Everyone recommended this place but my husband was craving Walleye, not BBQ. He checked the menu…read moreand sure enough they had Walleye. We made it an early dinner so not too many people. We sat ourselves and the server behind the bar came around, greeted us and took our drink orders. My husband asked if he could order a Walleye filet and they accommodated; he got mashed potatoes and salad for his sides. I ordered The Mayor salad (truly enough food for two) The Walleye was cooked perfectly, and it was delicious. My husband asked for them to heat up the potatoes, unfortunately they were luke warm at best. My salad was a large salad topped with brisket, smoked turkey, bacon and a chicken wing. My husband and I split the chicken wing, it was crispy, but almost too crispy. In the fryer a bit too long. The brisket was a bit dry, but the smoked turkey was perfect. There were two hard boiled eggs, so if you are eating just protein and vegetables this is is your order. There were a lot of jalapenos on it, and lots of crisp greens. I would order it again, but most likely split it with someone. The service was great. While we were there it was getting crowded. This was the second restaurant that we went to where there was only one person taking orders. Fortunately, she had someone running the food out because she was also tending bar, along with the food runner. Although we were not neglected, it would have been better for them if there were more on staff. We'll definitely be back on our next visit.

The bar service was attentive, helpful and lovely to make small talk with while we waited for the food. The ambience was fun - great music, clean bar and they offered clever merch. The food ended up just ok. We ordered multiple pulled pork and a few beef brisket sandwiches. Corn bread, coleslaw and Mac Cheese. The meat was dry - we didn't have any sauce. The coleslaw was good. The kids liked the Mac and cheese. Overall our rating was ok and decided that eating in the restaurant is likely a better culinary experience.

The BBQ smelled great, but the food options were limited. As for the grocery side, selection was about what you'd expect in a small town--basic staples and a few local products, but not a wide variety.

I also like the Hawaiian beef sticks. The prices of brats really have gone up in price, and you must read labels as practically everything has monosodium glutinate (MSG) in it. Yuck! We like the strawberry, blueberry and apple bread by the register as its good toasted or made into French toast. They also have a location in Wadena. Disappointing as Chorizo is only in sausage link form. Most people like it bulk like hamburger.

Bottom Line: Same excellent food & customer service as when…read moreJr's No. 19 BBQ were located at Crosslake American Legion. This is the best BBQ I've found in the lake region of the north woods or anywhere else in the state for that matter. Their U.G.L.Y. Cheesecake Company desserts are not to be missed. Top Line: Dine-in dinner at Jr's "new digs" in the old Brick House Pizza building in Brainerd delivered well smoked meats, tasty sides, and wondrous desserts. Decor is tasteful and a solid step or three above most BBQ or pizza joints. Subdued color palette, spacious seating, and stone fireplace contributed to casual laid-back ambiance. Space was easily quiet enough for casual conversation, since most folks were doing take out orders & not populating the tables or booths. My dining partner had the chopstick chicken salad of romaine lettuce, Mandarin orange sections, tomatoes, walnuts, & chow mein noodles topped with lots of grilled chicken & an Asian dressing. Portion was generous, to say the least. I ordered a smoked brisket plate with a couple sides of choice (baked beans & cole slaw for me), oversized dinner bun, & their great BBQ sauce. Iced sweet tea came with refills. I split the house baked bun to make a brisket sandwich. Owner felt brisket was over cooked (which I didn't detect), so was generous to add a couple bones of their delightful pork ribs as compensation. Special cred for the puffy bun! Very light & tender interior of brioche weight, while having a toothsome texture. But the slightly crusty top and bottom easily handled my heavy handedness with BBQ sauce to keep the sandwich intact, even when drenched with the tangy slightly sweet sauce. Brisket was distinctly smoked & literally fall apart tender. Even the bark on the burnt ends parts of the portion were pliable & toothy (vs dried out & crunchy). There was plenty of brisket for the sandwich & a bit more. Ribs, plus leftover sides, came home for lunch tomorrow. Sides were solid on taste & texture. Cole slaw was crispy & well loaded with somewhat tame dressing. Bowl of beans had bits of smoked meat (brisket?) intermingled with the tasty beans. Portions of both were generous, which seems to be a repeating theme with Jr's. Dessert cheesecake was substantial while the filling had a surprisingly light texture for something with that much heft. The lightness kept it from weighing you down after a full meal. Flavor from my Caramel Chocolate Macchiato cheesecake punched well above its weight & remained impactful to the last bite. The dominant coffee flavor ran strong but didn't overwhelm the chocolate crumb crust completely. Nice balance! Their cookies at 2-for-a-buck are a "steal of the century" contender due to the very low cost for chocolate chip cookies with a butter rich & complex flavor profile that has some unusual notes coming into play. So if you're in the Brainerd area on vacation or attending a BIR event check out the gang at Jr's No. 19 BBQ at the old Brick House Pizza location for some great BBQ and cheesecake. If you're a pizza fiend or in need some baked goods, they may still be your huckleberry du jour.

We literally pulled into this wonderful place right as they were closing. We asked simply what they had left we did not expect them to make anything fresh for us at that hour... Much our surprise they had everything ready to go and we're more than happy to help us. Five stars just for that and the Survis with a smile. Now let's talk about how awesome that food was. Got the pulled pork party pack which was four sides buns and 4 pounds of pulled pork. An entire jar of their signature barbecue sauce that you get to choose from. We chose the plane as we have several Midwesterners with us who catch up seems to be a little too spicy for them :-) The end result was a delicious meal that everybody was completely satisfied with. It was fantastically delicious and can't wait to make a midnight sandwich with all the leftovers we have. Fantastic staff, fantastic food and the service was above and beyond. Thank you so much for saving dinner on a holiday weekend. Eternally grateful and so thankful we found you.
