S.A.M. Que and Catering — Restaurant in Kearney

I visited in March of 2024, I thought I had left a review, but for whatever reason it has never posted. I was in Kearney to visit my daughter. In a week, I was pretty disappointed with nearly every where we had eaten. We went there close to closing one evening towards the end of my visit, I had ribs, they were good, not exceptional, but compared to everything else I had in that town for a week, it was a welcome experience. At this point I don't rememeber what she ate ( best I remember, she had some sort of bbq meat loaded potato, just can't remember the specifics) She tipped very well (on top of my generous tip) so obviously it was pretty good.The food was good, again, not the be all end all of BBQ, but good. The service was great, it had a very family run kind of vibe. The atmosphere was what you would expect from a BBQ joint. Overall it was a very nice experience. If you are visiting Kearney, this is one of the better places to eat. Wish I still had pics from our visit. Give them a try if your visiting Kearney. Best stop I found in a week of...

My Wife and I showed up to Sam q about 645 pm and we have never been there as soon as we opened the doors there was a sweet smokey smell 😍 we went to the counter and the guy who helped us was very knowledgeable about the menu witch anymore is hard to find some one who knows the menu like he does kudos 👏 he was very polite and helpful he keeps checking if any o e needed anything and even offered to take our plates when its like a arbys style trash where you dump it 5 stars to him he deserves a raise....we ordered the smoked brisket sandwich Mac and cheese with sweet potato chips.....I give the cooks 5 stars there food that they cooked was awesome.....we could cut the brisket with a plastic knife with no effort they know how to cook give them a applause.....there BBQ sauce comes in a small container but let me tell you one will just about cover the brisket on a big hoagie bun looks are deceiving on the sauce excellent place to eat I'd recommend it to any one Food comes out hot and they are faster then Perkins on...

The BEST barbecue sauces and turkey I've ever had! Their Raspberry Chipotle and Stupidasso (?! I think that was the name of their hottest BBQ sauce) sauce were phenomenonal. The turkey was so tender and juicy, busting with flavour. The size of the sides were small but I wasn't hungry after. I had potato salad and fries; the former was alright, the latter was crisp and well seasoned.

The sauces were so good, I wanted to buy bottles of them which they sold in 16oz bottles. I highly recommend it. Their hottest sauce perfectly blends the heat of various chillies whilst still being able to taste them and the flavour of BBQ.

The fried Oreos made a good dessert too. They're fried in doughnut batter, so are decadent.

The owners (the family) running it were so friendly and accommodating. 100% a...
