There is one location in Nebraska that stands out from the others, regardless of whether you are a staunch supporter of brisket, a purist of pulled pork, or someone who considers sauce to be a side dish rather than a way of life. It is the kind of establishment where the smoke sticks to your clothes (in a positive manner), the ribs slip off the bone with a wink, and the coleslaw is aware of the supporting role it plays.
Even though we wanted to dive headfirst into a plate of ribs, we did not personally sample the goods. This is something that we would want to disclose from the beginning. But this location has earned its moniker in a fair and honest manner, as seen by the raving reviews, the local legends, and the kind of reputation that literally makes one’s mouth water at the sight of it.
There is one barbecue restaurant in Nebraska that completely dominates the rest of them, so get a handkerchief (or five) ready, because things are about to get spicy!
Smokin’ Barrel BBQ in Omaha is ranked as the greatest barbecue restaurant in the state of Nebraska, according to a list that was just compiled by LoveFood.
The following is what LoveFood had to say about the restaurant that is considered to be the best BBQ restaurant in the local area:
“The best brisket in Nebraska can be found at Smokin Barrel BBQ, a former food truck run by a Texan that now has a permanent spot in a strip mall. The meat served here is renowned for its deep, delicious smokiness. The stacked pulled pork sandwich and smoked turkey are both divine – and the Texas chili is also hard to beat. Although the location is very bare bones, the service is second to none.”
