We literally pulled into this wonderful place right as they were closing. We asked simply what they had left we did not expect them to make anything fresh for us at that hour... Much our surprise they had everything ready to go and we're more than happy to help us. Five stars just for that and the Survis with a smile. Now let's talk about how awesome that food was. Got the pulled pork party pack which was four sides buns and 4 pounds of pulled pork. An entire jar of their signature barbecue sauce that you get to choose from. We chose the plane as we have several Midwesterners with us who catch up seems to be a little too spicy for them :-) The end result was a delicious meal that everybody was completely satisfied with. It was fantastically delicious and can't wait to make a midnight sandwich with all the leftovers we have. Fantastic staff, fantastic food and the service was above and beyond. Thank you so much for saving dinner on a holiday weekend. Eternally grateful and so thankful we found you.

There are things to love about this place, but this food does not taste grilled or smoked. The…read morerestaurant does not smell like a grill or smoker. There is no evidence of actual BBQing going on. The pork we got did not taste smokey and did not have caramelization or char. The burnt ends were objectively not burnt ends. They were bits of steak in broth mixed with sweet BBQ sauce. The liquid smoke flavor was undeniable. There were 2 BBQ sauce flavors only. The cornbread was a 2"x2" square of something that tastes like it comes from a box and it counted as a side. Our server forgot about us and admitted it. The vibe is cute, the prices are reasonable, the menu's range and flavor combos are very cool, you can tell the owner really cares. But this is not BBQ and at times, it feels disingenuous about what's trying to be. For the people saying this is the best BBQ in Minnesota or the best there ever had, a wish you better fortune on your BBQ exploration, friend.

Bottom Line: Same excellent food & customer service as when…read moreJr's No. 19 BBQ were located at Crosslake American Legion. This is the best BBQ I've found in the lake region of the north woods or anywhere else in the state for that matter. Their U.G.L.Y. Cheesecake Company desserts are not to be missed. Top Line: Dine-in dinner at Jr's "new digs" in the old Brick House Pizza building in Brainerd delivered well smoked meats, tasty sides, and wondrous desserts. Decor is tasteful and a solid step or three above most BBQ or pizza joints. Subdued color palette, spacious seating, and stone fireplace contributed to casual laid-back ambiance. Space was easily quiet enough for casual conversation, since most folks were doing take out orders & not populating the tables or booths. My dining partner had the chopstick chicken salad of romaine lettuce, Mandarin orange sections, tomatoes, walnuts, & chow mein noodles topped with lots of grilled chicken & an Asian dressing. Portion was generous, to say the least. I ordered a smoked brisket plate with a couple sides of choice (baked beans & cole slaw for me), oversized dinner bun, & their great BBQ sauce. Iced sweet tea came with refills. I split the house baked bun to make a brisket sandwich. Owner felt brisket was over cooked (which I didn't detect), so was generous to add a couple bones of their delightful pork ribs as compensation. Special cred for the puffy bun! Very light & tender interior of brioche weight, while having a toothsome texture. But the slightly crusty top and bottom easily handled my heavy handedness with BBQ sauce to keep the sandwich intact, even when drenched with the tangy slightly sweet sauce. Brisket was distinctly smoked & literally fall apart tender. Even the bark on the burnt ends parts of the portion were pliable & toothy (vs dried out & crunchy). There was plenty of brisket for the sandwich & a bit more. Ribs, plus leftover sides, came home for lunch tomorrow. Sides were solid on taste & texture. Cole slaw was crispy & well loaded with somewhat tame dressing. Bowl of beans had bits of smoked meat (brisket?) intermingled with the tasty beans. Portions of both were generous, which seems to be a repeating theme with Jr's. Dessert cheesecake was substantial while the filling had a surprisingly light texture for something with that much heft. The lightness kept it from weighing you down after a full meal. Flavor from my Caramel Chocolate Macchiato cheesecake punched well above its weight & remained impactful to the last bite. The dominant coffee flavor ran strong but didn't overwhelm the chocolate crumb crust completely. Nice balance! Their cookies at 2-for-a-buck are a "steal of the century" contender due to the very low cost for chocolate chip cookies with a butter rich & complex flavor profile that has some unusual notes coming into play. So if you're in the Brainerd area on vacation or attending a BIR event check out the gang at Jr's No. 19 BBQ at the old Brick House Pizza location for some great BBQ and cheesecake. If you're a pizza fiend or in need some baked goods, they may still be your huckleberry du jour.

We sat outside which was great since it was a great day. The waitress was quick and attentive. I would say eat here if you have to but not because you really want a good meal.
