What People Are Saying About Market Bar-B-Que

In Short – Dark-wood booths, red-checked tablecloths and slabs of ribs served on paper-lined, plastic trays all indicate a true-blue, old-time barbecue joint. Dozens of celebrity photos from 60-plus years in the business line the walls. Tabletop jukeboxes feature retro favorites like Elvis Presley's "Hound Dog." This is manly food, from the heaping portions of pulled pork and chewy ribs and piles of crispy fries to the crunchy coleslaw and syrupy, barbecue baked beans.

i've had more meat on a chicken wing

by Buck50

I ordered a full slab of their spare ribs for a takeout order. The woman at the counter asked if I had ordered the 12 bone slab and I said that I had. When I got home little did I know that was exactly what I got. 12 bones surrounded by a few bits of dried up meat! For 30 dollars a slab I think it is reasonable to expect more. Worst ever. Wouldn't waste my money on these things again.

I don't get it!!!

by Sparkyboo

I love good bbq. The Nicollet Market BBQ is TERRIBLE!!. The funny thing .. I went to the Wayzata Market BBQ and loved it. Best brisket sandwich I've ever eatin. I tried the same sammy at the Nicollet Marktet BBQ.. It tasted like something died on my plate. The meat had NO smokey flavor, and the brisket sandwich was accompanied with sloppy over-cooked onions, Sorry to say this but even the bbq sauce had no kick, Tasted like ketchup.

I started out ordering babyback ribs but had to send those things back. The meat was tough, no presence of a rub, and the smokey taste was missing .Tasted like they were cooked in an oven, not a pit. If Markets philosophy is that they want you to taste the meat, I'd say... cook me some meat that's worth tasting!!! I'm not surprised the place was half empty on a friday night!!!

I ain't going back!!!

  • Pros: delicious coleslaw, good french fries and nice wait staff
  • Cons: Oh Boy!!
