Meaty ribs, sliced brisket, turkey, hot links, pulled pork, smoked bologna, boneless chicken thighs (Thursdays) and pork loin (Fridays.) Also pizza and baked potatoes, sides include baked beans with brisket chunks, salad with house special dressing and coleslaw. Championship BBQ sauces both Hot and Mild (both have won.) Usually have to take some home because John makes sure you get your money's worth.

Top 3 pulled pork sandwiches of my life. Will return to try the ribs. When you walk in they have older awards including some best BBQ sauce awards so I was curious about the sauce

Ordered the pulled pork sandwich with a side of beans. Pulled pork comes on a buttered toasted bun with plenty of pulled pork on it. Sauce was more on the sweet and tangy side, I ordered mild so no heat, and was thick so it's not too messy. Definitely award winning favor

Beans were also on the sweet side with chucks of beef included. Will order them again.

People are super friendly and seem to be popular in the area. If you can swing by it's worth the detour

For you guys not to be open during the week is a good chance you were gonna go out of business if you keep that up drivers come to your place of business during the week and you are freaking closed

All I can really leave a review on are the burnt end sandwiches we got to go. We've eaten here before, but it was some time ago, and I don't quite remember what we ate, but I promise it was delicious! But these burnt end sandwiches!!!!!!! Omg hands down the best! They gave us mild sauce which was tangy and sweet, and an entire side of purple onion that my mom and I promptly dusted with our food! Y'all really need to try this place! Exit 221, turn South, and it's directly between Love's and the Okemah Casino! You will not be disappointed! I wish I could post more pictures but we were in a hurry and didn't get to sit down.

John’s BBQ has been around for as long as I can remember. We eaten there for years and we’ve never stopped to post a review.
So here’s my honest review. I absolutely love their loaded baked potato with brisket. It’s not sliced brisket chopped up. No, it’s chunks of tender, juicy brisket piled up on a huge potato, drizzled with sour cream, and sprinkled with green onions and shredded cheese. This is my go to but we also love the ribs, burnt ends, and the pizza. Honestly, I guess we’ve tried it all.
In all the years we’ve eaten there they have proved to be consistently on point. Always delicious.

Amazing BBQ! With a lot of history.
The coleslaw was also amazing. Oh and the Pizza!! They don’t skimp on ingredients. I think it weighs like 4 pounds! I ordered a loaded potato. It was delicious. And huge. The biggest potato I’ve ever seen.
They have a drive thru pick up window which makes it so convenient when you are in a hurry.
Service is always so friendly.

An all around great BBQ restaurant. The burnt ends were the star of the show, followed by fall off the bone ribs and closing with the pork tenderloin. The staff is about as friendly as it gets. If you are traveling down I-40, it't worth the stop.
