Wow! This is some of the best BBQ in the country. The best: Turkey, ribs, sweet sauce, cole slaw Also exceptional: Brisket, pulled pork, macaroni salad, baked beans, hot sauce (very hot) This is BBQ worth traveling for. Great for groups / take home and enjoy. read more

Meat heaven. Superb brisket; moist, lean and delicious with the regular BBQ sauce. Sides of sweet tots and potato salad were good too. Employees super friendly and the service was great. read more

I'll drive past every other bbq restaurant in Lawrence to get Biemer's Burnt-ends. I've been eating at Biemer's since they started in a gas station off 6th street. Drive-thru sure is handy when in a rush, but the restaurant is always clean and really well staffed. All the employees will help with food suggestions, but really there is nothing bad on the menu so you're safe no matter what you choose. read more

I'm from Georgia, and we have a different style of BBQ than KC down there. Biemer's is PERFECT. They have several vinegar-based sauces and the meat is always tender. Also the fried pickles are amazing and their hot vinegar sauce is the best! read more

Biemer's BBQ - My personal favorite sign in Lawrence. - Barbeque Near Me - Lawrence, Kansas

I really liked Biemer's! I'm from Oklahoma and it reminded me of home. I ordered a rib dinner to go. Most of my ribs were from the short end, so they were pretty small, barky and chewy, which I was okay with, but some people would hate. Definitely a fair portion for the price. The slaw had a vinegar dressing, so it was more like a salad to me than slaw, but it was still good. Baked beans were great: sweet and rich, not too runny or smoky. Note: the Hot BBQ sauce here is HOT! I've never had hotter BBQ sauce. I'm pretty sure they just added pepper extract to their regular sauce, but I couldn't tell since my eyes were watering and I started coughing a lot. Definitely try if you like spicy though! read more

First of all, I love this place. I think the staff members are great and friendly, and the food. The food is AMAZING. I love their burnt ends and the pulled pork sandwich. I believe it's a local place, so the price can be a bit pricey (I was a college student when I lived in Lawrence). As a college student in that area, I loved this place so much! Also, they have those stamp cards that says buy 8 sandwiches and get the next one free. HELLLOOOO FREE SANDWICHES!! So...why is it a 4 Star? I feel that over time, their price has gone up, but the portion has gone down. THIS IS PURELY MY OPINION. I understand lots of ingredients' prices have gone up, but still as a college student it wasn't a very welcoming experience. STILL, their SAUCES and MEAT ARE TO DIE FOR (the very hot sauce may actually kill you...) My favorite is the pulled pork sandwich combo- which comes with fries and a drink. I love mixing a hint of very hot ( VERY HOT ) and sweet. It's perfect. Oh and I recommend the Onion Rings. They are crispy and taste great with their sauces. read more

Stunning. I love BBQ. I used to have a shirt that said I love BBQ, (with a heart), but I lost it. Anyways. The menu has it all. The decor is pleasant. Plenty of pig collectibles to look at and admire as you await your order. The hot sauce is fire. I like it when the hot sauce makes my face feel warm. Would recommend. read more

Great spot! We stopped for lunch and ordered the BBQ Plate. Cashier was incredibly helpful and kind! I had the smoked turkey, pulled pork, potato salad and beans. Very very good! Wish I would've got the fries but it was just too much food. I will be back! read more

We loved this casual BBQ Midwest restaurant. Smoked ribs, fresh brisket, smoked turkey. Delicious sides- fresh coleslaw, baked beans, and fried string beans. An absolute must go if visiting the area. Friendly and prompt service. Delicious BBQ restaurant!!!!!! read more

GREAT food! Drove 30 minutes to take 20 senior citizens for lunch today. Everyone loved the meats, fried green beans, fries, cookies, and onion rings. Super nice staff with impeccable Service! Staff were smiling (genuinely), working hard, and having fun. Owner helps behind the counter and came out to talk to all customers to make sure everyone was satisfied with the food. Slaw is vinegar based, not mayo based tri-color, cole slaw. If it wasn't for that, I would have given them 5-stars, BUT that is a personal preference. I plan on taking my family here for lunch this summer. read more

This is the BBQ spot in Lawrence. Ribs are the best I've had. If you like to chew the rib bone and squeeze out the savory marrow with your teeth...this is your spot. read more

Great food and great service. The food was fresh and delicious. Will definitely be going back in the future to Biemer's! As a side note the prices are great too. Very inexpensive! read more

Would be 5 star but, I love their burnt ends and if you don't go for lunch they are always sold out.

