good food, great interior – The place is really cool inside with the booths, wood, and big bar. Cajun chicken sandwich was good; the mashed potatoes are excellent. I'd go back just for them! My friend had the Little Ricky (4 ribs) and said it was ok but pretty dry. We also had the cornbread, which was also dry. It was still tasty though, and had delicious honey-maple-butter. The manager stopped by a couple times to check on us and got us whatever we asked for. Were there at a slow time, so we got a booth right away and had g... read more

Rudolph's Rocks – From the moment we entered the restaurant we were greeted and seated. We ordered drinks and a appetizer (spinach and artichoke dip) we loved it! It was wonderful that we could take our time and enjoy our drinks and appetizer without the food arriving so fast. Alot of restaurants feed you like cattle your in and out with no time to enjoy. When our main meal arrived it was outstanding, meaty ribs that had a wonderful rub and very tender. The sauce was very good it was sweet AND spicy. All of us love it. The g... read more

This is good barbeque? – We went here because we had a Happening coupon for one free entree. Well, I was unimpressed with their barbecue. Their ribs were bland and I can make better barbecued chicken without even trying. I hear they have a good happy hour, so that might be worth checking out. We both thought our chicken appetizer was great, but it was served AFTER OUR ENTREES. I couldn't believe this. What is the point of even bothering to serve the appetizers if you've already given us our entrees. The dining area was empty... read more

very average – Only in Minnesota will you find this place. In the south they would laugh this place back to the north. Why? Because they have the sweetest sauce I've ever thried in my life. Bar-BQue should NOT (repeat) NOT be a sweet dish. It should have some tang and spice but I guess in a state where ketchup is a spice and you can buy extra mild salsa (fact: only state in the country pace makes it for) that it would reason the sauce is far removed from spicy. On the positive side the menu is varied enough you can stay away... read more

Good food! – The food here is really good, but they did change their menu within the past few months. They had a bbq pork sandwich that was AMAZING, but it is no longer on thier menu. The Spinach Artichoke dip is wonderful, and the bbq brisket is tender and delicious. I would recomemd this resturant to anyone who can afford it, it tends to be a bit pricey!

Rudolph's Ribs are the BEST – Since I was a liite kid, my family when in the Cities have eaten at Rudolph's. It is by far the best BBQ I have ever been to. The Ribs are amazing, and the BBQ sauce is second to none!!

Very good – Went here for lunch to beat the crowds. The ribs were delicious and tender, but I wish the quantity was more. The coconut chicken salad was great while the parmesan peppercorn ranch dressing was to die for.. The pulled pork pita was mounded high and excellent.. Don't forget to have the NY cheesecake that is actually flown in from NY.. Its rich and tasty...

Best Happy Hour – Rudolph's bar has an unbeatable late-night happy hour. 2 for 1s from 10-close. Even on Friday nights! The BBQ Chicken Nachos are to die for. Fries are good too! Service is always top notch: speedy, fun, & knowledgeable. Excellent neighborhood spot!
