Rack Shack BBQ: Exceptional BBQ Experience in Eagan, MN

First time visit for us and the food did not disappoint! Two of us shared a half rack of ribs, a 1/2 lb of brisket, slaw and a medium sweet potato fries. Love that the meats come unsauced, which shows this team knows what they're doing. Both ribs and brisket had the perfect kiss of smoke and were well-seasoned (fries too- the salt mix had a tiny bit of sugar and spices that elevated them from good to great). Two points of constructive criticism: their sauce game here was average (we tried 5 different types, everything except super spicy). Flavors were decent, but not as layered or deep as the A+ meats deserved. A little less corn syrup (just guessing here because the sweetness was relentless in a couple flavors) and cutting back on the liquid smoke a hair would be ideal. Don't want to knock these guys because they do a really good job and it was the best bbq we've enjoyed all year. Note: music is pretty loud rock n roll (which I love, but not when I'm eating with someone I love) so don't plan to have a lot of conversation if you eat in the dining room. Friendly staff, great service. We will be back.

Best BBQ around ! Best beans Brisket is fabulous...... none better ! Great service. I've had bbq in Minnesota, Texas , KC , Tennessee and North Carolina and found nothing better than these guys 5 stars

This review is for their Thanksgiving turkey. We purchased a whole turkey - 22 pounds. The whole experience was awesome. The pickup was efficient, the bird was securely packed and easy to carry, and the product was delicious!! Great smoke, moist throughout, and easy to carve. We've eaten here before besides Thanksgiving and the BBQ is tasty and the restaurant clean. We will definitely come here often for their regular offerings as well as their Thanksgiving turkey. Recommend it!

The food, the service all deserves a 10/10. I haven't been here in years, turns out they got new ownership. The ribs were even better than the last I was here! You need to come here for all your BBQ! I'll be back!!

Rack Shack Revitalized!!! Having eaten at Rack Shack under previous owners, and after reading some negative reviews about the new ones, we were skeptical. We. We're. Wrong. My husband ordered the half rack of ribs, and they were the juiciest they've ever been. I had the Philly melt with brisket and it had much more meat than I expected and was so flavorful. We shared the cheese curds and onion rings, and they were crispy and seasoned well - unlike the previous ones which were way too salty. The ranch was flawless. It wasn't runny and bland - it was thick, perfect for dipping. And the sauces are so good. We prefer the KC and the St. Paulie.
