Food and service are both great and everyone that works there is super friendly. It's the best place to go around here for a quick lunch that's not fast food. read more

Nice afternoon stop. Food was solid good. Burnt ends, sampler plate 2 meat. Tried most of what they offer meat wise. Also a cornbread muffin. Had the Cole slaw and beans. They make the slaw in house and I loved it. Has a light vinegar based dressing not the heavier sugary mayo one. I LOVED it. The meats were moist and flavorful. I preferred the Carolina mustard sauce. 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. Interior is cute and bathrooms were clean. read more

The service was great, it's a seat yourself kind of place that's very casual a laid back. You go up to the counter to order and they bring you the food. Multiple seating choices and enough space for a larger family with littles (there are several high chairs). I had ordered a turkey sandwich with fries and a drink. The turkey was a bit dry but overall it was edible. Food came out very hot so it was fresh! The sauces were YUMMY. They have sweet, hot, and f'n hot BBQ. They also have Carolina Mustard and other sauces I believe upon request. Apparently the wings were good because that's what my husband ordered. The fried jalapeños were bland just because the batter was not seasoned well but overall I enjoyed our time. read more

We love coming here for the barbecue and the laid-back atmosphere. The turkey and pulled pork, particularly the Carolina, are delicious. The brisket tends to be too dry for our liking and lacks flavor but the good selection of sauces at the table helps. The BBQ beans are amazing and the potato salad is pretty tasty too. read more

Awesome food. Good sandwich. Bbq sweet sauce is good. The fried okra is yummy. Potato salad ok. read more

We'll Smoke U BBQ - Aus man sandwich and baked beans - Barbeque Near Me - Gretna, Nebraska

We've been eating here for a few years and we've never once been disappointed. It's always hot and delicious. Never had a soggy bun or a cold fry! It's quick and I love to eat inside and look at all of the unique decor and search for a good laugh. It just gives me a small family type feel. Delicious food at a good price. And the service has always been great as well. read more

I had the burnt ends which, per Yelp, are supposed to be their best item. Very unremarkable. No great flavor and fatty. A small portion. The hot sauce was also a big nothing. The cole slaw was vinegar-based, but tasteless. Not many non-fast food restaurants in Gretna (at this time) and without much competition I suppose it will survive. But not worth the drive from Omaha. Because BBQ is relatively expensive, I have high standards and this place didn't meet them. read more

We were fairly disappointed with our meal there. The sliced brisket was sliced extremely thin, more like from a deli than a barbecue place. It was very dense and absolutely tasteless. Their excellent hot barbecue sauce helped but the brisket still wasn't worth eating. The burnt ends were very good and tasty. The sausage was ok, nothing special just an extremely mild summer sausage. The potato salad was made with lots and lots of mayonnaise not mustard. Probably our fault for not asking but we are always used to potato salad being mustard not mayo. I really wish the brisket had been like the burnt ends. read more

We were hungry for some good barbecue Saturday so just did a search on the Internet and found this place. We are so happy we did from the moment we walked in. We knew this was a good place to enjoy barbecue. We love the way the building is decorated and the staff did a great job bringing us some fantastic Q the place smells amazing too. The price is right. The food is good. The place is clean. read more

Update from a year ago. Food - I stopped on my way back from Iowa as I was hungry and BBQ sounded excellent. I had a pulled pork sandwich and fries for $11. Pork was delicious and fries were good. Great mix of sauces at the table to have it your way and pickles came with the sandwich. An awesome meal and great price. Way better food than what's at the Mall! Beer prices are excellent as well ($3 domestic and $3.50 for craft brews). Service - ordered at the desk and they brought the food out promptly. Good service and nice people. Ambiance - restaurant is full of signs and license plates. It's fun to look at while eating. The bathrooms are still a bit spartan with graffiti on the walls, but I guess it's part of the style of the restaurant. Overall, a great stop for a hungry traveler and good BBQ. Hard to go wrong. read more

I've come to this place a number of times and I have never been disappointed. The meat is savory and tender, the staff friendly, and the atmosphere is laid back. Do I recommend this place? Yes. read more

I liked this place! I ordered the Carolina sandwich which was pulled pork with coleslaw on top. I put the sweet BBQ sauce on it. It was delicious! We were just passing thru but if I should venture here again, I would come back here for sure! read more

