Porky Butts BBQ

Food is delicious, excellent service. Fans on high and air conditioner running. So cold. Fans were actually blowing our napkins off the table. I asked a wait staff member if they could turn the fans down. They actually turned them off for about 20 minutes. So appreciated that. We could enjoy our meal hot. And I wasn't shivering. We love Porky Butts!!!

$15 for all this food. Two meat plate with choice of two sides. Burnt ends and chicken quarter were the meat selection with smoked beans and brisket chili. Both the burnt ends and the chicken had great smoked flavor and a deep smoke ring. The brisket chili was tremendous. The smoked beans were good as well. The standout and biggest surprise was the cornbread. The butter was very spreadable. I then drizzled it with honey. The first bite; the heavens opened and the angels began to sing, it was more like a moist cake than dry cornbread. Absolutely the best cornbread ever. I'd place this BBQ up against any in the Kansas City area.

Just moved to Omaha two weeks ago and this was by far the best meal I’ve had yet! The cook on the sausage and burnt ends were great! Definitely recommend getting the jalapeño cheddar sausage. Also thought the ribs were perfectly cooked! Definitely like having a bite on the ribs and them not being completely fall off the bone. I felt like the prices were reasonable. 10/10 will be back.

Our office orders takeout every month on “Cowboy Burrito” day. It is our favorite and we look forward to having it every single month!! Of course, you can order it anytime I think but we just make a day of it. Brisket, man and cheese, and fried jalapeños with bbq sauce, yum!!

Grabbed lunch with my son and we both loved it! I had the pulled pork platter and he did kids Mac n cheese. While the food was great, the service was even better! Very friendly, helpful and fast! A new favorite for when we visit Omaha!

When I am in the mood for bbq, this restaurant is exactly what I have in mind. The ribs, brisket, pulled pork, potatoes, corn and corn bread were amazing! Cannot believe I waited this long to try Porky Butts BBQ! The seating (they have booths that fit 6 people comfortably) and the vibes in the restaurant were amazing also! You order at a counter and pick where you sit. The prices are super affordable too! 10/10 recommend!!!

We went there today june 5 again. And as always. Never disappointed. We had the Family Platter with ribs catfish and turkey. Oh my god the ribs are to due for. All the food on the platter was so delicious. We have been there probably 4 times and NEVER disappointed. IF YOU HAVEN'T TRIED IT, YOU DONT KNOW WHAT YOUR MISSING. Yesterday was our first time to eat there. VERY SATISFIED. We had the 3 meat plate, turkey, catfish and pulled pork. The fish was great, the turkey was super great and pulled pork was tender and good smoke flavor. The sides we had the loaded grits, VERY good flavor. The beans are to die for. And then we ordered a side of fries. You get alot of fries for $3.00. We drove like 85 miles to get there and it was WELL WORTH THE DRIVE. We will be going back every chance we get. GOOD JOB PORKY BUTTS EMPLOYEES. KEEP MAKING GOOD FOOD.

I went there first time today because I had a gift card. Glad I did:) Called to order a take out, it was ready in 20 min. Paid at the restaurant. Food was delicious! I loved how well it cooked, lots of sides, cole slaw, mashed potatoes, fries, grits, beans. Their fries and fried pickles are amazing! Burnt ends, pulled pork, ribs, sausage, catfish - everything is cooked to perfection! Order, pay, food is ready within minutes. Loved everything we ever tried here. Thank you!

Deeeelicious!! We had the family platter that feeds 5 and the BBQ Boudin Balls. The BBQ Boudin Balls were every bit the yumminess of the crab balls, but with juicy bbq! The entire bbq platter was delicious. The turkey was juicy, the ribs and brisket were delicious and the burnt ends and pulled pork were moist. We also enjoyed all the sides- corn bread, potato salad (not sweet), Mac and cheese and loaded grits! The loaded grits were my favorite. Besides the bbq of course. Their French fries are crispy and flavorful. Service was like all the bbq places. One line that leads up to the counter and you order. This is a great place with a growing legacy of grilling to championship levels. I have had a lot of bbq, was this my favorite I've ever had, no, but it is up there. Love a lot about this restaurant and can't take anything away but a full stomach. We are all happy!

