We were going to have lunch on Monday with our son. We arrived there at 11:30 and they weren't open. In fact chairs were still up on the tables. We decided to go across to another food place to eat and past by on our way to our cars and still no one there. We won't be back because that seems to be there MO.

Excited for first meal here. Checked Facebook for any holiday hours (none mentioned), checked Facebook for any closing early posts (none made), double check google hours (all signs pointing to open). Packed up family and drove across town, just to show up to be rudely yelled at after walking in the door that they were closed. Hoped for better.

I had the brisket sandwich and beans. Both were excellent.

The fries were good. That's it.Edit to add more info, per the owners request:We were there today (1/11). We had ribs, brisket, fries, potato salad, corn bread.-Ribs were tough and flavorless-Brisket was dry and flavorless(I really questioned if these were even smoked properly because they were both lacking a good smoke ring. Seemed like they were cooked in an oven to be honest.)-Potato salad I suppose I can't fault you for completely because your cashier told me you guys don't even make any of your sides. But also I can because why aren't you guys even making your own sides? Either way, it was bland and left much to be desired.-Corn bread was a good consistency, but was just meh in the flavor department.-The bbq sauce offered literally tasted like Kraft KC Masterpiece $1.50 bottled sauce. And it was the only option, weird.-Pickles and fries were good.

Finally tried this out and was very disappointed. We didn't get any bbq sauce with our order. The brisket was the driest brisket I've ever had and was chewy. The side were good but you don't go to a bbq joint for sides. Just go to overpriced hog wild.

Best barbecue in lincoln and it’s not even close. I went yesterday and already texted a buddy to go back today. Brisket was perfect, ribs were outstanding, and the pulled pork was full of flavor. Nice work!

This was my first time trying out this place with my toddler and the lady taking my order was a bit cold towards me. I thanked her after placing and receiving my orders, but she didn't respond. I noticed that she was super friendly to the next 2 customers behind me. The brisket was good, but not enough for me to experience bad customer service again.

Ordered a jumbo pulled pork sandwich to split with my husband. Order said it would be ready at 5:45. We got there at 5:55 and it wasn't even started. It was another 15 minutes. They guy apologized for the wait. When we got home, I discovered we received the regular size sandwich. Just under $17 for pulled pork on a small bun and a scoop of cheesy potatoes that we ordered online and picked up. Very disappointed.
The foods good but the restaurant has gone downhill lately. I haven't been able to eat there and get exactly what I ordered since they moved to their new location. The last three times I've either received the wrong side or was missing a side.

My favorite BBQ place in Lincoln! You have to try their apple habanero BBQ sauce it’s so good! The staff is always really nice when we go in, everything is kept clean, and I’ve never ordered anything I didn’t like. Reasonable prices. They have won a lot of awards for BBQ as well. The meat is very tender and my favorite side is their beans.
i was really looking forward to trying some awesome bbq on my day off. The first bite in a rib was not so good because it was obviously not fresh. The burnt ends were ok, but the spicy bbq sauce was stellar. i think they need to up their standards to where they once were.
