18 Best Barbeque Restaurants in Omaha

“I've had Smokin Barrel multiple times, and every time it is phenomenal. The meats are perfectly smoked, tender, flavorful & make you wish you were still hungry after enjoying the generous portions. It needs to be the next local restaurant featured on every traveling food show!“

“Friendly fast high quality food.“

“Excellent ribs and tacos! Highly recommend this place and appreciate the kind owners who brought me food to my car after a long day. Everyone who likes bbq MUST go here! Can’t wait to go back and eat more of their food!“

“Pulled pork is amazingly delicious! Mac and cheese is better than my mom's, but don't tell her I said this. BBQ sauce perfect! I also got my mom the half slab of ribs dinner. She absolutely loved her meal. I got a to go order Superbowl afternoon and the staff was spot on! I'll be back to try your brisket!“

“BBQ ribs so delicious that they don’t need sauce. Meat falls off the bone.“

“One of my favorite BBQ spots!“

“We always get the spicy shrimp as the appetizer. It is awesome! The food was great (& we got there around 5), but the service was not great. We were not done with the appetizer before the salad came. We were still eating the appetizer when the entree came. I asked what they consider medium on doneness on a steak. We were told : "warm pink center". I cut into my steak & it was bloody. I sent it back for more cooking. That was taking longer than expected, so I ate the salad. ( strawberry salad is awesome!) When the steak was brought back, I just took it home.
I had ordered soda for my drink, hubby had flavored lemonade. I still had a lot left in my glass & the waitress brought me another glass of soda. Hubby ran out of lemonade & waitress was not coming around. I told him he could have some of my soda. He put his straw in my new glass of soda & then the waitress shows up with another glass of soda & a lemonade. We never drank any of the 2nd & 3rd soda. Had the waitress asked if I wanted another soda, I would have declined the offer.

Wheelchair accessibility: This restaurant is one level & no stairs.“

“Stopped in on a whim, lived here 33 years and this was my first visit. It will definitely not be the last. I bought Wisconsin brats and sausage links and I found English bangers and Portuguese Lunguica! Absolutely outstanding! The customer service was fantastic and very personable.“

“The best BBQ I've had since the Smoke Pit (rip). I love ordering from here, especially if I'm craving fried okra. Added bonus: It's always at least a couple meals for me bc the portions are so generous! 😊“

“Stopped in for some lunch with a friend. Jacob was our server, he did an excellent job, very personable, quality service hands down. My friend and I both enjoyed sirloins, both were excellent. As a chef myself for 30+ years, I was very pleased with the overall flavor, great char flavor that made me feel like a old time cookout with my family. Cooked to perfection, I want another one. Baked potato was stuffed with all the goodies, and was still steaming until I was done. I also enjoyed the green beans. I have been to every TRH in the area, best I ever had, so much flavor. Hats off to you guys, by far one of the best meals I have had in a while.“

“Just went for the first time and hands amazing bbq staff is super nice and friendly definitely going back again“

“Had lunch at Smoking Jays the other day while I was in Omaha & it was seriously delicious bbq!! I got the sample platter- my favorites were the potatoes, brisket, & the wing!! But it was all really good! Will definitely be back!“

“Our food was hot and freshly cooked. The pizza was perfect. Definitely get the wings charred and double dipped.
Just a heads up the BBQ sauce is a bit spicy. I like heat, but you may want to ask if they have a mild version for the kiddos. 😊“

“My wife, son, and myself were in Omaha for the weekend. By sheer happenstance, we received a tip from a gal in our home town 5 hours away. So glad we stopped. Hands down one of the best pizzas we've ever had. Courteous staff, prep/cook time was fast, and great prices. 10 out of 10 would recommend.“

“bet. shits bomb AF so make sure and stop by“

“Diverse menu from breakfast to Soul Food with good seasoning & flavor to boot! The portions are usually bigger than similar restaurants & to top it off, they usually have discounted specials several days of the week. Highly recommended!!! #HustleholicApproved“

“Best local bar that stays open til 2 am. Bartenders are all on point. One in particular is my fave, but I can’t say who, because that will make all the other girl bartenders Jealous. Oh screw it, it’s Hannah. Or is it Hanna? Either way, she’s Ms. New Booty.

Food is great also 👍“
