Craft BBQ with a Midwest Flair

"We stopped here at BBQ 136 while going through this small town on our way to see family. OMG some of the very best pulled pork we've ever had!!!! The fries were perfect, the bun fit the pulled pork was toasted and the pulled pork was tender and delicious as was their homemade bbq sauce!! We will definitely stop again! Oh and the price was the same as McDonald's or a little less for sandwich, side and drink"!

BBQ136 is a popular spot for delicious food and great service. The restaurant serves its food quickly, and the staff is friendly and accommodating. The menu features a variety of options, including the burnt ends meal, which is a customer favorite. The food is outstanding, with some of the best BBQ dishes around. The ribs are particularly noteworthy, with one reviewer saying they were even better than those at a well-known BBQ joint in Texas. The prices are reasonable, with sandwiches, sides, and drinks available at a similar price point to fast food establishments. Overall, BBQ136 is a must-stop for anyone looking for a tasty meal.

We always love this place. Our food was amazing tonight as usual. The owners and staff are so welcoming and friendly. You can’t go wrong with anything you pick on the menu. It’s always a tough decision for me.
It’s also a beautiful establishment with such character. Always a favorite of mine.
