Saint Paul Barbecue Down by The River
“Where the deliciousness keeps smoking all year round”
From Pit to Plate
This isn’t Texas. This isn’t Memphis. It’s not whatever you’ve had that was supposed to be the best barbecue ever. This is Minnesota BBQ, and it’s really, really good. Our meat treats are only made fresh to order and everything is timed to be ready at 5pm on Fridays.
Making this much barbecue requires a sizable amount of wood. So, we decided to source the wood locally. The smoke you’re tasting in that brisket comes from locally grown and harvested Black Cherry Wood. It literally does not get more fresh than this folks!

“This weekly scene is the continuation of a treasured St. Paul barbecue legacy, a point of pride for the West Side, and, almost incidentally, it serves what is arguably the best smoked meat in the Twin Cities.”
“It’s a mobile smoking operation churning out some very fine brisket.”
