Great food, great service, there's not much I would change! Mr. Pig Stuff recently moved into a new location and I have to begin by saying, their new space is beautiful. It's gives off a modern whiskey house/southern rustic vibe. Plenty of indoor seating and a cute patio with an indoor/outdoor bar top. I have eaten here 3 times in the past few months and my experience has been the same each time, wonderful! My two favorite meals are the Smoked Chicken Wings and The Pile sandwich. The chicken wings: I'm the type to always sauce up any wing I get. Pig Stuff's wings will come out dry rubbed with your sauce in the side. At first I was hesitant but now I know why! Their dry rub is fantastic! The flavors are Smokey, savory, and salty - easily eaten on their own. The meat is very juicy and falls off of the bone! (8.5/10) The Pile: this is a sandwich consisting of brisket, pulled pork, Mac & cheese, and coleslaw. It's a monster of a sandwich and could definitely make a mess but OMG it is tasty! The sandwich comes with BQQ sauce, but who needs it when you have the juiciness of the pork, smokiness of the brisket, creaminess of the Mac & cheese, and the tang of coleslaw! It's almost hard not to finish this sandwich. (9/10) Another favorite are their fries. Fresh, crispy, and well seasoned. You can also get them as garlic parm fries where they drizzle their wing sauce across the top - YUM. (8/10) Lastly, the service here has always been impeccable. You're greeted with a smile by everyone. I have yet to meet a server or bartender that wasnt engaging. Looking forward to coming back around! read more

Visited for a late afternoon lunch on a Saturday. The whole area seems pretty new and being built up to serve the amphitheater crowd. When we stopped in there were a few people but lots of open spots. We ordered the queso and cracklins and split a two meet sampler. The queso had a bit of a kick. The sampler we got was brisket and ribs. Both meats were good and well flavored. Sides were beans and mashed potatoes. Beans seemed a little undercooked but mashed potatoes were great. There were two bbq sauces on the table and one was pretty mild and sweet but was very tomato forward and reminded me of more like a flavored ketchup. The spicy one was better but not something I'd choose. Meats were better without the sauce in my opinion. Service was fine- nothing great but nothing to complain about. If we are in the area and in the mood for bbq again, we'd probably give it another try. read more

BBQ isn't everyone's thing but there's really something for everyone on this menu. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable on allergens and made for an awesome experience! The vibe inside transitions from lively and family to moody and date-night based on the day. Their takeout packages make hosting easy & are super affordable as well! read more

I've been eager to try Mr Pig Stuff out since their sign went up several months ago. After an afternoon workout I walked in and ordered some takeout to bring home. The inside has a rustic, cowboy-ish feel. Imagine a fancy modernized BBQ joint in Montana or Utah, that's the feel. I ordered the brisket plate with a side of baked beans. The brisket is luscious and melts in your mouth, however, it was missing that deep rich flavor that I'm accustomed to when I order brisket. It was still delicious, the spicy BBQ sauce added some much appreciated kick as well. The baked beans were the best part in my opinion; sweet, rich and full of flavor. The cornbread muffin was nothing to write home about, but it came free with the dish. Excited to go back and try something else! read more

So I have been to KC and Texas and have had the best BBQ in the country. I found myself in a town on the outskirts of Minneapolis and decided to get some BBQ. First of all, the smell drew me in. I got Brisket, St Louis Ribs and Cole slaw. It was every bit as good as anything I have had in those " hot bed" for BBQ areas, at a much better price. This place is Amazing!!!! If you have a chance to go here, you will not be disappointed!!!! read more

If you like brisket, fries, beans and some sass with your drink -- while eating at the bar, this place is 5 stars. The food is really good. The bar service is great and the sass - well, that's either great...or awkward...depending on your mood. The ambience isn't anything special and it feels more like a Wisconsion banquet hall than a restaurant, but you probably won't need to wait for seating and the food is really good. I've been there a couple times and left satisfied each time. read more

Delicious fresh filling tasty worth every penny! Stop in and enjoy your favorite bbq!