Do I recommend Porky Butts BBQ? Yes! Yes I do! This past week took us from the Des Moines IA metro to Lincoln NE...and then back and forth between Lincoln and Omaha several times. Any time you travel food always comes into the conversation. J's Smokehouse in Omaha and Canyon Joe's Barbecue along with Hog Wild Pit Bar-B-Q in Lincoln were at the top of my BBQ list, but my traveling companions kept shooting holes in them for one reason or another. Out of frustration I Googled "best barbeque in Omaha NE" and Porky Butts BBQ came up at the top of my search results. We hit the Porky Butts BBQ's Yelp and Facebook pages and couldn't find anything that didn't sound good. They checked all the boxes except one... One of our party doesn't really like cornbread and we didn't see a Texas toast option, but that's a box that can be left unchecked... We ended up getting two family platters. A family platter is listed on the menu as: Family Platter (Feeds 2-3) $32 Half Rack, 1/3 lb of 2 Meats, 2 Large Sides & 3 Piece Cornbread On one we got ribs, catfish, and turkey breast with fried okra and french fries. Add an addtional side of mac n cheese. On the other ribs, smoked sausage, and brisket with green beans and potato salad. Let's start with the environment. Porky Butts BBQ is in a small strip with lots of parking. It's order and pay at the counter. Their online menu and menu board are easy to navigate even with an many choices as they offer. You order and pay at the front counter. Foutain drinks are self serve. Napkins are at the table. Utensils and to go boxes (for your leftovers) are up by the fountain drinks. They bring you the food and bus your table for you when you are done. Seating is a combination of low top tables and chairs, high top tables and chairs, and booths. It's seat yourself after placing your order. The food... Magical! Everything I had was hot and fresh and was cooked to perfection. I didn't try the potato salad... It looked a little bougie to me. I love an old school German potato salad. Peeled potatoes, heavy on the mustard, mayo, a little onion, and that's about it. Once I saw the skins and how white it was... Nah. I'm good. That's just me though. Service was great! From the gentleman who took our order, the server who dropped off the food, the manager who checked on us part of the way through our visit, to table service who cleaned up empty trays when needed... Couldn't have asked for a better visit! Kudos to the staff at Porky Butts BBQ!

Amazing place for bbq. When you enter you order at the front then grab a table. There's an area where you can get soda or tea, wet wipes, utensils, and take out boxes. At each table, there's 3 bbq sauces. Fun to try and mix for the flavor you like. My favorite were the ribs and burnt ends. The ribs are fall off the bone tender. The burnt ends were delicious. My favorite by far was the cornbread which was more like a corn cake. It was moist and phenomenal with honey and butter. The apple slaw and the pickles help cut the richness of the meats so you can keep on eating.

Came with family on Father's Day. It was PACKED with line out the door. We were tempted to leave but stuck it out. Getting to order at the counter didn't take long, and we got seated easily. Food came out fairly quickly. It was all so flavorful. We got the family meal with brisket, pulled pork, and burnt ends. The cornbread was probably a favorite of the table. Nice to have a bit of Texas flavor in Omaha

First time visiting the Porky Butt restaurant. I appreciate that the owners support the community through various charitable events. The fries were excellent. Loved my jalapeño sausage, prices are going up on beef so there is an $1.50 up charge but only two slices of brisket (maybe my only disappointment). Everything was really good and would recommend them to anyone looking for a good BBQ restaurant. Overall excellent for the price. You won't go hungry. The chili was on point. You also have 3 choices of bbq sauce. I'll be back. Thank you

We were able to try their catered pulled pork, burnt ends and baked beans at a house party. Everything had so much flavor & there was a lot of meat on the burnt ends with not too much fat. I loved it all-easy to have as a favorite BBQ anytime! YUM!

Porky Butts is an Omaha gem. Can't say enough about this place. Whenever I come to visit from California, this is on the top of my list of places to visit. Due to scheduling and because we have been here before when we were turned away during operating hours because they were sold out of meat. Can you believe that? Dine in and take out orders wiped them out for the rest of the evening. So this time, I arrived before they opened. Oh snap!!! My go to is Texas Poutine. Handmade chips topped with queso, beef brisket, pulled pork, crumbled bacon, green onions and drizzled with BBQ sauce. You can replace the chips with fries for $1+. Ok, Porky Butts, until next time. See ya. Ok, bye.

