Somehow the fries weren't mushy. This isn't something I'd normally get, but I was surprised at how good it was. I went with a group and was also able to try the coleslaw, sticky rice, and pulled pork. The meat was juicy and amazing. I love the coleslaw and even compared it to other coveted coleslaw - this is my favorite. I'm picky with bbq sauce, but their bbq sauce hit hard. They have a small parking lot - maybe 3 or 4 spots, but there is plenty of street parking. Also worth mentioning you order up front and get a number. They will bring out your food, but you will need to grab your beverage, plates/napkins, and utensils. Hands down better than any other famous and/or Dave you may know.

Sensational ribs! We…read morehave been customers of St. Paul's location of Firebox BBQ for several years. Last night we placed a take out order as usual. I love walking into the restaurant as the bbq aromas just waft over you in the entrance and get the taste buds and salivary glands woken up and raring to get to work. We both ordered Rib plates. The menu list that as 4-5 ribs, Texas toast and 2 sides of your choice. We both received 5 ribs. I went with Mac n Cheese and Collard Greens. Let me focus on the star of the show - the RIBS! We've always enjoyed them but these were truly outstanding! Tender, meaty and a perfect kiss of smoke. Everything you hope a rib would deliver! The FireBox sauce was perfect as always and only boosted the experience. The sides were great as always. I ended up calling back to the restaurant and spoke to a staff member and share our feedback on how fantastic the ribs were tonight! I encourage everyone to give Firebox a first try and or a revisit.

I gotta stop believing yelp reviews. People want quantity over quality on this app and this place…read moreis a great example of that. There's nothing redeeming about this place. Yelp reviewers have no taste. They just want a slab of meat and they're all happy. I should've tried their sauces before I bought anything. The barbecue sauces were all ketchup based. They added in too much apple cider vinegar and the sauces were too viscous and runny. A good barbecue sauce has molasses, brown sugar, and tomato sauce not ketchup and white sugar which is what these were made from. I'd have been better off bringing in my own bottle of barbecue sauce from the grocery store. We ordered a half rack 6 ribs and two sides of coleslaw and potato salad. The coleslaw was runny and too liquidy. It had zero buttermilk in it. It was also made with apple cider vinegar which is a HUGE NO, NO. The potato salad was meh. No mustard. Just white potato salad. THEY HAD NO CORNBREAD! How much does a box of jiffy cornbread cost?!? Seriously, this business should NOT be in the rib business. The half rack of ribs: DRY, DRY, DRY. They were baked way too long. The ribs were flavor-less. I would not go back again. It's a huge shame for a rib joint to be this bad. The ribs were such a huge disappointment. Not even a smoked flavor was ever detected. I hope they don't go down the liquid smoke route either because that's just driving off a cliff at that point. I'm DONE listening to yelp reviews. Yall have no clue what you're talking about.

I root for this place to succeed because it's close to my house and, when everything is on point,…read moreit's really good. But so far in my experience things are routinely kind of rough. This is a small neighborhood barbeque joint with a few small tables inside, but is basically a takeout place. (As I write this, in February 2021, all eateries are still basically takeout places. For me at least.) I think they opened last fall, and their menu and operating hours seem to be in flux. One time they seemed to be closed on a day they were supposed to be open; recently I had trouble just getting them on the phone. This last time I waited for my order for 40 minutes, and they were out of lots of things. So I think they just don't have the staff to keep up at the moment. And that might be because their meat and sauces are super tasty and people have figured that out! I've gotten pulled pork and beef briscuit dishes from them, and they are consistently super tender and flavorful, plus the prices are pretty fair. It's why I'm going to keep coming here, hopeful that the experience will settle into something more reliable. If they had more people working, they could solve some of these problems.

I paid $18 for a beef cheek sandwich, but I guess cows only have 2 of them, so they could be expensive to buy. The order taker was super nice and we went inside the liquor store that was adjacent to the food truck and got two IPAs. You are able to buy single cans, a solid option with a nice BBQ food truck right next to you. They are all Minnesota beers too. The beef cheek sandwich came out in about five minutes and it was one of the best sandwiches I have ever had. It reminded me of a burnt ends sandwich. The sauce wasn't too spicy, nor too sweet. It was just delicious. The fat and meat just melded together like a Reese's peanut butter cup. Every bite was like delectable perfection. The owner came out to check on us a few times and was super friendly. This is a must try. Again. Not cheap, but you are eating at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse of BBQ food trucks if you are willing to pay for it.