Fantastic service and wonderful food. Mr Pig Stuff is our favorite BBQ restaurant!!! Don't hesitate to visit this restaurant! You will not be disappointed!!!!! read more

About as good as you're going to get in Shakopee. I ordered a plated dinner, which included the following: Two meat choices, two side dishes, and a corn muffin. I selected the brisket and pulled pork for my meats and hand-cut fries and coleslaw for my side dishes. They also have a large variety of BBQ sauces from across the country for your meat--a taste for everyone. The hand-cut fries were absolutely delicious. Perfect balance of texture and seasoning. The coleslaw comes in long shreds. Taste was decent, but I'm partial to KFC-style slaw. You are served a very generous portion of both. The brisket was fork tender and paired well with the spicy BBQ sauce. The sauce left a nice burn. Great amount of smoke taste. The pulled pork had some larger chunks left over. This paired well with the Carolina style sauce. My server was great and checked in regularly; he also made sure I had enough iced tea to get me through my meal. They also serve you a large bottle of water. I love when places do that. Two minor suggestions for improvement: Have all the sauces available at the table and whip the honey butter. It is served rather cold and therefore hard to spread. read more

Stopped in after running some errands with my dad. I'm a KCBS certified BBQ judge, so I'm pretty picky when it comes to smoked meats. IT was the middle of the afternoon so we were the only ones there. WE ordered some tea and a sampler platter. First, our server was so nice. Super well informed about the menu, gave us a sampling of all the sauces, checked in to make sure we were enjoying everything. Then there was the meats. Every single one of them was good. Smoked wings, brisket (not too fatty) pulled pork (not too mushy). Everything had great texture and smoke flavor. Felt 100% safe with social distancing, sanitizing, etc. Really recommend this place, whether its eat in or take out. read more

Mr Pig Stuff - the menu for mr pig stuff - Caterers Near Me - Shakopee, Minnesota

Qualifications: I grew up in the south and spent more than a decade living in Texas as an adult. I have no idea now to make great BBQ, but I've spent a lot of time eating great BBQ and have a fair idea of what makes a great BBQ place. Verdict: This is a good enough BBQ place. It's better than average. Nobody is going to line up for an hour like you have to for a great place in Texas (much less wait 4+ hours like you can at the most famous places), but it does the job. You will like this if: You are craving BBQ that is better than average with good sides. You will dislike this if: You are looking for Texas style brisket or pork like you might find in Memphis or the Carolinas. You're looking for an order at the counter and watch your meat get cut on the block type place. Details: #1: Ribs - A proper rib, in my opinion, should require a little pull to come off the bone. This isn't that. But they taste really good. If you were just out for a good plate of ribs, this place does a good job. #2: Brisket - The brisket is fine. It's definitely not Texas brisket. It doesn't have dark, seasoned bark. It's not smoky. It's not served in a half inch thick slab. But it does have a hint of smoke and it's definitely not dry or rubbery. Firebox Deli has the best brisket that I've tried in Minnesota. This is closer to the beef you'd get in someplace like Kansas City. #3: Slop Buckets - I like when places have at least one item that is unconventional. You can find a BBQ Sloppy Joe at a lot of places in the south and this is pretty similar. It's pork, beef, and sausage all in a tangy sauce with some fried onions. It's great. The Line: There was no line because this is a waiter service place. You can call ahead for takeout or place an order 30 minutes in advance on the internets. The Rest: They definitely have some thoughtful side items. The fries were great and seemed to be fresh cut. The sauces were a little thick, but interesting. Bread at a lot of places isn't great, but they had good corn muffins with a side of a sweetened butter. Everyone has personal preferences. My ideal BBQ place is a mix of no frills, old school roadside joint that been updated with innovative sides and some interesting specials. In a perfect world, every BBQ place would have a spicy sausage option and cobbler. This place is a solid B+. Even if the meat isn't outstanding, it's really good, and they've put some thought and effort in to their sides. If you're within 20 minutes, it's worth a trip. read more

I just have to compliment Mr. Pig Stuff and the staff. We had an absolutely fabulous meal. Very great portions and prices. Our server actually memorized our entire order (party of 4)! Best service I've had all year. We will definitely be back! read more

I got married on June 19th, 2021, at The Capitol Room in St.Peter, Minnesota. I cant even type out how amazing our experience was with Mr. Pig Stuff. Kip and his team were SO AMAZING amazing, professional, and helpful. They made our wedding day SO SO SO perfect. Plus can we talk about how yummy the food was? We STILL get compliments on how good the food was and how it was not your average wedding food. From the open house we went to with them there, our food tasting (seriously so yummy and it was SO fun), to the day of our wedding... I couldn't imagine our day without Mr.Pig Stuff and their team. It was hands down one of our TOP vendors we had at our wedding and could not recommend them enough. On top of all of it compared to other vendors they are SO much more affordable. I have been to other weddings they have catered and its always my fave wedding food. HIGHLY recommend. Thank you again for everything. read more

