You cannot go wrong with a hearty BBQ sandwich! Especially as warmer weather approaches and the thought of a nice Spring picnic is reintroduced into the thoughts of Americans living in cities that have endured the harshness of winter for far too long.
While there are a handful of restaurants scattered across Nebraska that serve this delicious meal, only one is known for crafting the best BBQ around. This state staple is often praised for using high quality ingredients to carefully craft the most mouthwatering BBQ in Nebraska. And don't even get us started on their sides!
According to a list compiled by Food & Wine, the best place to order a BBQ sandwich in Nebraska is Grandpa's Ribs in Lincoln.
Here's what Food & Wine had to say about the best place to enjoy BBQ in the entire state:
"Back in the early 1980s, when a much younger Terry Rupert first opened Grandpa's, the modest rib joint — which he ran as a side project — was one of a handful of Black-owned businesses in Lincoln. It was the beginning of an impressive, decades-long adventure for the serial entrepreneur, who named his establishment after an acquaintance in the neighborhood. By now a grandfather himself and close to retirement age, Rupert has gone back to his roots, firing up the smoker at his gas station on O Street. If you can catch him in action (cryptic messages on the Grandpa's Ribs Facebook page provide the clues), you're in for a treat."
