21 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Arden Hills

“I can't wait to go back!! The aroma in the parking lot will send you running in. It was our first time here. We both ordered pulled pork sandwiches and they were soooo delicious and on point: moist tender smoky meat on a grilled brioche bun. So top notch. The bbq sauces are out of this world! I'm buying bottles next time. The cole slaw was very good as well as the mac n cheese. Person taking our order was very friendly and efficient. Only thing I noticed is I think they need more space as its kind of small there and was hoppin and pretty crowded at lunchtime.“

“Oh good gravy, I can’t begin to explain how good their Ruben Sandwich is! Side salad also on par with what tastes like homemade dressing. The side of homemade chips is a surprise bonus of deliciousness.Second time grabbing take out from here and the flavor and quality are just solid!“

“Finally tried out northbound smokehouse and it did not disappoint! They have both an indoor and outdoor seating area great for when weather permits! (Picnic tables outside on the patio) There are plenty of drink options from beer, cocktails, wines, to non alcoholic. I ordered the cider sidecar (7/10) and tried one of the IPAs (8/10) and thought both were pretty good. For food we got smoked wings (sweet and spicy 7/10) and cheese curds (8/10). For my main meal I got the brisket grilled cheese which was delicious! (9/10) Our server was very tentative and our food came out timely! I will be returning in the future!“

“This place is great, prices are reasonable, the roast beef is super tender, service is good and the store is clean,but I just want to take a moment to shout out the chicken wild rice. I’m a huge chicken wild rice soup fanatic and I can be a bit particular, but this is the best chicken wild rice soup I’ve I ever had. It has this depth of flavor I rarely see, like it’s kind of tangy with some sort of acidity? It kind of tastes like a hint of curry powder but not really?? Whatever it is it’s incredible.“

“BBQ brisket had great flavor, was moist and held the sauce well. BBQ Sauce (hot) had good flavor with a nice kick. Was really thick so that was nice not having a super drippy/messy sandwich. Pickles are just standard DILL and the sides tasted good (smoked white cheddar Mac and Cole slaw) If you order a side portion of sticky rice it comes with 2 heaping piles of delicious steamed sticky rice. Hmong pepper sauce is a great addition that levels up the spice even a little more! Great on the sandwich and rice.“

“I went there with a group from my church and we all loved everything we ordered! I had the smoked pork, baked beans and cole slaw! It was all so tasty!! My daughter had the smoked turkey, gravy, and corn on the cob! We both highly recommend the food!“

“My friends and I stumbled into this restaurant when Up Down was too packed to enjoy. It happened to be my birthday weekend so I was open to trying something new. I absolutely loved our waiter. He wasn't pushy, had a sake bomb with us, was super nice and funny, and introduced me to the Peach Cosmopolitan. YUMMY! The food was delicious and the dessert was exceptional! Will definitely be back for more!The only reason why I gave it 4 stars was because when we first walked in, I told them how many people (3), and no one said anything to me. No, "it'll be a few minutes but please have a seat" or even mentioning the fact that there were people waiting ahead of us. We stood awkwardly in front of them but eventually moved to the side when we realized we wouldn't be seated right away. We almost walked out after waiting 10 minutes but were called to be seated as we were about to Google another spot.“

“I've been wanting to try this place for a while. I went for the current special, Cuban sandwich, but they were sold out for the day. So I ordered a shredded beef arepa and it was awesome! Very flavorful and tender meat. I gotta say, it doesn't look all that big but the amount of beef in there was super generous and I couldn't finish the whole thing. Got a side of yuca fries and those were great as well. Will definitely be back!“

“I recently visited here and was thoroughly impressed by their smoked chicken, which had a perfect smokiness without needing any sauce – a true winner in my book!The brisket and ribs were also top-notch, some of the best I've had. However, I was a bit disappointed with the macaroni and cheese; it lacked the richness I was hoping for and could use more butter and cheese.Overall, it's a place definitely worth a visit for their outstanding meats, but the sides could use a bit more attention and love“

“We ordered their sampler platter, which was said to be enough for two. It is a good size to try their food, but not enough to be fully full. We also had the Mac bites. Overall, the food was good and flavorful. The staff was helpful on the phone with questions regarding their menu. The restaurant itself was small. There were six tables that seated 2-4 people. Overall, a good place to get wings, ribs, and other BBQ sides locally.“

