5 stars for food 5 stars for service 5 starts for clean 5 stars for classic country on the radio I just got back to Lawrence after 4+ years in New York. Meaning I was in a good bbq desert. I went right to Biemer's. I was a little apprehensive because I was a happy, loyal customer from the very beginning--I did not want to be let down. If I remember right, there was even one time the owner delivered my order, back when they did delivery, in pouring snow and bad conditions, with piping hot food. But I was not disappointed. I got my staple--the smoked turkey baked potato and covered it with the sweet and tangy sauce. Delicious. My husband (also a long-time fan) was happy with his pulled pork sandwich with the hot vinegar sauce. Not much more can be said about it--it's really great food. Right up there with the best I've had in Georgia, Oklahoma, Tennessee... Bonus Biemer's is the type of place everyone can feel comfortable in. It's decorated like a classic, casual bbq restaurant, with everything very well up-kept and clean. It has huge windows with natural light and a great view of the park. Real mix of people working there, and eating--which, to me, is the best sign of great food. (Some tattooed and pierced like me, some office workers, and some t-shirt and jeans my Okie grandparents would approve of.) And when I was there, a Willie-centric playlist was playing. Which made me very happy. I'm still a loyal fan. read more

Best BBQ outside of Kansas City. You need to get here as close to meal time as possible to enjoy moist, delicious smoked meat. Plus, there are a wide variety of sauces to try. My favorite has to be the hot vinegar. read more

This is the real deal. You smell the smoke as soon as you walk in. Came with a large group a few weeks ago and we all had a variety of things off the menu and the universal opinion was that everything was good. I had the ribs and you could see a nice smoke ring on the meat that was still moist and flavorful. The sides were all good and the beer was cold and cheap. Keep up the great work. Will be back for sure next time I'm back in Lawrence. read more

I went for my brothers birthday a couple months back and I loved it. The food was delicious and I loved their sauces. The service was so good I had to tell the manager (well, my mom made me) and I never do that. Go there! read more

Went here as it was highly recommended by locals and I was from out of town, expecting something great considering all the hype with "Kansas City BBQ" but this place was super mediocre. The buns tastes like dollar store bread.. They don't even put any sauce on the meat, and the service wasn't service at all. My suggestion.. Make the hour trip and get yourself some real Kansas City BBQ from Jack Stacks. This place sucks read more

The ribs and brisket were very tender. It isn't often I clean every bit of meat from a rib, but in this case it left you wishing for more. We were told to go here from our hotel desk clerk, you know those recommendations don't always pan out, not this time though. Take the time to go and enjoy a great experience. read more

Wow the ribs were wonderful, my favorite sauce was the regular but the vinegar was also good. Fried green beans are my friend. Norm had a nice pulled pork sandwich, he liked the regular sauce the best. 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.

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

I grew up eating bbq in Alabama and Georgia, so my bbq preferences aren't often met by the KC area bbq joints. But my search for good bbq was met by Biemer's in Lawrence. The pulled bbq pork sandwich, fries and baked beans have a great taste and are served in good portion sizes that are filling but don't overload you. And this is all based on food that we picked up at the restaurant and drove 25 minutes home to eat. I can only imagine it would taste even better if it is eaten fresh at the restaurant. read more

I'm visiting from out of town and stopped for some BBQ. The staff couldn't be more friendly. Jim helped with suggestions made us feel very welcome, super nice. The ribs and burnt ends were delicious. I tried fried green beans and baked beans as sides. Both were great. This place had it all: great BBQ, cold beer and a very friendly staff. read more

After tough meetings and a bad day, I had the opportunity to try yet another restaurant in yet another city in another State. Biemer's was a great choice! The food was outstanding and I will have them cater my next business event but the tip of my hat goes to my server, Charlie. Her smile and attitude changed the course of my day. I can get good food at lots of places but that kind of friendly service makes traveling much easier. read more

Best in Lawrence, hands down. Right up there with ANY KC joint. Their smoked turkey is the best Ive had. I picked up a nice sampling of meats for a recent party, wow. Slab of ribs was spot on. Very friendly staff, highly recommended. read more

If they are out of burnt ends don't be surprised. It's cause they are the best thing on the menu. Order a half pound of burnt ends with baked beans. You won't be sorry. read more

Best que game in town. Bar none. Try the brisket. And LOVE their ribs.

Brisket was good as well as fries! I was not into the fatty burnt ends or old onion rings.

