Great spot, has been very accommodating when we come in with our choir after performances. Delicious bacon, the smoked beet salad is creative and tasty, the smokestack is legendary. Last time they had a mortadella melt that was superb. Oh and the wild rice beer is quite enjoyable.

Vegetarian options: Great salads

Excellent smoked buffalo chicken wings and BBQ platter was very good also. Light rail pale ale is a new favorite.

We've been here several times and I feel like we consistently leave underwhelmed. Like not bad, just not something I'd go out of my way for if it wasn't close to home. The beers are okay to good. The porchetta, pulled chicken are good. Not wild about the ribs, brisket, or burnt ends here. Maybe we're missing the stars of the menu. I don't think we've gotten the wings, for instance. But overall, just meh.

One of the best patios in the area! That’s the main thing that has kept us coming back. Service on the patio has usually been quite slow, but it’s a pleasant enough space to not matter much. People like the barbecue sampler platter a lot.
For a barbecue restaurant, it’s impressive that they have a house-made wild rice burger.

Delicious food and friendly staff! The smoked meats are flavorful and tender, especially the porketta. My favorite sides are the pickles, smoked beets, and french fries.