Visited Pork Butts BBQ after googling "best bbq in Omaha". It was delicious! Enjoyed a rib plate w/green beans and Mac n cheese. Ribs were tender and flavorful. Green beans cooked perfectly with some bite and not mushy. Cornbread was like cake. Mac n cheese was very saucy and pretty good. We also ordered the Brisket sandwich, family platter w/Brisket and sausage- all fantastic! As a Californian, I will probably not be visiting Omaha again, but for anyone else headed to this city, I highly recommend you make time for this place. Go early and grub! Also, pro tip- mix the Mild and Fiery bbq sauces together. Chef's kiss! They had me at their name... Porky Butts.

This is our go-to BBQ place. Our standard order is brisket, pulled pork, grits, and corn. Consistently delicious.

Me and my family come here very often. Best BBQ I've found in Omaha, and they only have the singular storefront. Service has always been kind and food has always been tasty and largely portioned.

$38 for a platter that stuffed my fiancé and I with leftovers for a midnight snack. We got fries, mac and cheese, a few corn breads, brisket, and burnt ends (a dollar or two extra for these meats but worth it). You would think we we hadn't eaten in days how quickly we scarfed everything down. They do have fountain soda or a small selection of alcoholic beverage if you prefer. Service was quick and the restaurant wasn't too busy yet as we arrived just after open. lots of inside seating but none outdoors. Could be great to cater a event as well. Have already been a few times, will be back again!

Our post-Valentine's adventure finally brought us to Porky Butts BBQ--a spot we'd been meaning to try forever. The stars aligned, and we pulled into a packed parking lot. Fortunately, most people were waiting on to-go orders, so we didn't have to fight for a table. Since we're no amateurs (and I never walk into a restaurant without scoping out the menu first), I knew exactly what I wanted. The staff was hustling, with a sea of paper tickets hanging up, but we were greeted with a smile and asked what they could make fresh for us--major points for that! We ordered BBQ Boudin Balls, a Rib Plate with Brisket Chili and Potato Salad, and a Two-Meat Plate with Mac & Cheese and Apple Slaw. Oh, and two sodas--Coke Zero on tap (bless!). Total bill: $56--pretty reasonable considering the time and effort that goes into smoked meat. The sauce lineup--Mild, Sassy, and Fiery--was put to the test immediately. I wish they provided chips to sample them instead of me resorting to using my finger, but hey, whatever works. Mild and Sassy were nearly identical, and while Fiery had some heat, spice lovers might find it a little tame. Our BBQ Boudin Balls arrived quickly but without plates--just a tiny tray. BBQ is messy, and these little guys weren't the most structurally sound. That said, they had a smoky, burnt flavor that I actually enjoyed. Still, I'd probably go for a different appetizer next time. Now, onto the main event. Our plates arrived with all the fixings--pickles, pickled onions, and a giant piece of cornbread (complete with butter and honey). MVP of my plate? The catfish. Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and absolutely perfect with the little tartar sauce/Tabasco concoction I whipped up. The pork was solid, but the catfish stole the show, so I didn't give it much attention. As for the sides: Mac & cheese - Cheesy but a little bland, even after a hit of salt and pepper. Apple slaw - Soggy and flavorless; wouldn't get it again. Cornbread - Sweet, cake-like, but served cold. Warming it up would have taken it to the next level. Brisket chili - I stole a bite from my husband's plate, and wow--definitely ordering that next time! All in all, it was a fantastic way to celebrate with my Valentine. Porky Butts BBQ lived up to the hype--some hits, some misses, but I'd happily go back to explore more of the menu!

GET THE CORN BREAD. Now to the meat and potatoes of this place (badum tss) this place has really really yummy food and service was quick and easy. Love the plethora of booths that they have.

Disappointed in the brisket. It was very dry and overcooked. The Mac and cheese and corn were good. Maybe they had an off night in catering but someone should be checking the food before it goes out. I am not sure I would return for bbq.

