19 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Bloomington

“Stopped by Smokestack Express today for lunch with my daughter and my brother and hands down ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. The brisket was tender, ribs were perfect, beans had a ton of flavor, Mac n cheese was delicious and don’t sleep on the sauces. Personally I really liked the spicy and the hot but that sweet was also amazing as well. Trevor and his crew do an amazing job. Everything was cooked to perfection. If you’re in the Bloomington Mn area this is a must stop place for Que! Great job Smokestack Express. 5 ⭐️’s all the way.“

“What a great spot! Had an early dinner here with my wife last night. The owners were super nice and gave us the run down! Super friendly, I got the three meat plate (sliced brisket, pork and sausage) with beans, dirty rice and Texas toast! Good portions for the cost! Pork was my favorite, the brisket could have been a tad more moist and sausage was just ok. My wife got the rib special, the ribs were good but it seemed like we had some that were old/dry and not as fresh and others that were great. Some fell right off the bone which was nice, I noticed the membrane was still on the ribs which is not typical? Very cozy vibes in here though! Oh they also had a homemade BBQ sauce that was perfect, not too smoky and just the right consistency! We will be back to try some more! Cheers!“

“good food, good portions, good price. I'll have to try the ribs next time. When i asked about a picnic area, she directed me to a hidden spot on the banks of Minnehaha Creek. Perfect!“

“good place to eat BBQ bring your appetite the plates are big“

“Ted Cook’s 19th Hole BBQ is outstanding. The sauce is spicy, sweet, tangy and thick. The marinated meat is rich with the aroma of hickory smoke. Delicious!!!

Tonight we ordered half a chicken and the full slab of pork ribs. They always pile on the jojo (pronounced HoHo) potatoes on top of it. We also love the baked beans, coleslaw, etc. Try the hot links sometime! You won’t be disappointed.

“We are not from here, we are fr Oi I'm from Toronto, and we are here to visit families. Every time we are here, we always have to go to Famous Dave for lunch or dinner.“

“I stopped in for the first time since the Nelson family sold the business in November & I must say I'm pretty darn impressed. 👏🏻 The beef brisket is 🔥!!! There HAS to be crack in the bbq sauce cuz it's legit the best I've ever tasted & I already need more 😂. I prefer sweet & mild sauce & it was exactly that - but they also have a great selection of other sauces & seasonings available for your pantry, & of course, an excellent assortment of high quality butcher shop meats. A lil part of me misses the old menu w/the sandwiches named after local streets, but the new menu is more expanded & the prices are totally reasonable! I'll definitely be back sooner than later.... 👍🏻👌🏻“

“The food is good but the Willie McCoy band is awesome �� I just wish the played somewhere else when not there“

“Food Was AH~Mazing! From The Corn Bread to The Pulled Pork! Great Service! Highly Recommend!“

“Went for a walk with the family, was hungry stopped in great service perfect prices food just awesome. If your in Minnesota be sure to stop here. Accommodated a dog on the back patio for us, we walked out to sit down and food was practically on our heals, gives famous Dave's a run for their money honestly I would eat here instead. Thank you.“

“Great patio, excellent service, interesting food, and nice selection of their own beer.“

“Food always hits here. The Turkey tips are my favorite, juicy turkey bits and bbq sauce on a bed of crispy fries. I’ve also tried the Turkey dogs, tacos, lasagna, turkey burger, and Turkey legs. Everything is a slam dunk!!“

“Excellent BBQ!!!
SO good!!!
We're from St. Louis and can never find good BBQ away from home (except Texas). I'm so glad we found this place. Truly excellent flavors, perfectly cooked meats. And the sides are to die for.
Not to mention it being in a location that's very worth visiting.
We love Smoke in the Pit!“

“Very nice experience we all enjoyed definitely coming back!!! Everything was just perfect 🤩“
