We stumbled upon this amazing BBQ place while traveling and so glad we did! My husband got ribs, Mac and cheese and delicious cornbread and said it was amazing. My half chicken, Southern rice and coleslaw was so delicious! (I'm gluten free and could have ordered almost everything on the menu)
We highly recommend Maxwell's!!
The chef/owner came out to see how we liked everything and he's was a very nice man.
BTW it is a little hard to find though... It's actually inside the bar Three Twenty Brewing Company with no signage outside.

Stopped for lunch one Saturday in January, Both pulled pork and brisket sandwich were the best ever had! The meat is excellently smoked and tasty, not drenched in BBQ sauce. All sides were delicious, seemed homemade, and very fresh. Mac & Cheese was great. We were impressed! So we ordered a large order for a gathering and we were not disappointed! Ribs were fall off the bone and lots of homemade BBQ provided on the side. Cornbread is divine. Owner and staff all very accommodating and friendly, an excellent stop when on the road and near Maxwell's in Pine City. Stop in if you love BBQ you will not be disappointed!

If I could eat those bbq beans by the gallon, I would. Sooo good! Ribs were great, sauce is tasty and they fell right off the bone. Cornbread was super yummy. Coleslaw was good (wish it were a titch more tangy and sweet) and the Mac n cheese was cheesy deliciousness. Staff is wonderful and this place should be packed all the time! What an amazing gem to find on our way back home from the north shore. Worth the stop in Pine City!

We dropped by for lunch on a Saturday (our 20th 'cue stop in the Gopher state, and the 394th nationwide), to be warmly greeted by the husband and wife team who own the restaurant and churn out the BBQ. With Blues music playing in the background, we ordered Loaded Tater Tots, a pulled pork sandwich with coleslaw, additional sides of baked beans and cornbread, and a diet drink (Coke products), The bill came to $32.70 plus tip, and was well worth it. The tots were crispy, and the pulled pork on both plates nicely smoked, moist and tasty. The sandwich came sauced, so be sure and ask for the sauce on the side if you are doing take out. The sides are outstanding. The beans are exceptional, and here's a hint: pour them over the tater tots! The cornbread is light and moist, and the coleslaw the perfect palate cleansing bite for a meal in which you are moving back and forth between two or more meats. In sum, this is destination 'cue, and one of the best of the twenty BBQ restaurants we have reviewed in Minnesota.
Parking: There is a lot across the street, and on street parking in front of the restaurant.
