The fabled rooster is my go-to option in Graze. I am a fan of BBQ and they do deliver on that. FOOD: pretty good for barbecue in the TC area. I think it probably would rank above average in the area. AMBIANCE: graze is a fun spot, but do expect noise and crowds during rush hours. PARKING: medium-hard... street parking and walking is likely your best bet. Account for this with 10 minutes to find a spot and walk read more

This also was/is a food truck, but find this location inside the Graze Food Hall. Ordering on the computer screen os simplified and quick. Grab your food after receiving a text and pick a spot anywhere inside or outside to eat. There's also an awesome rooftop, so don't forget to go upstairs. My husband's favorite thing to eat here is the brisket roll it's an eggroll filled with brisket goodness- dip it in the magic sauce for the full effect. They have lots of BBQ options and even have pulled jackfruit for vegetarian/vegans who'd like to find here. Enjoy! read more

The Fabled Rooster - Order here - Barbeque Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Plain and simple: Not good barbecue, period. Dry meat and under seasoned sides. Also don't understand a location that serves sparkling water instead of flat. Fortunately, there are other places to get great barbecue. read more

I'm no stranger to The Fabled Rooster, but it had been a while... so I stopped by and treated myself to not one, but two brisket egg rolls... and WOW. You know I love the staff there for sure. These things are flavor bombs wrapped in crispy perfection. The brisket was tender and seasoned just right, and every bite had that perfect crunch-to-filling ratio. The Fabled Rooster is located inside a food hall, which always makes the experience more dynamic. The vibe is lively, the options are endless, and the quality here never misses. It's easy to sleep on familiar places, but this was the perfect reminder that they're still killing it. I'll definitely be back for more! read more

11,000 + mile foodie road trip and one of my favorite blends of flavor. Smoked Wagyu brisket egg roll with pimento cream cheese, fire roasted jalapeno, and secret sauce. The almost minced brisket with the cream cheese made for a great bite. The acid from the pickled onions on the side was a nice balance. Egg roll super crispy. Delicious! read more

Food halls are always an interesting gamble. You hope that it's a group of chefs bringing their best--especially since the people behind Travail put their name on this one. But the reality is they have boots to fill and not all of them will be with winners. This is mediocre BBQ. I should have guessed that, since I didn't see a smoker onsite. Mediocre is better than bad. But if you're looking for a step up over a chain like Famous Dave's, this isn't it. The worst offender was the brisket, which was dry and crumbly and completely absent of any rendered fat. The meat came with what they are trying to pass off as Texas Toast, but it was really just toast. It' wasn't buttery of soft. You can find better at any Raising Cane's. The sausage was uninspired. The pickles were mushy. I ordered kettle chips as a side and when I opened by box, there weren't any. I will say they had a couple of nice sauces. The Carolina Gold and Vinegar sauces were great. But this is not a threat to become the best BBQ place in the area. read more

I recently visited Fabled Rooster at Graze Libations + Provisions for the first time for the first time and was absolutely blown away. From your first encounter at the stall ordering up your food you are greeted by friendly folks that are happy to help you pick out delightful dishes. I ordered a smattering of heavy hitting dishes including: Cajun Fries with Pork | Perfectly Fried Crinkle Cut Fries with Cajun Black Truffle Salt and White Truffle Oil, Covered with Parmigiano and Secret Sauce, and a Heaping of Pulled Pork. Brisket Rolls | Two Egg Rolls Packed Full of Smoked Brisket and Pimento Cheese and Secret Sauce to Dunk Them In. BBQ Plate with Brisket and Smoked Gouda Potato Salad | Melt in Your Mouth Brisket with Texas Toast, Pickled Red Onions, Homemade Bread & Butter Pickles. I got the Cherry Bomb BBQ Sauce and it's the BOMB. The Potato Salad was a balance of Richness and Smokiness. Pulled Pork Sandwich | Juicy Pulled Pork on a Cornbread Hamburger Bun Topped with Homemade Pickles and a Tangy Carolina Gold BBQ Sauce. I would order every dish again and can't wait to make it out again! read more

Went back a second time the other night for more brisket! Service is excellent and guys are friendly! The cook serves up mean plates!! Going back tonight as it's the last night in Minnie.

Really great barbecue along with lip smacking sides. I would especially recommend the fried green tomatoes, homemade creamed corn, and the brisket! The lovely, moist delicious brisket. read more

I am quite disappointed in this place from a food perspective. I found the meat not very flavorful and a tad overcooked, which left parts of the rib tips tougher and dry. However, the different BBQ sauces were tasty and some of them unique in flavors. Which is great because you definitely need the sauce to make the food appetizing. The only positives about this place is that it's in an excellent and convenient location. There is plenty of seating and other activities to do inside the food hall, which makes this a cool spot to visit and enjoy since you have other food options nearby. Also, service is quick and pricing was more than fair for the amount of food you get. read more

These brisket rolls are out of this world. I wasn't expecting something quite as good. Instead, I figured it would be a plain egg roll shell with a bit of brisket - I was dead wrong. These were every bit of incredible and worth the money and wait. (although they aren't that expensive, nor did they take that long). Even if you're not planning on eating a full meal from the Fabled Rooster, I would highly recommend these as an appetizer. read more

