Firebox Deli - Brooklyn Center

Excellent pulled pork sandwich. Superb collard greens. Perfect sweet potatoes. Divine ribs. It's all carry out. It's so good you might want to eat in your car right there in the parking lot!

THE go-to BBQ spot in Minneapolis. The value is unparalleled. Take out is always ready on time.Personal favorite is the pulled pork sandwich. I could use a little less potato and more crispiness in the fries. Mac and cheese and sweet potatoes are my favorite sides. Hard to beat the FEAST order for a small group.

I personally didn't like the mac and cheese but my sister in law did. Wasn't sure what to expect having been giving mixed reviews. Greens have too many stems and were too sweet as well. I ordered a brisket dinner. The brisket was tasty and tender. Now the $70 order we took elsewhere the brisket was tough. Didn't try the sides ordered with that. My mother in law said her rib tips were pretty good too! Gotta be honest!

My first time there and we got ribs brisket and most of the sides between three people. It was mother's day weekend and first nice day out. There was a ton of people there and so things were understandably slow. The girl working the front seemed unfazed and was friendly and efficient. Things in back were a bit heated I could hear. The brisket was great as were the ribs. They had a nice char and smoke. The ribs might have been a bit dry. The sides were all good. The sweet potato had a spice beside cinnamon that had us guessing but it was tasty. The potato salad and slaw were both tasty. The fries were fine but nothing special. What struck me is nothing was disappointing as is so often the case. We each had our favorites of the bunch but would probably get much the same next time. Several people were ordering rib tips and had great things to say but I am not a rib tip person unfortunately. Glad to see good take out food over North with great service that is a local place not another chain.

I really tried to force myself to eat all my food and couldn't. I had the sweet potatoes, greens, ribs, coleslaw, and rib tips. I didn't finish any of it. I knew it wouldn't be southern cooking, but it was way different from anything I ever tasted. How do you mess up ribs? I usually don't do reviews, but this was very disappointing. We spent over $80 andeven if they just had a bad batch we will not be back.
