LOVED my pulled pork sandwich and Jimmy beans! It was so fun to try each of the different flavorful BBQ sauces; my fav was Southern Gal. Super casual with cafeteria style ordering. It was quick and perfect for a quick lunch hour. read more

Just went for the first time last night! Was originally going to Texas Roadhouse, but they were queuing for over an hour for 2 people, so I decided to try something new. I saw people talking about the brisket and ribs so I knew what I wanted to try walking in. When we got up to the register, they were SOLD OUT of brisket and ribs. When we were told that, the people behind us just turned around and left. However, the lady taking our order was super nice about it and suggested some other items for us to try. In its place, we ordered the brisket burnt ends and pulled pork. I also got the creamy cole slaw, Mac and cheese, and fries. All the sides were SO good. Our actual food was good as well. The pulled pork comes out with no sauce so you can put however much you personally like. The burnt ends did have sauce, and it's on the sweeter side, so it would pair well with the friends or Mac and cheese. I'd definitely come back to try the brisket and ribs, but for now, I'd have to ding off a star for being out of their most popular items by 6PM. read more

Old Southern BBQ Smokehouse - fitting! From the moment we opened our car door, the smoky smell pulled you right in. The food was so fresh and delicious, and the portion sizes were great. I especially loved the open kitchen concept...it was neat to watch them prepare the line-up of meats! I loved reading the "testament" in the entryway. The story of Jimmie and Iris was so sweet, and I appreciated how their legacy is carried throughout the restaurant, especially in the sauce lineup. I ordered the two-meat combo with ribs and pulled pork. The ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender and packed with flavor. I paired them with "Dixie Red" which was my fav! For sides, the platter came with a cornbread muffin and it was so good I ended up ordering a second (Oops). It had what tasted like a butter or honey butter drizzle and YIKES it was dangerously good. The employees were super friendly and helpful. One in particular greeted every single person coming in and leaving. Loved that. You just don't see that kind of service as often anymore. The restaurant itself was very clean, with plenty of seating available. Fun fact, they also have a food truck, which gives me hope since the location isn't super close to home. Maybe I'll catch them around town, or even bring them in for one of the employee events I help lead! read more

From the moment you walk in, the smell of good food and BBQ smoke hits you. Absolutely divine! The menu isn't crazy big, which is great since that means they can focus! All of the food we got was hot and very fresh tasting. A good selection of sauces available on the table too. You can see the wood pile right inside the store, as well as the smokers, they have an open view kitchen, so you can see the pitmasters working on the food. Very fun to watch! If you love BBQ, this place is definitely worth it to check out. Be warned, you WILL leave smelling like BBQ...which is NOT a bad thing! read more

Old Southern BBQ Smokehouse - Restaurant - Barbeque Near Me - Shakopee, Minnesota

Got take out. Portions have shrunk a tad since my last order from here. Maybe a year back? To quote Mr. Cash, I've been everywhere and i find this solid 'Q. 'twas hot when I picked it up. Sides were good. The sausage is good 'n spicy. Chicken was moist. This is my current 'splurge' takeout puck. read more

This place slaps every single time. The Chicago Blue BBQ sauce is delicious (all of their sauces are so dynamic and different). The wings are perfectly smoked, tender, juicy. I always get the Soul Bowl and customize with Mac and cheese and rice as the base. Their mashed potatoes aren't my favorite (I like super buttery seasoned taters and these are more plain as a base) but they're still tasty just not my favorite. You have to add a muffin top, they're perfectly soft in the middle with crispy edges and a honey butter on top. The Hog Wild sandwich is also top tier. Everything is just comforting, warm, delicious, and feels like a home made bbq in the backyard. My favorite lunch spot in Shakopee, hands down! I always end up doing delivery from DoorDash so I'm not sure what the actual restaurant is like but my food is always fast and hot upon delivery! (Also look for deals on DoorDash, sometimes their items are 20% off) read more

