I am so glad we stopped at Smokin Barrel Bbq. It's not to far from our home. I asked if they had…read moreany burnt ends, and I was told they did not, but they would have them this coming week..it would be posted on Facebook. I then asked what they recommend and I was told the brisket. So that's what I got and oh my was it good. The meat was flavorful, juicy and just the right amount.my sandwich was served on a rotella roll and I got chips as my side. My husband got the brisket and sausage sandwich with bean and he raved about them. They had 3 bbq sauces: sweet, bourbon and spicy. I had tried all of them, I just preferred the spicy. The owner did bring me 2 burnt ends to try.. and guess what? They were so good, I will be watching and go back on the day they are posted as their special. GREAT JOB Smokin Barrel, you have a new fan and I have my new favorite BBQ restaurant in the Omaha area.

I've had the opportunity to try Porky Butts a couple of different ways. My family and I decided to…read moredo dinner one night so we all met up at Porky Butts. Their menu is vast and full of variety and I felt myself feeling nervous attempting to decide. Luckily, my sister and brother in law had the idea of ordering several items on one of their platters. I thought this was the perfect way to feed 6 people. I believe we got a few other things along with it, like the potato salad, an order of just burnt ends and an extra order of corn bread. There was something for everyone! We got to try their BBQ chicken and turkey as well as some pulled pork and ribs. I was happily impressed. I also loved how clean the restaurant and bathrooms were. There was ample staff around to bring out the meals, pick up some plates that were empty, and refill waters. Just recently, my workplace catered Porky Butts BBQ for our meal for inventory. They brought all the food, and napkin dispenser, utensils, and plates along with enough staff to set up and serve for 4 hours. The staff were genuinely kind, polite, and professional. Greeting each employee as they came into the breakroom and were excited to serve us. It was such a delight. The food was just as delicious as when I tried it in the restaurant. We got to choose from beans, corn bread, pulled pork, sliced BBQ chicken, and mac and cheese. They had buns available if you wanted to eat the pork or chicken as a sandwich and several different BBQ sauces to add on if you chose. They also had butter and honey packets for the bread. Just like my visit at the restaurant I was impressed and so full by the time I finished my meal. Porky Butts is a proven winner!! I'd definitely visit their restaurant again soon and if I need anything catered, I'll absolutely think about Porky Butts!

Their smashburger is elite, especially for a bbq joint, the sides are all top knotch (the streetcorn is my favorite), their tacos might be the best value on the whole menu with the amount of meat you get. The showstopper is the brisket. Perfect every time. Throw it on a burger and you've got a dangerous combination! I love taking people there for lunch, it's only a few blocks from the office and it's always fast from order to table. If you like bbq, tacos, burgers or are just craving some kickass mac n cheese - hit up Js for sure.

While I haven't tried every BBQ establishments in Omaha, I can't give this one enough stars. Some of the best BBQ and sides I've enjoyed. Tender, juicy ribs, brisket and the pull pork, OMG.

The street corn, Mac n Cheese were delicious as well. A very good impression for this first time visitor. Got to give them love.

The brisket we ordered was thin, dry, and not even a pound, even though we paid for it. The burnt ends were also terrible, chewy, and dry.

You can always tell a great BBQ when you don't need sauce to season or moisten the meat. Pulled pork was excellent, the the corn bread had to be the best I have had anywhere.

We ordered the Carolina Pork (topped this coleslaw) sandwich and the brisket sandwich. I think it's important to note that we are in KC style territory, so a North Carolina native might not give the pork five stars but I think a Midwesterner would appreciate it. The brisket was tender and flavorful. The sides were mighty! The potato salad was ranked a "must order" and described as "church picnic" quality, due to the high ratio of eggs and mustard. We tried the fried cabbage with bacon; if you enjoy greens I felt like this was a cabbage variant and quite tasty. We have vowed to return to try the sandwich that comes topped with hot links!! I also want to try the ribs, the smokers outside looked rib-ready. Combos consist of a sandwich, side and can of pop and if you order to go things are wrapped up in a fashion that's guaranteed to not tip over. I think you should go visit, and help us sample our way around the menu.
