Reviews for Mac's Smokehouse in Fairfax, MN
Reviews looked great, so we found a different route to our destination so we could stop. I have to agree with the reviews. ... Fantastic ribs, brisket and pull pork sandwich. Pork was rich and smokey. Brisket had a good smoke ring. Kids meals were asteal at $5. Our server was also fantastic. We'll definitely be making this our new route to be able to stop again. Read more
Neat atmosphere. Old garage made into a restaurant with some of the grittiness still there. Tried several meats and... sides Brisket had good taste and smoke flavor. The local smoked sausage was really good. Ribs were excellent. Chicken wasjuicy. Only negative was meat should have been hotter. Would have made this 5 stars. As for sides, cornbread was great, bakedbeans were really good with pulled pork mixed in. The cole slaw had a good pepper flavor and was creamy. The mac and cheese wasawesome. So good. I also tried the Potato salad. Really good. Great taste and texture to all the sides. Also have Schells beeron tap. Good fair prices, decent fair portions. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed.

Stopped by chance, and found a gem! We were waited on by a very friendly and efficient gentleman named Tim. He made excellent... recommendations on the offerings at the restaurant. I had the brisket sandwich which was absolutely incredible. I love thehomemade beans and slaw. I absolutely cannot wait until my next drive through town so that I can eat there again. I also lovethat everything from the sauces to the sides were completely homemade. Absolute barbecue perfection with a generous helping offriendliness and excellent service, with shockingly affordable prices. I have eaten BBQ all over the USA, and the prices wereroughly 1/2 of what I usually pay for good BBQ, and this was well past good, and without question in the "great" category. Read more
