Our server was amazing! Great suggestions from Jeff. We had the smoked turkey with beans, and the pork grilled cheese. Best bbq we have had in a long time. We will absolutely be back read more

I do like bbq and ordered three bone ribs. Ample parking. Big liquor menu. They have zero sugar cocktails "Carbliss" vodka cocktail good for keto. You get 1 side and corn muffin and can order many varieties from greens, Mac and cheese, and many more. Had reservation got seated early in four top with view out window. They do have booths. They were giving free beer samples from a company. I took . Very good. Had coleslaw,, greens and generous portions Wide variety of menu items . They gave chicken too! I like my ribs crispier but they tasted good and fall off the bone. They bring sauces and a great variety. Service very good and good came fast. Dark moody atmosphere very nice. Host was on the phone when we arrived and we had to wait a few minutes for her to get off. The seater just stood there waiting for her direction so cross training would be good so the guest does not wait. The booth opposite our table full of supplies And promo stuff and their mail. Tacky. Prices reasonable extra dudes alacarte Al in all ok meal but not on my have to go there again. Big cloth napkins nice. read more

My boyfriend and I were on the hunt for some great BBQ and unfortunately, we are still on the hunt... This place is located in Shakopee and is next to Canterbury Downs (horse race track) and an amphitheater. It shares a smaller lot with other businesses, so parking can be a bit tricky. We were greeted by a friendly host and she immediately sat us. The waitress/bartender came over right away with water and asked if we wanted anything else. We said we would take a look at the menu. The drink menu however was blank... like nothing inside. When we alerted the waitress she laughed and said "oh well that's not great." But didn't do anything to fix it. We originally said we were going to stick with water but the water was gross! So we ordered sodas instead. The decor here is cute and it appeared to be clean/well taken care of. There are a lot of seating options between booth, high top and low top as well. They also have a fair amount of big screens and pull tabs. This place also smelled amazing but the food just did not capture that. We started with the smoked wings and got the sauces on the side. My boyfriend really liked them. I felt they were just ok. They were moist and a decent sized wing, but lacking any real smoke flavor. The garlic parm sauce was our fav and the ranch here is solid. We got the little pig. Another person noted "bland" and unfortunately we agree. There was absolutely no flavor the any of the meats! This place has the word "smokery" in it, and yet no smokiness at all. The other strange part was the texture. The pork and ribs were both mushy... my boyfriend said it was giving, "reheated" vibes. I don't know if that's true, but I've never had meat have a texture like that. The brisket in my opinion was actually decent. Though I wish it had more flavor, the texture was pretty good. The corn bread muffins were excellent and the sweet potato fries were also good. This place relies heavily on you putting lots of sauce on the meat, that's where the flavor comes in. I didn't care for the sauces very much either though. Unfortunately this was a let down. When you spend over $100 for food, you are expecting a quality experience. We will not be back. read more

I have been wanting to try this place since I heard they opened. I went tonight with my son because we both love BBQ. We each got a two meat combo plate. He got one that was pulled pork and brisket with sweet potato fries. I got pork ribs and brisket with Mac and cheese. We also ordered two jalapeño cheddar sausage links to share. We also ordered smoked chicken wings in buffalo sauce for an appetizer. The wing are awesome they had just enough smoke and crisp to make them very flavorful and the right amount of sauce. The brisket was great. I think the slices were from where the the flat and point meet. The ribs were seasoned well and had a good smoke ring. The only thing I might say was lacking for me is they were fall off the bone. I like mine to have a little tug to where I can take a bite and the meat doesn't all come away. The Mac and cheese for me was missing something maybe a little smoke or garlic. My son said the pulled pork was a little too chewy and the fat really hadn't melted into the meat. He was surprised to taste the brown sugar on the sweet potato fries which he said were ok. The jalapeño and cheddar sausage was good and it was cooked with just the right amount of snap to the casing. They had some good side options like coleslaw, mashed potatoes, regular and sweet potato fries, Mac and cheese and baked beans also. I would have liked to been able to order potato salad but not a deal breaker. Maybe another sausage option is like a Texas style hot link. Our server Nic S. was awesome always checking in and making sure that food was good and if we needed anything. We went on a Wednesday night and it was pretty busy. We came towards the end of happy hour also. The parking lot is shared by two other popular restaurants so parking was a little difficult but not bad. They could not use more spots as all three looked busy. The noise was normal and the decor was nice. Will definitely be back. read more

