The owner was the cashier & the waiter, its also small family owned business. The owner also said they do have the best lemonades west of Mississippi so i had to get it! The menu was super easy to read and the owner also very helpful explaining his specials. The food was so amazing bursting with flavors and i would most definitely recommend coming here if your craving some homestyle BBQ!

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.

Don't forget the delicious bbq sauce! They went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed and more. There was plenty of space to make you feel comfortable if you are a party of 2 but big enough to hold a gathering if need be. Highly recommend

Probably the worst barbecue we have had! It's a cool place in an old Caseys and when they first…read moreopened, it was pretty good. I had the two meat platter that consisted of two small strips of brisket that tasted like roast beef. No smoke flavor at all and about a half of a piece of sausage that tasted like it was boiled and then sliced. The burnt end beans had one tiny piece of burnt end. Kim had the same thing, but instead of beans had the smoked hashbrowns that tasted like mush and no seasoning. These platters are $19.99 each and I feel violated! There's not a lot of choices in Marysville Kansas, but this is definitely off my list!

The fact that it is an oasis in the middle of cornfields is just a bonus. First of all the beer is good. Mostly mild, no doubt there for the big label drinkers, but a solid IPA Anchors it for those of us micro lovers. First time I went I did the 3 1/2 miles of gravel road on my triumph... and it was worth it. The next night I went back in my 4x4 so I could take home some pizza and gifts. So far I've had the three meat mac & cheese, pretzels and beer cheese are awesome, and I got to take home a chicken bacon Alfredo pizza, although I really wish I would've tried the sausage and kraut pizza, I might have to go back one more time. The service was outstanding, especially considering people are lined up throwin their money at these folks. Well done ladies

Went with Chicken Fried Chicken, Fried Okra and Hushpuppies. Chicken Fried Chicken was crunchy on the outside and tender inside with a delicious brown sauce served over it. Fried okra and Hushpuppies were very good. Portion was good sized. They also gave me a free sample of Red Beans and Rice which are definitely worth ordering. Prices were very good. Be aware that there is a additional charge when using a credit card. Service was friendly. Definitely worth a visit. Enjoy

We arrived about 9pm and there was a sign that said kitchen closed, after driving all day we were parched and looking for a bite to eat. We asked if it was closed... it was, but they opened the kitchen back up for us! How genuine and kind! We ordered pickle chips, and each got a sandwich and a side, it's worth coming just for the double cheeseburger! It was absolutely huge and totally worth the price, tasted like mom made when I was a kid. Definitely homemade! We had two rounds each, and stayed to chat. We ended up being the last ones in the bar. Our server - Stacey is incredible, very sociable and kind! At the end of the night she bought us a round! The ambiance is your favorite small town bar! A pool table, juke box, casino games and beer signs fill the well lit bar. There were signs that mentioned this bar was for sale and sounds like the owners are looking to retire, I sure hope this bar has a long life, if not with the current owners then with new owners - this is going to be a new staple for us on our way through town!