The best BBQ in town! I've known of Mr. Pig as they are a great customer of mine. Never tried their food until tonight. I saw their promo a few days ago on Twin Cities Live and was impressed with their presentation of their "pile sandwich." Couldn't stop thinking about it for days. I've seen pulled pork sandwiches with slaw, but Mac and cheese and beef brisket? Made a stop with the family for dinner. Ordered the pile sandwich and was not disappointed. It lived up to the expectation! Savory sweet and spicy, Smokey, Gooey, and crunchy, all in one bite. Seems too good to be true, I thought so too! The meats were smoked, lean, and extremely tender. The fresh cut fries were delish! Already thinking when I will be back. Kip was outstanding at taking care of us and making sure we were happy. read more

Mr Pig Stuff - The Pile Sandwich. Amazing flavor explosion! - Caterers Near Me - Shakopee, Minnesota

I ordered the "pig out" for my family of 6, for pick up. I received excellent service over the phone. The portions were huge & there was something for everyone to pick from. The meat selection was great & their sides (baked beans, potato salad & Mac cheese) was a big hit! Great BBQ spot south of the river! read more

My favorite bbq joint! I've tried the platters and sandwiches. The pile is my favorite. It's a layered yummy mess of pulled pork, brisket, Mac and cheese with slaw on top! So amazing. They also have the best fries ever. My husband loves the ribs and jalapeño slaw. You can't go wrong with whatever you order. They also have a great beer selection. The decor is cute and the service is great! The prices are awesome too, not over priced compared to some places. read more

Mr Pig Stuff - My husband enjoying his favs! - Caterers Near Me - Shakopee, Minnesota

My mom and I were headed down to Shakopee to Mystic lake to see Willie Nelson perform. so I looked up BBQ in Shakopee on Yelp and Mr Pig Stuff showed up. Score. I read the reviews and I knew the Pile would be my sandwich of choice, but I knew it would be too large for one person and my mother was a willing partner to share it with. I ordered a Diet Coke to wash the meal down as we sat at one of the tables with good views of the TVs. The sandwich is massive with Layered with Beef Brisket, mac and cheese, Pulled Pork, and coleslaw. It was delish! Super juicy brisket and pork and the mac and cheese was good, but kind of got lost in all the juiciness of the meat. I did like the pickle slices and the addition of the coleslaw. I had to eat mine with a fork, it is just to sloppy to eat as a sandwich, but it was all good! The bun was tasty and buttered and warmed to perfection, gotta love a good kaiser roll! I would definitely go back, It was pretty reasonable as far as price was too. They didn't have good draft beer which kind of sucked. Willie played awesome too! read more

Mr Pig Stuff - My mom and I will split the pile - Caterers Near Me - Shakopee, Minnesota

Easily the best pulled pork and ribs I have ever had. I say this even after trying some of the best in St. Louis. Get the 4 meet platter for $25 and share with a family of 4. Great price for how much food you get. I heard that their burgers are amazing as well. I will be trying the burger the next time I am there! Nothing beats amazing barbecue with a tall surly furious! read more