It's okay. Average BBQ. Kind of pricey for what you get. Drive thru is slooowwwwww....

Well, I have been there twice, First with a buddy and got the Brisket Sandwich, It was good enough to go back sometime...Well i finally went back when i walked in the door The lady at the counter blew me away with her personality, Just a Open great person that Is by far a Great asset to have on Biemer's team. I wasn't sure on what i wanted, and didn't have to ask for the lady at the counter to offer her suggestions. (Turkey w/sweet bbq sauce) Now as many times that I have been to a bbq restaurant i Never walked in and said give me Turkey. I'm definitely a beef and rib guy. But with how confident she was with her suggestions I took her advice and went for the Turkey and Rib Plate. and WOW the Turkey was so delicious and Melted right in you mouth, (My mouth is dripping as I'm writing this review). But honestly Go their try it out and i guarantee you will be impressed. Best BBQ in Lawrence! read more

I've been to this bbq joint over 50 times and the food is always good. I would recommend the pull pork sandwich, ribs, and the chicken wings. The wings are some of the best I've ever had. The meat is served sauce-less but they have many sauces to choose from at the table. If you are looking for some really hot or sweet they have those sauces are by where you get forks and straws. The sweet sauce with the wings is a good combo. If you like sweet and spicy mix the sweet with the hot vinegar. Best BBQ in Lawrence read more

Went to this place for the first time to day. Absolutely delicious, some of the best bbq you can get in Lawrence. We ordered a couple brisket sandwiches and they were perfect along with the fried green beans and other sides. Biemers could've been a 5 star place but held on to a three because of the food. The owner of the restaurant is probably the most inconsiderate perv who was blocking the entire isle and condiment station, watched us wait and eventually walk around him multiple times while he was occupied with a table of 5 middle aged women. If you go, drive thru is the move. read more

Best BBQ in Lawrence. They do a great job with their brisket. Highly recommend burnt ends!

Fantastic BBQ, reasonable price in a modern, fun environment. This is a good place for casual groups, as you pay at the counter. They even had hot dogs on the menu for my picky eater kid. Will definitely be back. read more

Good food... pure bbq experience that is not sauced to death... one of the best in tbe area...

One of the many things I look forward to when coming on my yearly pilgrimage to Lawrence is Biemer's. I haven't had a bad thing in the joint. Check it out. read more

Barbeque at Biemer's is one of the best I have ever eaten. In addition, it is an all people friendly place. The owner is nice and thoughtful and really focused on customer service, which in today's world, is hard to find. I always have the rib dinner plate and if you go, try that. It is worth the stop and the repeat!!!!! Jan R. read more

Ok for bbq..the coleslaw has onions and vinegar dressing. Not a creamy slaw at all. The onions ruin the whole meal.

Close at 8:00pm or when the food runs out. Great way to be introduced to a BBQ. sadly they had already run out of ribs but since we walked in at 7:59 and they didn't even give us as much as a dirty look, we were happy to be able to eat. Pulled pork A+, fried pickles & green beans A++, everything we tried was tender, juicy and DElicious. Awesome service from all the wound staff. Thank you so much from Denver, CO! read more

This place is worth going too. Staff very friendly and helpful explaining the menu. Food was good the ribs fell off the bones. Only thing I would change is add Mac n cheese to menu plus the burnt ends need to be more burnt. Other than that I give it 4 stars! read more

We're a couple from Texas on our way to Minnesota and our hotel recommended Biemer's. It was so good that we adjusted our return trip to eat there on our way back to Texas. Ribs were outstanding and the service was exceptional. Would go back to Minnesota to eat there again. read more

Just okay at best. I'm new to the area and have been sampling many of the numerous BBQ joints. So I stopped into this one while driving by. Paid $11 for mediocre at best food. Nothing stood out. And there was hardly enough. It was meant to be a BBQ dinner and was more like a sampler. Never going back read more

Biemer's BBQ - $11 BBQ dinner. Burnt End and Sausage combo. Seriously!!!! Haha - Barbeque Near Me - Lawrence, Kansas

