Pulled pork sandwich was pretty good coming from a guy that’s from Alabama knows about good bbq this is the best bbq I’ve had in Nebraska it service was great I highly recommend this place

It was ok. On the pricey side. We order the bbq nachos. Our order only came with chips, bbq pork and cheese, none of the other ingredients that were listed on the menu. Also, you cannot get a small cup of water, only bottles water or soda. The apple cider slushies were the best part of the visit.

The worst BBQ I have ever had. Visiting with family from out of town and this was a huge disappointment. The “stuffed” baked potato was pathetic. A section of potato with a sad excuse for baked beans and watery cheese. My ribs at least were kind of tender with no flavor a ketchup type of sauce that was in no way appropriate for bbq. The worst was the brisket. It was cut WITH the grain, very fatty and impossible to cut or chew. We politely told them and they replaced it with pulled pork and chicken which was JUST as bad. The pulled pork was rubbery, oily and a strange texture. The chicken was dry and powdery. Yikes… this could be an amazing place to grab a bite after hanging out at Arbor Day farms, but unfortunately this was a swing and a miss.

Food was amazing, service was lackluster- the staff were not very friendly.

Absolutely terrible service. Brought our four kids with us, pretty much one option for “kids meal” which was just a pulled pork sandwich and nothing else. No water cups or glasses included. We were there at 1130 and they were already low on pulled pork. I ordered the brisket “large” plate which was absolutely laughable. One slice of brisket that was half fat, literally 3 green beans and the tiniest cup of baked beans. I cannot believe the older lady taking our order has somehow been able to keep her job with how rude she was. Will never eat here again

Things were pretty quiet here in the offseason. Apple cider slushy was 90% ice lol, cornbread was pretty yummy and generously portioned!

The chili, and cornbread were delicious. I also tried the SARO Joy Harvest Hard Cider....I will be ordering another. It is an excellent hard cider.

I wish I had taken a photo…..

The portion size for the price was extremely disappointing and the taste wasn’t much better. It $16 for a small portion of brisket and the “side” of Mac and cheese wasn’t even 4 bites on a spoon. The 5 whole green beans we got were cold

Total waste of time and money

Husband & I both got chicken dinner, if you can call it that. Thigh with drumstick, only 1 side (which was a very very small size of Mac & cheese, and a piece of bread, no butter, not toasted just a dry piece of bread, (3) pickled green beans as garnish I guess🤷🏼‍♀️& 2 bottles of water. Total bill $30!! Awful!! The girl that took our order was not the least bit helpful in telling us where to get the plastic ware or that sauce was available, behind us in the corner. It was obvious she didn’t want to be there. We asked if the apple pie was made there (it’s an apple orchard), sadly no..frozen & shipped in. We left hungry & disappointed after driving 5.5 hrs. through Nebraska & there’s not much to choose from in this town. I would never recommend this place. BTW, we live in the apple capital of Georgia & our orchards serve delicious homemade food & friendly service.

Was disappointed in the food. I had the burnt ends, and the beans. The burnt ends were okay, but I am from Kansas City, and have had them here, and they don't compare favorably. The "beans" were a major fail. They had a few chunks of brisket, some diced celery, but not a single bean to be found! I am not joking, there were no beans!
Some of this could have been that we came an hour before closing, and they were more focused on doing their closing routine, but it was not my favorite experience.

The food wasn’t bad. I tried to order Mac and cheese for my kids as that was all they would eat and the lady told me no even though it is available as an option because they were running out. She then sold it to every single person after us the entire time we were there. It was so odd.

Busy and loud. Chicken sandwich was so dry and tough. I'm sure other items are okay.

The brisket sandwich, flatbread brisket pizza, and bbq brisket potato were amazing! Not to mention, the pickled green beans are awesome. Highly recommend this place.

Decided to eat here before doing the tree adventure instead of finding fast food. So glad we did. Reasonably priced, quick, and so much better than fast food.

The worst BBQ I've ever had in my life. Pulled pork was beyond burnt and dried out almost to the point of being jerky potato salad had very little flavor and the toast was just a buttered piece of bread. The sauce tasted like pizza sauce sugar and ketchup all mixed together and the staff was even arguing about don't burn the alcohol again and such never going back
