Jr's No. 19 Bbq - Brainerd

Absolutely amazing food! It was just what I needed. We had the brisket sandwich, beans, and sweet tea. We will definitely be back! It's the best BBQ brisket I've had in a long time. And that BBQ sauce was incredible!

I just enjoyed the combo platter, which includes a selection of all the meats they offer. Each one was perfectly cooked and incredibly delicious! The brisket, pulled pork, and smoked chicken were fantastic, and the ribs were some of the best I’ve had in a long time—meaty and flavorful. I also highly recommend the baked beans; they were packed with pork and chicken as well! I will definitely be returning; this is one of my favorite places.

I opted for the brisket plate. While I enjoyed certain aspects of the meal, the brisket didn’t stand out as I hoped. It had a nice smoky flavor, but unfortunately, it was overcooked and dry. As a BBQ enthusiast who smokes my own brisket, I hold high expectations. I also realized I ordered from the flat rather than the point, which I always forget to specify. The macaroni salad seemed decent, but it didn’t look very fresh, so I skipped it. My favorite part of the meal was the baked beans—they were absolutely delicious. Overall, I would consider coming back, though I’d arrive earlier and make sure to specify the point. I didn’t try the ribs, but I overheard some folks mentioning they were quite good. While I understand that BBQ takes time, I’d recommend that they only serve dishes they’re proud of and would personally enjoy. This approach would likely ensure that everyone who pays $21 for a meal leaves satisfied. If you found this review helpful, please give me a thumbs up! Cheers!

We ordered the brisket and the smoked chicken, and both were outstanding. Way more food then we could eat!! All of their pizzas are made by hand from scratch. Very friendly owners as well. Will definitely return soon.
