectly so that they come out just right.  Delicious!

Steak’s not the only part of the meal, though; they have all the trimmings as well–baked potatoes, baked beans, salad items, garlic toast,  lemonade, and brownies for dessert.  Kids can get a hot dog meal instead of a steak.  Prices range from $6 for a hot dog meal to $25.50 for a ribeye.  With tax included and no gratuity, that’s not a bad price for the amount of food you get.

The Pitchfork Steak Fondue shares a parking area with the Medora Musical, so you can head up the hill and stay for the evening.  If you’re planning to go on the Behind the Scenes tour, I’d recommend getting there at the beginning of the fondue; if not, you can wait until later in the serving time.  If there’s a long line when you arrive, don’t fret–they can serve an amazing number of people in a short amount of time, and there’s plenty of seating available.

The Pitchfork Steak Fondue overlooks the Badlands for a unique outdoor dining experience.  It’s a fun–and tasty– part of the Medora experience.

Note:  My family received complimentary meals at the Pitchfork Fondue.  This does not affect my review.
