Reviews for Old Southern BBQ - Arden Hills (694 & Lexington) in Arden Hills, MN

Smells AMAZING as soon as you walk in the door it's hard not to become immediately hungry. Love the wings, order them sauceless... so you can add any of the sauces on the table as you go. Hard to choose a favorite. Read more

The food was just ok. I tried the 2 meat platter. Pulled pork and brisket. The meat was tender but flavorless. The brisket... tasted like a regular roast out of the oven. The Mac and cheese was good. Hot, very cheesy and nice crunchy topping. I feellike they could step up the Mac and cheese by adding Smokey bacon bits and they would have a signature side. Corn bread wasalso good. Read more

My husband and I have eaten at old southern before and it was pretty great! Unfortunately last night I took a lb of brisket and... an order of rib tips to go, and it wasn?t so great.. The brisket was well done and didn?t taste like it had been smoked at all.Frankly it tasted -and had the texture- of roast beef and not brisket???? we were super disappointed especially at $23 dollarsper pound of brisket. The rib tips were good. Not sure if I wanna risk going back here to get brisket though sadly.. ???? Read more

Southern Barbecue in the northern suburbs. I ordered just meats: brisket and ribs. Both were excellent, smoked well, nicely... seasoned, moist but not too fatty. I tried three sauces. Chicago Fire was good but maybe more spicy than I want on barbecue.Southern Gal was too sweet. Chicago Blues was just right for me. Very good overall. I will return the next time I'm in theneighborhood. Read more

Came here on 4th of July. Service was nice but the food was not great. Brisket and ribs were dry. Sides were good and pretty... cheap. Read more

Really helpful with suggestions while ordering. Great lunch spot - Cant go wrong with their wings and dill potato salad! Wing... meat was falling off the bone and you were able to put your own sauces on. I got the regular size. About 10 wings for $14.99.Sandwiches averaged about $12.50/piece with a side. Everything is smoked and made In house. Read more

The food at the place was great! I got the quarter chicken platter and it was tasty. The chicken was well cooked and not dried... at all. I tired all of their bbq sauces and I would say my favorite was the Chicago Fire????. I'm more on the spicy slide whencomes to sauces. My second sauces choice would be the Dixie Red because of the hint of smoke to it. Lastly, the staff keepsthis place clean and presentable. They check on you to see how you're liking the food as well. I would recommend stop by herefor some food. I was debating of coming to Old Southern abbq or Raising Canes, but I'm glad I stopped at Old Southern BBQ. Read more

We love bbq and this place didn't let us down. The portions are quite satisfying. Staff is friendly and helpful. We tried the... Soul Bowl and the Memphis Bowl. And we can not wait to try more dishes. We were happy to see that the menu has GF options. Thelocation has plenty of parking in front and it's easy to find. Read more
