Luke & Jake's Bar-B-Q and Catering

This is a great little find in the area close to the college. Food is great and prices are reasonable. It is a must stop any time I'm in town. I love their stuffed baked potatoes with pork. Yummy! Make sure to ask for the tinfoil off of it...makes it easier when cutting the potato to not have that in the way. They have a wide variety of bbq options so you are sure to get your bbq fix here. They have both indoor and outdoor seating and can accommodate a fairly large group. They also have a drive thru for those wanting to get it to go. Only thing I'd like to see is a little bit sturdier plastic ware....it's a little flimsy.

Beth and myself in today for lunch. I had a half rack of ribs, beans, a German choc frozen custard. Beth a salad. Everything ok. Have been here prior but sure been a while.

I have eaten here twice. The food is pretty good and the sandwiches are pretty smooth. What do I mean by that? They aren 't overly chewy. They become smooth and soft by making them right and smoking them for a certain number of hours. The atmosphere is quaint and the service is pretty good as well. I do have one complaint. I ordered a root beer by the bottle and it was all foam. Don 't they ever drink it themselves to see if it is good?? As I sat it on the table, foam kept coming out and out. I complained and they didn 't do a thing except hand me some napkins. Is business that good? But, better than that, why not change root beer? There a plenty of great root beers available...Virgil 's for one. But other than that bad experience, it was a pretty good place to eat.

Kansas City native and I can tell you, this is the best barbecue meat you'll find in central Nebraska. These guys are from Kansas City and know what they're doing. Tastes like home.

I love trying new places and I always hear good things about Luke and Jake's so we decided to stop in. I got a polish dog and while it was still a little cold in the middle it was delicious. The BBQ sauce was AMAZING and my friend loved his sandwich. I can't wait to go back and try the Giant Stuffed Potatoes!
