"C&G's smokes a mean rib, but it's the brisket sandwich that calls the regulars back time and again. Be sure to grab an order of the Hot Water Bread, made from a secret family recipe. The cornmeal comes boiled, fried, and served as a hot, crispy patty." - Eater Staff

Unfussy, simple, hole-in-the-wall BBQ joint. But seriously, those are the best kind. This no-frills place still serves up some delicious BBQ. The proprietor helpfully gave me a tour of the menu before I ordered. Time spent from placing my solo order to eating was around 10 minutes. The rib tips were perfectly smoked and generously dressed in a tasty sauce with a perfect amount of zing/heat. The fried mushrooms were fine but lacked much flavor in the seasoning and breading. Still, the generous portion size made me happy. Taking a quick gander at the glowing articles posted on the walls, the accolades make sense. There are plenty of great options and I’m looking forward to repeat visits.

Detroit Ribs were TENDER & FABULOUS! Greens & Hot Water Bread (not sweet) were Good! Baked Beans & Banana Pudding were Good! Several Framed Magazine/Newspaper Award Winning/Best Articles on the Walls! Service was Respectful but a bit slow through no fault of his own! Call Ahead! 📞

This place has the best catfish I've ever eaten. And I don't know what all goes into their banana pudding but it is magical and I'm officially addicted. Mac and Cheese was good, it wasn't trying to be anything crazy, just good Mac and Cheese. Their ribs and brisket were alright but it's the fish and that pudding I'll be back for as well as to try some more things.

I had the pulled pork at closing time. Smokey flavor was phenomenal. The meat was a little dry but it was closing time. The coleslaw was coarse cut sweet with just a touch of heat. Will definitely order again. Atmosphere was perfect for a small Is mostly take out barbecue joint. Go give them a try.

1st timeer tonight. This is one of those places you walk into and know it's going to be good. Sort of a whole in the wall but the ribs are probably Thr best I have had in Minnesota. Prices are very reasonable. Sauce was great. Definately Wil go again and try something else with the ribs.

Absolutely sublime, melt in your mouth BBQ. My boyfriend and I were so impressed by the quality of the food, I truly don't think I've had a better chicken thigh or drummy before. Tons of savory flavor!
