Rudolph's BBQ Rudolph's has the best BBQ in town. I have recently discovered this restaurant in Minneapolis. I had a wonderful experience. The ribs are outstanding. The customer service was wonderful. We had a group of about fifteen yet all of our needs were met throughout our entire visit.

Great BBQ Rudolph's has been around for years and continues to be one of the best BBQ in the Minneapolis area. The food is fabulous and the service even better.

Great Food. Service leaves a bit to be desired. Rudolph's has some great food and super happy hour specials. It's some of the best BBQ in the Twin Cities. But, beware, the service isn't of the same quality of the food. My server took a long time to get to my table. Didn't check back on the food. And didn't bring the condiments I asked for.

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
