Black Cherry Smokehouse - Fairfax

In the podunk town of Fairfax, MN lies a hole in the wall BBQ joint. I think we can all agree that the best food comes out of holes in the wall. Not only did you drool before, during, and after eating the delicious smoked meat, but the owner Leslie was a stallion himself. Real charismatic man that can obviously read his audience. We had a great time tossin jokes back and forth as well as telling a few meaningful stories. If you get the chance to support Leslie, do it! You won't be disappointed!

Woo Hoo.... Excellent BBQ!!! Had the ribs and brisket, yummy. Great atmosphere and top notch service. Got to meet the owner Les Cherry and it was my honor to support a Marine Corps veteran. Thank you for your service Sir.

Excellent ribs- meaty, moist, tender, and flavorful. The barbecue sauce is served separately (mild, garlic or spicy), which makes it a low carb option for diabetics if you skip it. I did because they were great without it. The chicken, on the other hand, needed a little something so I tried a dab of the garlic bbq sauce and it was worth the carbs. Speaking of, another gem was the baked beans. They had great flavor and a generous amount of the house pulled pork mixed in. The home made Cole slaw got top marks from me because it tasted fresh and had a little color, probably from red cabbage and carrot. The dressing was not too sweet, so another win for a reduced carb lifestyle. Well, I somehow didn't post this last time I was here so I'll just double what I said last time. The service is always friendly and efficient. Tonight was slow and the only one working was Black Cherry himself. He's a great guy. This little gem is worth a road trip

Ordered the burgers with brisket, it was very good!! will definitely order again!

Always great food and service!! Definitely going back!!
