Really great place for bbq.

The burnt ends were super, and the ribs were good. Had the brisket slices as well, and I wasn't disappointed at all. They didn't punch you in the face with rub! But the smoke flavoring was really great. The sauces are fantastic. Go for the mustard Carolina sauce or the raspberry Chipotle.

The beans and funeral potatoes were really a nice side option for the meal.
.I supper the only feedback I would have is that they need a 4 meat Platter so I can try other things while getting my favorites.

The service was good.

Prices may seem high, but food costs hit restaurant owners hard. If you want good food...Pay for it. These people provide a good product that isn't cheap to buy or prepare.

The first time I was here and the last time. The service was good, and the staff was friendly, and the food was good.
It was very expensive for what little we got. I give my seven year old grandson more to eat than that.
I am sorry, but that is why I feel that they won't see me again.

Decent. Didn't blow my pants off or ruin my day.

The noodles in the Mac and cheese are pretty cool.

Pulled Pork sandwich was juicy and smoked well. If you like a mustard base sauce, it is solid!Mac n cheese was creamy and unique. Will definitely add to my stop during my travels across Nebraska.

I visited in March of 2024, I thought I had left a review, but for whatever reason it has never posted. I was in Kearney to visit my daughter. In a week, I was pretty disappointed with nearly every where we had eaten. We went there close to closing one evening towards the end of my visit, I had ribs, they were good, not exceptional, but compared to everything else I had in that town for a week, it was a welcome experience. At this point I don't rememeber what she ate ( best I remember, she had some sort of bbq meat loaded potato, just can't remember the specifics) She tipped very well (on top of my generous tip) so obviously it was pretty good.The food was good, again, not the be all end all of BBQ, but good. The service was great, it had a very family run kind of vibe. The atmosphere was what you would expect from a BBQ joint. Overall it was a very nice experience. If you are visiting Kearney, this is one of the better places to eat. Wish I still had pics from our visit. Give them a try if your visiting Kearney. Best stop I found in a week of eating there.

Food was good but the serving size was so small. Ordered burnt ends and got 5 pieces on a 2 meat plate. Pieces were 25% fat. Sides are small as well. Service was decent. Benches to sit on were a little difficult to get in and out of and a little uncomfortable.

Very disappointed. Meat was bland. Worst Mac and Cheese I have ever had. For over 20 bucks the portions were ridiculously small. 2 small strips of brisket, a small handful of pulled pork, the smallest side dish size I’ve ever had (which turned out to be a blessing since it was that bad), and 1 whole ounce of BBQ sauce. The toast was the best part of the meal. At least the counter lady was nice. NEVER again.

Tried this out as it belongs to a high school classmate. My husband and I are really picky when it comes to BBQ as that is his specialty when we entertain but this place was a great surprise. The food was flavorful and plentiful. We want to check out the Bloody Marys next time.