The drive wasn't the best because of a nasty storm coming in, but once we arrived, the atmosphere inside made up for it. The place was nicely decorated and had a lot more seating than it looked like from the outside. We were greeted right away and shown to our table. As the rain slowed down, more people started coming in, and I noticed they also had quite a few Uber Eats calls because several drivers stop by for orders while we were there, so takeout seems to be pretty common there too. We started off with the soft shell crab and cream puffs. My wife wanted me to try several of the dishes she ordered, some of which I'd never had before. A lot of it wasn't really my style, but it still tasted pretty good just different from what I'm used to. The only hiccup was getting napkins; once the place got busy, I ended up having to walk up to the counter to grab some myself. Other than that small issue, we really enjoyed our visit and I plan on coming back to try some of the other dishes on the menu.

I had a very poor experience at The Cajun House. I had just flown in and wanted to grab something…read morequick on the way home, and The Cajun House had been something we've considered trying for some time. We walked in to see a staff member who clearly didn't enjoy his job. He didn't greet us and made us approach him before he asked how many people would be dining. Looking into the dining room, there were several empty tables that had not been bused, and there was only one other party dining at the time. This was already a red flag, indicating that the staff didn't care about the cleanliness or appearance of the dining room. The menu is very extensive. From the outside, it isn't clear, but The Cajun House is a Chinese restaurant first and a seafood boil restaurant second. The first page of the menu is entirely dedicated to dim sum. I was surprised to see that they were serving dim sum late at night, and I questioned how fresh everything was. Flipping through the menu, about two out of ten pages were dedicated to seafood boil or Cajun dishes, which was a bit unexpected given the restaurant's name. Anyway, we decided to go for the seafood boil, and ordered a side of beef skewers to try. From former reviews and pictures, it seemed like these were the most popular items. The beef skewers came out first. One order was 13 dollars and came with five skewers. This was on the pricier side but not unfair. We split the dish. The beef had decent flavor, although nothing crazy. It wasn't fatty, but it had some seasoning on it to make up for the lack of quality. The beef was also relatively tender. It had a bit of a chew, but in a pleasant way, pretty much the texture I would look for in a noodle or fried rice dish. I was somewhat satisfied with this dish. For the seafood boil, we went for the combo. Every combo comes with two potatoes and two pieces of corn by default, each of which can be added on for two dollars each, a sauce, and a selection of two different seafood components. We went for the shrimp and "crab cluster" for an additional three dollars, adding on a dozen sausage slices and the garlic butter sauce. Right off the bat, it was easy to tell that the seafood wasn't very fresh. Both the crab and shrimp had a weird, off-putting flavor and aftertaste. It was slightly fishy and didn't sit well on my palette. We also weren't given anything to crack the crab shell with. We resorted to just using our teeth and trying our best to pull it apart with our hands, and using the skewer sticks from the beef to push out the meat. The garlic butter sauce wasn't great either. The meat wasn't picking up the sauce very well and retained very little flavor. The highlight for me was the sausage. It was surprisingly smoky and burst with flavor. It picked up some of the sauce, but the flavor I liked definitely came independent of the sauce. The potato and corn were both fine. They had decent texture, especially the corn. The potato was on the mushy side, but still served its purpose. For a lot of our meal, there were no employees in sight. It was impossible to wave anyone down. Our waiter was sitting down out of sight, and the only other worker we saw seemed to be working the back of the house. When we finished our food, it wasn't clear if we were supposed to wait for someone to bring us the check. We waited about five to seven minutes before someone came in to pick up an online order. When our waiter popped out to give the customer their order, we walked up to the front and paid out. We weren't given a check to make sure there weren't any mistakes, and just had to go with what he said. From start to finish, the service was really bad. The only time we got a refill on water was when our food got delivered. Other than that, we were never checked on. It just seemed like our waiter didn't care at all. The dining room was messy and unorganized, and the food was generally mediocre, with the seafood leaving a lot to be desired. There was plenty more on the menu to try, especially the Chinese food, but everything seemed dirty, and I didn't like how I was questioning the cleanliness of the food. This combined with the very unpleasant experience I had with the service will definitely discourage me from coming back.
