Smokin Barrel BBQ

We were looking for some place different to eat when we were in Omaha for an appointment. Google sent us towards Smokin Barrel BBQ, and we are really glad Google did! It isn't a place we would have come by just by driving around! It was absolutely awesome. I had a brisket sandwich with baked beans. There was way too much meat for me to eat in one sitting. It was so tender that it just melted in my mouth. The beans were very good. Had plenty of pieces of meat to enhance the flavor of the beans. My husband had the ribs with potato salad. He loved them. He considers himself a "rib aficionado" and said these are some of the best he has had. After we got home (a 2 hour drive) he claimed that we weren't thinking when we left and should have grabbed some meat to bring home for supper! I told him next time..because there will definitely a next time! If you are looking for some place for lunch, we strongly recommend heading to Smokin Barrel BBQ!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE! Holy Herra- outstanding barbecue joint! My friend took me here for lunch and it was my first time eating here. The smell is amazing as soon as you walk in. The pulled pork sandwich is a huge helping of moist pulled pork (enough for 2 sammiches). I added pickles, jalapeños and onions. Plus their spicy bbq and their bourbon bbq sauce are so jam packed with flavor 😋 I mixed them both on my sandwich. The potato salad is perfect. The baked beans have delicious chunks of meat in them and the sauce is on point.

First off, don't be put off if there is a long line. It moves fast and the deliciously savory smell of the smoke and food keeps you happy to wait your turn. The food is amazing. We got one pound of pulled pork, a half-pound of brisket, half a rack of ribs, potato salad, and a peach crisp for dessert. Having to drive all the way home with the smell of the food in the car was almost enough to make me stop and sample it first. I resisted though. The ribs have the perfect bite and the smoke comes through so well. The brisket is moist, delicious and melts in your mouth. The pulled pork was amazing. The potato salad is also very good. The peach crisp was good as well. This is a place you don't want to miss. Their sauces are on point and they need to bottle it 🥺.
