    Burnt ends, pulled pork, fries, cabbage, and a cookie.
    Brooke L.

    I realized recently that I love BBQ and that we've got some great bbq places here in Omaha. Wayne's was quick, affordable, and delicious! They do call ahead orders and they have a drive up window for your convenience. There's a few tables and chairs inside if you want to sit there and eat. I got burnt ends, pulled pork, French fries, fried cabbage, a cookie and a drink for less than $20 and literally everything was delicious.

    A new to us BBQ spot.

    The ribs were delicious; smoked just right and perfectly tender. The brisket was chopped, also tender and flavorful. We found this place with a "BBQ near me" search and don't know that we would have ever know about it otherwise. This is a small place, though you can dine in. We got ours to go and enjoyed a chopped up hot link on the way home. The baked beans had ground beef and a nice tangy flavor and fries were seasoned well. I LOVE dirty rice but their rice was not as flavorful as e rest of the food. 4/5 stars for that and the price seemed a bit high. (A slice of apple pie was $6) We will try this place again; next time catfish filets. The service was super. Parking lot right next to the building.

    I've driven past a dozen times.... BBQ pops in my brain.. Yes - let's try Wayne's - Tiny little spot - Do not I'll say it again so not pass by this place. Holy deliciousness I called in an order- said I'd be there in 20- he said I'll see ya soon- Fries sizzling as I walked in - OH just getting in side the door and this lovely couple asks me if I'd like something sweet to go with my order. YES please that cheesecake and fresh fruit combo was crazy crazy fun and good. Oh back to the ribs - smoked to fall off the bone tender and full of flavor, crispy hot fries, cole slaw and a cookie. I was going to share... but I changed my mind after one bite. Run and I mean run fast and get some of Wayne's BBQ you won't regret it!

    I decided to get dinner here after driving by the building numerous times with smoke rolling out of the smoker out front. If I'm honest what actually caught my eye was on the sign they said they had catfish, and I LOVE me some good catfish. Anyhow, spot is small, 4 tables inside, 2 outside, walk up take-out/drive-through window, a nice little hole in the wall to grab a bite at in the little strip mall with the tobacco hut. I ordered the catfish sandwich, and a "Hot Boy" sandwich. If you're like myself and unknowing as to what a hot boy is, its a pulled pork sandwich with spicy sausage in it, and damn is it delicious. Catfish sandwich was also excellent. Fish was fried to perfection, flakey, crispy, and not at all oily. Will definitely go back.

    This is a classic little BBQ joint with the kind of wood-smoked meat that takes lots of work, time, and love to cook. That means they might run out on a busy day (any place that never runs out, I'd never trust). The meat is moist, smoky, and a little salty. It's smoked without any sauce (I prefer a little caramelized sauce on my ribs, which is why I only give it 4 stars). They offer a good variety of sauces--different brands and styles. Seating is 4 tables inside, plus 2 outside.

    Delicious BBQ and friendly service. Don't expect much in terms of dining in; there's maybe four tables. There's a drive thru though.

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. It tasted like they deepfried it quickly to add an extra crunchy outside and the flavor was on fire! Definitely a must if you visit Omaha

    I'll round up the rating to four stars, partially because the people here were superbly nice. Very…read morewelcoming and friendly. After a fun day at the zoo, we decided to finally try Smoking Jay's. On this day, we took advantage of a special that was enough to feed two. Three pork ribs, brisket, two sides, toast, and cornbread. First, like every barbecue place, I like to try the sauce first. Good BBQ doesn't need sauce but a good BBQ restaurant should have it. Strange thinking, I know. They have two sauces here. Spicy and regular. Both seemed overwhelmingly full of, I think, molasses. I didn't care for either but favored the spicy (which is hardly spicy). Strangely, the sauce tasted better when paired with the meat. Imagine that! You get two choices for brisket, fatty or lean. We chose lean and it was not great but better than okay. Well seasoned too. Notice the nice smoke ring in my picture! The ribs? They were 100% perfectly, delicious, and NOT fall off the bone (which should never be for legit BBQ - a good rib has a tug). Bravo for great ribs!! The side dish of BBQ beans was pretty good, better than most, but there was something in there that was not to my liking (best guess, bay leaf... yuck). The coleslaw was alright. There was also a nice small side of spicy pickles and onions too. Overall, we will come back when convenient and get those ribs again! Okra is another side dish that we will try next time. Super friendly people here!
