Our food was wonderful. The staff were very nice and helpful. We will return soon. Yummo !
I had some awesome leftover brisket from this place and had to come see for myself. It was pretty busy so we had to wait 15 minutes to get seated which is a good sign. It's a pretty spacious place with lots of TVs. We ordered the ribs, baked beans and pork belly burnt ends. Overall really solid bbq because everything was on point.
The interior was rustic and roomy. There was a fire going on outside in a fire pit. That added to the overall cold, Minnesota country vibe. I loved the bbq ribs. There was a nice crunchy exterior when I bit into the juicy ribs that gave it interesting texture. The beef brisket was on the dry side. The exterior could use more crunch and maybe coat it in peppercorn. They offered 3 different kinds of BBQ sauce. I mixed the first and second one for a perfect balance of sweet, tangy and spicy. Service was excellent. The bread the meal came with looked plain but was soft, buttery and thick, which I loved. The coleslaw was overdressed in my opinion. The sweet potato fries were good. Overall, I loved the ambiance, service and it was decently good BBQ for the area.
Great beer, great bbq We got the candy bacon, queso and fries with more queso. It was a delicious. For dessert the chocolate lava like cake is a must have... with ice cream. Service was awesome, great suggestions. Definitely a must visit!
Love this place! Probably the best BBQ food I've ever had. Personally I gravitate towards their Tex-Mex offerings, with my favorite being their Meat and Mac burrito. The service is always friendly and efficient, although since they don't take reservations it can sometimes be a very long wait for a table. Their interior ambience is nice, feels a little bit like a Famous Dave's but better. I would highly recommend this place if you're looking for some small town vibes with excellent flavor!
Some of the best bbq in Minnesota hands down!! Atmosphere is great, Texas style bbq is spot on! Large portions and everything is fresh! Service is always great!! When you pull into the parking lot the smell will make you drool! A must stop and eat place!
Nice BBQ joint with great food. A bit far if you're not local to Hanover, but worth the drive. Their pork belly burnt ends are incredibly juicy, flavorful, and tender. It's like grown-ups candy! Balance things out with some roasted Brussels sprouts and you get your veggies in. Nicely cooked, well seasoned, with a slight char to enhance the seasoning. The pulled pork is tender and juicy; however, the ribs could be a little more tender -- not quite fall-of-the-bone tender. Service is great with friendly staff, but wait times can be a bit long if they're busy -- there's plenty of seating both inside and outside at their patio, so it can affect service speed and bit. Please visit their socials before driving there, especially in the summertime, as they often hold events during weekdays that PACK the place. Overall a nice alternative, with a nice rustic feel, with tasty smoked meats, and reasonable prices.
