The Best – My wife and I were some of the first patrons when they first opened. Great than, just as great now. Great ambience and staff. Fantastic ribs. Done to perfection with a perfect sauce. Not too mild. Ribs were were cooked properly. Tender and meaty unlike F.D.'s which are always over-cooked and hard.

worst experience of my life – I give this place ZERO stars. Never in my life have I been treated like such scum for NO reason. Where do I even begin... I showed up with some girls for a birthday party and since our entire party wasn't there yet, we were refused a seat. We finally decided to just get a smaller table so that we could sit and begin enjoying drinks and food. Our waitress immediately brought the manager over to explain a 20% gratuity on parties of 6 or more. 20 minutes later we received water with no straws. Afte... read more

Ribs in Uptown – The food here is superb and the environment is very welcoming. It makes me feel like I'm in a different era. Like I expect to see Jazz players ripping it up on the stage and famous gangsters walking thriough the door a la John Dillinger and company. I order the ribs everytime because it's my favorite food and because Rudolphs Rib's are delicious. The ribs are smoked and have a tangy kick to it. Plenty of meat on the bones and it fills me up everytime. I usually get a half slab with an order of their creamy c... read more

Rib tips, slaw and a beer – I'm a little biased since I've been going to Rudolphs for about 4/5ths of my life. I've recently discovered rib tips are the way to go. It's a great value and they are so meaty. They are nice and smoked and well charred. The sauce never tastes as good at home for some reason. The cole slaw is legendary. The ambiance is always a thrill. It's so well done it takes you back to the 20s. The staff is very professional and always very polite. The management also seems very active and involved in what is... read more

All I can say is WOW!!!! – I went to Rudolphs last night, actually by accident, since the original restaurant was planning on trying was closed. I was extremely impressed about EVERYTHING at their establishment!!! We were seated in a very busy restaurant, by the very impressive owner himself, Mr. Jimmy!!!! He made sure to find us a nice, comfortable booth, and the waitress was fantastic!!! The food was mouth-watering and definitely would go back time and time again!! Thanks so much, Mr. Jimmy, I know your restaurant is so fa... read more

More Annoying Than Enjoyable – We went on a Tuesday eve. during Happy Hour with our 13 year old son. They wouldn't let us sit at a table in the bar area...said it was a law....I told them that law only pertains to sitting at the bar itself. Then they said it is their poilicy. I told them that they are the only place in town with that policy. They said that thr;ve had it for 35 years and that it is to protect children from overhearing bad conversations from other customers and that it also allows other customers in the bar to... read more

Rudolphs BBQ – I wanted to get some response or support for what I experienced at this establishment during there "Happy Hour." We were there early in the week having drinks and apps at the bar. When we were finished, we asked for the check and a "to go" box for the remainder of the apps we didn't finish. The bartender refused and informed we don't do "to go" boxes for H.H. apps. At first we thought she was joking, she wasn't... ! This is my concern, we "paid" for these, if we as patrons decide to take our food/apps home due... read more

Classic Minneapolis BBQ – I have been going to Rudolph's for a while now, and always am happy with my experience there. The chicken and ribs are my favorite, but the sides do a wonderful job at completing the meal. A well-stocked bar also makes Rudolph's a quality place to get some drinks.
