BBQ4U
I don’t normally do “product endorsements” around here, but I’m going to make an exception today. I went out to lunch with a couple of guys from work today to check out a little hole-in-the-wall barbecue place called BBQ4U near 14th and Hwy 2. The Tuesday Special is a huge beef brisket sandwich for $4. I worked the POGO card so my buddy and I each ended up with the sandwich, two sides, and a drink for just south of $6 each. The sandwich was about 5 inches in diameter, with beef spilling out the sides. They have a range of BBQ sauces, ranging from Sauce for Sissies (yes, that’s what it’s called) to some stuff called Da Bomb that comes in a grenade-shaped bottle and has to be kept behind the counter for liability reasons. The sandwich was fantastic. My coworkers and I are currently working out a schedule so we can try a different lunch special one week at a time.
Speaking of their specials, Monday’s is a $3 pork sandwich. Wednesdays are smoked wings. The owner brought out a half-dozen of them for us to try and we were speechless. I’m a wing guy, and I’ve never had wings like these before. Thursday’s special is a 3lb. rack of ribs for $14, which can serve 2-3 people.
I’ll admit that the name is a little cheesy, and their website could use some work. Thankfully, these guys focus their attention on the food, and it shows. The owner is a Vietnam vet who has a tremendous amount of pride in his craft. If you’re in Lincoln, I would encourage you to give them a try. (Map and Directions)
