Smokin Barrel BBQ

We sampled all of their meat selection today. Brisket (nice bark), turkey, ribs and pulled pork. We tried their beans and chili. The brisket and ribs were our favorite . The chili was different than the Texas style we are used to but very tasty. The owner was a delight to talk to.

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!

Finally, I have a real go-to for BBQ here in Omaha. I've always thought I needed to travel to Kansas City for a BBQ fix. My wife brought me here a few weeks ago for lunch and I was impressed. Brisket is melt in your mouth and great smoke flavor. Brisket chili was on point. Smoked sausage delicious as well. Can't wait to go back.
