Texas flavor thrives in Alliance, Nebraska | Building Nebraska

A taste of Texas has found its home in the heart of Alliance, Nebraska.  

Husband and wife duo, Fletcher and Flor Sheridan, took a leap of faith and opened Golden Hour Barbecue in March of 2024. Since then, they have quickly become a community favorite and downtown staple.  

After learning the ropes from seasoned barbecue establishments, Fletcher and Flor have honed in on their offerings. Their food has been a hit- and not just for the locals. Texas Monthly included them in their “Top Ten Texas Style BBQ Joints Outside the Lonestar State” list.  

“Our standard is great barbecue,” said Fletcher.  

For the Sheridans, owning their own business has been a dream come true. Setting up shop in Flor’s hometown of Alliance has proven to be a wise, and economical, decision.  

“We just saw the potential here,” said Fletcher. “We just love this downtown and see so much more for it.”
