Big Bore Barbecue 10940 4th Street Northeast, Hanover, MN 55341

"We LOVE Big Bore BBQ. We've been coming here for about 3 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 just came for Valentine's Day, at 3pm, to avoid the rush. We got the build your own, so we got a full rack of ribs, 1/2 lb of pulled pork, large order fries, seasoned sour cream-spicy! ($1), 1 root beer($3), no pickle side, and it comes with a slice of bread. Our bill was approx:$56. They just updated their bathrooms since I've been there, so I made sure to tell the guy telling us goodbye, to please tell the Mgr or owner that I am SO happy with the upgrades! 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'd love to bring my parents here, they are in their 70s, but they are hard of hearing, and wear expensive hearing aids. (it doesn't seem like much to you & me, but when it's background sounds, it makes it difficult). Even today, Wednesday, Valentines Day, with the music overhead @ 3:30pm, they may still have trouble. I guess what I should do is to bring them at 11am, hoping the music isn't much at this hour? But just wanted to speak up on that for others who may have HOH parents or may be like this."

"The place was packed, and people were waiting to be seated. The food...SO GOOD, my favorite place for ribs now! Good bark, flavor mmm, tinder, and fall off the bone. Beans were great, Mac and cheese... ummm, moving on, pickels tasted like cucumbers... weird. Brisket was alright, pork, alright. So the ribs and the amber boc draft beer are all I need. Food came QUICKLY, family style. Reasonably priced. Part 2: We've been craving this place, so my family made the short trip again, and it did not disappoint! As the menu states above, the baby back ribs, "This is what you came here for!" TRUTH! That and the pulled pork and super crispy onion rings, great with the BBQ sause. And a side of Mac and cheese was good as well. Granddaughter had cheeseburger slider, and my daughter said they were very good. No sweet tea my daughter asked and was the only disappointment. Minding my own business... I saw tacos and a super large burrito walk (carried) past me. I took a look at it after was half gone... OK I'm going to come try all that too!"

"A little out of the way for us but absolutely worth the drive. This place was fantastic! Was told hour and a half wait at 530 on a Saturday and we were seated within 45 minutes. The blueberry old fashioned was very good. We had chips, Pico, and Queso along with Cheese curds for an app. Definitely recommend the pepper jelly, it is amazing and not as spicy as I would have thought. Main dishes were Chicken Street Tacos, Rack of Ribs, Prime Rib, and Brisket. The meats literally melt in your mouth and the portions are huge! Sides we ordered were Mac & Cheese, Beans, Potato Salad and Brussle Sprouts. I highly recommend you plan to share sides, there is more food than you can possibly eat. Everything was amazing, well worth the drive, the wait, and the price ($200 for 4 with a togo dessert and lunch for the next day!)."

"Our first time visiting & we have been missing out! We got the pulled chicken and brisket - it was amazing! Also, the mac and cheese was great! For dessert, get the chocolate chip banana bread!! We will definitely be back!! Wonderful service from all the staff."

"Environment was welcoming upon entering. The BBQ meats were good overall but the stars of the night were the ribs! The pork ribs were done extremely well— great seasoning, with a little bit of heat. The beef rib was stellar! Absolutely delicious and mouthwatering! I would have ordered a second one if my stomach had room! Our waitress said the beef rib is a weekend special, so if you want to try it, call for availability beforehand."
