Great service great food thank you quality and good nice owner homeown business smoked brisket

Since moving to wadena we have eaten there quite a few times. I shouldn't say we because my son doesn't much care for barbecued ribs. But I have eaten their numerous times and the food is always fantastic. I get a double helping of beans because they add pork to the beans. I usually order two rib dinners so I can have one later on that night. You get plenty of ribs. The normal meal comes with potato salad and beans. Like I said if you want good barbecue stop in there and eat read more

Affordable lunch stop! $6.50 for today's special - smoked pork sandwich, cowboy beans and coleslaw. The coleslaw was less flavorful than I would have liked but tasted great when mixed with their BBQ sauce and pork. The pork had a great smoky flavor and was piled on top of a sub bun. The beans were the real winner here with shreds of pork and a little kick, they mixed well with everything on the tray. And it was enough food to split I also bought some beef snack sticks for the road and they have a number of varieties, but plain was calling my heart. They had the right amount of pepper to be flavorful, but not too peppery. I wish I would have also tried to pineapple teriyaki or habanero. Reasonably priced as well ($7.50 for 8 sticks). read more

The BBQ Smokehouse - Today's Special - Smoked Pork, Cowboy Beans and Coleslaw - Barbeque Near Me - Wadena, Minnesota

I have mixed feeling about this place. I was impressed by the selection of meats and seafood for sale. The rib dinner was out of this world! Baked beans were also very good. What I don't care for is the combination of meat market/eatery. As I'll call it. Either have your own restaurant open to let's say 10:00 pm or just have a meat market only. If not have two separate stores. Instead they open at 7:00 am. Start selling meals at 11:00. Close at 6:00 pm. Too early to close! I prefer to go someplace at NIGHT to eat ribs. Not during the afternoon hours. read more

See all

I stopped to take food to go as we were in town for Hockey and they close early in the evening we got ribs that were decently tender and had good flavor. I would order those again. We also chose brisket that was vacu-packed. It had good smoke flavor but was extremely tough and dry. Kinda like jerky. Brutal. I will not return unless they can sell the meat fresh. read more

More of a store with a few tables. They make just a few things each day so your selection is very limited. Today they had turkey or BBQ ribs. Along with beens and potato salad. read more

Nice find. Right on Hwy 10. Easy. Just a quick lunch but was great. Brisket was lean and pull apart tender. Beans were well stocked with added stuff. All excellent read more

This place is great! I recommend that everybody come here! Hands down the best ribs I have ever had! The build-a-burger is also great! The macaroni salad is very unique and addicting. I absolutely love stopping here just about every time I work in Wadena! The service is absolutely amazing here! Each time I come to this establishment the food comes out within minutes! It's pretty much fast food, but it's actual food! The prices are very reasonable too! Two people can eat and have a soda for under twenty dollars! It's just wonderful to find a place that serves top notch food for minimum dollar! read more

As a resident of Wadena, I've eaten here many times. It's always inviting, quick, and very, very good BBQ. What's even more impressive is their selection of take home meats, and their processing options. Tyler will turn your wild game into anything you desire! read more

Great selection of meats and their daily lunches are always delicious! Love having such a gem in Wadena! Thanks Tyler and all the workers! Great service! read more

Whoa!! Talk about a gem in the rough. This is a BBQ/butcher shop with a wide selection of BBQ (of course, meat cuts, cheese, and meat sticks). I showed up with 10 minutes to closing and the owner behind the counter was as friendly as could be. I ordered a portion of ribs (which were very tasty, and not veiny) and some slaw and beans. Excellent. Very reasonably priced. No alcohol served on the premises ;(. Looks like they also do catering. read more

Oh mercy. This is probably hands down the best bratwurst AND bbq ribs I have ever had. We stopped in during a visit to MN, and my only regret is that I couldn't take home every kind of bratwurst they sell (cheddar! Blueberry! Many more!). Specials came with amazing creamy potato salad--just right, not gloppy and mayo laden--and perfectly spiced cowboy beans. Bravo! Truly worth the trip. Hope to travel here again in the near future. read more
