We order from Black Market because the food is amazing. Yesterday we hosted a 40 person couples baby shower (BaByQ) and served Black Market brisket, ribs, mac&cheese and of coyrse their amazing beans (almost more meat than beans). The shower was successful and people raved about the food!! Jill was so wonderful to work with throughout the process. What an extraordinary experience!!

My husband and I are from Texas and are particular about our BBQ. This is not Texas bbq, but it is unbelievably fantastic. Great crust, perfect marbling, just fantastic. I always over order but I WAY outdid it this time because those beef ribs were so huge. The brisket was so moist. We won’t be going to any other bbq place in twin cities. Loyal to Black Market. Plus the people we SO friendly.

A lot of constructions and no signs so it can be easily missed. Just make sure to follow your gps when you're getting close! The parking lot is a bit tight with limited parking spaces so be careful going in and out. Once you get out of your car you'll be welcomed with a LIVE BAND! Yes a live band and it blew me by surprise! There are tables there too for you to sit and enjoy your food but I ended up bringing mine home.The food was piping hot when I picked it up and even after a 20+ min drive home the rib was still really hot! I got the meat pack which came with beans with pulled pork, beef brisket and a rack of ribs. The ribs had a good seasoning on it but the beef brisket was dry. I wish it would've came with some sort of sauce to make it taste better. The beans were just ok...it had a pasty texture since it was mixed in with the pulled pork. If I return next time I would probably just go with the rack of ribs.

One of the better BBQ spots in the Twin Cities. A bit pricy. I had the beef brisket and beef ribs. Brisket was good. Wish it had a bit more balance on the fat to meat ratio, but all in all pretty good. Beef ribs were a bit tough.

We had the ribs and beans for take out. Ribs done perfectly as you had to tug just a little to get the meat off the bones. The best bbq ribs we have had and we have been to most of them. Loaded beans flavorful and had plenty of meat and a mild sauce to go with. If your looking for great food try them out. of course food is very subjective but met our expectations. We will go again in a few weeks and try the brisket. If that is good will up it to 5 stars.
Best meat I've ever had by far!! We got the beef brisket and the pork shoulder and I liked the beef the best. Even the environment was fun! A friendly employee got my meet for me and there were some plastic tables and chairs to sit at (though only a few, might have to bring your own?). It had a fun community feel and a live band. We'll have to come back again!

If you're looking for the best BBQ MN has to offer, this is the place. I have eaten at many BBQ places in MN and they don't get close to what Black Market StP has.I took a chance and got the Meat Pack, which includes a full rack of baby back ribs, 1.5 pounds of brisket, and big helping of their smoked beans, which also has a combination of pork shoulder burnt ends and smoked brisket.Everything tasted fantastic and smoked exceptionally well. Ribs were fall off the bone, perfectly seasoned and balanced, and best part is I didn't even need to put additional BBQ sauce. Brisket was juicy and fatty as how I like it, but the smoked beans are something special. Hands down also the best smoked beans I had.Give this place a try, I don't believe you will be disappointed.

The brisket is awesome! As well as the beef short ribs! Fall off the bone tender, not smothered in sauce just a nice dry rub, perfect!

On a cold November night we picked up amazing ribs (beef and pork) from Black Market. Because of the cold we didn't hang around outside so atmosphere rating is purely food truck vibe. The love these people have for what they do really shows in the quality of the food. Can't wait to do this again.

Heard about these guys on PBS and decided to give them a try for my wife’s birthday dinner. The staff and food both exceeded our lofty expectations. Incredibly, the food was possibly even better after reheating leftovers in oven. Heck, we even let our baby try meat for the first time and I suspect it’s his new favorite food :) Hope to dine in next time to enjoy some live music.