I'm new to the area and tried this place based on the reviews. I should have read further down. The ribs were unseasoned. I know they don't do it like we do in Texas, but even a little salt would've helped. I ordered a half rack and couldn't eat more than 2 ribs. Oh and yes the lady at the register is still rude. I read more

I have ordered take-out twice since the pandemic. First of all, none of the employees wear masks. The take-out is very quick, only 5 minutes wait time. I ordered the ribs and loaded fries. My husband tried to order the pork tenderloin, but they were out, so he ordered the turkey sandwich. Everything that we ordered needed seasoning; the ribs, the lodes fries, the cole slaw, the beans. I sprinkled seasoned salt on it when I got home and it was much better. I would rate this place as an average BBQ place, nothing spectacular or worth driving 20 minutes for. I have heard race reviews about this restaurant, but my two experiences didn't live up to the hype. read more

If you are looking for great, or even good barbecue, don't stop here. Nice atmosphere, decent prices and quick service. Poor attempt at barbecue and certainly not worth the price. SMH at the people who gave his place five star reviews. There is some really good barbecue in the Omaha area but this isn't it. Just look at my reviews. The brisket was dry and rubbery. Pork was bland and stringy. Ribs were a 6 out of 10. I think some of the problem was some of the food had been sitting around a long time. Potato salad was plain but we added some of their Carolina mustard to make it palatable. Baked beans were lukewarm and tasted like they just came out of a can with no unique flavor. The "hot" sauce wasn't really hot and the "sweet" sauce was just okay. Overall, we saw no reason to return. read more

Try every where else. Then come here. Then you will know you found your bbq home. Burnt ends are the best. I finally changed it up and had one of the sandwiches with a sausage link. Now I'm torn what I will get next time. read more

This place is delicious! Placed a takeout order and was told it would only be 5 mins. The portion sizes are huge. We ordered way too much. Will be back for sure! read more

Staff very friendly, seating area and bathroom clean, food reasonably priced and delicious. They have pork rinds with rib rub seasoning. My boyfriend and I both got a 2 meat combo, brisket, pulled pork and $2 extra for burnt ends. In order of best tasting, burnt ends, pulled pork, then brisket. My boyfriend got potato salad as a side and said it was light and very good. I got the coleslaw, also good. I tried the spicy sauce and the Carolina mustard, delicious! We will be back! read more

We'll Smoke U BBQ - Brisket, burnt ends, pulled pork, coleslaw. - Barbeque Near Me - Gretna, Nebraska

Excellent grub overall but an average atmosphere. When I go to a BBQ place I'm not usually expecting it to wow me but I do expect it to be clean. The tables were a bit grimy, like they had been wiped with a dirty washcloth. I didn't like the looks of the pop machine, so I opted for no ice (unwashed ice makers are famous breeding grounds for mold...thanks Robert from Restaurant Impossible). The chairs weren't comfortable, and overall I just didn't want to be there. If I go back, I'll definitely do take out. Now for the good news. The food. I ordered a "mini meal," which came with an entree, a side, and a beverage. They also have a la carte items and a bigger meal called the "maxi meal," which I believe has an entree and two sides. I was disappointed that there wasn't any mac and cheese on the menu. It's my favorite BBQ accoutrement. I opted for the fries, which were reminiscent of Runza but not as crispy. Of course I went with the burnt ends for the entree, and I have to say, I wasn't disappointed. Succulent, tender chunks with a deep smoke flavor and that distinctive purple/pink smoke ring. Devine. Service wasn't anything to write home about, but no major problems either. read more

Omg! The BEST BBQ I've had here in NE. A little pricey but WELL WORTH IT! We've been here many times and the service, price and food never fail. Absolutely delicious. read more

Good bbq fair prices good quantity. If I live in Nebraska I would eat here regularly.

