S.A.M. Que

I had such a great experience at S.A.M. Que and Catering in Kearney, NE! I ordered the BBQ Pork nachos, and they were absolutely delicious--loaded with toppings, fresh, and full of flavor. Definitely some of the best I've had in a long time.The lady who took my order was super friendly and had a great sense of humor. She made the experience even better with her welcoming and fun personality.I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in Kearney. If you're looking for amazing food and great service, you've got to check this place out!

I was driving thru Nebraska and had a taste for barbecue and thought I would give the place a try. I tried calling to make sure they were open and got a voice recording that they are open until 8pm Tuesday thru Saturday. Attempted to stop by at 2:45pm on Saturday 31 Aug. Unfortunately the door was locked and there weren't any notes on the door as to why. Definitely disappointed. I would recommend to people passing thru to keep going to either Lincoln or Cheyenne.

Brisket is so hard to get right but SAMs was on point!!The sausage was incredible as well.They didn't have my perfect match for sauce but that's an easy solution for me.

Traveling through Kearney on a Saturday evening, and BBQ sounded good. The service was excellent, and the food came out quickly. Drinks were fairly priced, but water cups are $1.00. The French fries, Texas toast, and beans (sides) were hot and flavorful. The Mac n cheese (kids meal) was warm and saucy. Our daughter had the chicken strips and they were fine, a premade frozen kind that had been cooked at our order. We tried two sampler plates with brisket, ribs, turkey, and sausage. The sausage was perfectly cooked, crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The brisket, ribs, and turkey all had great flavor but did not have the juicy succulent taste that we expect with bbq. It was a little bit dry. We all got full, but for the price of bbq, we were hoping to be wowed.

Stopped here on our way through Nebraska. This is a gem of a place in all regards! Excellent, delicious BBQ, wonderfully friendly service, super clean!! Highly recommend!

Our very first time here for testing! I'm doing burnet ends and beans. B having a burger. My portion of burnt ends was small and just browned a little. Certainly not the burnt black, crusty ones which are quite wonderful. Baked beans real good and also real small portion. Burger was really good example we agreed. And fries were real good also. Everything, everywhere is high and climbs a bit every day. I thought $32 was a lot for what we had.

Stopped in Kearney for the night and was looking for a local business to support. Came across this amazing place on Yelp and couldn't resist. If you are anywhere in the area of this restaurant, stop and get food. Even if you're not hungry, you will be eventually and you will thank yourself. My son had the hangover burger and fries and couldn't stop raving about it. I had the pulled pork with the medium BBQ sauce, hash brown casserole, and baked beans. We also got an order of the Dictater Tots. I cannot say enough good things about this food. This is my first experience stopping at a BBQ restaurant and I will not forget it. I would drive 9 hours to eat here again (we are passing through en route to RMNP). The staff is friendly, great layout for seating, and it's immaculate. Highly recommend!

Best bbq sandwich in the state. Employees are very nice and place is really clean. Fries are amazing.

I am a bit of a snob when it comes to Q. They know how to smoke meats here !!!! I had the brisket and burnt ends, both delicious and full of smoke/flavor. My wife had the pulled pork and it was good. I was surprised by how good the sides were. Baked beans off the charts good! They top my wife's and that is a tall order. Fries were crispy and good seasoning. We both used the Carolina mustard but sparingly as the meats stood on their own.

Service was very friendly and the restaurant was impeccably clean even with a large number of diners. And the food was great.
