5 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Kimberly

“The food was amazing definitely recommend the longhorn, I never thought about onion rings on a brisket sandwich but here it is in all it's goodness. My boyfriend got the pot belly and could barely Finnish it it was truelly amazing 10/10 would recommendWheelchair accessibility: You have to go in through the doors by the coffee shop and go through the back hallway to get to the restaurant if you have a wheelchair.“

“Allow me to preface this review with the fact that I've moved up here from the south, so I know a thing or two about good barbecue, and I can be quite picky when it comes to this subject.With that out of the way, I'd like to praise this chain (and this location in particular) for becoming my new home away from home. Do not let the name fool you; this isn't just a generic pizza place, but a genuine, southern-style barbecue restaurant that happens to also offer pizza. Not only do they serve sweet tea, like every restaurant honestly should, but their tea is also genuinely great! My wife loves the mango-flavored one, whereas I go for the standard version, as I tend to. Seriously, this is one of like five places in northeastern Wisconsin where you can find genuine sweet tea (unless we count the other locations, of course).That being said, of course I have to talk about the food as well. I've read about on their history a bit, and it would appear the people who started this chain (in Kiel, WI, I believe) actually used to work in Kansas City, slinging up smoked meats and the like, and let me tell ya: you can absolutely taste it. The ribs in particular are great here (arguably top 3, but definitely top 5 I've ever had), and we also like to get the brisket as part of our shared platter. Now, I won't lie to you; the brisket isn't quite as consistent. While I'd rate the ribs 9/10, the brisket ranges from 6.5 to 8 out of 10; they have their good days and their bad ones when it comes to that, but it's not bad enough to where I wouldn't recommend it, as it still gets the job done, and I'm frankly somewhat of a brisket fiend. And even when it's not as good as I know it so often can be, it's nothing their sauce won't be able to fix, which I'd also like to point out: is amazing. I'm always a huge fan of Memphis and South Carolina styles, and they're both fantastic. The rest of the sauces are good, too. My wife really likes the pineapple habanero one, which I wish was spicier, but does have a nice sweetness to it.My one criticism would be that I feel that every barbecue restaurant needs to have either collard, mustard, or turnip greens, which I love to have as a side. But I do like their baked beans and mac and cheese well enough.Overall, great place to have within an hour of where we live. Southerners, this is the one! This place is authentic, right down to the wonderful atmosphere it provides. And the price is right, too.Parking: While the free street parking is limited, I have never seen it get busy enough to stop us from parking nearby, even during peak hours. I have a feeling this one of the less visited locations, which is a shame, because my wife and I love it!“

“First time for lunch…instantly loved the holiday drink menu list !! Super fun creative & very festive options for both the ‘Naughty’ & ‘Nice’ list!! Very pleased with the different good mood food options …Happy to see the variety of items offered & not just the traditional meals every restaurant in the fox valley area seems to offer the same thing . Looking forward to coming back real soon!“

“The trailer came to my work for lunch time. Some of the best brisket I have had. Falls apart and nice smoke ring. Need to compliment you on your beautiful Myron Mixon smoker also. If you are into BBQ, you know who Myron Mixon is. As soon as I saw that smoker in your trailer, I knew I was going to get good BBQ“

“Absolutely the best Old Fashions and Friday Fish Frys around hands down! It does get extremely busy on Friday nights, so you do have to plan accordingly but the wait is well worth it! It is not a fancy place, but the food is reasonably priced consistently good, and the staff is great I highly recommend!!“