Went here because it was near where I was. Had been there previously without stellar results. I wish I could say my impression changed. I ordered a Southern Sampler and Cornbread Muffin Tops to have leftovers. The gentleman who took my order was very nice and ready to make recommendations. Seating was available but tables are close together. I was able to easily hear the audio of the person's phone sitting next to me later on in my visit. The food came out came out quicker than expected and he brought asking a container for my leftovers he knew I'd planned for. I ate the chicken first because I knew I didn't want to have leftover chicken. It was too dry for my liking. As were most of the others except the pulled pork. I might just be used to my smoked meats having a different flavor because they had plenty of customers who were more than happy with what they had. Given that it was a Monday night early, the flow of customers was pretty consistent and you could tell most were repeat customers. I tried the recommended sauces for each of the meats and they were either too sweet or too salty. The descriptions weren't helpful as I didn't know which ones were mustard-based or vinegar-based or what made them tangy, zesty, or whatever adjective they used to describe the sauce. I did enjoy the muffin tops. I started using them to eat with the meats and sauces. Not sure if butter was available to be served with them. Would've been nice. Not that they needed it, it's just something about buttering a piece of cornbread. The place is set up so that you order and pay upfront, find your table, and then they will bring your food to you. When you're done, you take your trays and silverware, and put them at the proper receptacles near the exit. Again, the people I interacted with were very nice and accommodating. read more

You walk in and order at the counter and seat yourself. It's a small dining room but there are smokers and a counter right in the dining room itself. Kind of reminds you of a Famous Dave's with the BBQ signs on the wall. Guy who "greeted" us was clearly ready to go home but the other two guys were nice enough. I had the brisket platter and we had the 1/2 rack. Both excellent, Mac and Cheese was our side and it came with like Panko bread crumbs. Pretty good. read more

Build a bowl bbq. Lots of free toppings and a choice of premium toppings you can add. I feel like it's kind of the equivalent of a bbq Chipotle bowl, so if you don't like it, it's your own fault. I will get some version of this again. I went with Chicago Blue sauce which I felt had a nice balance of flavors. Yeah, I'll probably get another one tomorrow, cheers read more

On a cold winter day, some southern bbq seemed like just the thing to try. I had never been here before, but when I walked in and saw the stacks of wood and smokers, I knew it should be good. I wasn't very hungry so I ordered the snack size wings with buffalo sauce and order of Jimmy Beans. The snack wings were amazing. It was 5 wings that had been smoked and then tossed in buffalo sauce. The buffalo sauce was amazing...not too spicy, slightly sweet, and allowed the smoke flavor through as well. They were some of the best wings I have ever had. The jimmy beans were okay. I prefer my beans to have a thicker sauce. These were a little watery but were loaded with chunks of meat. I can't wait to go back when I am hungrier to try other meats...but I'll definitely get some wings too! read more

We were on the south side of the cities when we decided to look for a spot we hadn't tried before for a quick late lunch. Found old southern BBQ and headed that way. It was around 2pm on a Saturday and there was only 3-4 parties that were there during our time. It's in a strip mall so plenty of parking. Inside it's counter service so after taking a Quick Look we settled in the bbq bowl and wings. The bbq bowl was delicious! I only wish that it was a little more food for the price. Wings were tasty as well. Decor was nice with a semi open kitchen, lots of southern bbq themed items and a smoker. If I was in the area, I'd visit again and check out a few other offerings on the menu. read more

Old Southern BBQ located in Shakopee is in a strip mall, so there are many available parking spots! The restaurant has bistro lights and lit up signs everywhere and it really sets the vibe. You order at the counter and then sit down and they bring the food out to you. They have wine slushies, some beers on tap, sweet tea, lemonade and some fountain sodas. The service was pretty fast! We got the 2 meat platter (brisket & Ribs) with mac and cheese, build your own bowl, and half rack of ribs with mashed potatoes and a side of coleslaw as well. Everything except for the bowl also came with the corn bread muffin top. On the 2 meat platter, we personally preferred the brisket and the mac and cheese was also delicious and cheesy and creamy. The ribs were better with the half rack, they were a lot more meaty than the ones that came with our two meat platter! Mashed potatoes were pretty good, but preferred the mac. The coleslaw really surprised me, it was creamy and had a kick at the end. I would definitely get the mac and the coleslaw again! The bowl was fun to put all your favs in one bowl! We got half mashed potatoes, half mac and cheese with pulled pork and a bunch of the toppings. some of the items in the bowl seemed dry, but we got ranch and BBQ sour cream on the side and then also all the BBQ sauces that are at the table made it less dry! I loved all the BBQ sauces and it was fun to try multiple. I would definitely come back! read more

I don't have pictures unfortunately but I have ordered delivery from here a few times. Usually I get the 4 meat plates with pulled pork, hot link, chicken, and brisket and I love it! The hot link is always so good with a little bit of heat and just a perfect snap when you bite into it. The chicken is never dry and has a nice smoky flavor. The brisket is good (not always super moist) but for the most part good. I love the pulled pork but there was one time that I got it that it was a little fatty. I also love their ribs, they have that little bit of pull that you crave and have an amazing, flavorful dry rub! I have also tried both of the coleslaws and I love both for different reasons. Definitely a to-go to spot for good BBQ delivery! read more

