D’s Smokehouse

5 stars!It was our first visit. The food was excellent, the service was great.We're both low carbohydrate, animal based eaters so my elderly mother went with a light selection, one pound of chicken wings (with the house dry rub) from the appetizer menu. The wings were great. And I opted for the beef brisket meal from the entree menu. The brisket was off-the-hook great!LOW CARB: It was a little tricky eating low carbohydrate carnivore style at D's. They make you order 2 sides with the meals. And unfortunately, all of the sides are plant based. I opted for as low starch & as low sugar as possible so I selected the "Veggie of the Day" (fried Brussel Sprouts) and the Ciao Ciao (a style of pickled slaw). Both sides had great taste. But I definitely would have opted out of the plant products if I was given the choice to order meats a la carte. I ate all of the Ciao Ciao, but I just picked at the Brussel Sprouts and threw most of them away.The service was great, I couldn't have asked for anything better. We opted to sit at a high top table in the bar area so we were served by the bartender. Despite being busy as hell AND PREGNANT, the bartender kicked ass and dished out excellent service. She never stopped moving and hustling and smiling. Very impressive!!!My only gripe...and it's a minor one...is that D's doesn't sell meat by the pound or a la carte. If they did, I'd definitely be a regular, grabbing orders of Brisket by the pound.Thumbs up!-Maxx

The service was outstanding. Perhaps that is because we were there during happy hour and it was crowded, however, this was my third time there and I always felt very welcome. The brisket on the nachos were well smoked but perhaps a little dry, The small container of salsa just wasn't enough, the chips were over salted as was the white cheese sauce. Cheese sauce rather than grated cheese seems to be the new fad in MN. It can be good but for me it just can't replace real cheese no matter how much it simplifies kitchen chores. We never should have ordered them we ended up with way too much food for 2 people. The brussel sprouts were perfect, the mashed potatoes were nothing special and the meatloaf was dry and the marina sauce did nothing for it. A good brown gravy would have been much better.The mac'n cheese was nothing special and the picked vegetables just should have had more flavor.The smoked chicken was perfect in every way but by the time I got to it I was too full to enjoy it. I guess if you are way out in Zimmerman with no real competition you don't need to be perfect and you can get away having a chef that doesn't understand flavors. I could be wrong the chef may understand exactly what rural Minnesotans expect and want.

This place left an everlasting impression on me, meaning I'll never forget what I ate lol The environment was chill and food was DELICIOUS. Recommended 10/10

You guysssss! I have never, ever had brisket like this in my life. So tender, it basically melts in your mouth, but has this awesome charred outer texture. We stopped here on our way up north, and will definitely be back! Kudos to the chef, as all of our dishes were a 10/10. The baked beans were a really special treat.

We loved the ribs and brisket! Both are a must. Our favorite item though was the brisket grilled cheese, so flavorful! They are kid friendly. Big outdoor patio but lots of seating inside as well. These include tables, booths, and bar seating. We were surprised that we got the last 1/2 rack ribs on a Friday evening, not sure if that is the norm for some dishes to run out? Friendly staff and the manager was very sweet, came over to check in. We wish that they did reservations, but even on a Friday evening, there was a minimal wait.

Have been here numerous times and have never had a bad meal. If you love meat and barbecue this is the place. Their brisket, BBQ Mac, and brussel sprouts have all been simply amazing. The servers, staff, cook, and manager have been friendly, greeting us and asking how we liked our food. I never tire of it. It can get very busy, so go early.

First time coming here and I will definitely be going back again and again. I liked the layout. We had a booth. Our waitress was very nice. I ordered the "3 little pigs" sandwich and my boyfriend ordered the "D's Burger." We both loved our food. I personally have not liked bbq sauce very much for a while after eating it way too much, but decided to order a sandwich with their BBQ sauce anyway and it was delicious! It was the perfect amount of sauce and the meat was cooked to perfection and tasty. The bathrooms were nice and clean. There was a tv with the football game on by where we were sitting.

Three stars for the excellent service during busy dinner time. Clearly the servers love their job. Food however was sub-par and disappointing. Wings with dry rub were very salty, and I like salt. They would've been great otherwise. Smoked salmon salad was eh. Lacking flavor and salmon just sprinkled on top. $24 Salmon entree came with no sides except the "succatash" which was corn and bean salsa straight out of the Simplot Sysco frozen section. It's not succotash, which is with Lima beans and not roasted. This was also in my salad. Brisket Mac and cheese was the best item we ordered. Maybe we ordered the wrong things, I don't know. The tab came to $96 for the food, two beers and a coke. Not worth the price and will not return.

Been here a few times. The food is not great at all. It's hit and miss! The drinks are straight trash! Mom's homemade meatloaf is a frozen patty! And the baked beans are BUCHES lol!

We had ordered from D's for a family gathering of 45 people. Ashley took our order and was very friendly and easy to work with.Ordered Sliced Brisket, Puller Pork, Ribs, shredded Chicken, baked beans, Cole slaw and Mac & Cheese. We picked it up and everything was hot and ready. All the food was amazing. Would recommend for large or small parties.Great job staff at D's.
