24 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Papillion

“My son is 21. He's 6'7 and up until recently was a super picky eater. He's started to expand beyond nugs and pizza and I suggested bbq. We got the Texan platter and he ate 3/4 of it 🤣 When I asked if he liked it, he said, "Bruh." I don't know if you know this, but that's equivalent to a Michelin star in 21 yo guy speak. So, we have always loved your food, and now you have a new fan as well. Thanks for making awesome food!!! ❤️“

“The Pit rolls (BBQ egg rolls) are solid! Give this place a try next time the food truck swings by!“

“That looks delicious ? I was in on saturday the 21st 2023 my son kept telling my mom you have to try this place so him and I did on sat. I am a big soup snob I love soup it's one of my favorite things to eat. I got the beef brisket tex mex soup and I WAS BLOWN AWAY! This was the best soup I have ever had! I wish i could order it by the gallon. I also had the bang bang chicken sandwich The very first thing I noticed is that the sandwich looked exactly like it does in the picture...absolutely beautiful the presentation was so impressive. I have never ever been anywhere where the food comes out looking the way it is advertised. This sandwich was amazing! The fries were perfectly done and everything was hot. I cannot rave enough on how delish this meal was it is now my go to place .The service was great very friendly people I can honestly say that this is the best resteraunt I have ever been to and I cannot wait to go back“

“Great place been going once a week for atleast 6 weeks the best“

“I am addicted to this BBQ. 1) the ribs are always above expectations falling off the bone 2) first time I tried grits was here, and I'm obsessed with their grits now 3) they do a great job working with 3rd party delivery apps as long as the driver is polite, because I'm unable to run and pickup myself 4) cornbread mmmmm 5) did I mention the grits? 6) EXCELLENT Mac n cheese. Not the typical BBQ Mac n cheese side. It's truly flavorful and the noodles are never mushy 7) delicious sauces 8) really great French fries 8) and mashed taters too besides other delicious sides 9) burnt ends that make me feel like I'm in another state ordering BBQ and 10) they care about the community

10/10!!“

“The food was fantastic!!! Great service with a very friendly staff. We wanted BBQ and found this place on FB. We were going to be in Omaha this last Saturday and decided to stop by. Glad we did. It was SO good. You owe it to your taste buds to try their food. I had the spare ribs and the wife had brisket and we walked out so full. Thanks again Smokin Barrel for the great experience!“

“The best BBQ in the area! I think I've had about everything on the menu and everything is absolutely delicious plus the prices are great, portions are large, and everyone there is kind and friendly. 1000% recommend!“

“Friendly fast high quality 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.“

“We came for the first time today and the staff were so patient, kind, and knowledgeable. The food was so good! Clean and inviting environment and atmosphere. We recommend and will be back!“

“The food is always good. Today at lunch time they were short staffed. Waited 10 min to be taken to a table. Waited 10 min for the order to be taken and 25 min for the food. Based on today really don’t know if I will go back. The employees were very courteous,“

“One of my favorite BBQ spots!“

“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! 😊“

“My favorite place in Omaha. Best sausage anywhere. Plus, if you can't find a specific type of meat anywhere else, odds are good , Stoysich will have it in stock. Don't pass by the store made items like the Bavarian kraut, or baked beans. Wonderful.“

“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.

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

“I did takeout tonight. They were extremely busy, proms are tonight. I was quoted a time and I checked on my order 35-40 minutes after my promised time, order would be be ready within 5-10 minutes. No biggie, had a great time talking with customers waiting for tables so time was going by fast. The manager in the take out area was AMAZING and so sweet and kind, as were the rest of the staff in that area. I didn’t catch her name, but you ROCK! And thank you for my meal.“

“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!“

“Kujo wings are the best. Pretty hot.

“I met this incredible guy and his wife at Hy-Vee, while buying patio furniture that was 75% off. He gave me a complimentary bottle of BBQ sauce and asked me to try it. And when I tell you that it was the BEST gift ever, it was!! I HIGHLY recommend this sauce. The compliments that I get on my chicken and ribs because of this sauce is incredible. I happily give Earnie rave reviews and recommendations. This sauce is EVERYTHING! Thanks Unc!!“

“Please for the love of god and all that is holy, invest in a better drive through speaker. The food is always amazing and the employees are always friendly and nice but they can’t hear a word we say to them. Each time I order a few items I end up getting at least one wrong. It’s frustrating. Aside from this one particular issue that’s been there since I was 16 (24 now) it’s been an amazing place to eat and get food. 12/10 would always always recommend“

“Plenty of quality food at a very fair price. Philly wrap, blackened chicken wrap and Lighthouse appetizer plate all top notch. Friendly barkeep/waitress that kept my lemonade full and paid attention to the details. Traditional sports bar atmosphere“
