Our Guestbook
“ Regularly frequent Baker’s Ribs for the smoked meats and friendly staff. All the meats are exceptionally juicy and delicious— ribs, sliced brisket, ham, chicken. If you’ve not been here before, I highly recommend the meat platters (2- or 3-meats) to figure out which meats you find most enjoyable! The tomato and dirty rice are delicious sides! Once you find what you like, there’s options to purchase the meats by the pound. Sometimes the chicken wings are unavailable or sold out but tonight they were available and absolutely delicious! Smokey with a hint of spice! No sauce was even needed even though ranch or blue cheese was offered. ”
“ The food was delicious and they were understandably busy. Most people seemed to be getting take out but they did have an ample seating area. The entry area was a bit cramped and it was difficult to maunver from the ordering counter to the register. There were shelves and shelves of pig figurines in the entry area. They were not overly dusty, but they made the entry feel cluttered and took up space that could have been used for standing room. We ordered two full slabs of ribs with spicy sauce, baked beans, and cole slaw. The ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender, smokey, and delicious. The spicy BBQ sauce was not super spicy (had a nice zip to it), and not too sweet - very good! I like a little more heat, but flavor is more important. The baked beans were very good and the coleslaw was fantastic! I would absolutely order food again as take out! ”
“ Overall best BBQ place I have tried in MN !! ”
“ I have been going to Baker's Ribs in Eden Prairie for years, and I've only had one bad experience. I went on a Monday and forgot that they are closed Mondays and Tuesdays! They are one of the best barbecue joints I've ever been to (certainly one of the very best in Minnesota) and they are incongruously situated in a tiny mall between a Leeann Chin and a Great Clips. This is another hidden gem that requires an 11:30 arrival if you want a prime table and don't want to stand in line. The line moves quickly, you are served on styrofoam plates, it's nothing fancy. But. It's amazing. The food is prepared in front of you. You watch as your smoked sausage, brisket, and ribs are cut and sauced in the kitchen behind the counter. The sauces are fresh and flavorful (go for the hot!). This is everything you want a small, clean, local restaurant to be. The wood for the smokers is stacked in the back hallway in case you were worried that you aren't in for authenticity! ”
“ We love Texas BBQ and Baker's Ribs did not disappoint us. I had brisket, ribs, dirty rice & coleslaw. My husband had ribs, turkey, dirty rice and beans... both plates came with Texas toast. This is our first BBQ restaurant in the Twin Cities area that we felt the meat AND the sides were to our taste and that we find delicious. (We've only been residents of Minnesota for 9 months.) The only downside is that we're about 30 minutes away from the restaurant. However, we are willing to travel here for this BBQ. Thank you Baker's Ribs for our delicious meal. Something Baker's does differently is they keep their BBQ sauce warm. That is an excellent idea....yummy! ”
“ If you want some good old BBQ this is a great place to try out. The staff are very helpful and kind. There are a ton of options and I need to go back to try more. I got the chopped brisket sandwich with baked beans and a Caesar salad and wow it was all absolutely fantastic. You can also do bulk orders for parties!! ”
“ Best barbecue place in Minnesota easily. I absolutely go bananas for the Texas style brisket. It’s legit. Also love the potato salad and beans. ”
“ If you are looking for wings/ fried chicken/ boneless wings- this place is a MUST! ! Even My wing snob of an husband is obsessed. Ordered for takeout but restaurant has plenty of tables to sit and dine. Will definitely make this a part of our regular go-to restaurants. ”