Holy Cow, can we give a place 10 stars? Because if so, Mr. Pig Stuff gets every single one. Food and service are outstanding. If you are craving smoky delicious BBQ, then this is the place you want to travel to. I used to live in St. Paul and I would gladly drive all the way from the Eastside to here because it is that good (now I live closer but it doesn't matter, I'm going anyways). The portions are huge, the price is amazing when you compare it to what you get (seriously we got two lunches and dinner out of our two entrees), and the service is genuine and you can see the pride they have in their restaurant. I hired Mr. Pigstuff in June for a catering gig and they were phenomenal. Not just whimsy picnic catering, we are talking whole hog roasting bonanza. I still have people come up to me and tell me how good the food was. So we decided to stop by and see if their restaurant can compete with their catering, and YES it can. I ordered their famous "Pile," a sandwich consisting of sweet bread, pulled pork, brisket, housemade Mac and Cheese topped with coleslaw and Kentucky Bourbon BBQ. If you just basically had a food orgasm, I wouldn't blame you. It is as good as it sounds. Yes, it is loaded with calories, but all BBQ is baby! My wife ordered the 2 meat plate and we basically got a meal that served the both of us. She got the pulled pork (seriously it is out-of-this-world good) and their meat hash: Slop Bucket (a mixture of brisket, sausage, pork, and BBQ sauce). We also tried their Mac and Cheese, Au Gratin Potatoes, and the cornbread. The meat was hands down delicious, all of it was great. Mac and Cheese was creamy and cheesy, exactly how it should be. The Au Gratin was very interesting but was very good. It had powerful garlic and pepper flavors with a consistency of Au Grating and mashed potatoes. And of course, it was covered in cheese! The corn bread muffins are great, right on par with Famous Dave's famous corn bread muffins (but at least Mr. Pigstuff didn't sell out so that their food could become utter crap). With such good luck, we tried some of their ribs just for fun. Fall off the bone tender and delicious. My wife never really likes ribs, but she fought me for the rack because they were that good. Even my baby daughter who isn't a fan of meat right now wouldn't stop eating them. To confirm my good review, we sat next to a table from Colorado who were vacationing in the Shakopee area. They told the manager that they were up for a few weeks and that this was the 2nd time they had been to the place because they loved it that much. The hinted they might come back for a 3rd time before they left. Seriously, it is worth the drive because you won't find better BBQ in the metro area (maybe even the state??) read more

A lot of places other than this have been getting it all wrong. read more

Best BBQ in metro area! We got take out that took 35 mins beyond when they said it would be ready which is a really long time and the only reason this isnt a 5 star review. The staff was very apologetic and are probably experiencing staffing issues so I'm not really holding it against them that much. Really good flavor, not overly smoky, and great sides! read more

My name is will i am.....i am writing this review as a ghost after dying from old age waiting for my food to come out. The venue was probably at 1/4 capacity when we came in on a lazy Saturday afternoon. Waited 50 mins for "st Louis ribs" that were smokey and soft but dry. And please, these ribs do not hold a candle to real kansa city bbq. Bbq chicken that barely made the cut. There is no excuse for waiting that long.....i noticed it was not only our table, but every other table had waited similar times. Heard that the jalapeño corn bread was "to die for." Received regular dry corn bread with cinnamon butter in the side. Thoroughly unimpressed. If you like about an hour wait time to dine in a mediocre bbq joint, by all means. read more

Great food! Wish I knew where their new location is going to be! Best place to go for some good BBQ!

We were surprised how delicious everything were. First, they have no table available so we seated on the bar. The bartender was very nice as everyone else there. We had the planter sample that came with ribs, pulled pork, brisket, 2 corn bread and two small sides of choice. Also we ordered the wings that were very, very tasty too. The meats were just made the way should be, very flavorful and tender . We have been many barbecue places in MN and the big majority is just flavorless. We will be back many times for sure. Ps. Normally we would take some pictures, but the smell of the food were so good that we had to eat fast. read more

Our fellowship offered to pay for my husband and my meals. They told us to meet them at Mr Pig Stuff. First off, it took over an hour for us to receive our meals. Then it went downhill from there. I ordered their Baby Back Ribs. They were extremely dark. I couldn't believe how dry they were and super salty. I could not eat them. The barbecue sauce tasted like vinegar. My side dishes were french fries and macaroni and cheese. I like the flavor of the macaroni and cheese, but the macaroni wasn't fully cooked. The french fries were crisp but some tasted to be a bit burned. The only thing I really enjoyed was the corn muffin. The butter was flavored with something sweet. It was pretty good also. The waiters and waitresses seemed to be run off their feet. I think they might need more help. Summing this review up. Waited ages for food, food itself was undesirable and the service was not the best. I will never go back to Mr Pig Stuff again. read more

Don't sleep on this legit BBQ spot. Do you like bourbon and BBQ? If you answered yes to one of those items, then you need to check this place out. Great food. We had the brisket and ribs. Not disappointed in either selection. Great selection of top shelf bourbons.I would've given it 5 stars but I thought the Mac n cheese lacked a little flavor. The sauces were great. Good mix of 5-6 sauces and I found 2 I really liked. read more

The ribs where fall off the bone and rich in flavor. The pulled pork was awesome. Definitely would return to again.