I recently came to Mr. pigs with a friend and had a good time. We came on a Monday around 7 PM and did not have to wait. We got to sit on the patio. I don't wanna call our server's name but she was awesome super attentive very helpful with recommendations very friendly. We ended up sharing the meat combo platter which came with 3 ribs, brisket, pulled pork, one corn muffin with butter and your choice of one side (we got sweet potato fries) and we both got a bev. I chose the smoked bloody mary, which came with a mini beer chaser which was awesome. The pulled pork, brisket, and ribs were very tasty, not crazy expensive but not crazy cheap either. Overall I would recommend! read more

Went Super bowl Sunday! They have all day Happy Hour Sundays - keep that in mind. Restaurant wasn't busy at all since it was SB. We walked in and were able to seat ourselves. We were clearly looking at the HH menu when we ordered the majority of our items. Got drinks and I got wings, fries and corn bread. Cornbread was hard. Fries were a bit soggy but overall okay. I asked if the wings were seasoned at all (I know they are smoked and that gives it flavor), I was told yes but they were pretty bland. My friend ordered a brisket and rib platter, she said the brisket was dry and falling apart but the ribs were really good. We both didn't care for bbq sauces. She also ordered hush puppies which she said were fine. The hush puppies and wings are both on the HH menu... when we got the bill we noticed we were charged full price and questioned it. We were told the hh versions come with less. The wings w/ 4 wings and Hush puppies w/ 3. I ate 3 wings and my friend only finished 1 hush puppy so that would have been ideal servings anyways. I give service 1.5/5 stars just for her not clarifying that when we ordered. Felt like they were anti HH promotions to make up for slow sales. So if you dine during HH - make sure you let them know. read more

My father-in-law drove past this new Shakopee district and talked us in to trying Mr Pigs Smokery. We don't live in the area (about 50 mins away), but I'm so glad we did! It happened to be Super bowl Sunday, but early in the afternoon, and Mr Pigs was fairly busy. We were seated quickly and asked for our preference in table (high top versus standard table), which we appreciated. Our waitress stopped by quickly. I did notice they had all day Happy Hour and wish she would have expanded on the specials, particularity around food, if they had some. I will admit, she wasn't the most friendly, but she was attentive and she filled our order accurately! The cute lil' pigs sprinkled throughout the restaurant is SO cute. Three of four of us got the two meat platter, a mix of ribs, pulled pork and brisket. We were very pleased with the temperature of our food, the speed in which we received it, and the overall portion size (plenty to take home!) My father in law tried a full rack of ribs and took a good portion home. We also tried a variety of sides. Crowd pleaser and the single most reason for my return... the cornbread AND homemade honey butter. OMG. Soooo good! I asked for two additional muffins to take home with me and I enjoyed them THAT evening! No shame in my game. The only other bummer, IMO, was the water. It was absolutely disgusting, even with lemon....not drinkable. I wasn't the only person who thought this at our table. Can't wait to stop by Mr. Pigs Smokery, again. read more

Stopped at Mr. Pig's Smokery and thought it was just okay overall--not bad, but not the best BBQ I've had in Minnesota. I ordered the combo platter to try a few things. The ribs were probably the best part--good bark and the meat came off the bone easily. The pulled pork was moist, but a little softer than I personally prefer. The brisket was hit or miss for me. I don't like fatty pieces, so I only ended up enjoying one slice. For sides, I got beans, mac and cheese, and mashed potatoes. The beans were good, and the mashed potatoes were solid with no complaints. The mac and cheese, though, needs some work--it was pretty bland and the noodles were too soft. The cornbread muffins were actually a standout--they had a nice sweetness and were really enjoyable. I also tried a Kansas-style BBQ sauce that was much better than the ones on the table. The vinegar-based sauce wasn't for me. The decor is nice and inviting, with some fun details like twinkle lights in the center of the restaurant, and the bar area looks really good. Our server was good and was attentive to any needs. Overall, I'd maybe come back and try something different, but as it stands, it's just okay. There's better BBQ out there. read more

