The service was fast. (Order at the counter and they bring it to you) I ordered the Hickory Chicken Breast with fries. Very good - It was pretty big which was good cause I was HUNGRY! I especially like that they don't put the barbeque sauce on it and have different varieties on the table for you to put on your own. My boyfriend and I shared a Hot Fudge Kahlua Brownie. IT was EXCELLENT. Very good food! Prices are reasonable considering you get a big portion.

If you are not in Kansas City, eat at Dave's!

I grew up in and near Kansas City. I have a pretty good idea of what great tomato - based BBQ sauce should taste like. Dave's is the best North of Kansas City. The meat is cooked pretty well, too. Although, I would suggest the brisket or pulled pork if you are a die hard KC ribs fan and want that meat to fall right off the bone. Sorry Dave, but your ribs are not cooked THAT great. However if you are have a craving for BBQ ribs in Minnesota, Dave's is the best you will find.

• Pros: BBQ sauce, ambience, service, quality, great amount of food for the price, you will never leave hungry
• Cons: the BBQ ribs are not the best in the world, but they are the best in Minnesota

Finger-licking ribs this good just can't be Northern barbecue.

In Short
Eat at this chain and you'll swear the Mason-Dixon line moved to Saskatchewan. The weathered-looking wooden walls of Dave's shacks are decked out with roadside signs and cute pig paintings. You stand in line to order, then take a numbered wooden pig to your table. The sandwiches and platters (including Texas beef brisket and Georgia chopped pork) are filling, but favorites include a mess of St. Louis-style ribs, sticky with Dave's own award-winning sauce.
