We started with the Brussels sprouts, but abandoned them mid way through. Way too heavily salted for our taste. But the wings were beautifully smoked and had a nice rub, and the brisket grilled cheese was great. I asked for and received the fatty end, and it was also well smoked-- one of the five best servings that I've had in more than two dozen Minnesota 'cue joints. We upgraded to the mac 'n cheese as the side with the sandwich-- rich and creamy white cheese, but a little bland. A little pepper did the trick. All in all, then, a good stop. We'll be back.

That is until now! And who would have thunk I'd find it in Rockford, MN?! The food is out of this world good. I had the birria tacos, which I highly recommend as well as the tres leches cake. Absolutely phenomenal. Their house margaritas are also bomb! The staff is incredibly kind and accommodating. This place will definitely be a staple eating out place for our family from now on. I'm just bummed I hadn't tried it sooner!

The captain is dead…read more The foreshadowing was there as soon as I walked in the door...from the completely missing doorhandle on the men's room...to the paper towel dispenser with a handwritten "Broken" sign on it...should have known better and just left. When you see a place in disrepair... the owners/managers/and sometimes staff are non-verbally telling you ..."We don't give a fuck about our customers." A door handle--maybe $15 at Menards and 10 minutes of time...is that too much to ask? A "broken" towel dispenser... now was it "broken" because a couple of batteries were dead inside of it? That would cost 3 or 4 bucks tops. Course if something is mechanically broken... well fellas... you can go on Angie's list and will never find a paper towel dispenser mechanic. If they are broken- you replace it. Many distributers will give you them for FREE! But why leave it on the wall? Takes you about 5 minutes to remove. But that is trivial and like I said just a clue to bigger issues within this bar/restaurant. The big issue are the flies. Not one or two...but literally HUNDREDS that buzz and disrupt your visit. Now they might try to convince you that flies just wait outside for the opportunity to get out of the hot weather and into the cool air...but that would be a lie. No...its quite OBVIOUS they have a fly infestation going on from lack of cleaning either in the kitchen or the bar. FOR THE LOVE OF CHRIST THE SERVERS WERE HANDING OUT FLYSWATTERS AND LAUGHING WHILE DOING SO! I can't even imagine how gross the matts behind the bar... in the kitchen...are. If Chef Ramsey would show up he would be yelling to "SHUT IT DOWN" moments after arriving. If Jon Taffer showed up... he would scream "YOU ARE GONNA KILL SOMEBODY." I mean if you are getting buzzed constantly by flies when you dont have food or beverage around you- whats it really like in the sludge behind the bar...the sewer pipes under the counter...and especially in the kitchen and fridges? I flat out refused to eat as this kind of infestation is so unsanitary and again shows the MANAGEMENT doesnt care about its customers. This WAS A RESPECTABLE HIGH-CLASS BAR ON THE LAKE. Now its a place to avoid unless you want to get sick. And maybe the management wants it to be more of a dive bar than upscale...and I say...if so...EMBRACE THE IDEA! Keep handing out the flyswatters--hell the heavy-set guy at the bar took down at least 50 while we were there...but make it into something fun. My suggestion is to offer discounts that are based on confirmed kills. 10 kills =10% off your bill. 20 kills--20%. Think of how much fun that would be for all...and would save you the cost of calling in an exterminator! Its a win/win situation.

10/10--I would absolutely hire Smoking J's BBQ again…read more We hired John to cater a celebration of life, and he handled the event with incredible professionalism, compassion, and attention to detail. The food was incredible, but what impressed me most was his communication from start to finish. He customized our menu, even creating two new menu items to match our preferences. Before the event, he thought through every detail--from the best location for the trailer at our park rental to the most efficient way to serve the food and even the type of plates to use. Everything ran seamlessly because of his planning. The moment that stood out most was when he noticed one of our guests of honor hadn't had a chance to eat yet and personally brought him a plate. That level of thoughtfulness says everything about the kind of person he is. John is a genuinely good human who happens to make outstanding barbecue.
