While visiting the Arbor Farm, we decided to eat at Porter's just adjacent to the gift shop. We both love BBQ and the menu looked good. I had the brisket plate, and my wife has a special St Louis style ribs plate that isn't on the menu. We arrived at the lunch hour peak but the wait wasn't long, service was friendly, and the food arrived promptly. The ribs and brisket were both delicious, as were the side. The pickled green beans were a first for both of us. There were plenty of spaces to eat at, but wish we would have noticed the outdoor tables or we would have eaten there instead of the main dining area. Overall a very pleasant lunch.

Best BBQ I've had in Nebraska! No need to drive 3 hours from Omaha to go to Kansas City for bbq. Porter's is located at Arbor Day Farm in Nebraska City. I had the burnt ends plate with coleslaw. It came with crunchy pickled green beans and Texas toast. The burnt ends were tender and not too fatty. So good! My husband got the chicken and baked beans. Also got a cider sushi for the kids and a slice of apple pie. Sadly, they were sold out of their ice cream but their apple pie is so good alone. There is indoor and outdoor seating. You can also get some cider or wine at the bar. Would definitely make the drive just to eat the BBQ.

Porter's is located in Arbor Day Farm. The bbq is made on site. I ordered the brisket sandwich and potato salad. Overall, it was okay. The brisket was smoked well and started out good first couple bites. Then I eventually got to a lot of fatty pieces and it was evident the brisket is not trimmed. That was a bit disappointing. The potato salad was not my favorite either. The service was good. The lady at the register was open and honest. She let us know the pies are frozen and not made fresh in house. She gave a sample of the apple cider slushy. That was really good and made onsite with the apples from the orchard.

All of the BBQ from Porters looked delicious. I chose the brisket, it was tender and moist, and the tasty smoke flavor permeated the beef. They source the finest quality ingredients, emphasizing local meat and produce, with much of the produce grown on site with plans to develop and expand their garden moving forward.

Lunch special: brisket sandwich with Mac n cheese and Cole slaw, burnt end beans on the side

I honestly can't say enough about this place. If you have not been here, you are missing out on…read moresome spectacular eats! We have tried almost everything on the menu and it was all fantastic. Our top favs include Texas Poutine with brisket ($9) the smoked chicken wings ($14.50), and three meat platter. Always upgrade to brisket and burnt ends. For the sides, we love the street corn, baked beans, fries, and potato salad. The place goes in waves, so be aware that you might eat right away or you might be in a line to the door. But it is absolutely worth the wait. Be sure to take in all the awards and trophies while you wait. Definitely shows they know their stuff. I also love all the TVs, so you can watch the games while you eat. They have people all over the place, so the tables are always clean. Hands down one of the must go to destinations in Omaha.

I was salivating over pictures of ribs online recently, and went in search of something delicious…read morein Omaha as I have yet to be able to cook bbq properly myself. I headed to Porky Butts after reading rave reviews. I bought the Family Platter, said to feed 2-3. I can see that. It seems like a lot of food. A half-rack of ribs is plenty for a small family to try when it comes with 1/3 lb. each of two more meats. My go-to is pulled pork, and just to be different, I made this dinner a pork-a-pallooza by choosing smoked ham as the second meat. The ribs are really good -- the meat comes off the bone easily and has great flavor. The pulled pork was disappointing, though. It seemed really wet, and not from sauce. Like overcooked, too much steam, maybe? Who know. But the ham! OMG, the surprise entry in this extravaganza was soooo delicious! Not too smoky, not overly salty, tender and, dare I say, worthy of being a main selection when I come back! Two large containers of sides were both great. The beans were saucy, smoky, and filled with threads of, I dont know, brisket? The mac and cheese was flavorful and very creamy. I didnt want to wait for dinner after my first taste test! Cornbread is moist and delicious and that's before any butter or honey. Folks behind the counter were quick and friendly (it was a to-go order). And even at 2 in the afternoon tables were populated and carryout was hopping. As for carryout, I wonder why the sauce containers are so tiny. Be loud -- be proud, and use less plastic with a single container that hold three of those tiny ones. And that pulled pork, it made a good sandwich, but it wasnt A+ I will be back though. The variety of sides looks amazing and the sandwiches were very enticing!
