Southwest Pit BBQ (Lincoln)
It’s nice to have some good BBQ to fill the gap that Paul’s BBQ left behind. If anyone has inside info on when Paul will be back (not just Saturdays at Ideal Grocery), let me know.
Southwest Pit BBQ is in the old Dropbay Records locale on 16th and P. It’s a pretty no-frills operation, but that’s fine with me.
It appears they’re proudest of their pulled pork, and I had that with beans and a drink. A piece of cornbread was thrown in free by the owner. At $6.99, it’s reasonable even without the free cornbread.
The sandwich was very savory and tasty. The only downside was biting into a rather sizable piece of fat that hadn’t been pulled out, but otherwise was very good. The beans were good and not overly sweet as you’ll find at many places. The cornbread was very moist, but I’ve never really been a fan of cornbread. The dogs confirmed that it was very good.
I wish them success. They seem to be doing it right.


Paul’s is best.
Paul’s finally found a new location.
