Dining Out - Roscoe's Barbeque Root Beer and Ribs
By Andrea Faiad
Offers award-winning ribs and sauces, including being crowned thrice (and second at least four times) at the Minneapolis Ribfest.
After a small electrical fire, Rosco's owner Steve Ross, replaced all the wiring, gas and plumbing in his root beer stand. But none of the cooking equipment used to make his signature barbecue ribs or smoked beef brisket, chicken, ham and pork shoulder changed. After 24 years, he says a solid customer base keeps the family-run, locally owned restaurant going. "It's a tough road to hoe, but we have a real loyal customer base that supports us every year," Ross says. Hours The root beer stand is open from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Tuesdays through Sundays. Value Prices range from about $3.25 for a kid's meal or burger to about $19 for a full rack of ribs dinner, which includes cole slaw, barbecue beans, jojo potatoes and garlic toast. Atmosphere The root beer stand is outside, located near Mayo Park. It has several picnic benches to sit at, including some under cover. Specials Roscoe's features daily combination specials, such as two burgers, two fries and two drinks for $11.95 on Tuesdays and Sundays. Worth noting