The basics are all here - good smoke to the meats, great flavor and tenderness, meat falls of the ribs and the brisket is a nice thick cut. Fries and slaw were quality sides, not throw ins. The cornbread muffin top on the platter was delish. I do worry of they will make it in Shakopee, seemed pretty slow for a Tuesday night; let's hope they do. Old South is much better than Famous Dave's ever was, even if short of the mark set by the BBQ of the world, Kansas City. read more

Great food and great service!!! Best BBQ I've had in MN. The sauce is amazing. I suggest all of them! Best potato salad!

Update: I loved the wings here two weeks ago and I was craving them so I ordered them again. Unfortunately, this time they were burned and so dry even sauce could not save them. I struggled with two and threw the rest in the trash. Really disappointing. read more

I thought the Ribs were very good, a bit dry, but good. The Spicy Coleslaw was very good and the Mac and cheese was good , ok but not creamy enough, the bread crumbs crunch was a nice touch. The Muffin Top was a 5... The cucumber on the tray left a lot to be desired... but I'd just eliminate it! The Service was good, the Restaurant clean the bathroom well taken care of! All in all it was a good experience. I'd say 4.25..... I think it is almost as good as Famous Dave's if not even! read more

Most people love this place and this was my first time. The other gals I ate with enjoyed and liked their food. My shredded beef tacos came cold. Ice cold. I thought maybe it was a mistake? Aren't tacos supposed be hot? The cheese was still intact. Lol. Anyway I would give them another try the sauces were great and they had a lot of options... but dude just don't sell cold tacos to anybody. read more

Joe is the grill master and manager. He's amazing. Fast food environment and a ten. We go a couple times a month. Great takeout as well.

I'm from the deep south, where BBQ is king. So I didn't have much hope for this place. But we wanted some BBQ and decided to give this place a try. Wow... I was pleasantly surprised. My wife got the ribs. While they didn't fall off the bone, they were delicious. Great flavor on the dry rub and very generous portion for the 1/2 slab. She also got the Jimmy beans and they were great. Probably one of the best baked bean concoctions I've had. I got the smoked wings. Oh boy, again the dry rub was great and excellent smoke job. The Mac n cheese, loved it.. The service was friendly and fast. The atmosphere made me think I was back home in the south. Give them a shot read more

It's amazing. Ribs and sausage are awesome. Creamed corn and beans are my favorite sides. Mac n cheese is better than most. Good prices. Clean interior. As good as a lot of BBQ I have had in KC, St. Louis and Texas. Seriously. read more

Neat little joint that has damn good ribs. The service was very nice and explained everything as my son and I said we were first timers. The menu is pretty much an a la cart selection with enough to chose from and the various sauces to try. read more

Service is awesome but the food is even better all the different bbq sauces you have to choose from and a decent amount of meat depending on what you're ordering but personally I've always been SATISFIED read more

This is the absolute worst bbq I have ever ordered. Brisket taste like roast. Ribs are dry and hard. Pulled pork has zero flavor. The Mac and cheese even taste terrible and the worst part of all my daughter had a hair in her potato salad. Threw all the food in the garbage, where it belongs. This is less than 1 star food. They should be embarrassed to even sell this food read more

Amazing for me being a former Famous Dave's ee. Better pricing, fair portions. Heidi the GM greeted us, took our order, table visit was nice and we got to sample a future dessert. yum! I really liked the ribs, great smoke, very meaty. I rec'd 3 in my combo dinner with brisket. Also good. A small corn muffin top comes along and my slaw side was creamy, crunchy and fresh like all the food. So happy to have a NEW BBQ place. $40 for 2 including a tip! Oh- all 4 sauces rock in their own distinct way. Impressed! read more

Me and my family come here a lot to grab a quick bite. Very good food for what it's worth!

Ordering online is easy and the employees are helpful. They didn't have beef ribs so I couldn't give them 5 stars.

The food is so good! Ribs reminds me of Tennessee smoke house! Meat falls off the bone! Spicy coleslaw and pickle potato salad delicious welcome to Shakopee MN read more

BBQ is just about average. Portions are small for the price, and they are stingy with their ho-hum BBQ sauce (asked for a sweet and a tangy with a half slab of ribs to go and got a 1/4 cup with an odd name when most places give 1/2 pint or more) read more

The brisket is amazing and so are the wings. Everything was very clean. Very friendly service. A great place for some BBQ.
