Smokey, Delicious and a Winner!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I purchased a 18 pound brisket at Western Beef. I followed the recipe tripling all the seasoning. I purchased the Prague... Powder on-line. I let the brisket soak for 5 days in a plastic vegetable draw of my refrigerator covered with plastic wrap. I wish that I could share a slice of the delicious smokey beef with all of you. I used Hickory wood because I could not find maple. You MUST try this recipe if you are a Deli meat lover or a barbecue aficionado! Guy thank you so much for finding this recipe for us.

Absolutely blown away by this sandwich
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I was a bit skeptical as this place had been open for about a year and I didn't visit because I thought it was just another... bar/grill. After appearing on TV I visited and have been back many times. The food is not the same old stuff you get from the typical bar/grill. This Brisket sandwich is absolutely great, as well are the specialty fries. The service is great and the prices are very reasonable. Just took my dad here yesterday for Father's Day and he was absolutely blown away as well. Overall one of the top spots in Omaha.Read more
