Baker's Ribs

So I am blown away with how consistent Baker's ribs has always been. Every time I've gone for barbecue at bakers ribs on Northwest highway they are spot on every time for the past 15 years that I've been going! If you haven't tried this spot you need to check it out you'll definitely become a hooked fan as I am. Every time I go in I get the brisket It is smoked perfectly and very juicy it's juicy but they will trim it how you would like.

Among the food there is the customer service. So every time I go in there there's always a manager named Josh Who has a great personality and it makes you feel good about being there. Bottom line is I definitely recommend this place!

When you drive 45 minutes for BBQ and they closed early. I arrived at 8:24pm, drive thru blocked, states 9pm close time. I was getting 'To Go' for Easter brunch tomorrow. They are watching the fight. Beyond irritated! What a waste of my time. Won't bother next time.

Really enjoyed this restaurant. During by a three years and never stopped in but always thought I would someday and finally did. Awesome Ribs, tender and meaty, great sauce. Large baked potato and really good coleslaw. My wife got the beer can chicken with the same size is very very good.

Got the lunch special, and a little guilty pleasure fried pie, Not bad at all, good ribs good service

I highly recommend Baker's Ribs! Great service with a smile (and a free sample of melt-in-your-mouth ribs). Their meats are fork tender and have a wonderful smoky flavor. If you need to cater a party, small or large, Baker's Ribs is the way to go!

This is a place where the food is good! I meet here regularly with a music group and love the venue. The place is big and has two dining areas. Note that it is an older establishment and they no longer have an adult beverage license. You may however, bring your own.

First time I went, I was excited to get some good BBQ. Went in the drive through and they were polite and helpful. The food looked good and smelled good too. However about 7 mins after I ate, I HAD DIE-A-REE-AH. Automatic no return to business and bad review. Oh and another thing, I never get the runs from other places.

We keep coming back because the BBQ and sides are always good! Staff is friendly and courteous! and the Fried Pies remind me of my Granny's homemade ones, so Yummy!

I only wish we had one out by Chaska - regardless, everything we have ever had from Baker's was 10/10 - FABULOUS. One of the best bbq restaurants in the Twin Cities. Personally I think they smoke Market BBQ. Highly recommended.

Good BBQ spot. Reasonable prices. Places to sit and nice atmosphere. Decent portions. I ordered the 2 meat combo with ribs and brisket for about $20. Side choices could use a little improvement. No Mac-n-cheese. Corn dish was cold.

A previous poster commented "not real bbq" due to the lack of a smoke ring. I'll second his comment but will give a shout-out to the quality and taste of the food. The brisket, sausage and beans were spot on and MUCH better than any other bbq spot I've been to in the twin cities.

From the moment you step into this place you know you've landed at an outstanding rib joint. Dine In or Take Out the quality of the food and service is unparalleled. Owners Scott & Al are friendly and accommodating. Long time staff are outstanding as well.

This is the best Texas BBQ in the state! The friendly staff and funny decor. The price is a little scary when you first see it. The quality and portion size of the food shows you why.

We tried to call the Eden Prairie location to place an order for pickup this evening and we were treated absolutely horribly by the person who answered the phone. When we stated we want to make an order he rudely told us that they just do orders at the counter unless its a "big" order. When we said we have big order, he was very agitated and reluctantly began taking our order.

After attempting to place our order, and hearing him sigh after every item, it was clear we were not welcome. When we asked when we could pick it up he snapped at my wife telling her she called and should tell him when we want to pick it up. At this point we hung up. This goes without saying, but this is absolutely awful. I suggest you spend your dollars at a place that respects their customers. I can only imagine how many people have been treated this way and that will not be back.

How is famous Dave's even open if this place exists!? People should go here instead! best ribs in the Twin Cities hands down!. Delicious baked beans with lots of spices. brisket delicious. Everything I've had here has been amazing! Always a good bargain for lunch - good sized portions and great prices. I will say that they need to work on customer service.

The people on the phone have always been less than kind and in a rush. And they do need to teach people behind the counter just decent human being manners. I do not have high expectations for the employees.

I'm temporarily working in the Twin Cities and staying in a hotel near by this place. I have to admit I was skeptical about this place when I first arrived due to the lack of customers in the dining room. After ordering and setting in the dining room I noticed 10 or 12 customers come in and order to go and 4 or 5 other couples come in and sit down. Very fast and friendly service. And the food was EXCELLENT! I would highly recommend this place!

I have been here twice. The 1st time completely dissapointed, maybe it was the end of the day but the food was not good. My 2nd visit was better, the ribs were not falling off the bone, but good overall. Im intrigued but only slightly. I would like to try one of the fried pies, so maybe a 3rd visit it in order.