Jimminy Christmas, this was so good. Been visiting Omaha a couple of times and been wanting to try bbq. I'm so glad I found this place. I had the three meat platter (burnt ends, brisket, and smoked sausage) with street corn and brisket chili as my side. My son had two meat platter (pulled pork and brisket) with smoked beans and grits. My wife had the rib platter with apple coleslaw and grits. We order the bbq boudin balls too. Everything was fantastic. We shared with each other. I felt the portions were very good. The service was super friendly and patient. I would definitely recommend this to anyone wanting some great bbq.

This was recommended by a local to us and it was probably the best Omaha joint we tried! Portions are big, so beware! Burnt ends were delish -- super juicy and soft. Highly recommend! I tried the 1 meat plate as it seemed to have the most variety of options you can try for a single serving. Easy for dining as well. You walk up to the counter to place your order, sit down at any table, and they bring your order to you. Good for bigger groups too. Lots of free parking in the parking lot. Staff was awesome! Must try when you're in Omaha!

Serves some wonderful food Ribs are super good, nice and tender and falls off the bone

This is the barbecue that we have been searching for. We got the platter with brisket, ribs, burnt ends, smoked beans, and Mac and cheese. Everything was absolutely perfect and couldn't possibly have been any better. We lived in Texas many years ago and have always missed the fantastic Texas barbecue until now! This barbecue leaves nothing to be desired, it is unbelievably good first class in every way. Friendly people, extremely clean restaurant, fantastic barbecue and sides, when you open the door to walk in you smell the wonderful aroma of real barbecue and know that you are in the right place.

Don't live in Omaha, but have been several times. This place is on my radar every time. BBQ is delicious as are the sides. Very popular which means the line ebbs and flows. Lots of awards and memorabilia around the restaurant. Give it a go!

This place was delicious! The environment was clean and spacious with plenty of sitting room. You order at the counter which was very easy and smooth without a long wait. The menu had a variety of items that were reasonably priced and covered all the essential and best barbecue items. We ordered a platter to share and it was delicious. We loved all of the sides we ordered and the meat was cooked excellently and well flavored. The cornbread was the perfect finisher and had a great texture with just enough sweetness . I loved all the options for sauces on the table as well. Overall we got plenty of food for the price and all left very satisfied. Would highly recommend for good BBQ

Excellent pulled pork and brisket worth the drive out of downtown for it. Delicious seasoned fries.

A good BBQ joint can be hard to find in Nebraska, but this spot is an absolute gem. We've only ordered carryout so far--twice--but both times the experience was fantastic. I'm pretty sure it was the same guy who helped us both times, and he was genuinely pleasant to speak to, which made the whole process even better. We ordered one of the platters that comes with two meats--our picks were pulled pork and burnt ends--along with a half rack of ribs. Everything was flavorful, tender, and clearly made with care. The burnt ends had just the right amount of smoky caramelization, and the pulled pork was juicy and packed with flavor. The ribs were perfectly cooked, with the meat falling off the bone. They also provided both sweet and spicy BBQ sauces, and both were absolutely delicious. The sweet sauce was rich and tangy, while the spicy one had a bold kick that didn't overpower the flavors of the meat. Both sauces were robust and paired perfectly with the smoky meats. The portions are generous, and the sides we've tried (mac and cheese and coleslaw) were just as good as the meats, rounding out the meal beautifully. For a part of the country where BBQ isn't exactly the star of the culinary scene, this place delivers authentic, mouthwatering BBQ that's worth coming back for again and again!

Not a big BBQ fan but the menu as well as the product is good. Along with acceptable price points for the amount of food delivered.

Wife and I came here on Saturday afternoon. Got the 2 meat platter with slaw and mac n cheese. Slaw was good, the rest ugh. Extremely disappointed. I started smoking a few years ago and wanted to compare, brisket was tough and really no flavor or bark, pulled pork had a flavor which me or the wife did not like at all. Best BBQ in Omaha, How?? Did I miss something.

A really great meal today over lunch with Dad. This my 3rd visit and all been great here. Today I got the turkey and sausage with Mac and cheese and corn. Everything was great and the corn bread.... Yummmm too. This place is solid!!

