Boomin Barbecue

Best ribs I've had since I went to Pecan Lodge in Dallas, TX, a few years back. I ordered some takeout in person tonight. I got the 1/2 lb of pork ribs and brought them home. They were amazing! I couldn't eat them fast enough. I would have got the waygu beef rib, but I didn't want to spend $50 on food tonight. Honestly, this is the best BBQ I've ever had in the Midwest. Nothing in the Twin Cities metro comes close to it, in my opinion. The flavor was there. They weren't overcooked and dry, but actually, juicy af. They were so tender that I was able to pull out the bones. You can tell they were smoked correctly. If you get the chance to go here, do it. Thank you, Boomin BBQ. I'll be back!

Incredible bbq, friendly staff, one of my favorite food experiences in town

Food was amazing. I will definitely be back here often. I had their chopped beef sandwich and their mcrib, and they were two of the best sandwiches I have ever had.

Mcrib was bangin.

Their smoked burgers… can not live without them!

If you're in for great bbq and an even better hang out spot. Look no further,this is it. Staff is amazing and place is great for catching up with friends. Food was awesome,if you're there, definitely try the beef ribs. Will definitely be back for more BBQ and that cheese and crackers...amazing!!

We came to Stillwater/Hudson area for a few days specifically to try Boomin, which did not disappoint. Pork ribs were insane. Cucumber/bell pepper salad was unreal. Slaw was very great, not sure what the other reviewer was talking about. The elote/esquites were a 0/10 for me despite the bartender's recommendation, as soon as frozen corn enters the situation it's going in the trash. Nova's cocktails were pretty unbalanced so that was a bummer. but the food generally was like 9.5/10

Inside of the Nova Bar, Boomin BBQ was highly recommended by a friend who ate at their former MPLS location. I'll be honest, I'm not a huge fan of Texas style BBQ, so I ordered with low expectations. Was hoping to get the brisket (not available), but settled for pork rib tips and a side of slaw. To say the rib tips were the best I ever had would be an understatement. Super moist, plump, perfectly seasoned, and tender. The accompanying sauce was a light tomato/vinegar "meh" but it didn't matter because the rib tips held their own. Sides of perfectly pickled veggies and toast were a great accompaniment. However, the slaw was a complete miss. Watered down mayo-based dressing and copious amounts of black pepper made it a one-note side. The real disappointment is the location. Seeing past photos of Boomin BBQ in it's MPLS food truck days conjured communal vibes, throngs of people dining at picnic tables and enjoying the weather - a real option at a location so close to the riverfront. Instead, Boomin is relegated to a tiny hole in the back of a "poser" bar whose staff cares more about taking Instagram photos than helping customers. In short, the food is great, but order to go.
