Stopped by and I was very impressed. Probably the best barbecue spot in Council Bluffs area all the meats were very tender. The sides were good. The mac & cheese was a stand out. It was very creamy. The baked beans had a good smoky flavor. All the sauces were great would come back in. The service is great as well and the restaurant is nice and clean. read more

I ordered at the counter. Took 20 minutes to get our order. There is a charge for using a credit card of $2.07. I didn't get what I ordered. I didn't discover it till I got home. I even mentioned to the person at the counter that I had an extra honey cake. The fry portion was super small. It was supposed to be for two people. I get more from Burger King or McDonalds. My ribs were pink and looks underdone. Very disappointing! read more

Great food and lots of it Clean inside and friendly staff can't wait to return back for some more ribs

Not too bad of a place. Service was fairly decent in terms of friendliness and speed. Food was certainly filling as well as flavorful. Though it's not of perfect quality (particularly the brisket which was quite fatty, I'd say that I enjoyed the sides a bit more), it is nonetheless worthy enough to give this place a shot. Perhaps I will try it again in the future. read more

came here October 2 2026 during lunch hours food was cold service was mid food came quick but the portions were tiny for what i paid for and it was cold not very good highly don't recommend this place don't waste your money here genuinely read more

We had the brisket Burger. It was beautifully smoked and flavorful- definitely will be eating that one again! We also had the rib tips which were tender, well smoked and sauced generously with the sweet & spicy sauce. It was some of the best barbecue I've had in this area. I can't wait to try their other sauces! read more

We went in for takeout nobody was in the front to greet us. It took them about 7 minutes for someone to come out and then he said he would be with us shortly. They had a sign advertising a chicken special but they were out they probably should've taken the sign down. We did get the 3 meat platter. Brisket, ribs and pulled pork. All were delicious. But the ribs were my favorite and the brisket was the hubs favorite. No sauce needed for the ribs but I used just a tad for the brisket. The pulled was just ok. Next time I will try that with coleslaw. The fries were undercooked and soggy but we got them to go. The stream does that. No fault of their own there. The hubs loved the dirty rice. The corn cakes ere pancakes of cornbread. Tasty but nothing to write home about. I hope they step up their game on service because the meat is great and I would like to try their other sides read more

A friend suggested this place and it it did not disappoint! My husband and I tried the bbq platter with macaroni and cheese, baked beans and fries. The brisket was the best we have tried around Omaha! It was moist and very well seasoned! The cook came out and asked if we enjoyed are food. Told us to take his card so we would k ow when they were serving burnt ends. I want to come back and try my favorite brisket nachos. Cute little eating area with soft music in the background. It will be a definite repeat! read more

BBQ Brothers - Bbq platter - Barbeque Near Me - Council Bluffs, Iowa

I went here with a friend a couple months ago and we didn't have a great experience. I went one time before and they were out of meat so I was hoping the second time would be a lot better. We walk in and weren't greeted at all. We waited for about 10-15 minutes to order while a big order was being prepared for the customer in front of us. I order the brisket sandwich and fries. The kid helping us didn't seem like he wanted to be there. I saw the cook come out from the back and he looked like he didn't want to be there either. No smiles or anything. All of the food was just okay. You can tell its just reheated meat from the day or two before. The flavor was of the meat was good though. The fries were barely cooked. The sauces were just okay, again nothing special. I probably won't go back as the service was not good and the food was mediocre. read more

BBQ Brothers - Brisket samich with 'seasoned' fries. (They weren't seasoned.) - Barbeque Near Me - Council Bluffs, Iowa

We were there for BBQ to take home. For anyone who doesn't know where this is located it is in the building that 'used to be' an ice cream place....Then Doozies and NOW BBQ Can not say if you can eat inside the building there is a very small eating area as we used it when it was Doozies. The BBQ was very good!. Took home a sliced smoked brisket. Would strongly recommend it as local place for BBQ,,,,I don't know if they have and sell sauce as we had favorites at home. We especially liked the BBQ beans..... Stood out side for a few minutes and visited with one of the brothers. Think one does the smoking and the other met with customers. YES! give it a try read more

Went here with a buddy for lunch recently. I got the two meat dinner with jalapeño cakes, baked beans, and Mac and cheese. He got the brisket sandwich. We had tried to go other times but it wasn't open or they had run out of food which is a good sign for a bbq place. Being a new place they definitely have some links to work out with service and timeliness. If that was the only issue I would've been happy. Every piece of meat and each side except the beans were cold. Not just room temperature but actually cold as if they'd been pulled out of the fridge. The sad part is that the flavor of each item was actually quite good which is why I'm going 2 stars instead 1. Like other restaurants I'm not holding it against them if they serve food that's been refrigerated but when you have a decent product at least warm it up and try to make it appear fresh. I really wanted to love this place as we don't have very good local bbq options in CB but I don't think I could be convinced to ever come back. If the food was served warm and more fresh this place could've easily been 4 stars. read more

BBQ Brothers - Six bone with fries and mac & cheese honey cake - Barbeque Near Me - Council Bluffs, Iowa

First time for me at this place and I don't think it'll be the last. I had Brisket, Turkey, Baked Beans and Green Beans. The brisket and turkey were very good, flavorful and moist. The baked beans had just enough spice for my palette. But, if you were to ask me I'd say the crowning jewel of my dinner was the green beans!! I've had green beans from all over the country and have never tasted any as good as these. If you want great green beans go to Brothers, and pickup some awesome barbecue while you're there. read more

Heard about this place and tried it with my wife. I got the two meat dinner brisket and turkey, my wife got the brisket dinner. Both were great. Service was fast. Will definitely be returning here. read more

I stopped down here as I'd heard there was a new BBQ spot in town. This place is a small building down by Manawa. The staff were very polite. I ordered the brisket sandwich (next time will definitely try some of their sides) and the brisket was melt in your mouth and delicious. I didn't try their BBQ sauce but will do that next time, as well! Newer business that deserves some support! read more

Drive by often and stopped in today. The brisket sandwich was full of meat, very good, and a deal for 10.00 Got the combo with baked beans that I also recommend! Friendly prompt service! Highly recommend! read more

I stumbled upon their food truck at the farmers market. I ordered the brisket sandwich with a side of Mac'n cheese. On the brisket I tried the slaw and onion ring for toppings. For sauce I got both! Sweet and the Spicy. The sandwich hit the spot. Very tasty. The side of Mac'n cheese was good too, nice and seasoned. The gentleman that took my order was very friendly. The truck looked slick and clean, menu was simple and easy to read. Next time I see this truck around, I will be stopping back ! read more
