Everything about BBQ Brothers is high quality! This is a new favorite, locally owned, eatery for me. The menu is all the classic BBQ. Great smoke rings and flavor on the meat, and the sides are delicious. I really appreciate the "dry rub with sauce...Read More

The potato salad is very unique. The jalapeño cornbread was very good. The beans had bits of beef and bacon in them and they were a unique consistency, clearly homemade. The brisket was very tender and savory and the sauce was certainly...Read More

We've been hearing good things about BBQ Brothers and waiting for the new location to open in Manawa. It is small (seating inside for maybe 16-18 in the former Doozie's location), but clean and well lit. Come summer time, there is a patio. …

One of those meals that makes you wish you could just move in. Brisket, pulled pork, and ribs—perfect. Potato salad so good it deserves a thank-you note. Award-winning for good reason, and you can tell they’re building something big here. And the peach cobbler? Miss...Read More

Was looking for good bbq and was not disappointed, tried brisket, ribs and turkey. All were delicious and moist. Mac and cheese and baked beans were too good. Young man running the register was running the show well and the place was very clean.

Just passing thru and was close enough for BBQ. Pleasantly surprised. Had just brisket sandwich. Nice thick slabs of juicy smokey Brisket on a perfectly matched bun. Sauce could be thicker but was worth turning off to try. Thank you...Read More
