Our  Nicollet Location Is Closed!
Market Bar-B-Que
Is Moving to NE Minneapolis!

We are moving to NorthEast Minneapolis! Yes, we are moving our rib pit, brick by brick, to our new address.  We have officially closed our Downtown location and will be re-opening at 220 NE Lowry in NorthEast Minneapolis soon.  While the address may be new, our ribs and other amazing items will be the same.  

We hope to see you at our new location real soon!  
Are you ready for some great Bar-B-Que? We are! 

Market Bar-B-Que

We are a family owned barbeque restaurant that has served the Twin Cities for over 70 years. We hope that you will come visit us one day soon. We think that you will really enjoy our pit smoked ribs or one of our other signature dishes.

Market Bar-B-Que
The Restaurant 

Over the past 70 years we have been located in the dowtown Minneapolis area. We have moved to a few different address over the years but our decor and Barbeque Pit have moved with us. Tradition and being honest to our process is very important to our family, and to the quality of the food.

Our Ribs Are The Best

Our pit smoked ribs are so good that we do not put sauce on them. We suggest that you try them dry, direct from the pit. If you like barbeque sauce, we offer both a classic smoke sauce and a hot sauce that will wake of your taste buds.