Inside Graze, on the first level, you'll find The Fabled Rooster. Their Cajun Truffle Fries immediately caught our eye, and we were sold after we saw the option to add Pulled Pork. The fries were meaty, the Cajun seasoning was flavorful, and the pulled pork was perfectly cooked. The aioli and green onion were a bit overwhelming in places, so we picked around them. We sat on the patio and enjoyed it with a beer/cider. It all paired beautifully to create a wonderful Friday date night experience. read more

As we walked up to the counter we were immediately greeted by a friendly guy who answered any questions we had and explained how most items are homemade and told us how the cheese for the burger only has 3 ingredients (turns out he's the owner). We ordered the brisket plate, collard greens (grandmas recipe), jalapeño cheese sausage link, and the triple cheeseburger... all so delicious! Definitely recommend all of it! The food court itself if a fun concept with plenty of options to choose from and a lot of seating, we enjoyed sitting up top outside. read more

I would definitely have another burger at the Fabled Rooster. It was absolutely perfect and fries were delicious as well, although the portion of fries could have been more with the burger. read more

My wife and I were on our weekly new place for lunch Saturday. I am always open for a new BBQ place and The Fabled Rooster is in a newish Food Hall. We entered the establishment and there were a lot of good selections in here, Hmong Kitchen, tacos, but I was here for BBQ. I ordered the pulled pork plate with the baked beans. It comes with Texas toast, which was probably the best part of the meal. Hey, butter on toast, what could go wrong? The guy behind the counter was super nice and our meal was ready in about five minutes. I ordered a beer across the way for $9! What!!!!!???? $9 for a beer. Well this is the last time I come to this place. Our plate came out and the pork was really dry, and the spicy BBQ sauce wasn't very spicy at all. The food all around wasn't hot at all, barely warm. The beans were not very flavorful at all and they were crunchy? I haven't had many crunchy beans, and they were tepid at best. I really wanted to love this place, but the meat was super dry and crunchy beans. Great guy behind the desk though. read more

we ordered the fried pickles and it's pretty yummy! Got too excited to eat them and did not take any picture. I feel they are a bit understaffed (as we all are, everywhere). We went during the weekend but not peak hour, the line is quiet long and the wait was pretty long for the food to be read. I want to give it one more try for their other food during our next visit. read more

Great location and vibe, good ribs, not so good brisket and potato salad. I liked the ribs, nice and unique flavor (is that coffee in the rub?) and the perfect tenderness of falling off the bone with just a little tug. They were not very hot though nor were they very juicy. They weren't dry though either so depending on what they are trying to do they may be cooked exactly as intended. The brisket unfortunately was very fatty throughout (not just a fat cap), refrigerator cold, not noticeable smoke ring and a small portion. My wife nibbled a few meatier parts but left most of it untouched. Not worth the $17 it set me back. Potato salad was certainly unique and an interesting flavor, but the texture was not to my taste as the dressing was very thick as if made with cream cheese instead of mayo. I had been trying to get lunch here several times and it has always been closed. Today was no exception but about 12:30 it opened up. Really good BBQ has gotten expensive and I'll gladly pay if the quality is there. Fabled Rooster is certainly on the expensive side but in the end I didn't think the food measured up. read more

Here on a Saturday shortly after 11am and Graze is still quiet, lots of seating indoors and outside. Most of the foot traffic is gathered around Avocadish. My first choice Soul Bowl was unfortunately closed (!!) so by default I wandered to The Fabled Rooster and I'm not sad about the outcome. Because it was my second time walking around looking at menus, the staff asked if I had any questions. The burger selection was limited to only the chef burger that morning. I asked about the sides, debating between baked beans or smoked gouda potato salad. The beans came highly recommended - they did not disappoint at all. Service was super friendly and helpful - they explained the "delivery charge" on the receipt which was really a Graze service charge applied to all orders. One could've assumed as much but nice for them to explain upfront to avoid any customer misunderstanding. Let's talk about the burger. Pillowy bun, almost medium well beef, perfectly melted cheese, sauce, pickles - it wasn't a substantial burger in terms of size but a well proportioned sandwich on all fronts. It certainly needs a side in order to round out the meal and baked beans were spot on the right combination. A small cup doesn't look like much but once you dig into the beans, it complements the burger perfectly and makes it a filling combo. read more

Visited The Fabled Rooster on a Sunday afternoon. The Fabled Rooster is a stand within Graze Provisions. The atmosphere is this place is fun and there was plenty of open seating as it was quiet this particular day. I ordered the brisket rolls. This dish comes with 2 good sized brisket rolls, a dip, and a few slices of pickles. This food was the perfect size for an afternoon snack. The brisket rolls were super tasty and enjoyable. I really loved them. The reason I am giving this restaurant 4 stars is because of the service. No one seems to care we wanted their food. We got dirty looks just for coming up to the counter and the employees were on their phones almost the entire time we were there. The chef was very nice when he gave us our food but that was it. read more