The ribs and burnt ends are to die for! Seriously one of the best BBQ restaurants I've been to and I eat authentic Kansas City BBQ pretty regularly. The baked beans have the perfect amount of spice and the fries are always hot and crispy. The prices are more than fair and the staff is always happy to help. Love this place! read more

Great BBQ place, locally run and tasty meats. The sandwiches are generous and cooked just right. The side sauces for sweet or spicy were a nice touch. We chose We'll Smoke U because of the reviews, and glad we did. We'll be back! read more

Heard of this little hole in the wall awhile ago and finally got to try it with my wife. We absolutely loved it. It's nice to find a nice homey place with good BBQ outside of KC. Can't wait to go back read more

This was a plan "b" stop for dinner with friends. Food was ok. Prices were moderate to high for what you get. It's self serve ordering so don't quite get the expected tip. Also if you have to charge 4% for credit cards you lose me and everyone I know as a customer. You should get a new provider if they are charging you 4%, and why do an add on? Just raise your prices to cover it. read more

Great local BBQ. I love their burnt ends. It's a must try. .....................................................--------------

Great BBQ! Simple, family run and friendly atmosphere. Baked beans were yummy and the Burnt Ends and Ribs were the best.

I honestly think this place has the best BBQ in Omaha (and surrounding areas). We always get the brisket and pulled pork and I am always overly satisfied with the quality and taste of their food. They are my number one recommended BBQ joint, worth the drive. Only slightly negative thing I have is the fries are under seasoned. I always get the food to go so I jazz them up at home anyway. read more

Smells are incredible. Patio is great for outside dining. Serving sizes are plentiful. Potato salad is tasty. Once you get the sandwich, the bbq sauces are on the side, so it is spice up your own meat. I loved the concept. Tasty and spiced to perfection. read more

Great BBQ! There fries on the other hand...are undercooked and don't have a good flavor. Ok? I guess they have alright customer service but not very good, it doesn't take them to long but still you have to wait a while to receive your food. It is always at least 3/4 clean but still never a solid ten out of ten! I would recommend eating here but with take out and don't order the fries. read more

Walked in to grab my dinner pick up order and watched the owner grabbing all my meats with his bare hands. I made a comment to his wife the cashier and said shouldn't he be wearing gloves. Her response: "Technically we dont have to wear gloves." No bullshit thats what she said. Technically I dont have to spend money at your restaurant again. Bye. read more

Better than glass packs and a wing on a honda civic. One jim dandy of a meal and took home some cheese from the mini. Keep on keepin on.

If you are looking for mouth watering BBQ, this is the place! Meat falls off the bone and the homemade sauce are delicious. This is our go-to place for BBQ. Delicious! read more

We went there at 6:30 which was close to closing time. The service was good but the food was just ok. The sausage was bland and the brisket was cold and lots of tough chewy piece s like they had been sitting all day. It was our first and last time eating there. read more

Food was ok. Customer service was awful. Lady at the counter was quite unfriendly as well as person who delivered food. Restaurant business is a tough one but treat your paying customers like you want their business. read more

I think 2 stars is generous. I've been harsh on other BBQ places that, in retrospect, were a lot better. Texan sandwich (sliced brisket and sausage): brisket bland, kinda dry. Tender but tasted like a pot roast. No flavor, no smoke flavor. Sausage had strong anise taste. Needed salt, pepper, and lots of sauce to give ANY flavor. Pork sandwich (pulled pork): VERY bland. No smoke flavor, at all. Needed lots of salt, pepper, sauce, still not good. Sauces: Carolina mustard: tasted like honey mustard. Hot: meh Sweet: meh (side note: $1.25 for a little bitty corn muffin? Even $1 would be pushing it) $18.xx for both sandwiches, incl 1 side and one fountain drink. Quantity of food great; quality terrible. Terrible! I'm honestly not sure how this place has 4 stars, much less remains in business. Even Famous Dave's, which kinda sucks, is better. #NeverAgain read more

Great BBQ ,best in the area ! Only thing better is the people who own the place and work there open to close !

Love their food and love supporting a local business. We have friends that drive over 45 minutes to eat here and even friends from Pennsylvania tjat visit and insist on eating here every time they visit. Good food. Good prices. Good casual astmosphere read more

I stopped in here for the first time yesterday and had a very good brisket sandwich. The meat was smoked well and had a great flavor, but the sauces were what stood out to me. I had both the hot and Carolina mustard sauces, they were fantastic and not the same old sauce I've had everywhere else. I can't wait to come back and try some more items from their menu. read more

The ribs were okay...big and moist, but flavor and sauce were just OK. It tasted like something you can make at home. There aren't many good options for sides. The sides I chose did not taste fresh- fries seemed like they were from a frozen bag and potato salad was not good. Want chips? You'll just get a bag of Lays chips. Overall, it wasn't anything I couldn't make at home. read more
