Baker's Ribs

We've been coming to Baker's Ribs for years now, and it's always something we look forward to enjoying! We also love the catering offerings for your bigger gatherings. The space itself is situated in a small strip mall, so there is plenty of lot parking in the vicinity. The interior is wacky, cozy, and a place to simply take in and enjoy. The smells of the smoker, the kitschy amount of pigs everywhere, and the rumble of fellow patrons enjoying their BBQ. The owner can usually be found behind the bar, chopping up the best BBQ in the Cities! The food is phenomenal! I usually go for the chopped brisket (pre-mixed with BBQ sauce) or the sliced brisket, but the ribs are "fall off the bone" tender. Plenty of sides to choose from, but my go to is the coleslaw and potato salad!

It was my very first time to have brisket sandwich in MN, it was so delicious and juicy! The space of restaurant will take you back in time and it's kind of 66 Rt. Restaurant style! High recommend!

This was on my list of places to try. I like the set up and ambiance of the inside. Kind of old time feel. The server helped my pick my order which turned out to be just mediocre. The ribs were just ok and the sides were decent. I did not like the dirty rice at all. I would give this place another try.

Amazing menu and staff! Loved the atmosphere and service. Reminded so much of my time in Fort Worth Texas and all of the amazing Texas style bbq I loved.

Drove some way to try this Texas-style bbq joint, with colorful signs all over the walls. Better than most of the bbq I've actually had in Texas. The ribs were perfectly tender, just ideal. Sauce, not too spicy, comes in a bottle they give you with your food. Sides a little more mixed: the dirty rice was overly dry and rather plain, but the corn salad was really good.Order at the counter, and they'll have your food ready by the time you move over to the register to pay.

After getting my hair cut next door, I decided to try Baker's Ribs after asking a family walking out the door how their meal was. They said it was great - enough for me to try it. Upon entering, I was surprised at how large the dining area was adorned with antiques, license plates hanging on the wall, and pigs hanging from the ceiling! You place your order at the counter then quickly receive your order. I ordered their House Special - 1/3 lb. chopped beef sandwich with your choice of two sides from 8 options. I chose traditional coleslaw and potato salad for my sides. You choose your condiments at a separate counter where I grabbed some pickles and pickled jalapeño. As for my meal, the chopped beef was a little smoky, but that's all I can say was positive. I did not detect any beef flavor and the texture was mushy. I tasted the bbq sauce that tasted like watered down ketchup, so I asked for a spicy bbq sauce that tasted the same, only with some heat. The coleslaw was my favorite part of the meal that was fresh and crunchy, but under seasoned. The potato salad was do bland with the texture of chunky mashed potato, and it was quite dense and again under seasoned. I added salt and pepper to get more flavor, but it just wasn't there. I was disappointed with the lack of flavor, and I will unlikely return.

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!

Baker's ribs has some of the best ribs in Minnesota! Made the trip down to get some and wasn't disappointed. The meat falls off the bone and it's extremely tender and packed with flavor. The bbq sauce was rich and plentiful. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful and gave us some recommendations for the sides. We ended up getting 4 different kinds - beans, coleslaw, dirty rice, and pasta salad. They were all good in their own way but none of them were extraordinary. As for the place itself. It is full of fun decoration with many different pigs, signs, and pictures. Really liked coming here and would recommend!

Was on that end of town for business, had to stop here for take out. Got the chopped brisket and baked beans. Was sooo good as a always. Love this place, have been an infrequent customer since the mid 90s. Bought catering to go for a grad party from them as well, they borrowed us the wire chafers at no charge. This place is the best, highly recommend and the beans are a must.

Just terrific in every way. Outstanding brisket. Strong recommend. The people here are so nice and I find myself just wanting to come back every time I'm in this area.
