Top 5 Barbecue in Minnesota

5262 Kyler Ave STE 111, Albertville, MN 55301, United States

“Service was friendly & prompt with a terrific atmosphere. It was hard to pick what to order since they have multiple items that I can't wait to try! Ended up settling on bananas foster crepes during the brunch service with a side of cheesy hash browns. All I have to say is that there was not a morsel left on my plate because of how deliciously perfect everything tasted. Artisan made fresh food with perfect portions for a reasonable price. I will definitely be back again for brunch & dinner service.”

“Fun place to be with a bunch of events seemingly every day. Wednesday is trivia, so get in on that! Food was great, definitely no complaints. The Poutine was wild, the burgers are great, and even the mocktails are worth a shot. Do note it can get a little busy so service may take longer, but the TV's playing random movies may help keep you occupied.”

“I attempted to make reservations for a celebration dinner on the website but the link would not work. I called the phone number listed and was given an automated voice that said they would send me a link to make my reservations and it hung up on me. I never got a message. I called and finally got a hold of someone and was informed you can only make reservations for parties or 5 or more people? It is over an hour drive to this restaurant, yet I am are unable to make a reservation to secure a table? I hope one day to be able to visit as I have heard good things about this place, however the customer service needs to be worked on.”

“This was my first time here and I’m glad I found this place. Me and a couple buddies stopped in here for dinner and we all raved about the BBQ. Me and a buddy got the brisket and my other buddy got a half rack of ribs. The brisket was probably the best brisket I’ve ever had! The place was very full but it didn’t stop them from providing us great service. Our waiter was great. I already have plans to go back!”

“Absolutely loved this place! The staff greet and happily direct you to desired tables. The service is prompt and continuous. We had the Wagyu burgers. Absolutely best smash burger in Minnesota! No lie!”

18071 MN-371, Brainerd, MN 56401, United States

“Food was pretty good. It was hot, fresh, flavorful. The service was fast and better than most in the industry I have had. Best thing this place needs is more high tables and TV's. Love how this place was for a first visit. I would recommend this place if you haven't been.”

“The servers run their butt off around here. They are friendly, hard working. Too bad the food wasn't as great as the service. I got the Cowboy burger, and the egg was over cooked, the bacon broke when I touched it. I asked for my burger to be medium rare. But I had a few bites of raw burger. My daughter had the Daisy Duke, and she said her sandwich was good.”

“This was an ok experience. Service was the bright spot. The food was pretty average, I expected more but despite the server's recommendation it was fairly bland. Environment was a real turn off - it was excessively loud and high top seating uncomfortable. Again, ok but not stellar.”

520 N 4th St, Minneapolis, MN 55401, United States

“This place is great for meeting up with a large group of friends or date night. There’s a lot of space to eat, relaxing lounge spaces, and enough bar stools to keep your drinks full. The variety of food options are wonderful. There’s something for everyone. On certain nights that have live DJ’s that spin indoors or out and getting a drink here before a Twins game is a lot of fun. I will say, the price points are a little higher than normal bars.”

“This is our favorite pizza. There was one little mix-up on our pickup order and the owner literally delivered the corrected order to our house. Serious integrity and delicious pizza. Thank you!!”

20851 Holyoke Ave, Lakeville, MN 55044, United States

“I got the biscuits and gravy and my wife got the chorizo bowl. They where both awesome. The cheesey hash browns were some of the best if had. The brunch runs 8am to 2pm as far as I can tell. Sarah was was awesome behind the bar!”

227 SE Oak St, Minneapolis, MN 55414, United States

“I came in on a weekday afternoon while my car was getting a repair. It was a nice place to stop for drink and the chicken tenders were surprisingly tasty. The atmosphere was a little disappointing--- the shelves on the back wall were a mess. But it is a campus bar/restaurant and for a younger crowd (I'm 41) its probably actually a pretty great hangout. Looks like they had a nice area in the back for billiards and such.”

“Ordered Togo Excellent service and the best burger”

3945 2nd St S, St Cloud, MN 56301, United States

“We got loaded waffle fries as an appetizer - they were room temp coming out. The Bison burger was good, as was my kids chicken Alfredo, million dollar burger, and turkey club. My daughter asked for her turkey club on plain bread, not whole grain - it came on whole grain. However, overall the food was good.”

12901 Main St, Rogers, MN 55374, United States

“Great food, friendly staff, plenty of seating. I tried the Crow River Mule which had hints of blueberry and was refreshing. The pretzel app is HUGE, and comes with three different dips. I wasn't big on the honey mustard, but both cheese dips were great. I ordered the stroganoff which was okay, but not my favorite. I also tried a size of their white cheddar grits with chorizo. These were phenomenal! I would go back just for these grits alone. Definitely recommend this as a great lunch, and/or cocktails spot.”

“Had to bus my own table. They messed up our order. Forgot salad. It took over 10 min for someone to come to the table and clean it. The pizza was fantastic. Service almost was none existing. We had to get our own refills, and I watched for 10 min my beer sitting at the bar getting warm. I understand it was busy, but I do better. Hire a bus boy during busy times. We saw 8 tables not bussed.”

“Burgers!!!”

130 Central Ave S, Milaca, MN 56353, United States

“Better than average burgers at a lower than average price. A little overcooked, but the flavor was fantastic. Staff was great. It's just a bar and grill, nothing fancy as far as atmosphere goes. I would absolutely stop by here again on my way through town.”

Bauhaus Brewlabs, 1315 Tyler St NE, Minneapolis, MN 55413, United States

“Great location next to Bahaus Brew Labs with plenty of shaded/covered seating and free parking. Specialty menu items appear to change regularly. We ordered a spread at the window and they call your name when the orders done, easy. Ribs were great, Chicken Caesar Sando was terrific, while the tortillas on the Pulled Pork Tacos was underwhelming. Great setup - check it out.”

205 Water St, Excelsior, MN 55331, United States

“We enjoyed our time here, love that they have some outdoor seating space. The place is huge so theres usually always openings on weekend for last minute reservations which is great! Definitely worth trying if you haven't been.”
