"Located just off Hiawatha on 38th Street, Northbound Smokehouse is serving a diverse menu of barbecue favorites, smokehouse sandwiches and award-winning apple wood-smoked jumbo chicken wings. Show up Friday through Sunday to score the weekend brisket, 1 pound of the smokehouse’s best barbecue effort. Don’t miss the patio, which was voted one of Minnesota’s best in 2024 by the Star Tribune. Orders can be placed online for takeout." - Eli Radtke
