16 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Maplewood

“tl;dr: All you can eat delicious hotpot AND Korean BBQ! The best place to have hotpot on this side of the twin cities!

Service and Price: You’re coming here for hotpot and/or korean bbq, so it will be a bit more expensive than normal restaurants. But that is to be expected, as it is literally all you can eat. Every time I’ve visited, the seating has been prompt and the wait staff have been speedy and attentive. Each of our visits have had very friendly and helpful staff as well, which has made our visits so much more enjoyable. You order your hotpot ingredients and they bring it out to the table in separate dishes, as much as you want. Be aware that they do charge extra for gratuitous waste, so don’t go overboard.

Selection: Their food is delicious. Have you ever wanted to try ten different types of meats in one sitting? Well, you can do that here, very easily. Every seat has its own personal pot heater built into the table so everyone at the table gets their own pot. The table shares a communal grill, with the bigger tables getting a grill for every 6-8 people. They offer a generous variety of broths, which are refilled as frequently as you wish. There is a good selection of noodles, and you can also try dozens of different veggies. They also have a sauce and dip bar, where you can get many different types of things to dip, dunk, smother, or cover your foods in. This definitely made for a very interesting and delicious culinary experience.

Location: Located just off I-694 in Maplewood, it is very easy to find and get to, and the parking lot is large and ample.

Interior: The building is a remodeled Pizza Ranch, and is well suited for the new purpose. They keep everything nice and clean, and the decor inside is impressive and cute. They made a conscious effort to make it their own space, and they have done exceptionally well.

Overall: I love it, and I will continue to come back for their great food and service!“

“Ok, we’ve all heard it time and time again. Everyone has the best bbq. Just ask them. 90% of the time, I go somewhere and I’m disappointed. Definitely not the case with Pitty Q. I have never heard about this place until about a week ago. It popped up on my facebook page. A review from Tony Cu. Tony had nothing but good things to say about this place. So I told my wife, “When we go down for the Vikings game, we’re going to try this place out.” Man am I glad we did. My wife and I split the 3 meat meal. The brisket, ribs, and chicken were phenomenal. Best bbq, besides my own, that I’ve had in Minnesota. The vinegar and mustard sauce is to die for. 10/10 Will definitely come back.“

“Best brisket and beans money or random kindness can get you 🔥♥️ We loved it and will be back next week“

“Takeout exceeded my expectations: The spring rolls are incredible and packed with greens, chicken skewers are tender and well seasoned, peanut sauce is divine and the mango sticky rice had sweet ripe mangoes and sliced strawberries. I will be back- Thank you!“

“Excellent service and pristine restaurant Friendly and helpful service I give Eagan Dickies kudos to this business Thank you Dickies“

“I have been eyeing this spot for awhile and finally swung by to give it a try. The first thing I noticed when I pulled up was the smell & sight of their smoker going out back. Nothing compares to the flavor coming off a real BBQ. The lady who took my order was very friendly and helpful. I opted for the jerk chicken with sides of mac & cheese, Green beans with smoked turkey and red beans & rice. I got my food in about 5 minutes and ended up taking it to go. The drive home was rough as the smell was amazing and I wanted to pull over and dig in! When I finally did get home I dug in. This was a large plate of food! The chicken was extremely flavorful and moist. I could taste the smoke on it which is a huge plus! The mac & cheese was creamy and rich. The green beans with smoked turkey was very good and the red beans and rice was really flavorful especially served underneath the jerk chicken. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for some good BBQ in St. Paul!“

“Great location on the water, relaxed atmosphere and Live Music!“

“I can only access this place in the late afternoon, but I gotta go as soon as he's finished cooking cause the taste is always close to great. I've read the reviews and I've only ever had the old man, just lucky I guess. If they made lunchboxes I'd eat here every day.“

“The Coop catered my husband's funeral luncheon. very kind and professional to work with. The food was so good; we had a lot on comments on it. Highly recommend.“

“Great place. Great tap beer selection and the food is outstanding!“

“Although I do recommend this restaurant, the line cooks for the life of them can’t cook a well done steak to save their lives. And yes , I love my steaks well done so please don’t come for me lbvs. I think they’re biased and hate cooking them that long.. lol everything else is always on point though, so I still come back no matter what. One day I’ll get my steak cooked how I want it lol“

“The Mallards’ smashburger is always one of my favorites no matter which location we visit. Yesterday we celebrated one of my wife’s milestone birthdays and Lisa made the experience memorable! She is so knowledgeable, friendly, humorous, and entertaining. What a treasure for Mallards!“

“Amazing chicken wings!!!! Love the red beans and rice“

“The space is beautiful and inviting. Staff seem excited by the new venue and the offerings which are delicious (we tried the beef and chicken patties, goat curry and chicken. Everything came with generous sides). We can't wait for the winter ski-in/walk- in/bike-in hot soups and coffee service.“
