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.

We visited on Memorial Day, and Dory opened up the shop for us. While the food is pre-made, he did chop up the chicken and ribs for us. We ordered 2 lbs of each. The chicken had a unique sweet and savory flavor profile that was intriguing and delicious. The ribs were unique, and had a crunch exterior that we assumed was skin. They were good, but the chicken is definitely worth coming back for.

The whole crew came in and set up quickly to feed the hungry huskers. In just minutes two large spreads of meat, sides, and salads was laid out. The food itself was outstanding. The brisket was lined with a super flavorful and slightly spicy coating. The ribs were tender and also packed a little heat. Theyre house made sauces like hot and spicy packed a punch on the pulled chicken. The mac and cheese would surely be welcome at any cookout. Overall Aaron and his team did a fantastic job with a tall order, and I would recommend them to cater another large event again.

There was minimal "pork" in the middle of the bun and it was dry. In hindsight I should have kept driving after my first interaction.
