    While visiting the Arbor Farm, we decided to eat at Porter's just adjacent to the gift shop. We both love BBQ and the menu looked good. I had the brisket plate, and my wife has a special St Louis style ribs plate that isn't on the menu. We arrived at the lunch hour peak but the wait wasn't long, service was friendly, and the food arrived promptly. The ribs and brisket were both delicious, as were the side. The pickled green beans were a first for both of us. There were plenty of spaces to eat at, but wish we would have noticed the outdoor tables or we would have eaten there instead of the main dining area. Overall a very pleasant lunch.

    Best BBQ I've had in Nebraska! No need to drive 3 hours from Omaha to go to Kansas City for bbq. Porter's is located at Arbor Day Farm in Nebraska City. I had the burnt ends plate with coleslaw. It came with crunchy pickled green beans and Texas toast. The burnt ends were tender and not too fatty. So good! My husband got the chicken and baked beans. Also got a cider sushi for the kids and a slice of apple pie. Sadly, they were sold out of their ice cream but their apple pie is so good alone. There is indoor and outdoor seating. You can also get some cider or wine at the bar. Would definitely make the drive just to eat the BBQ.

    Porter's is located in Arbor Day Farm. The bbq is made on site. I ordered the brisket sandwich and potato salad. Overall, it was okay. The brisket was smoked well and started out good first couple bites. Then I eventually got to a lot of fatty pieces and it was evident the brisket is not trimmed. That was a bit disappointing. The potato salad was not my favorite either. The service was good. The lady at the register was open and honest. She let us know the pies are frozen and not made fresh in house. She gave a sample of the apple cider slushy. That was really good and made onsite with the apples from the orchard.

    All of the BBQ from Porters looked delicious. I chose the brisket, it was tender and moist, and the tasty smoke flavor permeated the beef. They source the finest quality ingredients, emphasizing local meat and produce, with much of the produce grown on site with plans to develop and expand their garden moving forward.

    Our second time at Cattle Call, and it was just as good as the first time. I love that their menu…read morechanges so the offerings were different this time around we stopped in before a show at the Steelhouse, it was an easy walk to and from the venue. We ordered several appetizers and had drinks. The servers were friendly and the food was delicious. The Crudo was fresh and bright with a bite of spice. Burrata was soft and creamy with tamarind, orange and mint. Highly recommend the Steak Tartare the meat was velvety and the timmur chips had a great crunch for a contrast in texture. Lastly, you can't go wrong with an order of Momos, we got them steamed pork and I could have had 3 more orders. We'll definitely be back!

    We really enjoyed our date night at Cattle call! We were able to grab a reservation same day for an…read moreearly dinner and were seated right away. Overall, our server was great and attentive. We started with the pork momo. We've had these before and they're always a great choice. The filling was rich and flavorful, the dumpling dough was perfectly chewy and the dipping sauces added another level of depth and flavor. For mains we split the duck breast and the tagliatelle. The duck was cooked perfectly and the bok choy that came with it added a perfect amount of crunch and mustard flavor. The tagliatelle was rich and the variety of mushrooms in the sauce added so much umami. We look forward to returning!
