Southwest Pit BBQ

Just really good food and the service was great. The price of food for the amount they serve is consistent with what other BBQ places in Lincoln provide.

This is one where Yelp failed me. I was excited since it showed 4.5 stars but came away underwhelmed. Wasn't a fan of the pork w all the sauce. It kinda felt tasted store bought meat warmed up. The baked beans tasted like canned beans w sliced sausage thrown in. The wings were good w the sweet Thai chili sauce. Maybe I caught them on a bad day? Not sure. But I won't be going back.

Owner seems very friendly. He gave some good suggestions for my indecisive husband. I settled on brisket nachos. My husband got the Spicy Mac n cheese. Food was decent. Hit the spot. Servings big enough to bring home for the next day. Dining area had 3 tables, so not too much privacy. But , we were the only ones eating there.

Parking is on-street, and metered (12 minutes for 25 cents). $26.19 purchased 6 wings with Thai chili sauce, 1/2 rack of ribs, and sides of corn bread and baked beans with links. "Fall off the bone" appears to be the goal here. The well smoked wings, which were not subsequently deep or air fried, barely stuck to the bone, and it proved impossible to pick up the ribs, which came wet, without the bone falling out. Both meats needed sauce to create a flavor profile. The wings were tender without being mushy, but the rib meat unfortunately crossed this particular line. The cornbread and baked beans were both good bites.So, we would order the wings here, and there are quite a few other sauces to sample. But we would pass on the ribs.

The food is honestly terrible and I was embarrassed bringing my Dad there. The food seems microwaved and it seemed like leftovers. The sides were generic and like something you would buy in bulk. It is small and atmosphere is uninviting. The service was ok but a bit awkward.

Great food! If you are close and hungry for good ribs or burnt ends look this place up.

Rolled through Lincoln on an early Saturday afternoon and wanted to try some BBQ. Southwest Pit is pretty small with only 3 tables and they aren't licensed to serve tap water, so bottled drinks only. My wife and I ordered large. She did a small rib with mashed potatoes and gravy, I ordered the pulled pork sandwich with beans and slaw, and we split 6 bbq wings and then shared everything.My feelings are very mixed. I am not a believer that any meat should be soaked with sauce, only as a glaze while cooking or for dipping on the side. But this was a damn fine sauce, it is very complex and thick and brought back memories of a dark Mexican mole', not a cheap bbq sauce. I give them a win for creating such a unique flavor concoction that I didn't mind it covering the ribs and wings this time. Another stand out was the beans. There was tons of sliced hot sausages in it and it could have made a fulfilling meal in itself - 5 stars. The mashed potatoes had a wonderful thick hearty gravy that made them a must order also.The misses included my pulled pork sandwich. A very large portion but blended with so much sauce, it made eating as a sandwich impossible and reminded me of the tubs of pre-package bbq meat at the store. Nice owners and a unique product but lighten up on the sauce a little. I would go back and order differently with my new knowledge.

The Owner is so fun to chat with and the food is FanFreakingTastic! brisket ribs and wings were to die for! mouth water flavor with a low slow burning spice! everythin fell off the bone! New Favorite Spot!

The owner was so kind and the food was fantastic. Great prices too! We will be coming back soon!!!! Thank you!

Hole in the wall bbq, smells great inside, looks clean. I tried the big hog sandwich. It wasn't really my thing but I can see how it speaks to the soul of a Nebraskan. A hoagie filled with pulled pork (it was kinda weak pulled pork, too pulled, too much sauce, the pork didn't stand out) jalapeño nacho cheese and bacon. Next time I find myself there I'll be trying the ribs or brisket and give an update.
