The Twin Cities is fortunate to have a great, innovative window manufacturer in Bayport. Thursday evening after closing Marianne's Kitchen at 7:00 PM we started out on our recurring quest to find food other than our own (which we truly like) to eat. With no particular destination we headed east on HW 36 towards the St. Croix chatting about the days when St. Paulites headed east to the river to escape summer's heat.
Turning off southbound HW 95 onto the the one-block downtown of Bayport. Next to a closed Mexican restaurant which always meets John's interest in finding a good taco was a 'BBQ' sign. Parking in front we walked in and met by the owner, Chris. Bayport BBQ is warm and inviting and along with great barbeque is also a wonderful blues venue.
They close at 8 PM weekdays so we focused on eating. Food is offered up in a short buffet line. All of the meat options were just fine. Our single pass through the buffet line included pulled pork, beef brisket, pork spare ribs, sausage, coleslaw, baked beans, potato au gratin and yellow squash and onion.
We've heard that Bayport BBQ will soon be featured on Triple D by Guy Fieri. That will created a long, long line to get in so you may want to go now.
Bring cash or checks (no plastic) and enjoy a delightful family-owned and operated meal. Chris, his wife and three teenage kids are the staff. We're
going back one of these weekends for a meal and blues!
