Best Barbecue Restaurants in Fridley

Thank you Butcher’s Tale for making my birthday so special! First off, our server Meesh (sp) was an absolute gem. She was friendly, knowledgeable and her attitude was confident yet casual. As a queer couple, sometimes we get treated weirdly but Meesh was absolutely excellent and welcoming. The server assistants were also top notch and very attentive. The food was immaculate! The pork chop was roughly the size of a king mattress and I have no idea how the kitchen managed to cook such a mighty chop to absolute perfection. My steak was one of the best I’ve ever had and the key lime pie almost made me cry tears of joy, and yet I despair I will never again find its equal. We will we back! Also I don’t drink anymore but the whiskey list was very impressive! Thank you everyone!

We went on a Sunday for lunch with my parents. My mom doesn’t eat meat and she loved the salad bar options. She also got salmon cooked to order. We had the standard menu and had a wonderful array of meat choices. The service was excellent! The staff was attentive and asked us what we wanted more of (meat selection). We will definitely come back!

Love love the experience!!! The Gauchos the best of the best, there is a guy called Victor, OMG his service is exceptional, if I ever have a restaurant he will be the first person I would hire!

This was a first experience for me and I sat in Char Bar. The waitress was great, she was accommodating and attentive. I throughly enjoyed the drinks. I had the teaches of peach drink and it was so well made and perfectly balanced. I ordered the blue crab beignets and they were absolutely delicious, so light fluffy and full of crab meat. For my entree I ordered the salmon and it was crispy on the outside and so soft and well cooked on the inside. The flavor was just right. I would definitely dine here again. There’s much more on the menu I’d like to try.

This was our first time at this restaurant, which was suggested by our adult son to celebrate his birthday. It was outstanding! The food was delicious, and the service was fantastic. Our server make excellent alternative suggestions to help with a food sensitivity. It was not inexpensive - we did the course menu experience & added 2 bottles of flavored sake - but worth it for the celebratory experience. I would definitely recommend and would be happy to stop in & sit at the bar and enjoy just the Beef Sukiyaki Bibimbap! It was a favorite of everyone at the table.
