Biemer's BBQ

I stop by Biemer's as often as I can during basketball season. The brisket and turkey sandwiches have never failed me. Seasoned crinkle cut fries and fried pickles on my regular rotation. Staff always friendly. Family owned. Def give them a try

I did a drive through and got a dinner for my family. My favorite item on the menu is the fried green beans, oh my, just yummy!! We got 1 lb smoked turkey, fried green beans, baked potato with pulled, pork brisket sandwich and onion rings. Everything was delicious, perfectly cooked and the baked potato was large. The drive through people were pleasant and gave us the condiments we asked for and our food was hot to go!!! I highly recommend and will definitely be back, one of my favorite places!!

Yum yum ribs and melt in your mouth burnt ends! The family deal is a great option with enough leftovers for a late night snack or hearty breakfast! We did a drive through option and it was very fast and efficient. The beans were a bit too salty and thick, but the coleslaw was a-m-a-z-i-n-g! Great BBQ! They "rub their meat" there the right way!

Beat bbq in LFK. Service is always great. My daughter's favorite fried pickles & beans. We like crinkle fries too.

First time visiting there today. The staff and the food was amazing. But I couldn't get over the lobby smell. I used to be a custodian for many years and it smelled like they use the same mop to clean the bathrooms and then it went straight to the lobby without dumping their bucket or changing their mop. Like a bathroom in the lobby. Smell is not what you're going for. Great place to eat, but obviously lazy custodian or no custodian. Change your mop water that's nasty.

I was in Lawrence visiting a friend and she recommended we come here for some amazing BBQ and boy, was she right! My friends and I each ordered a BBQ plate which comes with a choice of 2 meats and 2 sides. I went with ribs and burnt ends. *insert drooling emoji* For my sides, I chose the potato salad and fried pickles. The meat on the rib fell easily off the bone and there was plenty of meat. The burnt ends were so juicy and flavorful and the meat was not burnt to a crisp like other places who do burnt ends. My favorite was finding pieces that have some fat but weren't too fatty. The fried pickles were fried perfectly and that breading was *chefs kiss* delicious. I liked that the pickles were spears and despite getting our order to go, the breading was not soggy at all. The potato salad was so so and wouldn't order it again BUT I had a bite of a friends side of coleslaw and I was pleasantly surprised at the flavor! It isn't a mayo based coleslaw and would definitely recommend you go with that. They have also have a handful of different sauces you can get with your BBQ. I liked the hot BBQ sauce because it had spice but wasn't overpowering. You have to check them out if you're in the area.

Awesome burned ends and smoked turkey, nice people as well. The potato salad was not good though or I'd go 5 stars. I'll be back, but won't have the potato salad again.

The sign on their front entrance reads "11:00 a.m. to 8:00 pm (or until the food is gone)."I had some friends from out-of-town visiting Lawrence who love BBQ. I suggested Biemers. We arrived around 7:20 pm. There were several customers in front of us waiting to order so I suggested to my friends that they have a seat in the dining area and I would wait on line to order our food. Dinner was on me. There were customers seated at 5 or 6 of the dinning tables enjoying their dinner.Although there were at least 8 employees on duty, most of them were engaged in non-customer service duties, i.e. clean-up, and even though there were several registers available only one was open, and only one employee was taking orders at the counter so it took around 10 to 15 minutes get to the front of the order line. When it was my turn the first thing i was asked was if "to-go" was okay. I wasn't sure what they were getting at so i asked for clarification. The girl taking orders said that starting at 7:30 pm everything was to go only, and we couldn't enjoy our food in the dining area. I explained my situation. That didn't phase the gal. I pointed out that the sign showed they were open til 8 and that we had walked in the door a good 40 minutes before closing. She shrugged her shoulders as if 4she could care less. "That's our policy." She couldn't even find the decency and common courtesy to say "I am sorry." I asked her where it was posted "dining area closes at 7:30." "It don't," she stated matter of factly.​ It's just our policy."I explained that we would not have wasted fifteen plus minutes of our time had we known of their unwritten "policy.""Is the manager or owner available.""He ain't here. But even if he were, you'd be wasting your time. He does everything his way." "Well, I do things my own way as well, so no, take out is not okay. We will go elsewhere, and we won't ever be coming back".She didnt seem to çare. She seemed more focused on clocking out by her deadline so she wouldn't lose her job.I forgot to tell them that I will tell my friends, and also leave a few appropriate reviews on-line.This place started as a hole in the wall at a gas station and after it opened at this location several years ago it took off. For four or five straight years it won Lawrence Magazine's "best BBQ in Lawrence" award. But their string of consecutive wins ended five years ago. I think I know why. The customer service sucks. How hard would it have been to post a few signs stating that starting at 7:30 it's take out only. This is the same owner who used to allow his employees to prominently display a tip jar at the counter. That practice ended when I complained to the owner that if he couldn't afford to play his help a decent wage then he shouldn't be in business. (Imagine going to McDonald's and seeing a tip jar at the register)Apparently the owner is more concerned with saving a little on payroll rather than being a good and decent human being and providing minimally acceptable customer service. I used to come here quite a bit and would always see familiar faces. Now it seems like employee turnover is much higher. New faces every time and not many of them smiling. And two of the dudes in the cooking area looked like they were on furlough from prison. The kind of people people who you wonder whether they wash their hands after going to the bathroom. UGH. GROSS.Thus isnt the first time owner greed and arrogance will cause a once decent restaurant to fail. And it won't be the last.

Great place if you want good bbq with just a short wait. Husband and I split a 2 meat plate and added 2 ribs (because of so many great recommendations of the ribs). We had plenty of good! Brisket and pulled pork were good but ribs were fall off the bone tender. Fried green beans were good for something different and the macaroni salad was excellent. There's a variety of sauces from hot, vinegar to sweet and sweet with a tang. Prices were a bit higher than the website listed, but still very reasonable and a lot of food for the price. Friendly service, too. Highly recommend!

The food and service is excellent. Pulled pork was delicious but they need to pull the pork apart it was all one big piece. Ribs are delicious too.
