A word from Rudolphs BBQ
The scene at Rudolphs is legendary! Rudolphs has been the Twin Cities most honored bar-b-que producer for over 30 years and twice named “Best Ribs in America.” This family owned and operated restaurant delivers unrivaled spare ribs that are hand-rubbed with spices and slow cooked in a custom pit
…
and the creamy cole slaw is almost as famous as the ribs. Rudolphs is more than just the ribs and cole slaw. Choose from a menu that includes baby back ribs, beef brisket, one pound center-cut pork chops, steaks, sandwiches and the perennial Minnesota favorite, Walleye. Spend time in the comfortable lounge or on one of two outdoor patios while enjoying two great Happy Hours daily with 2 for 1 domestic taps house wine and well drinks. Private Dinning, Rib Ticklin’ Catering and Takeout also available.

If you come to a BBQ, you should get BBQ and their baby back ribs are tender (not quite fall-off-the-bone, but quite good nonetheless)and their sauce, finger-licking. What is outstanding is their corn bread and drench it with the maple butter, it is absolutely yummy.

Great service from the minute we walked in the door to when we left. The food was outstanding. The pan of cornbread is a must! Both mine and my husband's ribs were most and meaty, and my barbeque chicken was delicious! We went to Rudolph's for a special night out - and it definitely was. We'll be back!
