We decided to ditch our usual stay-at-home wine night for a girlfriend date night at Market Bar-B-Que, and let me tell you -- best. decision. ever. We basically ordered half the menu: rib tips, pulled pork, greens, mac-n-cheese, coleslaw, fries, candied yams, BBQ chicken and some other things that I can't remember. Did we hurt ourselves with the amount of food? Absolutely. Was it worth every bite? 1000%.Honestly, I barely had time to take pics because we just dove in as soon as the food hit the table -- no regrets! The flavors were so good that pausing for a photo felt like a crime.Our server was a total rockstar -- kept our drinks full and had us laughing like old friends. The cherry on top? We met the head cook and got to personally thank him for creating what can only be described as barbecue magic.The place isn't brand new or a modern Instagram photoshoot ready type of place, but it's got that good down-home, relaxing, feel-good vibe that makes you want to stay awhile. If you're looking for good food and good service this is the spot. We came for the barbecue and left with full hearts, fuller stomachs, and zero regrets. Highly recommend -- just wear stretchy pants.

Unfortunately this take away order was not the best. The beef did not seem freshly made and bland. BBQ Beef Commercial should have had the gravy on the side, because it was completely soggy by the time we got home. Perhaps dining in would have resulted in a different experience.

Excellent - 5 stars!1. First of all, the BBQ is excellent!!! I don't have enough adjectives in my vocabulary to do it justice. Every bite of food we put in our mouths was wonderful. I don't know how I made all these years as a Native Minnesotan without experiencing this place. I've been missing out. I don't get it - at all - the negative reviews. If you're a Homo sapiens, if you can still fog a mirror, and if you have working taste buds - you'll love this food.2. We tried a nice sampling of the meats. The Beef Brisket (sliced with sauce & white bread) was perfect. The Cajun Boiled Shrimp (split and served with melted butter) was heavenly. They're also huge. They looked like mini-lobster tails. The Smoked Whole Wings (with house sauce) were excellent. I loved the sauce too. And the wings were HUGE, Arnold Schwarzeneggar size! They're at least 2, maybe 3 times bigger than regular wings. They must have a secret source of super-sized chickens somewhere. Finally, the hot links were off-the-hook great! These were my favorite.3. I can't comment much on the plant based options since I'm a low carb eater. But I watched a few tables of patrons enjoying some awesome looking sides...giant corn bread, potato salad, baked beans, etc.4. The service was great. I couldn't have asked for anything better. Our server was totally on top of his game, attentive without being overbearing. I chatted with 2 of the staff and they're really knowledgeable about the history of this place. The history is long and deep.5. I love the décor. Everything - I mean everything - is from 1946. It was all transported from the original Downtown location in 2018. I'm talking about all the 1946 art deco light fixtures, the antique tin ceiling, the furniture, the celebrity photos... Incredible.6. Last but not least, the history is amazing. This restaurant (owned by the same family), was established in 1946. They moved to NE in 2018 because the original building downtown was sold and redeveloped. (They somehow pulled off the entire move in only 4 months.) Market used to be open until 4 am Downtown, the only place open late for food. As a result, it became THE place for celebrities to grab some rockin' BBQ after a gig, going all the way back to the 40s. There are hundreds of signed celebrity photos on the walls and there are thousands more in the basement. They told me they simply don't have enough wall space to display all of them.Market BBQ is a true Twin Cities icon with incredible food.-Maxx

A little expensive. Very nice atmosphere and our server was attentive and fast. Good customer service. Decent portions, Onion ring full order was pretty decent size, crispy and good, not oily and the onion didn't come out with one bite. Ribs were great and decent portion for the 1/2 rack. Very filling. Recommend. Service and food were great.

I gave them another shot after not eating here for a year and it hasn't improved. Their food looks like dog slop. Waste of my $40...

Stopped by the Market Bar-B-Que food truck while it was parked outside the new Broken Clock Brewery. We were really hungry and we were just happy for there to be an option to eat.They had a really limited menu at their food truck and it was definitely on the pricier side. The entree options were BBQ Beef Brisket Sandwich, Pulled Pork Sandwiches, Grilled Chicken Sandwich, and Spare Ribs.The sandwiches all were $15 and came with a side of potato chips. I decided to go with brisket sandwich.I am always unsure of whether to tip in these sort of situations, but they had the screen that asks you for it so I did too. Bringing my meal to almost $20 for a sandwich and chips. The sandwich was decently sized, a good amount of brisket covered in BBQ sauce and then served on a bun. The chips were just regular old potato chips, not sure if they were made their in the truck or just from a bag. The sandwich was good, but just good I'd say. It filled me up and was what I was looking for in the moment so that was good. The chips were super okay, nothing particularly special and tasted just like bagged potato chips. Overall, I was hoping for a bit of a better sandwich and meal, or at least lower the price considering what they're offering.However, it's still a solid option. Let me just reiterate that this is for the food truck, I do not know about how the actual inside of the restaurant is like in terms of ambiance or service, or what the other options are inside.

The food is edible. It looks like a good BBQ restaurant from the outside. What I ordered left something to be desired. The cheese curds tasted as of they had been cooking in stale oil. The taste of the cheese wasn't bad but with the breading could detect something was off. The rib tips are meh. I smell smoke in the restaurant that would infer a smoker is present. The rib tips lacked a smoky flavor, and weren't seasoned sufficiently. I should add I reside in Chicago where rib tips are treated with tender loving care. While I was eating there was only 1 patron inside other than me which should have been a sign. Service was good though.

Terrible food! Dry meat, bbq sauce thick like paste, bun was smashed, baked potato was overcooked or old! I should have checked reviews before ordering with Door Dash! Do Not Recommend This Place!
