With a big welcoming smile we joked that we were looking for his restaurant that maps led us to. At this point it's only a food truck, although he has hopes for reopening sometime. He was smoking brisket for the New Ulm brewery that day, but he gave us a sample anyway. Oh goodness, Mr. Cherry knows what he's doing. If you get a chance to catch him, don't miss the opportunity. And if anyone in the area could help underwrite his efforts to opening his restaurant again I hope they will take a chance on him!

Nice little updated venue in St. Peter. Tons of natural light and a pretty solid atmosphere overall…read moreduring lunch. Service was pretty good overall. Nothing real over the top, but nothing that came up short either. Food-wise, the burnt ends were not very good (overly hard and chewy) and had me a little worried about what might come next. The fish & chips was also not a great one as the fish was a bit soggy and way too fishy. Luckily, the brisket plate was a very solid dish. Tender meat, the cornbread was great, the beans were AMAZING, and their BBQ sauces all pretty solid. I'd say this is a 3.5 star review overall, but the brisket plate with the sides are worth it. Just be cautious about what else you order.

The server was welcoming and had great suggestions. My husband, a Reuben enthusiast, had what he is calling The Best Reuben ever. The corned beef was smoked, which makes it extra good. I had the Cobb salad, which sounds kind of boring, but I added smoked pulled chicken and some of their homemade Bleu cheese dressing. It was so good. The best of all: those fresh cut and perfectly seasoned fries! We don't go that way often, but if we ever do, we will be building in a stop at Third Street Tavern for sure!

We tried the poutine and a barbecue platter to share. Both were good and I loved the juicy BBQ chicken, but the poutine was notable because there was tons of beef as well as the gravy, cheese curds and all on top of really good fries. Our food came out super fast and hot, and my glass of House Cabernet for eight dollars was a generous poor and a nice wine. There's plenty of street parking in the blocks around this area, and there is a cute bookstore as well as a sustainable goods shop that you should definitely check out across the street. I would love to come back here again!

I would highly recommend this place to anyone craving solid BBQ in the twin cities.

They served mostly traditional BBQ options from platters to tacos to sandwiches. The food was ready promptly and the service at the counter was friendly. I went with the two meat platter ($18). It came with two meats, a side, and a drink. I opted for the brisket and pulled pork as well as a side of corn. I also choose their original BBQ sauce. This was average at best. Both meats were a little dry, so the sauce needed to be added. The sauce was alright, a little smoky as well as sweet, but nothing great. The corn was fine as well. Will I go back? Probably not.

IDEA......They should offer the chips(home made 5) and 3 sample cups of bbq sauce THEIR choice to try them While waiting for their meal(like Plaza does w chips n salsa) and u would sell more bbq sauce.. btw Carolina Gold wow top notch was rockin(lil zip but sweet honey mustard flavor) Sweet n vinegar(not sweet but very vinegary) there was one that tasted like Hot sauce n red hot tgether My friend loved it.....I like that they came dwn in his prices and gives u choices that YOU want instead of having a set menu. Gouda Mac n cheese good when hot but as it cools could use some creamy element, Potato wedges although they look like fries WOW Really good. Ribs(5) are very fall aprt tender.. rib tips eh lil dry for my taste but friend loved them. Corn bread was a tad dry but good(thought they said it was smoked didnt taste like it) The Ribs were the of the show. $20 for 2 meats, 2 sides and A pop/soda( Off brands but very good) . Sweet Tea was offered but tasted old(No water knob if u wanna drink water) Ok Decor... Bathroom Truly needs some brighter colors, lotions n sprays cute idea..Maybe put them near the sink after u wash ur hands away from someone coming out of the stall mite grab them ew.. Please get a Tp holder for toilet paper lord knows whose hands have been on the roll N handicap bar The restaraunt could use Sky lights or brighter colors to brighten it up so it dnt look so dark cave like. If this is a Silverback smoking place Mite i suggest Some Old N New pics of You or Someone Smoking meats at home at old fairs..that be amazing customers would love to look around at them and Maybe some Silverback Apes as well.

We had reservations and were seated immediately. I chose the spare ribs for my dinner and Husband had the pulled pork sandwich. The ribs were served with a zesty dry rub and sauce on the side. They were nice and tender. The meal came with Texas toast which I didn't try because the ribs were sitting right on top of it. It also had a piece of corn on the cob. Wish my meal would have been a titch hotter in temp but the food was tasty. We finished with the smoky crème brûlée which was delicious. The layout was cozy and dark with the bar at the center.

I gotta stop believing yelp reviews. People want quantity over quality on this app and this place…read moreis a great example of that. There's nothing redeeming about this place. Yelp reviewers have no taste. They just want a slab of meat and they're all happy. I should've tried their sauces before I bought anything. The barbecue sauces were all ketchup based. They added in too much apple cider vinegar and the sauces were too viscous and runny. A good barbecue sauce has molasses, brown sugar, and tomato sauce not ketchup and white sugar which is what these were made from. I'd have been better off bringing in my own bottle of barbecue sauce from the grocery store. We ordered a half rack 6 ribs and two sides of coleslaw and potato salad. The coleslaw was runny and too liquidy. It had zero buttermilk in it. It was also made with apple cider vinegar which is a HUGE NO, NO. The potato salad was meh. No mustard. Just white potato salad. THEY HAD NO CORNBREAD! How much does a box of jiffy cornbread cost?!? Seriously, this business should NOT be in the rib business. The half rack of ribs: DRY, DRY, DRY. They were baked way too long. The ribs were flavor-less. I would not go back again. It's a huge shame for a rib joint to be this bad. The ribs were such a huge disappointment. Not even a smoked flavor was ever detected. I hope they don't go down the liquid smoke route either because that's just driving off a cliff at that point. I'm DONE listening to yelp reviews. Yall have no clue what you're talking about.