Very good BBQ. Good price, nice workers and authentic eats. Would definitely recommend

1st time stop by because daughter wanted something from next door. my nose decided BBQ would be better for us tonight- Wow WoW am i glad. This place will be visited many more times by our Family. Excellent food and service (to go) but delicious and worth the price. Thank you Ribs/Brisket/corn salad/potato salad were all top notch! Bw

I have been there twice. I had the lunch rib special both times. The ribs literally fall off the bone. They are a well seasoned dry rub. Awesome lunch.

I'm torn. This is not bbq. That brisket, while tasty, never saw smoke. No smoke ring, no smoke flavor. So as a bbq place they get 0. But if you put that aside, the brisket was good. The beans were awesome. Coleslaw good. And super friendly. They clearly have a faithful following. So, I'll give them 4 stars as a restaurant. Zero stars for the false advertising of "real Texas bbq".

Pretty good BBQ for the price. Not too expensive but typical BBQ pricing. Decent sized portions of sides and LOTS of ribs! Clean inside and pretty empty around 4pm on a weekday. Staff was friendly and the atmosphere was really laid back. Good food, would come again. Kids eat free on Wednesday and they have complementary ice cream!

Love the Food, it was good, inside looked nice and clean. The outside of the building/parking lot looks like it could be a vacant building, with overgrown bushes, weeds, tree needing to be trimmed, grass over growing curbs, parking lot lights out, no lights on street or building signage, and a couple of outdoor eating areas that I guess they don't turns the lights on.

I took my son there for his birthday (he's a fast food manager) and when he saw the outside he wasn't even sure if he wanted to go in. I let him know the food was good, that it would be worth it to overlook the outside, and he was pleased but, come on! That's the type of stuff that keeps people from wanting to eat there.

Rotten baked beans that reeked and had a bubbly feel in the mouth. The manager refused to think it was his food and took 2-3 days to get a response and still refused to accept responsibility

The ribs were solid. I wish they had a little more flavor but they were very tender. The bbq sauce made up for the lack of flavor on the ribs.

This rib joint is a God send to Eden Prairie. Smoked ribs and chicken wings are always good. I've had their ribs many times over the years. Tender but firm with a sweet Smokey taste that makes them one of the best in the twin cities. The battle for goos BBQ is real people and Bakers delivers. The location is tucked away from the main road but not hard to find.

The beans and potato salad are good traditional sides and they are done well. It was sad the closed for a few weeks for COVID and really happy they made it back into business.

This place used to be delicious. We used to love coming and getting food. Recently, however, things have severely changed. Last time we visited they had their ribs frozen in plastic wrap. They put this in the microwave with the plastic wrap still on (mind you, they used to cook them fresh on a grill). It tasted cold, plasticky and sub-par, not to mention the microwaving technique didn't melt a lot of fat off like a grill does. We were all disappointed - and a little grossed out - with this downgrade and we haven't been there since.

Y'all! I only tried this place based on reviews. Being from the south, I'm a BBQ snob. I am so glad I tried this place. So damn delicious, smack your momma good, even. (Don't do that.) I had the pulled pork with baked beans. Perfection! The staff was super friendly, helpful. I enjoyed chatting with them while getting my grub. I don't live in the area but this will be my go-to when I'm there on business.

I was looking around for a dinner place after a day of corporate meals and long meetings. I'm from the South so I wasn't really thinking MN would have some ribs, but I had the hankering to give it shot. I am so glad I did. Baker's Ribs was, as the title says, as good as it gets. I travel all over the SE US and love ribs, so I've had a ton.

These were the best I've had in as long as I can remember. I ordered the half rack of spare ribs as the forgettable lunch was still gurgling some. I asked for side recommendations and had to choose between rice/beans (which looked great), some cold sides (which looked good but wasn't tracking) and a baked potato. I went carb load with the potato.

The ribs were, in a word, perfect. Super meaty, just the perfect texture (not mushy or fall off the bone - just a little tug and the meat comes sliding off) and smokey goodness. They provide a warm bottle of sauce which, regrettably, I didn't even try. There was some seasoning, a combination of magic, wow, and Mmmmm dusted on the ribs making the sauce superfluous. Rib purists, please don't get upset with me.

These were so meaty and the portion so large, I was unable to get the last one down. I didn't want to force it as it would have tainted the cloud nine of meaty goodness I was living on. I didn't see any beer or pay that much attention to other things. I was focused on the meat and glad I did. Go to the strip mall storefront and don't get lead astray by weird Siri directions which bring you to the back. Trust me - it will be as good as it gets.
