Absolutely worth the drive from anywhere in the Twin Cities for authentic Texas BBQ in a lively, fun atmosphere!
We visited on a Friday night and were blown away by the size of the place and the great vibe. The large outdoor patio was the perfect spot to relax. Drinks were reasonably priced, although some had a heavier pour than we prefer, which may be a plus for others!
Can’t wait to return for lunch and try their Big Bore Bloody Mary topped with burnt ends.
As for the food, we sampled the burnt end brisket, Brussels sprouts, cheese curds, and smoked candied bacon. The brisket was a bit on the dry side for our taste, but their hot BBQ sauce brought it back to life. Everything else was full of flavor and really well done.
Overall, a great spot for BBQ lovers looking for bold flavors, generous portions, and a fun dining experience.

We LOVE Big Bore BBQ. We’ve been coming here for about 4 years. We live in Minneapolis, MN, but don’t mind the drive for excellent food! We buy the gift card deal at Christmas, where you get a $20 gift card to use Jan – March, for every $100 gift card you buy. We came on a Saturday ,6/28/25 around 3:00 p.m., and that was the perfect. Time! We got the build your own, so we got a full rack of ribs, 1/2 lb of pulled pork, regular order fries, 1 lemonade ($3.25), no pickle side, and it comes with a slice of bread. Our bill was approx:$55.08.I took several pictures of the menu, our order, the ladies bathroom accessibility, and the restaurant. This place is hands down, the BEST PLACE for BBQ! There’s always a lot of parking available, if you don’t see any in the normal parking lots, go to the one that is next to the smoker /it might be the overflow employee lot? There is curbside pick up too, & that we’ve done several times, it’s easy, you can order at curbside, or I think you can order ahead? I don’t go here for alcohol or live music so I can’t attest to that aspect.
My only Con: I’m barely 50, and it’s so loud in here! Can hardly talk to my husband. Good for business in that it’s busy, full, but hard to chat.

We had the best dinner here. Our server, Jodi, was amazing. Most of our party, including myself, had never been before. She made amazing recommendations and was SO friendly. The portions were huge and so, ridiculously delicious. Would take a flight back to Minnesota just to enjoy this meal all over again. And would want to sit in Jodi’s section!

OMG I’m in BBQ heaven and this is Minnesota! I was blown away when we drove up and I saw the size of the place and then couldn’t believe my eyes when we walked past the BBQ pits, freaking huge.
The interior makes you feel like your standing somewhere in Texas with an equally big outside area.
It was a Friday night and the place was rocking the hostess told us 1.5 hours and we were happy to wait since they have a big bar and lots of craft beers on tap as well as a good variety craft cocktails. As we walked to the bar 4 people got up and we snagged so seats at the bar and were able to order dinner at the bar. Bonus!
OK Let’s talk food. It was off the hook. They have a huge variety of BBQ meats, sandwiches and with Tex Mex options. As soon as I sa the Fat Back Mac & Cheese I had to have it. It’s chopped brisket, pulled pork and bacon to our House Made magic, then some bacon & a fried egg on top. The portion was more than I could eat and the flavor was perfect with juicy pulled pork & tender brisket.
Can’t wait to go back.

I have dined in here in the past and everything was great. This time I ordered to go got the half rack of ribs for $22 no sides just the ribs. And this is what I got. I think this is disgusting for $22

For the longest time I have wished we had “Texas Style” BBQ up here, I’ve had Memphis Style, I’ve had St Louis style and KC, But there’s something about Texas style that I’ve been missing most of all. Big Bore Barbecue is Texas in Minnesota!!! Fantastic Phenomenal and Exactly what I was craving.
Owen our server was right there when we were seated to get our drink order. Offered up a couple suggestions on appi’s, We knew what we wanted from looking at the online menu so we ordered everything right then, Pork-belly burnt ends for the appi, Brisket for her, Baby-backs for me. Fastest food delivery I’ve seen in a long time. Awesome! We will be back and We will be back with Friends.

Some of the best BBQ I’ve had ever and certainly one of the best in Minnesota. Well worth the drive from the cities or a must stop in the Hanover area. Beautiful building and seating. Huge outdoor area with covered seating as well as a stage for live music. Make sure to walk over and check out the giant smokers they use. Seriously truck size and impressive for anyone remotely interested in smoking or cooking meats. Speaking of which its all sold Deli style. You pick your meats and pay by the 1/4, 1/2, full pound! Excellent idea that makes it easy to try everything. The sides are sold the same way in pint, quart ect sizes. We started with the burnt ends and portobello fries. Both were huge hits and the sauce with the fries was so good. The shredded pork was out of this world. The brisket was juicy and delicious. The ribs! You just grab a bone and pull it right out clean as can be. Mouth-watering good with big bottles of sauce if you want. Not needed at all but hey some people like more. Over all a 10/10 place with super fast service and a great atmosphere. Tons of parking and great for big family style meals.

Our family stopped by Big Bore Barbecue in Hanover and it was worth the trip. The vibe is casual and fun — first‑come, first‑served with a lively, welcoming feel. We dove into brisket, pulled pork, and ribs, and honestly, most of it was tender and full of flavor. The portions were huge, the sides (especially the mac & cheese) hit the spot, and their sauces helped dial in the flavor just right. Service was friendly and quick, even when it got busy. Be prepared for long waits on weekends.
