What is

Golden Hour Barbecue?

Nebraska is known for its breathtaking sunsets and sunrises, and Alliance's Golden Hour is absolutely stunning. Being that cooking great barbecue is lengthy, it allows us to embrace those golden moments twice a day.

We're here to make the smoked meat experience accessible to hardworking locals and travelers alike. We're committed to authenticity, quality, and enjoying a good meal with the people we care about most.

What Makes Texas Barbecue Different?
What makes Texas barbecue exceptional is the process of slow-smoking meats over a long period of time. Often, a whole day. Our offset smokers use only Post Oak splits from central Texas for fuel & we put love & attention into every slice of meat that leaves the cutting block.
It's a craft that demands patience and respect, as each head of cattle provides just two briskets, making the process remarkably delicate. We have no choice but to take our craft seriously to make the best meal possible.
Nothing is more fun than standing in line with your crew, sipping a drink, and soaking in the mouthmelting smell of handcrafted sausages, carefully cooked brisket, ribs, and other wood-fired goodies. All while eagerly waiting your turn at the cutting block.

Golden Hour Barbecue is the food and hospitality dream of Flor and Fletcher Sheridan, a dynamic husband and wife duo. Their journey began in college, and they spent nearly a decade exploring the world of food while pursuing their careers.
Pitmaster
Originally from Georgetown, Texas, Fletcher's love of cooking began at an early age as his dad would include him in prep such as peeling garlic, deveining shrimp or making salads. It wasn’t long before he was cooking full meals for his family. Fletcher's journey led him from central Texas to Nebraska, where he played tennis at the University of Nebraska at Kearney. While in college he worked at local Luke and Jake's BBQ. Which ignited nostalgia from home, and the idea of one day owning a Texas Barbecue. After graduating with a degree in GIS, Fletcher worked in various parts of the country, including Nashville, New Hampshire, and Austin. Eventually, his love for Nebraska (and Flor) brought him back. After spending a year in Kearney working for the BBQ once again, cooking for a local chef couple, and teaching tennis; Flor graduated and they left for Texas. Fletcher honed his barbecue skills in Houston as Pitmaster at renowned establishments such as Truth Barbecue, Roegels Barbecue Co, and Dozier's BBQ. His passion extends beyond barbecue, as showcased on his personal Instagram, where non-barbecue culinary delights and tasty cocktails have frequented the feed. Fletcher's heart is deeply invested in the Newberry building and western Nebraska's landscape, and he's eager to share his love of delicious food with you.
Pit-Hand
A high school graduate of Alliance, Flor met Fletcher during her freshman year at the University of Nebraska at Kearney. Flor taught math in Houston until landing her final job as a 3-5 math interventionist at a charter school. Beyond teaching, Flor pursued a master's degree, managed her first business ghostwriting for luxury brands worldwide, and planned her wedding with Fletcher all at once. She thrives working on creative and analytical projects, fitting the textbook definition of an ENTJ. She loves espresso, spreadsheets, and planning events, making this the perfect role for her. Aside from helping manage fires and sampling Fletcher's cooking, Flor can be found planning dream weddings for brides in the Midwest and setting up parties as the Event Coordinator for Newberry's.
