Showed up around 3pm last Saturday to have an early dinner. Never been so was excited to try a new place..... well we waited over twenty minutes at hostesses station along with another couple who was there before us, and no body came. There was 3 tables being used so not busy. So we left. After reading other reviews we won't be going back...

THE best BBQ I have ever eaten. If traveling on I80 West, stop in Kearney, NE, and try their food. Absolutely delicious.

Do Not miss Skeeter Barnes! You have not had a burger until you have had one on these house made rolls. You also get them at your table with honey butter. Huge drinks in mason jars, and an endless side with your burger (I chose mac and cheese 10/10). We have tried a ton of things here, and everything has been awesome! When we drive through NE we always plan the trip to make sure that we are in Kearney at lunch or dinner time. The Bread...IYKYK! And now you know...

The food was great, everything had very good sized portions, and the complimentary bread was delicious. Our server was fantastic, she was super nice and upbeat. I would definitely eat here again!

If your thing is food that is days old and not fresh and comes out cold on the plate with no seasoning then this is your place. I have eaten at many barbecue and steakhouses in my life and this is the worst restaurant experience I have ever incurred. We were driving through to Iowa decided to stop here for lunch about 2 PM in the afternoon. The server was very friendly. The atmosphere is nice, but the food is just downright awful. The ribs were rancid and the brisket tasted like it was on the verge of going bad. The sausage was terrible; it’s a downright shame to call it Texas sausage because Texas would never be associated with something like that pretending to be good barbecue. After we left, I noticed how the manager replies to comments and is very rude to customers. We don’t live here so I will not be back and I recommend if you see my review please do not spend your money here. It is a terrible waste of your hard earned money, I can’t wait to see how the manager reacts to this.

Seeking a local difference, with maybe, hopefully a fun, relaxed atmosphere, we stopped by here for drinks and snacks not so long ago - and we found everything delicious, delightful, and refreshing. Already, I've recommended this place to others, at hotels and onward - we'll be back. I'm sure.

I tried this place and it was not bad but I guess I'm biased being from Texas. Just not enough smoke or maybe it was just a different hardwood they use. The bacon wrapped shrimp are the absolute best I've ever had! Forgot to mention the brisket was cooked perfect.
Ribs are great and so is the prime rib. Service is spot on and plenty of food

Our waitress Adriana was so helpful when we couldn’t decide what to order. We are traveling and didn’t want a lot of leftovers. Food was delicious, the place was very clean. Would definitely suggest stopping if you are in the area.

Needed a place that did take out and would let me go in with a dog to place order. No issues at all waiting in lobby area with dog while waiting for food.
Food wasn’t too bad at all. Good brisket and meaty sausage. Sweet beans and average Mac n cheese.