This is bbq heaven! First...you need to know I'm a bbq snob. I'm very picky about flavors, tenderness, smokiness, etc. Mr Pigs delivers! We had ribs, pulled pork, brisket, and sausage. All of it was delicious! The brisket was extraordinarily tender. The sausage had a delicious kick to it and was juicy. The pulled pork had a wonderful smokiness to it and didn't need any bbq sauce. The restaurant itself is very clean and everyone was very friendly. Oh...and the Diet Coke was great! We will be back! Chef's kiss! read more

What a fantastic barbecue joint nestled in the redevelopment of Shakopee! what used to be in old Chaska has now transitioned over to the new area closer to the Mystic Lake amphitheater with a revamped style, but still lots of old traditional recipes that made Mr. pigs who they are still today.The barbecue here is fantastic. Absolutely love the brisket.-it was juicy tender, just what you would hope for in brisket. I appreciate that they gave you different variety of sauces to choose from. I personally loved the mild, although the Kentucky bourbon had that sweet molasses flavor that you hoped for in a well-balanced barbecue sauce. I am the biggest critic when it comes to coleslaw, and Mr. pigs has the right balance of tangy, sweet, creamy without overdoing it. Each by the coleslaw is crunchy and flavorful and I feel like that's so hard to do and they nail it every time . The manager is fantastic and so kind, as we ended up visiting again for a catering tasting experience and immediately wanted to have them for our big day. The space is cozy. It's not a huge barbecue joint which on the flipside I actually really appreciate. I love how there are still pig tchotchkes from the old building brought to this new building. The west really has some fantastic barbecue and we are happy to add them to the list! read more

This was a second time visiting this place. And it confirmed that their brisket is consistently dry and bland, like it was reheated in a microwave. I was hoping the first time was a fluke, but unfortunately it was the same dry bland taste. We also ordered wings and a burger to share. They were both good. But our main event, brisket, was a big letdown. The ambiance was very nice and the staff were friendly. I just wish the food was better. read more

We have been wanting to try Mr Pigs for quite some time and had a delicious meal for my husband's birthday! We shared the hushpuppies, they were perfectly crisp and incredibly flavorful with the right amount of heat from the green chilis and matched with a yummy dipping sauce. He had the ribs, brisket and pulled pork with coleslaw and corn bread. I had the pulled pork grilled cheese. All the meats were perfectly done, moist and tender. The meat fell right off the bones of the ribs. Coleslaw was great, cornbread delicious with some honey butter on the side, house made chips crunchy and seasoned so well! An all around hit for us. We can't wait to come back! read more

Last time I was in Shakopee I noticed a new restaurant and decided to suggest for our dinner before the show. My friends and I were glad we came here, food was delicious and service was great. Busy dinner rush, but we were able to get our table on time. Portions were just right for 3 people, with little to take home as leftovers. Ambiance reminds me of a cabin, wood covered the walls for the smoke meats. read more

Great place for bbq. Everything tasted really good! They don't skimp on the nacho toppings that's for sure! The only part I had a hard time getting used to was they used seasoned kettle potato chips and not tortilla chips for the base but the pork and toppings were legit! This place is next door to my other favorite restaurants in Shakopee, "Bravis" and "OG ZaZa." I'm loving this location and it's next to Canterbury Park. read more

The food was great and the service friendly and attentive. The surprise came with the bill. The amounts on the bill didn't match what we remembered on the menu. When we asked, we were told there was an upcharge for the brisket as part of the two meat entree and that there's an extra charge for greens as a side. While there are lots of asterisks on the menu for gluten free, there are none for additional charges. The prices are not unreasonable - but be clear what those prices are. I still don't understand the charge for greens. Can anyone explain it? read more

Great service, great food, and the set up of the restaurant was great. Seems like the summer would be a fun time to go get some bbq but it was nice and cozy in the fall. The coleslaw I wouldn't recommend but the potatoes and mac and cheese were phenomenal and the brisket super tender as well as the ribs. The bbq sauces weren't bad but not my favorite. Overall would recommend and will be back read more

Ate here twice and both were decent. Hush puppies were decent, especially for a northern business. I would skip the nachos, too many chips and not enough "stuff" on them. Sauces are good and a wide range of flavors. Service both times was good, one at the bar for pickup order and one at a table before going to the racetrack. Ambiance is lively and a bit loud, read more