We really wanted to like Fabled Rooster, but we ended up thinking it was pretty meh. The best parts of our meals were the portion sizes (you will NOT go hungry, they are huge), the BBQ sauces (yummy), and the baked beans. However, the meats were dry and overall not very good (definitely do not get the brisket), and the collard greens were not our favorite. While we love the food hall this place is in, we probably won't get food from this stall again. read more

This is not good food.I did not enjoy it. We tried several sides which i usually love but we ended up throwing all if it out. The cole slaw has jalapeño in it which i love but it was too hot for me to eat. The potato salad was way too salty and i could not eat that. If it wasn't salty I would probably like it. The collard greens just had a weird taste. I could not stomach it. I love this kind of food and I don't think they know how to cook it. My BLT had so much mayo on it. One side had close to a quarter cup of mayo. The other side had less but it was enough mayo for 5 sandwiches on this one sandwich. The toast was good but my boyfriend said it had a pickled taste. and the bacon was good. My guy liked the beans but they were cold. He didn't care for the meat as it had an artificial smoke flavor. Not like real smoked meats. I would not recommend this read more

The Fabled Rooster was my second bbq place to try in Minneapolis. I came away ok with my meal. Ordered the St Louis Ribs meal with potato salad, and picked up Rib Tips as well. The St Louis Ribs were definitely fall off the bone and tasty. The sauce I got was a little on the sweet side for me but it was ok. The Rib Tips were hearty pieces. I enjoyed them as a late night snack and I loved their meatiness. I think I had four sauces to choose from and the one I picked I wasn't that impressed. My order was take out and the service was good. Didn't take long to wait for my order. I would have liked a sampler combo so that I could try several meats but they were only available as large family orders. read more

I was in Minneapolis for a conference and ordered delivery from them, via Toast. While the pulled pork sandwich was delicious - I did not receive all the sides I ordered along with it (fries and coleslaw). I wouldn't have mind as much but with each side being an additional $5, I didn't get $10 of a $23.50 subtotal order... I was missing 42% of my order, not considering the delivery charges either. I tried calling several times to let them know, and left a message, but have not heard back - maybe they called back amid all the unknown numbers, but no voice message. I realize it may have been busy, but it should not be so hard to try to get in contact with them. So of what I did receive, it was fine, and it wasn't even all of it. Customer service was a bust. read more

Must try BBQ if you are hitting up Graze. The rib tips were on special and I will add they are something special.....super flavorful and get amount of meat on the tips. Get both the spicy and regular bbq sauce. Anytime fried pickles are on a BBQ joints menu they are a must try and these didn't disappoint. They come with some type of white sauce that has just the right amount of punch to go with the pickle. Also good with a good cocktail from Graze read more

I've heard fantastic things about this place, but I'm not sure if I was there on an off day or what. My brisket was dry and underwhelming, and overpriced for the 4 slices on the tray. The fried pickles on the other hand, were exactly what you'd expect hot, crispy, fried goodness. read more

Great place for a fast casual plate of BBQ, and thee truffle fries might be the best I've ever had anywhere. This was a fun place to gather and eat after a Twins game since it is only about a block northeast of the stadium.

This is a tiny restaurant inside an upscale food court, so don't get confused when you get here & can't find it. Go in the grey doors and make a beeline for the back wall where you will find this little gem. This is legit. The ribs were smokey, well seasoned, tender, moist, and the dry rub was excellent. We got sauce samplers & each were both exactly as described, and delicious! My personal favorite was the cherry cola BBQ sauce, which I found just the right amount of sweet, spicy, savory, and puckery... The coleslaw was great! You definitely get a hit of the apple cider vinegar which brings a pleasant twist to an otherwise standard coleslaw. The potato salad was a bit bland, but the potatoes were cooked perfectly. Can't wait to go back & try the brisket! Next time we'll go earlier to ensure they don't sell out before we get to try it! read more

This spot is located in Graze and it features barbecue food and you could also order a cheeseburger here. I ordered the chefs burger and then we also ordered a barbecue burger, a side of fried pickles, and the potato salad. The burger was pretty tasty, it could've been juicier and could've had a little bit more flavor but it was still pretty good and the fried pickles were phenomenal. The barbecue burger was good but i think it could use a little more sauce or maybe just a little more seasoning. Overall, I would definitely go back here and try the other items. read more

I feel ripped off and cheated from this place. Got charged a delivery fee although I dined in. When asked about it, they told me their POS puts it on and they can't take it off.

Food was good, not great for the experience we had. After ordering, we were asked to give a phone number to text when the food was ready in about 5-7 minutes. No problem. Waited outside, never got a text for about 10 minutes. My husband goes in to use the restroom and checks on the food on his way back out. Texts me from inside "our food is on sitting the counter behind the register and these guys are nowhere to be found." Turns out they had our food sitting under the lamp while the guy who took our order was our back smoking. Got my husbands order wrong, as well. read more

We ordered the pulled pork and brisket platter, with potatoes salad and burnt end beans. The burnt end beans were decent. The disappointment is the temperature of the food, it was cold.
