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.

The soup yesterday was a (sweet potato chowder) with big chunks of perfectly cooked sweet potato surrounded by home grown sweet corn, celery and sausage. It was fantastic. I had the chicken salad sandwich, my wife and very nice salad and my sister had the Thai wrap. All were amazing,. This wonderful spot has incredible desserts as well with very generous portions. The carrot cake and homemade vanilla ice cream was off the charts. Easy street parking make it easy and very much worth driving 50 miles to experience. We will plan on coming through Nebraska City at lunch time so that we can return soon I hope.

Went for the Mother's Day buffet. Not very pleased. Asked for a table closer to the buffet, think…read morewe literally got the table farthest. Both my mother in law and myself have mobility issues. None of the cold food was on ice. Had to stand in line for buffet for almost half an hour twice. Got here at 11am, almost 12:30 and the line for the buffet reaches out the door. They only have one side of the table to serve and all the food was almost room temp. They were serving prime rib and would give you a 2"x3" piece. For the price I had to pay and the lack of quality of food, I was not impressed. They did fairly well filling the trays, but left the mess around it. Plus my husband had to ask for all drink refills.

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. The food was so salty that we found big chunks of salt in it. The baked beans were okay. I think the best part of our meal was the fries. I do really appreciate the service. The server was very accommodating and kind.

Some stand outs to me were the rolls. Move over Texas Roadhouse, these are the best rolls I've ever had. And that was just the first bites. We had corn about 6 different ways, and as a ceratifed corn head, this was terrific. Each dish was so thoughtfully curated and executed. I can see why this is such an occasion place, but even breakfast the next day was great. The cinnamon rolls are out of this world. The views of the hazelnut fields and all the greenery really feels otherwordly. Truly one of my favorite dining experiences as of late.

Before Covid timber's restaurant was the best. They had a great buffet, and their meals, even though expensive were worth it. My family and I and our adult kids all went over July 4 weekend. We had a terrific time except for the Timber's restaurant. The food was terrible.. there were 12 of us, and although the service was five stars, we couldn't believe the quality of the food. Not one of us had a good meal, which I know seems hard to believe. I will give one example... Two eggs, potatoes, and bacon. $22. We asked for the eggs over medium and they came over hard. They apologized and brought us two more eggs, both over hard again. Should be simple to make eggs... And why $22? At dinner a couple of my boys ordered steaks medium rare. They were delivered medium well... both of their steaks were overcooked. It was $35 for a piece of meat that was overcooked and the sides were extra. For what they charge at Timbers, you would think you were getting a great meal, but that's not the case. We couldn't eat our deviled eggs; it tasted like an ingredient had expired? We never return food, but we had to send this back. I'm not sure what happened, but five years ago, the restaurant was great. Now it is honestly terrible and overpriced. Timber's, seriously, you need to look at your menu, hire better cooks, and charge a fair price. The Lied Lodge is so great and your staff is terrific, but your restaurant can be better.

In short, it's the best BBQ I've had in Lincoln…read more I was concerned because my food was on the tray ready for me as soon as I swiped my debit card. I had the Double Barrel (brisket and pulled pork) sandwich and the cornbread. Wow, it was great! The Spicy BBQ sauce was phenomenal, as was the sweet BBQ sauce. I'm not a mustard guy so it's the one I didn't try. I will DEFINITELY be back to try out more of the menu.

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!

I was salivating over pictures of ribs online recently, and went in search of something delicious…read morein Omaha as I have yet to be able to cook bbq properly myself. I headed to Porky Butts after reading rave reviews. I bought the Family Platter, said to feed 2-3. I can see that. It seems like a lot of food. A half-rack of ribs is plenty for a small family to try when it comes with 1/3 lb. each of two more meats. My go-to is pulled pork, and just to be different, I made this dinner a pork-a-pallooza by choosing smoked ham as the second meat. The ribs are really good -- the meat comes off the bone easily and has great flavor. The pulled pork was disappointing, though. It seemed really wet, and not from sauce. Like overcooked, too much steam, maybe? Who know. But the ham! OMG, the surprise entry in this extravaganza was soooo delicious! Not too smoky, not overly salty, tender and, dare I say, worthy of being a main selection when I come back! Two large containers of sides were both great. The beans were saucy, smoky, and filled with threads of, I dont know, brisket? The mac and cheese was flavorful and very creamy. I didnt want to wait for dinner after my first taste test! Cornbread is moist and delicious and that's before any butter or honey. Folks behind the counter were quick and friendly (it was a to-go order). And even at 2 in the afternoon tables were populated and carryout was hopping. As for carryout, I wonder why the sauce containers are so tiny. Be loud -- be proud, and use less plastic with a single container that hold three of those tiny ones. And that pulled pork, it made a good sandwich, but it wasnt A+ I will be back though. The variety of sides looks amazing and the sandwiches were very enticing!