“The rib tips are to absolutely die for.Adams Soul To Go is a absolute hidden gem here in the Roseville Potluck Center.I will be back for dinner.Kid-friendliness: Great space to have the kids for lunch. Lots of seating and space.Wheelchair accessibility: Located in the Roseville mall everything is very accessible“

“We order from Black Market because the food is amazing. Yesterday we hosted a 40 person couples baby shower (BaByQ) and served Black Market brisket, ribs, mac&cheese and of coyrse their amazing beans (almost more meat than beans). The shower was successful and people raved about the food!! Jill was so wonderful to work with throughout the process. What an extraordinary experience!!“

“Detroit Ribs were TENDER & FABULOUS! Greens & Hot Water Bread (not sweet) were Good! Baked Beans & Banana Pudding were Good!Several Framed Magazine/Newspaper Award Winning/Best Articles on the Walls! Service was Respectful but a bit slow through no fault of his own! Call Ahead! ?Parking: Small number of parking spots.Wheelchair accessibility: Street/Ground Level.“

“We came here tonight for my dad's 69th birthday. We really enjoyed the food and the service. The pork ribs and wings were especially great, and our server was awesome. The fat cap on the pork rips gave a solid bacon vibe, and they were still very juicy. I will definitely be returning.“

“Hmmm… pretty good. Ribfest offerings were aplenty and the pricing was quite fair. I really liked the mac n chz. However the ribs themselves were very small and therefore dry. The pickled things on the side were an absolute withered joke. Got all three sauces and they all tasted the same (seriously? No white BBQ??) I much prefer the juicy ribs from Boomin. But Boomin and Animales both used frozen corn in their elote salads. Serious question, do you guys think the public is braindead? My first bite was literally still-thawing corn with Parmesan flavor. Dilly beans and banana pudding get full marks. Biscuits definitely needed salt. But seriously. Get it together where it counts guysEdit to respond. Bruh that corn was not charred at all which is necessary for esquites. Hence the frozen vibes. And you know what I meant about the cheese. Cotija or queso fresco, whichever you used.“

“Terrific place, all around. Huge selection of beg, proteins for every taste, and a handy guide to put together your base from mild to spicy. Server was very friendly and helpful. Brought my co-workers here for their first time, they are already planning our next lunch date here!Vegetarian options: Variety of veg options, great selectionDietary restrictions: Veg and meat proteins a plenty. Great for keto, diabetic...you csn customize as you likeParking: Easy to park“

“My group of 3 stop in before seeing a show last night. We all got they royal burger, which I really liked, i loved the fact the chips they came with were tortilla chips. I really like tortilla chips.The fried cheese curds were really good too.The did forget to bring us our cheese curds, but brought them out right away when we brought it to their attention.Drink wise, I got a cider (I don't like beer personally) which was from number twelve next door. It was as I expected, I liked it. Wasn't too dry or too sweet.My friend got the midas and he said it wasn't bad, but not really his favorite. My sister in law got bi-frost bridge, which she did like a lot.Service was pretty good, the two guys behind the bar were really nice and helpful.I liked the interior set up, I tend to like open floor concepts. They have some games and stuff to play too if you wanted.Will definitely come again if I'm in the area.“

“For an affordable yet delicious BBQ experience, head to Smoke Session. Known for serving the best BBQ in town, their beef brisket, smoked pork belly, and pork ribs are must-tries. The beef brisket boasts juiciness and tenderness, while the smoked pork belly offers a perfect mix of lean and fat meat. The pork ribs are cooked to perfection, effortlessly falling off the bone. Be sure to try their spicy pepper sauce for a flavorful dipping option.“

“Went on a Sunday around 1pm. Was seated right away. Huge menu with lots of things to choose from. The food description was well written so it's easy to order what you want. I really like that there's a variety of dishes from pho, appetizers and stir fries even seafood boil.There's a cute photo backdrop bench at the front entry for those that like taking photos. The customer service was great. Definitely coming back to try the other food items. ?“

“Had a classic? over lunch and it was pretty tasty! Got an unexpected call from Emily the owner. She expressed how sorry she was for how long the order took, due to unforseen circumstance. She did not have to make that phone call, but it spoke volumes about her integrity and dedication to service! Please check this place out!“

“I love Famous Daves! The food is ALWAYS good; service is always good. The St Louis ribs are my favorite ?? But Dave, please bring your azz back to WOODBURY! No one has time to keep driving to St Paul in all that dang on traffic for some ribs! Come back! A loyal customer “
