"The best brisket in Nebraska can be found at Smokin Barrel BBQ, a former food truck run by a Texan that now has a permanent spot in a strip mall. It has an incredible bark and is the perfect smokiness. The ribs, potato and beans (with brisket mixed in) are also excellent. Although the location is bare bones, the service is second to none."