We were on a road trip last month and went through Lawrence, KS to visit some of our bestest friends. Hungry and tired craving barbecue what a wonderful surprise to find Biemer's BBQ. Who wouldathought that the best barbecue on earth is had in Lawrence? We had a sampling of just about everything and would be hard pressed to tell you what to order; it depends on your mood at the time. But you will not be disappointed. Right now I am craving the smoked turkey and potato salad. Burnt ends are my favorite. I could go on and on. The food is great. While the great food is the surprise and worth the trip from anywhere the staff was as great as the food. Maybe even better; tripping over themselves trying to make your eating experience as good as the food. We are in South Carolina and I'm thinking of a drive for a fix of BBQ at Biemer's. read more

My husband suggested we eat here for lunch on our way to Colorado from KC. I'm glad he did. My young granddaughter and husband split a rack of ribs and some potato salad, while I opted for the pulled pork sandwich and fries. Between the three of us, we finished off every bit of food in no time flat. The meat was tender and well-smoked. Four types of sauces were served at the table instead of the meat being sauced behind the counter...this is just the way I think it should be served. The building is small, clean and cute. The staff is friendly and efficient. The food is delicious. I'd definitely consider going back to Biemer's next time I'm in Lawrence. read more

My sister lives about 5-min drive from this BBQ joint and we love to use their drive-through service. I really love the smoked ribs, because they serve it with sauce on the side (I am not a big fan of sauces or too much dressing/gravy on my foods), and the smoky smell and tast of it. They have sweet and spicy sauce, and they are so good. Don't forget to enjoy their fried pickles while you're there, they are too good to be missed. My family stays around the dining table longer whenever we ordered take out from this place. read more

This place is really good! A bit stingy with the meat but my favorite side is the baked beans!

I really like this place. I wasn't expecting to like it as much as I did. First of all, the dining room is very inviting - clean and open. Second of all, the folks here are really friendly. Third, the service is super quick. What...what about the food you say? Well, first we have to talk about most barbecue places in the whole world - if you aren't whatever Oklahoma Joe's is now called, your barbecue isn't that special. Face it. It's probably a little dry. It probably doesn't have any magical taste qualities, but is dependable roasted meat. Biemer's is just like most places in that regard. Had the ribs, the pulled pork and the turkey and it was all just fine without being lyrical or magical or giving birth to unicorns on my tongue. That having been said...I tried the sauces, and they were all very, very good. Super yum. Well above the average. Winning. The hot and tangy was very pleasantly vinegary and hot without being unpleasantly firey, the sweet sauce wasn't too sweet, and the regular sauce was very solid and tasty. Combining the sauces was also a winning strategy. The french fries were good, the slaw was good, and I was a happy eater. I will return and sample the otter sides, but I'm very prepared to rate this place highly right now. Certainly my new, go-to, family friendly BBQ in Lawrence. [Update: it's the chicken wings! Barbecued and then flash fried. ORDER THE WINGS.] read more

When I got the ribs they were a little rubbery. But all of the other meats were good. I'll have to try this place again.

Absolutely delicious. We shared a pulled pork sandwich, a half pound of burnt ends, onion rings, and baked beans. The onion rings were crisp, the beans complex and flavorful, and the meat was unbelievably tender. Everyone was friendly and service was fast. Easily in the top three barbecue places I've ever had. If you are in Lawrence, you should go! read more

I still feel the same about their brisket and hot vinegar sauce. I dropped a couple stars because their sides aren't very good. Now that Vermont street is reopening at 1004 Massachusetts, it will be my first choice for BBQ. read more

The ribs fall off the bone. I like a mix of the regular & hot vinegar sauces. Delicious. Best ribs I've had.

Burn answer awesome. The potato salad is quite good as well. Beimers is not a fancy place but it is a down-home great barbecue place and I consider it to be one of the best if not the best in Lawrence. Oh yeah the people are great as well always friendly and willing to help. read more

Stopped in for lunch before the big game. The location is very convenient for going to the University. Service was EXCELLENT! I had the two meat combo meal. Turkey and brisket. It was very tasty. A co-traveler also had the fried pickles - delicious. We're definitely going to return. read more

Stopped here today on a whim for take out. The ribs were tender, smokey, and very good. The wings were AWEsome. Looking forward to trying more items on the menu. read more

I will agree their price is pretty high. But I have not experienced anything that wasn't delicious, and I always feel like im gunno 'splode when I am done eating here. The sauces are GREAT! I always go when I am in KS. The reason i gave a 4 star is because it is pricey and portions are small, but deliciousness is their saving grace. read more
