    I had a taste for BBQ during a recent trip to Kearney and chose S.A.M. Que since it was close to my…read morehotel, and a good spot to meet up with a friend. The BBQ aroma meets you at the door as soon as you walk in. There's plenty of seating, and the restaurant is bright, and clean. I ordered the two-meat plate since I wasn't super hungry, and it was just enough to satisfy my taste for BBQ. The smoked sausage wasn't greasy and had a nice snap to it. The sliced brisket was moist with good smoky flavor, and not fatty at all. The Cole slaw was good, but I wouldn't mind a slightly larger portion. The toasted slice of Texas toast filled up the little last bit of space I had in my stomach. The meats were flavorful, and just what you'd want if you have a taste for BBQ. Service was quick, and friendly at the time of my visit which was on a Saturday afternoon. A good place for BBQ if you're not too picky, and hungry for some smoked meats.

    In Kearney for conferences often, and kicking myself for not trying this place sooner. Solid as a…read morebbq joint can get, and the service is very friendly. Ordered the three meat plate with beans and fries and had to stop myself from finishing the entire plate.....they give you a lot of food. The brisket and turkey were equally tender and smoked to perfection. The beans were a highlight. You can tell they go all in on them. The ribs were great, too, and though it didn't need them, the sauces were all very flavor-forward and delicious. Great spot and I am looking forward to coming back again and again.

    I love smoking meats, and when it comes to barbecue, my preference is Texas style. Fortunately, the…read morefolks at Canyon Joe's Barbeque feel the same way. Founder Joe Hager developed his barbecue craft through his experiences in Texas, and he's bringing some of the best Texas-style barbecue in Lincoln to the table. I placed a to-go order over the phone and was impressed by how helpful the staff was in walking me through the menu -- from portion sizes to side recommendations and other options. When I arrived, the order was quickly prepared, boxed fresh, and ready to go. There are several must-try items here: * **Beef Brisket** -- Tender, juicy, and beautifully smoked with a perfect bark. * **Pork Ribs** -- Exactly how ribs should be done. They don't "fall off the bone," because great ribs shouldn't. Instead, the meat pulls away cleanly with just the right amount of tenderness, much like competition-style barbecue ribs. Perfectly smoked and not drowned in sauce -- absolutely outstanding. * **Borracho Beans** -- A flavorful Tex-Mex classic made with pinto beans simmered in beer along with bacon, onions, garlic, tomatoes, spices, and chunks of brisket. The staff described them as "drunken beans," which is a pretty fitting description. Canyon Joe's Barbeque delivers a true slice of Texas barbecue -- the kind that pulls gently off the bone and keeps you coming back for more.

And some parking lots directly outside. Food was absolutely heavenly. Hubby ordered a 3 meat platter with 2 sides We had burnt ends, ribs and brisket with mac and cheese and coleslaw. Everything was delicious. And when we were done, hubs and i shared the banana pudding. We will be back. Psst: Our little one got the bones and a tast of the bottom of the banana pudding. And absolutely loved it. Tip: if you're a vet, they have a spot for veterans directly outside.
