Great location next to Bahaus Brew Labs with plenty of shaded/covered seating and free parking. Specialty menu items appear to change regularly. We ordered a spread at the window and they call your name when the orders done, easy. Ribs were great, Chicken Caesar Sando was terrific, while the tortillas on the Pulled Pork Tacos was underwhelming. Great setup – check it out.

Oh boy, where do I even begin with ABC at BauHaus Brewery. This apparently, with terrible branding, stands for Animales BBQ Co. Yes, it is mis-spelled apparently on purpose. As a self-proclaimed warrior against corporate greed, it pains me to see such a pitiful attempt at culinary satisfaction. Let me regale you with my recent gastronomic misadventure at this sorry excuse for a food truck.

The ribs!! Definitely the ribs! Everything is so good, but the ribs really cause you the absolute need to return again and again. We love the tacos, pork shoulder, the hot links are amazing, banana pudding to go (can’t eat anymore after those ribs…) and every side item is thoughtfully crafted (the Mac and cheese is perfectly simple, however. If you want wild Mac and cheese, get the bowl ).

I love bbq food it is my favorite food. Two weeks ago I made pork ribs in my oven. Put a Memphis rub on and then later some sauce. They were full of flavor.

Some of the best BBQ in MN hands down. You know it’s good when Texas Monthly does a feature on it.

I’ve tried to go to Animales a few times but their hours are a little odd and they were closed for a weekend once (make sure you look at their hours online). The pics I see on Instagram are crazy so I’m glad I finally got to stop in. I got a Meat Tornado, which is pretty much what it sounds like. The tornado was delicious and it let me sample a bunch of different meats all in one sandwich. I’d recommend stopping by if you’re in the area. If it helps you decide to go it’s also connected to a brewery so you won’t be thirsty.

Wow. Had the ribs they did for Valentine’s Day takeout. Amazing. I did not know you could BBQ like this in Minnesota. The ribs were fall of the bone tender with great smoke and a really nice crust. Definitely lived up to the Texas style advertisement.

Pulled pork sandwich was great. Nachos were way to wet and sloppy, need a fork to eat the resulting mess. Ribs were very flavorful but who doesn’t take the silver skin off the back of the ribs before smoking? These guys. Leaving it on reduces smoke absorption and you have to peel it off before eating. Missed a key prep step!

Ok, my 2 star review comes because all of there BBQ is obviously cooked on a propane cooker, there was no smoke flavor no smoke ring at all. What they do is heat there BBQ in a smoker to make you think they really cook in a smoker. People who don’t know, just don’t know… I ordered the ribs, chopped pork, by the way cooked either in water or propane cooker absolutely no flavor at all. The pork belly was the worst I’ve ever had texture was horrible, gray in color and covered in grease. I’ve been all over the US for good BBQ and this is not one of them, far from it. I also think the reason they put slaw and pickles on the sandwiches is the meat has ZERO flavor. I’m not sure of the 4.6 star rating and don’t care but I wouldn’t waste my money again on there food. People were friendly. Sorry, won’t be back. My 2 star is because I feel bad giving anyone a 1.
