When the meats are so good you travel from Germany just for the brisket and you bring it back with you. Honestly the best smoked meats!! The meatloaf, sausages, macaroni & cheese, and coleslaw are phenomenal as well. If you haven’t tried it yet, I highly recommend making a trip or having it delivered.
What an amazing place to eat. Absolutely great hospitality and the food was incredible. Juicy, thick, fall off the bone ribs. The beef brisket had such an incredible flavour and smoke to it. The mac and cheese was fresh and not overbearing. If you are in Minneapolis, show this place some love, I will visit every time I am in town. Did i mention free ice cream??
We stopped in and got some smoked wings, pork shoulder, brisket, Mac and cheese, coleslaw and cornbread. It’s nice to have a bbq place near home but I’d probably just do takeout next time. The food was fine. I liked the hot bbq sauce. I’ll probably pass on the cornbread next time since it’s prepackaged. Friendly staff and free ice cream for dessert.
Ordered online for delivery. Called to get sauces added and they were super nice and added 4 sauces with 3 different heats. Food came hot and on time!
I really enjoyed the ribs. Juicy, tender, and great flavor.
Beans were delicious and sweet while smoky. Loved that.
Potato salad was a miss for me, but I’m from the south and this potato salad was a little different than I’m used too. I was not a fan of the chunks of pickle. I think it would be better if it was creamier, no chunks of pickle, and bigger chunk of eggs. Potato salad preference is personal 😂😂
That being said, I would definitely eat here again!!
Food was very good! We ordered take out for our company lunch. The food arrived on time and was personally deliver from the restaurant. They provided many sauces which the mild and spicy were soooo good! The spicy had an interesting but delicious taste.
SO much food and it’s ALL so good! My personal standouts are the brisket and Mac and cheese. Huge side of Mac, and it’s so rich and flavorful. The brisket is tender and peppery. Good sauce options and free soft serve was the cherry on top!
Fabulous! Very good smoked meat. I have the pulled pork shoulder and it was tender and flavorful. Their potato salad was delicious also and nice and cold like potato salad should be. They even have free ice cream included with your meal. The food was so good we got extra to take home for dinner.
Got their Mac boat with chicken. The flavor was great but the temperature of meal was lukewarm at best. Good amount in serving and service was fast. Just disappointed in temp of product which was consumed without a “cool down” period.
