Sides and the bbq sauce were not any better. Overly sweet beans, the corn pie was very bland and mushy, the only good thing was the potato salad that felt more like an egg salad with a few potatoes but I still liked it over everything else. Overall, big disappointment for me and I wouldn't choose this over some of the better barbecue spots we have in Omaha.

I had the Sweet Thai Chili Chicken Sandwhich, which has two big fried tenders coated in a sweet Thai chili sauce that wasn't too spicy paired with a slaw that nicely complimented the sweetness from the sauce. The fries of fluffy and crispy, perfectly seasoned with fresh pepper and course salt. The bang bang sauce is a must to dip the fries in but the kickin' bacon ranch sauce that came alongside the dipping tots appetizer takes the crown. Tiny cubed potatoes merged into a log, fried to perfection on the outside.... I need that every time I go. You order at the front and they give you a buzzer that will alert you when you can pick it up from the counter. The lady at the front was happy to give us a few recommendations for our first visit and didn't miss. The interior has a few tables to sit groups of 2-4, but they have larger tables out on their patio.

There's only a couple seats inside, but that's no problem when there's so many tables outside and next door at Twisted Vine where you can get a nice cold drink with your meal. I ordered the bang bang chicken sandwich with their salt and pepper fries. The sandwich comes with so much chicken that I had to take a piece out to take a bit out of it! The tenders were so juicy and crispy even with the amazing bang bang sauce all over it. I haven't had salt and pepper fries in a while, but these were fantastic with their ranch dipping sauce. The staff was so friendly and quick to get our food out. They hand you little pagers to let you know when your order is done so you can hang out and not crowd the inside area. This is a lovely scratch kitchen and I can't wait to come back!

My sausage was barely warm but tasted ok, unfortunately I don't care for cold food. The young gentleman behind the counter was nice and polite, but when he asked the gentleman in the kitchen a question, he was a disgusted look for even asking. We should have been concerned with the fact that the person he asked had a rather long beard with no hair net on it leaning over the food. All in all, it was a pretty terrible experience, and we will not be returning.

I don't love a hot bbq sauce and it was just perfect. The sweet bbq was also nice. The beans were ok. Nothing amazing. Would definitely return and putting this on our worth returning to list.

GREAT JOB Smokin Barrel, you have a new fan and I have my new favorite BBQ restaurant in the Omaha area.

But I'm not going to downgrade a restaurant because they are sold out of a signature food item. It takes time to make smoked meats and you can't just pull it out of a freezer like they would do at some places. They did have the smoked chicken breast. So we got that along with the fried catfish. It was all good so I can't complain more than a little. Their sides are really good, I love the spicy pickle mix. I also got the elote and it was delicious. Next time I come here, if they are out of the chicken, I will probably just order a bunch of side dishes. They have so many that's it's hard to decide on just 2. Service was great. Ambiance is nice. There is a big sports screen and they were showing the Little League College World Series. Last time I went they were showing something unusual too but I can't remember what it was. Just that it was more interesting than the usual. Which fits, because their food is much more delicious and interesting than you can get at "the usual" barbecue places.

Just amazing. I have also had the BBQ in the KC MCI Airport where they serve really good drafts alongside their really good BBQ. These guys are not like Pinkerton's where you are in a line up picking out your meats and sides cafeteria style. This place was the sit down with a menu and make your selections type of place. This is not a downside by any means...just different than what I experienced in Texas, more like the place at the MCI Airport. Anyways, hubby, son, and I selected the burnt ends, pulled pork, chicken, kielbasa sausage, double order of brisket, and ribs. Sides we chose included slaw, Mac n cheese, cornbread, and fried onions. All of the sides were really tasty, I can't choose a favorite, because I really liked all of them. The meats were all tender, the chicken was slightly on the drier side, but the rib meat fell off the bone, the sausage was juicy, the pulled pork was just right in flavor and tenderness, the burnt ends were amazing, and the brisket was tender and quite flavorful. And on the side of all of this loveliness were the sauces. You got 3 kinds to choose from: Spicy, sweet, and the traditional bbq. I liked all three. Hubby liked to mix all 3 together. And son of mine preferred the sweet one. We were dead silent aside from the sounds of yum coming from us. It reminded us of the MCI airport bbq place. Servers were pleasant, the place was clean as well. This was a very pleasant surprise to find here in Omaha. I will most definitely come back again!

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.

You can always tell a great BBQ when you don't need sauce to season or moisten the meat. Pulled pork was excellent, the the corn bread had to be the best I have had anywhere.