Didn't get pics from my last take out order but we tried a bunch of things Ribs - these have grown on me Burnt Ends - my fav Brisket/Pulled Pork - take it or leave it for me. I'll give them another try but likely will switch to just ribs/burnt ends Sides - I've tried the potato salad, beans, chili and fries - all are solid depending on my mood

When family comes into town we go to porky butts BBQ for some great BBQ. Brisket and pulled pork are my favorites.

I couldn't tell you what about this place doesn't scream BBQ WINNERS. If you need to know how good their food is, just look around, they have trophies lining the walls. I had heard amazing things about this place and I regret not going sooner. I'd have to say my favorite item by far were the boudin balls. If I could, I'd order a vat of them. I also loved their sauces and would go back just for those. The staff at this establishment was also so helpful in sharing their favorites and making sure everything was looking good! Will DEFINITELY be coming back!!

I came here for the first time the other day and it was so delicious. You order from the counter then sit and they bring the food to you. I got the 2 meat plate with pulled pork, burnt ends, mac and cheese, and smoked beans. You get to choose your meats, 2 sides, and it comes with cornbread. You could get a 1 or 3 meat plate as well. It ended up being $16 with tax for a ton of food. The mac and cheese was cold but still good. The beans didn't disappoint. I liked how the tables inside have 3 different bbq sauces of different spice levels so you can add whatever you want to your food. Fast ordering and food came fast. I want to come back to try other food!

This BBQ joint in Omaha has won me over as my top pick, not just locally but in my BBQ travels too. While I can't make extensive comparisons having visited Kansas City just once, I can love their fantastic approach to plates and platters. Even as someone who typically dislikes beans, I found theirs surprisingly tasty. Every dish I've tried here has been a winner, making it hard to pick a favorite!

The best barbecue in Omaha! The brisket is so delicious and the standout of all their meats! So moist and juicy. Burnt ends are also really good if you like the edges! Sausage is tasty too! The standout of sides for me is the Baked Beans. They are so flavorful, with a little kick of spice and some real meat chunks inside it. Could eat a whole Large portion of this myself. Mac and cheese is also super good, some of the cheesiest max you'll ever have! Mashed potatoes are decent and has a light gravy on top of it. All their barbecue sauces are tasty and overall I'm always impressed when I get food from here. Love love love this place.

Once I opened the front door, I knew it was legit! That classic smoked smell of a BBQ restaurant, that really is smoking meats in the back. Customer service was top notch, for a modification person, like myself! I was interested in how their pickles tasted and if the cucumber salad tasted like cucumber ( I don't like cucumbers) or more on the side of pickles (my guilty pleasure). Front of House quickly called to the kitchen for "a tasting of pickles and a tasting of cucumber salad". Umkayyyy, it's really littttyyy and I am excited for my "tasting ". Socks blown off! Yup, pickles on POINT and cucumber salad with the fresh dill, vinegar, and what ever else they added, had my palate doing the happy sour face dance!!! Amazing! I ordered a side of the cucumber salad and a PINT of PICKLES for $2! Stop playing with me! If I were closer home, I would have bought a gallon of their pickle chips! The MEATS were perfectly smoked and seasoned! Those burnt ends....you could taste the smoke, season, and the sauce added a small kiss of love. The pit ham was very tender and flavorful. The brisket was delicious, however, I like a little more fat in mine. Nonetheless, delicious sliced brisket! I have bookmarked this spot and made a note in the section saying: "Bomb ass BBQ! Always go here when in town!" Have you ever made a note in the section of your Yelp Collections? Lmaoooooo. Okay, BYE!!!!

First time here. Been wanting to try this place for such a long time. Everything was so good! Service was quick and didn't want long from the time we ordered our food. One thing though, no one can top off corn bread like my grandmothers corn bread lol. But I still ate it and it was good. My most favorite was the jalapeño cheddar sausage. Definitely coming back again.

Great food. never had turkey so tender. amazing value for the price. good sausages and the corn is a must try

outstanding barbecue. attentive service. great atmosphere. very clean as well as modern. amazing menu selections. very accommodating to gluten free dietary needs (they will put the cornbread on a separate plate or omit it completely). will definitely be returning. be sure to get there early because it gets very busy and they may run out of meats!

