About this business
Specialties Amazing BBQ food made for the last 67 years History Established in 1946. For more than 60 years, Market Bar-B-Que has been serving real pit smoked ribs. Back in the days of vaudeville, Market Bar-B-Que was famous for being the late night spot with great barbeque food. In no time at all, it became the Sardis of Minneapolis, an after hours haven for hungry show folks, sports personalities, and just about anybody who was anybody. That was all back in the days when the Farmers' Market, our namesake, was located acros... read more

great ribs – JUst fantastic ribs really cool place on top of it
YUCK!!!!! – the ribs were tougher than a rusty nail, and had less flavor. It was not smoked at all. Wonder bread? WTF?? This place is FUBAR
i've had more meat on a chicken wing – 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!!! – 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. Th... read more
Cold food; bad service; no response – Our family went Christmas Eve. Empty. It seemed as though our being there was a great inconvenience to our server. She was rude and inattentive. Our food was cold. Our bill was over $100 for 4. I e-mailed the next day to state our dissatisfaction... no response. Followed-up a week later with another e-mail... no response. I will never go to Market Barbecue again, and would not recommend it to anybody. Absolutely NO customer service.
Not Worth It! – Well overpriced average food. Baby back ribs should fall off the bone. We had to use a steak knife to pry and saw them apart. A steak knife! High ratings must have come from people that have not been to a Texas Roadhouse or any restaurant with good ribs. We were quite disappointed with the whole meal. Everything else, but maybe the beans was disappointing for what we paid. We will not return. I got a membership to this site just to be able to warn others not to waste their money here with all the options in t... read more
Food Network – I watch the food network all the time low and behold the Neelys came to Minneapolis, they seemed to think that Market bbq was the best place to find bbq in Minnesota. after seeing this episode i thought i would give the place a shot so i went to there downtown location they were very busy so i knew it was going to be good. my family and i had the pork and beef ribs we are all used to getting the sauce on our ribs these ribs have the sauce on the side after trying these ribs i agreed with the Neelys they are th... read more
Overrated, poor interpretation of Southern BBQ – I had the spareribs. They were dry and tough, and not well-flavored. The whole point of indirect cooking methods such as smoking is to tenderize tough cuts of meat. The whole art of doing this is accomplishing the tenderization without drying out the meat. Market failed in both regards on the pork ribs, which is unacceptable. The chicken was not bad, but the spare ribs were a huge disappointment. The sides were good, I really enjoyed the slaw. Service was nice and I really dug... read more
Best Ribs and Best BBQ sauce in Minnesota! – Through my experience the Market Bar-B-Que has always been the best place in Minneapolis to get great BBQ. I've gone there as long as I can remember and I've always had a great experience. I'm a big fan of the ribs and homemade bbq sauce and I like that they a pit smoked like its done in the south. I've also had their chicken which I was very impressed with how moist and tender it is. I feel like the market has a wonderful charm about it that I don't find at big chain restaurants ... read more
