★★★★★ 5.0 Gophers MN · Oct 2025

If you’re in Duluth or even just passing through, drive just a few more miles to Two Harbors, this spot is absolutely worth the trip. I’ve eaten barbecue all over the country, from Texas and beyond, and I can honestly say this place ranks right up there with some of the best competition-level barbecue I’ve ever had. The brisket sandwich is simple and perfect soft, fresh bun, moist smoked brisket, and that unmistakable real smoke flavor that sets it apart. The potato salad is spot on, and everything else I ordered was just as impressive. The brisket bites/burnt ends, were outstanding, full of flavor and tenderness. And those jalapeño poppers? No exaggeration, they’re incredible. I’m genuinely happy to write this review because it’s such a win to have a place like this in the area. Duluth

Had the brisket mac and cheese and the hot mess pork sandwich. Both were excellent. Chatted with the man taking orders and he talked about smoking the meats every morning. That's quite a lot of work for a one or two man crew. You're paying for effort and it really shines through. If you love bbq, don't hesitate to stop. If you want cheap meat, go to mcdonald's.

Stopped here on the recommendation of folks who are up in Two Harbors a lot. We got a full rack of ribs, some sides and a quarter pound of brisket. The ribs fed three adults with some left over and the sides were more than enough for us. Needless to say I took home some finger lick’n left overs.

Great brisket sandwich. This is basically a roadside food stand in Two Harbors. Right in highway 61. Outdoor seating. The brisket was perfect, nice bark and juicy and tender. Small gravel parking lot.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Mj Hart · Aug 2025

The food was good as well as the service. We like eating outside but was our first time in Two Harbors and it is a bustling, touristy town, so just know it is a little noisy. Very nice man taking our orders too. A bit pricey for what you get, $13 for a sandwich only. But hey were on vacation. $39 total for two sandwiches, a piece of corn bread and two shakes.
