In Short – Think red-checked plastic tablecloths, paper towels atop each table, TVs tuned to an assortment of sporting events and plenty of Texas-themed memorabilia. Smoky aromas and friendly folks greet you, along with a bathtub chock-full of ice and soda. Step up to the counter to order a half slab or whole rack of butter-tender pork ribs, brisket, smoked chicken and more, tray up your cole slaw and other fixings and have a seat.

Disappointing Ribs and more
by Fair and Balanced
Reviews had mislead me. I asked what was best and was told the ribs, but they were very disappointing. While they had the pink color of smoking and some smoky taste they were otherwise poor. They seemed to have been made yesterday and heated up a bit today. The sauce was weak and runny, the sides were poor at best. For a few bucks more I could have stopped at Redstone, a few blocks away, for good ribs and sides. Oh, they might of even had a good tap beer to go with it.
- Pros: Smoked ribs. Henry Weinhard's Vanilla Soda was great.
- Cons: Everything else

Best Texas BBQ in Twin Cities
by JayEff
If you have ever been to a real Tx BBQ roadside shack, you will right at home at Baker's. The ribs are as good as I have ever had in Texas and much better than the slippery, mushy "Famous" ribs. I like the chopped pork sandwich with a dollop of coleslaw (which is more of a Southern thang than a Western thang). The atmosphere is authentic to Texas style BBQ joints.
I take the score down one star only because of the sides. I would like to see (and this is my Southernness showing) fried okra, fried pickles, cabbage, all you can eat oven-fresh baked rolls and jalape?o cornbread, and a serve-yourself wheel of cheddar cheese.
- Pros: Real Texas BBQ. Authentic tastes, smells and atmosphere
- Cons: Where's the fried okra?
