Born in the Smoke

Fatback Smoke Stack is Mankato's home for real low-and-slow barbecue. We burn clean wood, run the pit patient and let the smoke do the talking - tender brisket, fall-off-the-bone ribs, crispy catfish and our famous brisket mac bowl. No shortcuts, no fuss, just honest Southern-style cooking served with two hearty sides and a whole lot of soul. Pull up, dig in, and taste why folks keep coming back.
