The staff was super nice the place was really clean bathrooms in all 10 out of 10 food I gave it 5 out of 10 macaroni was really soupy no flavor to the macaroni and cheese the melted cheese on the top lol ??♀️there was no flavor the greens were spicy but no flavoring I understand that you guys cater to people who are diabetics and other people who can not have salt but there are other herbs and spices you can cook with the beef brisket was really dry I give that a 2 out of 10 the rib tips wasn't fall off the bone the slab of ribs wasn't as tender as it was supposed to be it should have fall right off the bone coleslaw was just out the bag didn't really have no flavor and if you get a platter you should get more than one piece of Texas toast and the prices of a platter are outrageous but I guess

The food is amazing, I love the Collard greens, and it's become one of my favorite side dishes. The service is top notch, and the workers are friendly and really inviting! The atmosphere is amazing. As soon as you step in, the woody aromatics of smoked meat hits your nose, and the lovely vibe there is amazing.
It's one of my favorite places to grub at whenever I crave Brisket!

FireBox BBQ is the best Barbecue I have had in the Twin Cities. This place has that actual real smoke that you can taste and smell. I had the 2 meat platter with brisket and ribs. Both were phenomenal. The brisket was tender and juicy with a nice crust. Same with the pork ribs, always having a nice smoke ring in the meat. Coleslaw was great. Prices were reasonable. Service was great. The house BBQ sauce was also one of my favorite BBQ sauces I've had.
Whatever wood they used to smoke the meats makes it taste soo good (you can smell it when you enter the restaurant), even mama’s pepper sauce is smoked to perfection ??. Anyway, this cured my craving for smoked meats. I will definitely be back! ?

The owners and staff are very respectful. When I wait for my take out order, I usually have a seat at the bar and sip on some wine. That's where I go to get my bar-b-que fix.
We ordered the Firebox Feast. The pork ribs are the best in this combo. The picture shows our left overs. It is plenty of food for at least 5 meat for a couple. So, the price is definitely worth it. For picking up, you can park at Whole foods and walk.

Food was phenomenal. I'm so glad i took a gamble and tried this place today. It really was the best bbq we've had in Minnesota here. Ribs were moist and tender, brisket was buttery soft, and even the wings are smoked! I was really surprised by the quality of the side dishes.

For MN, this place is average at best or almost as good as most BBQ places in the Upper Midwest. I've been to most of the best BBQ places in Texas, so I know how BBQ to perfection should taste like. I ordered the brisket, tips, pork ribs, wings, and Mac N cheese. Brisket: 7/10 a little dry, lacking that tick flavorful crust and ring. The flavor was okay. 0 same situation as the brisket. Pork ribs: 6/10 I've had better in MN. Same as the situation as the brisket and tips. There is a trend here that I picked up on really fast. 0 One of the worst smoked wings and almost flavorless... Mac N 0 Very dry, hardly any cheese except for the sprinkle of shredded cheese on top of it. I won't be going here again for BBQ.

Really, really good. I can see what others are saying about the meat being a little bland, though. I think if they left their rub in a salt shaker at each table it would be perfect!
Food was delicious! I especially loved the brisket ?

It was my first visit. I had some surprisingly delicious potato salad. The ribs were delicious and tender. Beef brisket was very good. The food was tasty, and the service was excellent. I will return and try some of their other offerings.
Parking: I was able to park in their lot which is very small.

In a moment of weakness last night I got famous Dave's... I don't know why I bothered. This afternoon I thought I would come by to get some real BBQ. Firebox is ten times better in every way. Bipoc owned and operated, local, and the ribs AND sauce are superior. The instant I bit in, I could tell the difference.
