Trails End Barbecue & Grill

Very nice place. Went there for breakfast and had an amazing omelet.

I should start this review by saying I don't like barbecue, but I did have a burger and it was fantastic. Fries could have been better.

Delicious food with good prices and portions.

If I could give six stars, I would.

An unexpected turn of events led me to this barbecue spot that, somehow, had completely escaped my radar. A business partner suggested it—he’d had dinner there the night before. I trusted his judgment, especially since he’s from Austin, Texas. And you know what they say about Austin… well, they say a lot of things, but one thing’s for sure—they know their barbecue.

As I walked in, I realized it was waaay past lunchtime, which meant this meal was either going to be good—or way good. The place was quiet, just a few tables occupied, two waitresses on the floor, and the smell of smoked meat in the air. The décor had a casual, comfortable flow to it—nothing fancy, just the right vibe. We were handed a paper menu, a little worn and stained with barbecue fingerprints. I liked that. It was simple, no fluff—straight to the point. Just the way I like it.

I placed my order: sliced brisket, fries, corn… and a Coke.

While we waited, our group took care of some pressing work issues—important things like who’s going to dig the hole and who’s going to cover it. You know, high-level stuff. I slipped away to check the restroom. Clean, well-kept, thoughtfully designed—another good sign.

Back at the table, the conversation heated up. Apparently, no one was in the mood to dig a hole today. Heheh.

Then the food arrived.

My brisket looked just like the doctor ordered. I’ll say this—the slices were a bit thicker than what I’m used to, and slightly on the dry side, but still packed with flavor and had that smoky kick I crave. Yeehaw.

Now, here’s a more honest observation. For most of our visit, it was just us and one other solo diner. Meanwhile, two employees sat nearby folding silverware and chatting—loudly—about their grievances at work. I get it. I’m human too, and I know work dynamics can be rough. But there’s a time and a place, and this wasn’t it.

That said, the two waitresses working the floor were phenomenal—attentive, kind, and on point. The dining area was also impressively clean.

I’ll definitely be coming back, this time alone, and during lunch hours. I’ve already picked the day.

Until then…

Best BBQ in the Tulsa area. Hands down. Period. End of story.

If you like BBQ, this is the place to come.

No flavor and really small portions for the price.

Ordered moist (fatty) brisket super dry no flavor, ribs the same and tough. Ribs where no bigger than middle finger

Ordered something called the "Whole Hog burger", good, but it was just a patty. Place is small. Service was good. Complimentary cobbler!

Great BBQ Spot! I got the 4 meat combo as it was only $18.99 and it was more meat that I could handle in one sitting! The portions and sides are very large and the meals come with free cobbler. The night we went they also had a gentlemen playing guitar and singing. Highly recommended!

Know it won awards but the service was slow and the 'not hot' beans were too spicy. Too pricey for what we got.