We found Mr Pig Smokery from a video on Facebook and decided to give it a try, and I'm glad we did. Everything we had was really good. The food was excellent across the board. The ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender with great flavor, and the brisket was super tender as well. The cornbread was perfectly cooked, which I always look for at BBQ spots, so that was a big win for me. The beans were excellent, and the cheesy potatoes were well-seasoned and hit the spot. The service was excellent, and I really liked the atmosphere and the inside of the building, it had a great vibe. Overall, great experience and definitely worth checking out if you're in the area. read more

I'm on a journey to find the best bbq spots in MN and finally got a chance to give Mr. Pigs a try. I was lucky to find an open seat at the bar because it was totally packed. I'm a tough judge on Minnesota bbq given that I'm from Memphis but this place left me satisfied. Everything was solid! I can tell why this is one of the most popular spots in Shakopee. read more

Good lord, the pork chop was incredible. So tender, juicy, all around delicious and nothing like the pork chops that traumatized me as a child. I was skeptical at first but this has completely changed my adult mind about pork chops which deserves an award of its own. The restaurant has a great southern vibe with metal and wood finishes reminiscent of a smoker, fantastic service (I was worried about the pink in the middle of my pork chop due to the fact that every chop I had in my childhood was cooked to absolute death and beyond so I never knew pork could be pink and edible LOL--they immediately reassured me it was smoked to perfection and they weren't lying even a little bit), and the food would absolutely bring us back. It's not extremely pricey, it's more than your average weeknight meal but absolutely worth it. read more

Another great restaurant in Shakopee! Yay! I almost wish it wasn't so good because parking is a NIGHTMARE with 3 really good restaurants being right next to each other. Get the ribs. Get the brisket. Get everything. I went for the first time last week and went back for more a few nights later. Service is great and the atmosphere is classy but casual at the same time. read more

BLAND. Everything looked good, all of our food smelled good, our food even came out great::: but the taste of everything was B L A N D!!! It was lovely to not have food over salted, but unfortunately nothing had flavor. We brought leftovers home for our other child, they smelled delicious but she even said they had zero flavor. MN needs good bbq, I hope they can figure it out because right now this isn't it. . read more

I am not sure where they get 4 stars then again it's MN, at best and I mean at best it's a 2.5 stars, nothing amazing nothing memorable. I don't like mushy meat. I ordered the brisket and the turkey for an up charge. Got about four 1" x 4" slices of each way overpriced. I would definitely suggest any other barbecue place. This place is not known for good barbecue, and if they are the people leaving the five stars have never had good barbecue. read more

Was in town for work and based on the reviews looked like this was the spot to go, and that was correct! I got the brisket and it was absolutely delicious. Juicy, tender, delicious smoke flavor. Cornbread and mashed potatoes were very good as well. It was busy and the bartender was doing a great job keeping up. Awesome to see so many people in there for dinner, especially after hearing from a local that they just opened the restaurant a year ago or so as an extension of their catering business. The owner brought my food out and even gave me a refill on water. Great job, keep up the good work. I'll be back when in the area for sure. Cheers read more

Amazing food!!! Loved the atmosphere! The cornbread was one of my favorite parts! Service was very good as well!

First visit to Mr. Pig's new digs. Enjoyed their Q many times during catered events. Brand new space near Canterbury is sweet. Plenty of screens to watch your favorite team. Full bar offering a gazillion whiskies and a comprehensive wine list. Service was friendly and attentive. Quality of their Q remains high. We enjoyed 2 of their 2 meat combo plates with pulled pork, ribs, smoked turkey, and beef brisket. Of the sides sampled (mac&cheese, house chips and coleslaw) the barbecue beans were my favorite. Do not hesitate to try their sandwiches....the "Pile" (brisket, pulled pork, mac and cheese plus coleslaw) or the not on the menu "Slop Bucket" (chopped brisket, pork, and smoked sausage simmered is house barbecue sauce with pickles & crispy onion straws). Sandwiches were generous. Meat plates were light....maybe 4oz of each meat. Corn muffins were dry, but salvaged by the excellent cinnamon honey butter. read more