Love the Kentucky bbq sauce. I'm SUPER picky with meat. Their pulled pork is bomb! My spouse loves their everything, lol. His favorites are the brisket and ribs. Thank you Mr Pig Stuff! read more

As if this area needed another BBQ joint, but holy smokes...that Beef Brisket is tender, juicy, and with the addition of some Hot Sauce...so delicious. I believe this place trumps Bakers Ribs up the hill in Eden Prairie. There is no inside dining....this place is simply grab and go, or eat at the patio tables nearby along the building. For my first visit, I ordered the Beef Brisket regular (they have large sizes if you're super starving), with a side of Baked Beans and coleslaw. This is pretty much my litmus test when checking out BBQ joints for the first time. the sandwich was amazing, and the beans were the perfect match of sweetness and hotness with a large portion of meat in the middle. The slaw? Creamy, creamy, creamy. I have a new favorite BBQ joint to visit on my lunch hour now....and this may be worth a special trip to Shakopee should you live in another area and are looking for some good eatin'. read more

Ordered the lil pig which consists of a half chicken, half slab of ribs, pile of pulled pork, beans, coleslaw and cornbread. It was for 4 of us and was plenty, everything was great, however half of us thought the rib were too fatty or chewy. Beans took the prize for the best on the menu, they were awesome even for someone who isn't a big beans eater. The chicken was very moist and juicy, pulled pork had a lot of flavor. Good BBQ sauce too which I feel is rare even at a BBQ restaurant. Also ordered the pile, could not resist a pork Sammy with Mac and cheese on it. Loved the Mac and cheese, really complimented the pork well. Extremely messy, you can try and pick it up but it's going to get everywhere, you will be forking part of it. I will be back to try the pig wings out. read more

Great BBQ in Shakopee! Went for lunch and ordered an eight pig wings basket to warm up with. Basically a rib tip, these things were tender, tender, tender! Freaking awesome appetizer. From there, I had the one meat entree of beef brisket. Huge portion of juicy brisket, large portions of sides (fries and coleslaw). My wife got the pull pork sandwich and could not finish it. The BBQ sauce at the table is a sweet vinegar-based sauce that I wasn't fond of. No problem, I just asked for a spicier sauce and the staff gave me two to try out. Both were very tasty and quite spicy. Service is fast and friendly. The one thing I'd like to see them improve on is the overall smoke of the meats. It's too faint. I expect this to improve as they get their smoking mojo on. Overall, a great addition to Shakopee's restaurant landscape. Conveniently located on Highway 101 right next to Dangerfield's. This place is going to make a killing in the summer with Valley Fair and Canterbury Downs in close proximity. Definitely coming back to this place. A big hit in my book. read more

I love local bbq joints as the only thing that makes me happy to be at a chain one is the bread pudding at Famous Daves. Entering the restaurant you see the giant smoker on your left (a very welcome site ) and then venture up to the counter. This was where I started getting a bad feeling about this place. Menus were laying on almost the entire counter, and also didn't seem too clean. Ordering is Famous Daves style where after you place your order they give you a number. The waitress taking my order was really nice. I had ordered a combo platter and a soda. Soda station was self serve and for some reason the flooring seemed kinda slick, but not sure if that was my shoes. The combination platter came with pulled pork, ribs, cornbread, and brisket along with 2 sides ( I chose mac and cheese and coselaw ). The pork was pretty dry and flavorless. The ribs were pretty tough and overcooked. To top it off, the brisket was extremely salty. I didn't finish my meal, not even half. The mac and cheese was decent though. Ultimately I wouldn't recommend this place and won't be returning. This place seems to have many good reviews, but I unfortunately didn't have that memorable of an experience. read more

We've ordered Mr. Pig Stuff twice now, and I can honestly say this is some incredible BBQ! Both times we've gotten the family pack, which comes with your choice of two pounds of meat, three sides, buns and as many BBQ sauces as you want. The best part? It's such a good deal! I think we paid $45 for the family pack, which is an amazing deal. For just my husband and I, it was more than enough food with leftovers for the next day. If you love BBQ, venture to Shakopee and get some Mr. Pig Stuff BBQ -- you won't regret it! read more
