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.

Been there, done that, don't need to come back!…read more Tried the 3 meat plate w/ brisket, chicken, and ribs, and mac & cheese and okra for the sides. First, upon ordering the prices they ​ charged me were higher than what was listed on the menu. When I asked about that, she just said the electronic menu needed to be updated. Apparently they don't care that that is illegal. The meat is all pre-cooked so they wrap it in plastic wrap and keep it in a warmer, so it was barely warm and there were bits of plastic in it. They were out of okra and had to make more. When they brought it out, it was in a paper bag. I dumped it onto the tray and it was waffle fries! I had to go back to the counter and get them to correct it. The girl in the back prep area was busy scrolling on her phone so the counter girl had to do everything. The chicken was so dry and hard that I could not stab it with the plastic fork. The brisket was chopped into tiny bits and was dry. It reminded me of kibble. The ribs were overcooked and dry as a bone. The sad little roll was ok, but there was no butter to be found. The mac and cheese was decent. Pretty good flavor and consistency. The okra was mediokra. Definitely frozen, and not homemade. The free ice cream wa so soft it ran off the cone so I filled my water cup with it and ate it with a spoon. That turned out to be the best part of the whole meal. I had been wanting to try this place for over a year. Overall, it was a huge, expensive disappointment.

I also wasn't too happy with the waitress. She seem so rude to my friends and I. They also seem to get the order wrong. They need to hire more professional people or at least train them better with good manners. The portions needs to better if they want customers to come back. This includes quality.

We actually drove by this place earlier today. Beautiful boarding house. Restaurant in a separate building which appears newer. And here we are after dinner on friday night. All foods were basic prep of days past. So...rather plain, not much seasoning. But real good handmade everything. We selected brisket and chicken. Both were good. Scalloped potatoes and baked beans, also real good. Beans probably our favorite. Dessert of a brownie and mud pie cake. The cake was new for us. A glass of white moscato was good. Small bottles of Sutter Home. Guessing, not much alcohol is consumed here. Owner Bob, stopped and told us wonderful story of this place which in distant times, his wife's family homesteaded the farm here. She operates the lodge and they live there also. Part of the original house makes up the hotel lodge. We did not tour the lodge/bed and breakfast house. Amazing story and pleasant staff, atmosphere and overall experience. Special events can be booked here. The restaurant building is a long-time-ago barn. No appearance of that now.

The first bite of that pepperoni pizza roll with the obviously fresh yeast bread dough roll, the meat sauce, the garlic cream sauce...then the fresh beer-battered fish and really good crispy french fries, and a home made cole slaw that's just about as good as my husband's late Southern grandma's cole slaw (which is really high praise.) The Lucky Seven pizza was also delicious with a perfect crust and big chopped veggies like mushrooms and peppers. Service was friendly and attentive; the decor is clean and on the more minimalist side while also comfortable and welcoming. Agree with all the other reviewers, this is absolutely an amazing experience--this meal will be one of the great memories of our road trip from Sugar Land, Texas (greater Houston area) to South Dakota and Mount Rushmore.

He had the Good Vibrations on a gluten-y bun. Boy, oh, boy, were they tasty! We demolished both sandwiches off before our EV even finished charging (and our EV likes to slurp electrons quickly).

We got a salad and I would not advise that option. Although fresh, it didn't have much going on, but was respectful as a side salad to the filling sando. Gives hippie, rock band garage vibes with an arcade on the second floor and a sick patio in the downtown area.