I have been disappointed the last couple of times I have been here. it has been over several months time. I have noticed a fall off in the taste of the Q. This time it was the ribs. The color was off - not dark enough as if pulled early. Then the ribs were tough and not so flavorfull as usual. Same for the brisket. I know everyone can have an off day but this is the same for my last couple of visits. Has anyone else had similar experiences? The service was excellent as always.

It's Community Appreciation Week at Toast, and I'm feeling extra grateful for the restaurants and retailers in my community who work hard to deliver unforgettable memories. There are so many little details that matter in the hospitality industry, and we appreciate all that you do! This post was made in connection with a Toast promotion.

WOW - I can't believe how long I waited to go here! We dined in at Porky Butts and both ordered the two meat plate. I had the brisket and pulled pork and my boyfriend had the pulled pork and sausage. The pulled pork and brisket were FANTASTIC. Combined with the three sauces available, I was in BBQ heaven. My boyfriend said the sausage was tasty, but didn't love the casing. For sides, we had the roasted corn, mac and cheese, and the grits. This was only my second time trying grits, and they were delicious. I also appreciated the crisp pickles on the side. I would recommend this spot for anyone searching for some BBQ in the Omaha metro!

Love love love this place!! My husband and I just moved in the area and just tried the food here at Porky Butts three weeks ago. We have been back twice since then and it is just so succulent. The service here is fantastic and the staff is so knowledge as well as the place is kept clean at all times. Will be back again hopefully so to have their burnt ends, jalapeño sausage, and delicious cornbread!

Food is great. Wish you had a separate line for pickup. I'm having to wait in a line out the door for food that is already done. Waiting over 10 minutes is frustrating knowing our food is getting cold.

Porky butts is likely one of Omaha's best true bbq joints. They have a great restaurant that is very comfortable for a sit down meal! Service has always been a strong suit and the menu and specials are great in my opinion! I usually opt for the 2 meat combo with turkey and ribs. The turkey is out of this world!!! Ribs are cooked perfectly and have great flavor! Sides are great - don't forget the cornbread- AMAZING!!

Burnt ends, smoked beans and brisket chili were so good. It's an order at the counter and seat yourself kind of place. Highly recommend if you are looking for tasty bbq.

So my son and I wanted BBQ and I'm pleased to state they delivered. Sunday's are a challenging day if you're craving a specific meat choice as they run out quickly. This feast was definitely worth the trip.

My favorite BBQ in Omaha! I love their brisket, smoked sausage, ribs, smoked beans, mac n cheese, Texas poutine (everything I've had here). I love getting a family platter with my boyfriend when we go so we can get everything we want (Half Rack, 1/3 lb of 2 Meats, 2 Large Sides, & 3 Piece Cornbread) for $30. Great deal! The service has always been great too although they are normally always super busy. Love Porky Butts!

This is a good BBQ joint hiding out in the north side of town. We went seeking BBQ goodness and were not disappointed. While crowded, the seated guests moved fast enough that we got seats for our meal. Ordering from a queue was simple, and our food was delivered to our table. The food was tasty, the sauces appropriate, and there were a variety of beverages. Parking was easy in the lot out front, Recommended.

Best bbq in the Omaha area hands down! The Family platter is my go to for variety and is such a good deal for 2-3 people to share. This is an order at the counter and seat yourself deal, keep in mind it can get pretty packed during dinner time.

Food was excellent! We started off with the fried pickles and boudin balls. Both were delicious. Then we worked on the family food platter for 4-6 ppl. There was plenty of food for the three of us. The ribs and brisket were amazing. Full of flavor, tender, juicy. See photo for the rest of the meats it came with!

Best BBQ in Omaha! We've never had a bad meal here and the prices are reasonable for the portion sizes. Get the 3 Meat Plate if you're going with a few people and enjoy it family style.

Turkey turkey sandwich with Mac n Cheese Coming from a girl that doesn't love BBQ, Porky Butts was absolutely delicious! The turkey San which was so juicy and I loved the tang from the coleslaw with apples! It was a super Smokey flavor which I appreciate. The mac and cheese is also delicious! The food came out so fast I thought they were giving us the wrong order lol highly recommend!!
