Made reservations after my boss suggested they were necessary (tiny town, lack of choices). Showed up and our "reserved" table was where the kitchen and bar met; very loud and hectic. LOTS of empty tables when we arrived at 4:45 p.m., but we still got sat in an undesirable area. App of cheese curds. Meals were Hilltop Melt, country style pork ribs and king prime rib. The cheapest meal was happiest with their food: Hilltop Melt with Sweet Potato fries. My mother found that the pork ribs were dry and bland (and I did try them and they were indeed bland and the only flavor came from the BBQ sauce). Don't brag that your boneless, country style pork ribs are cooked for 18 hours, when the result is dry and bland. My king prime rib was served later so the hashbrowns could cook, according to the waitress, yet the hashbrowns that my mom and I both had were okay on the outer edges, but not warm/cooked on the inside. The prime rib had decent flavor, but it was tough and required a lot of sawing through with a steak knife. The best part of the visit was our waitress Hannah; food was mediocre.

I've been here a couple of times and would not recommend. Very poor service. Understaffed and generally slow slow service.

When it comes to bbq, I am most definitely a traditionalist. Well every rule has it's exception and…read moreYah Butz is one of those exceptions. Yah Butz has been around for a number of years as some friends of ours gave us a couple of bottles of their bbq sauce a few years ago which we really enjoyed. We were back in the area again and our friends and picked up some of their que for dinner. Yah Butz is all prepared and packaged to go. There is not an option to eat at their location which is fine. They are located in lake country so it's a perfect meal to make at your cabin or home. This day we had ribs and brisket. Being somewhat of an aficionado, I believe I know good bbq. We heated up our meats and enjoyed a great meal. The ribs are falling off the bone tender. Usually a sign that the ribs were steamed, baked or even boiled. Against what I would normally believe. The ribs also were sauced where again I usually prefer my ribs naked. Well none of that mattered today as the ribs were meaty and delicious. I actually overate as they were kind of addictive. The brisket was also very good. Sliced a bit thinner than I prefer however after having a couple of bites, I went back for a couple more slices. This is darn good que. On our way out of town we stopped in to pick up some brisket and sauce to bring home with us since we may only get up this way once a year. Yah Butz is a small shop in town but they make some darn good que at an affordable price and we love that sauce!

Drove from Minneapolis to get my bbq sauce fix! With the drive any day! They a handful of sauces we…read morelike the original, best bbq to be found! I don't like things to spicy, and the original is just right for me, sweet and Smokey and just all around a great sauce