BBQ is expensive. That's a fact. I'm willing to spend $$$ on good BBQ. However, you also expect to get what you pay for. That's not being cheap, that's being logical. The food is average at best. However, it's ridiculous how little you get for the rather high price. read more

Biemer's BBQ - To go servings come in a zip lock bag. 1/2 pound of pork for $8.99 - Barbeque Near Me - Lawrence, Kansas

Absolutely loved your BBQ ribs and pulled pork! We came to town to visit and had it twice for dinner! As BBQ Texans, it was a serious competitor and actually ribs were better than our fav locally. Fried green beans were so delicious too! This is a place not to miss for BBQ at KU!! read more

I ordered the burnt ends (a pound). There were mostly fat. I was able to eat 1/4 if it as a result. I won't go back. Too expensive for that much fat. read more

After searching for BBQ nirvana in Lawrence, and getting stymied by closed shops, we drove by Biemers. Fantastic brisket. Great find!

Tremendous! This was the best barbecue stop we've had. We even got a full slab to go when we left. Ribs were fall off the bone, tender, and perfectly smoked. Baked beans and potato salad were also excellent. Prices were great on food and beers. Highly recommend! read more

Met some friends for lunch the other day. This place didn't look like much online, but sometimes that's just what to look for. I'll eat there again. Good BBQ. read more

Ribs were great - beans had nice junks of meat mixed in- very friendly staff!!! Great stop between Iowa and Dallas - several miles south of highway. read more

Ate at Biemer's BBQ today. It was delicious, the service was quick and the staff was great. I'll go back again!

My wife and I went there just minutes before closing time. The food was moist hot and delicious. They didn't try to run us out either. Very friendly and great bbq... Can't ask for more than that. read more

In town for the Texas-Kansas football game and stopped here for a pre-game lunch. Amazing BBQ! Some of the best we've had, smokey and tender brisket. Very friendly staff as well. Will definitely come back if we are in Lawrence again. read more

I live in Chicago where we have a few excellent barbecue places and this place was right up there with the best of them in Chicago. I really really liked their pulled pork and the thin sliced brisket was excellent also. read more

Probably some of the best barbeque I've had. Décor was just OK but those ribs and pulled pork made up for it. Would go back ion a heartbeat! Friendly, courteous staff. read more

I agree with Chase M. This place is just sad. Portions are sadder than a small appetizer. And by all means I am not expecting large or giant portions. read more

Living in KC I have access to quite a few BBQ Joints. I have had Jim Biemick's BBQ countless times and feel obligated to say that he is up there with the best of them. Everything on their menu stands out (ribs and burnt ends especially), and could compete with anyone in KC. Best BBQ wings I have ever had! The place is always extra clean and staff is very accommodating. I wish he had a location in Kansas City so I could go more often. Always my first stop when going to Lawrence on any occasion. Highly recommend!! read more

I'm veryyyy picky with my pork, but the pulled pork here wasn't too bad and I would def go for some again! I'm sorry that the person below me seems to have their mind in the gutter and/or can't appreciate a little humor, but oh well, pretty great joint to stop at! read more

This place was recommended to me by someone. It was billed as the best barbecue in Lawrence. I'll believe it. It's almost like a hole in the wall right off of Iowa St in north Lawrence. It has an eclectic decor and a friendly staff. I had a lunch plate with burnt ends (of beef brisket) and pulled pork with a couple of ribs (just to sample, as the sell them individually). I had potato salad and onion rings as a side. The burnt ends were great, especially when paired with their regular sauce. The ribs were out of this world-- some of the best I've ever had. Slow cooked and falling off the bone but not only that, the cartilage in the ribs had melted down to a jelly inside the meat. So good. The pulled pork was pretty good especially when constructed into a sandwich with the bun that accompanies the plate. I put some sweet and tangy sauce on it and it was delicious. The sides were fairly standard and the onion rings even a little greasy but overall this meal rocked. Great BBQ! read more

The ribs were flat out embarrassing...just a fatty mess. The meats and sides about the same. I have given this place 3 tries...no mas

Best BBQ in Lawrence. Quick and friendly service. The owner is a nice guy and he will some times walks around the restaurant and ask you how you are doing. read more

From CA and in Lawrence for a college hoop game. A must visit. Great country music as you stuff your face with phenomenal BBQ!

Love this BBQ place. Their wings are smoked not dripping with sauce. I like to squirt my own flavors onto my wings. Their brisket is also very tender I don't know what seasoning he puts on the fries but they are delicious. read more

Didn't actually get to eat here because on a Tuesday night at 6:30 they were out of burnt ends, pulled pork,ribs, and brisket. This is the majority of their items.....Seems to me they should be more prepared to serve food the entire time they're open... won't be going back. Not reliable. read more

I think my favorite thing about Biemer's is the BBQ sauce. Don't get me wrong, they have outstanding brisket and pulled pork, but their sweet BBQ sauce is by far my favorite. read more

I'm a regular here (as my cardiologist allows). The pulled pork sandwich is the best in Lawrence and I've tried their other meats as well (turkey, sausage) and have never been disappointed. Great staff and clean place. It's not cheap food but you get what you pay for...its high quality stuff. read more

Some of the best Bbq in town! The owner has put a lot of time in his craft. We try to go as often as we can. They do a great job catering.
