★★★★☆ 4.0 Chris · May 2025

The food was good. The brisket was a little dry for my taste. The ribs were pretty good but needed flavor. I added a Bourbon sweet and spicy sauce, and it was delicious. The Bacon was also very good. The customer service was excellent. The lady was really nice. The music was really cool. I wanted to stay and eat there. Overall, it's probably the best BBQ place in the Twin Cities.

Some of the best bbq I’ve had in Minnesota, no question. I’ve only had a few beef ribs in my life, but I think this takes the cake as the best. Extremely flavorful, juicy, and comically fun to eat The ribs tasted good and they were cooked well. Nothing to write home about, but we will definitely order them again. The pork butt was so flavorful and obviously the cheapest of the meats - would make fantastic catering food for sandwiches My reason for a 4 rather than a 5 is due to the dryness of the brisket. Unfortunately, it was some of the drier and chewier brisket I have tasted in recent years, and based on that I cannot recommend it at all. The mac and cheese was also just so-so Everything else was great, the people were super friendly, and we can’t wait to go back many more times!

Some of the best ribs in Saint Paul. Brisket is delicious, but a bit fatty. Their beef ribs are always sold out when I order, so yet to have them. Their baked beans also come with a ton of pulled pork and are ridiculously cheap for the amount of food you get. Highly recommend this BBQ pop-up

Pros: great folks, great service, tasty ribs and decent sides. Can’t really complain about most of the items we tried. They were all solid. I like that the pit uses local woods. Shows a nice level of care for the craft. Cons: They don’t trim their whole briskets. I find that this lends itself to an overly greasy product with big chunks of hard fat that can’t render properly. It made the point end of the brisket almost inedible for me. I understand the philosophical and (potentially) logistical reasons for this method. But I was pissed about paying extra for what should be trim on my Christmas brisket.

Unbelievably delicious meat treats! Everything is superb! I had the baby back ribs, the beef spare rib, some candied bacon, and some Smoky mac and cheese and everything was fantastic! The portion sizes are enormous, the service sublime. Get your orders in for Friday pickup! You will not be disappointed
