We all know that in the United States, the best BBQ is supposed to be found in the South. But while Minnesota is about as far from the South as you can get, don’t let its geography fool you. The Land of 10,000 Lakes is filled to the brim with some of the most mouthwatering BBQ restaurants you’ll ever visit in your life. One of the most notable is a little spot called Big Daddy’s BBQ. While on the outside it may not look too out of the ordinary, the inside holds mouthwatering, finger-licking BBQ feasts.

Big Daddy's BBQ is an unassuming spot in St. Paul, Minnesota. You'll find it at 625 University Ave. W.

The building's unassuming exterior is carried through the inside. A few standard tables are available for seating. If it's warm outside, though, we recommend heading out to the small patio area.
