FireBox- BBQ

For MN, this place is average at best or almost as good as most BBQ places in the Upper Midwest. I've been to most of the best BBQ places in Texas, so I know how BBQ to perfection should taste like. I ordered the brisket, tips, pork ribs, wings, and Mac N cheese. Brisket: 7/10 a little dry, lacking that tick flavorful crust and ring. The flavor was okay. Tips: 5/10 same situation as the brisket. Pork ribs: 6/10 I've had better in MN. Same as the situation as the brisket and tips. There is a trend here that I picked up on really fast. Wings: 3/10 One of the worst smoked wings and almost flavorless... Mac N Cheese: 3/10 Very dry, hardly any cheese except for the sprinkle of shredded cheese on top of it. I won't be going here again for BBQ.

FireBox BBQ is the best Barbecue I have had in the Twin Cities. This place has that actual real smoke that you can taste and smell. I had the 2 meat platter with brisket and ribs. Both were phenomenal. The brisket was tender and juicy with a nice crust. Same with the pork ribs, always having a nice smoke ring in the meat. Coleslaw was great. Prices were reasonable. Service was great. The house BBQ sauce was also one of my favorite BBQ sauces I've had.

We ordered the Firebox Feast. The pork ribs are the best in this combo. The picture shows our left overs. It is plenty of food for at least 5 meat for a couple. So, the price is definitely worth it. For picking up, you can park at Whole foods and walk.

I was craving BBQ, and this place is close to my work, so I gave it a shot. I placed an order online, and it was a standard wait of 40 minutes, no big deal. It took an extra 20 minutes on top of that, but it was still no big deal, just plan accordingly if you order to go. The ribs were tender, the brisket was great, the potatoe salad was good, and so were the greens, the mac was mid, but that could be from travel time. I liked their BBQ sauce but would have loved some more heat in it. Parking is across the street just a heads up. I'd definitely go again and have no regrets!

I went in the week day for dinner there was no line. The food was great. The brisket so soft and juicy love it …!!!! I think the plates are really good portions

Amazing BBQ and the service was quick. Came in on a Sunday night and ordered a 2-Plate with Ribs, Brisket, Fries, and Coleslaw. The ribs peeled off the bone as if it was slow cooked and the fries are peeled extra thick. I couldn't finish this so I took this home and it was still good to eat for lunch the next day. There are other items on the menu that you can try out if you're not looking to spend a whole ton of money. They also have their in-house BBQ sauce and you can request their pepper sauce for an extra kick.

My friend and I came here after shooting some hoops. We were excited to try another BBQ joint as we haven't seen much of it around the Twin Cities. I got the Brisket Sandwich with fries and it was great! The french fries were especially great as they were seasoned very well and hot off the press. I tried the Firebox sauce on my brisket and it's a great condiment to add. My friend enjoyed his ribs and had to bring a box since his sides were such large portions. Service was prompt and it was affordably priced. 5 stars from me!

The food is amazing, I love the Collard greens, and it's become one of my favorite side dishes. The service is top notch, and the workers are friendly and really inviting! The atmosphere is amazing. As soon as you step in, the woody aromatics of smoked meat hits your nose, and the lovely vibe there is amazing. It's one of my favorite places to grub at whenever I crave Brisket!
