34 Best Barbeque Restaurants in Tulsa

“the BBQ IS AMAZING!!! We enjoyed our food, and the service was GREAT!! we absolutely loved our dining experience and will absolutely be back!!“

“Get it!“

“I’m not a fan of anything barbecue but Oakhart bbq has definitely changed that for me. By far the best tender meat I’ve ever had!! Their beans and Mac n cheese are to die for! Highly recommend this place to everyone and anyone that claims they don’t like bbq.“

“The food was great! We had the lick potato, the barbecue brisket sandwich, and the chicken sandwich! Highly recommend!“

“We went for the second time yesterday. Took some friends visiting from Texas and had an amazing time. it was such a great time I forgot to take pictures. Quinta served us and she was absolutely amazing. She visited with us quite a lot and my daughter and Quinta just clicked and it made my daughter Amethyst "happier than she had been in a long time". The food was incredible as always. My wife fell in love with the fried okra. She said it is now her go to place for getting okra now. The shrimp was also another addition to her favorites. Her only regret was she didn't have any leftovers lol. I love getting the smothered meals. You can get them in potatoes, Mac and cheese, fries, or nachos. Though I can only eat half of a full order, I look forward to the leftovers because they are just as good as fresh and it's like eating there twice. The quality is always top notch on service and the food. If you haven't tried them yet I recommend that you do because you are missing out for sure.“

“We eat at Billy Ray’s on SW Boulevard and love their catfish and brown beans. We have eaten there at least 2-3 times a month and never had a bad experience. Also, their staff is excellent. ❤️“

“I absolutely love Oklahoma style barbecue!“

“The owner is super friendly. Me and my wife came in and were the only ones there. Got ribs, chicken, and baked beans with brisket. Everything was absolutely delicious. All the BBQ sauce was made in house. I wish more people would come in and enjoy this food. The portions were good for a late lunch and price is comparable to BBQ chain restaurants that don’t have that great of flavor. Ribs were thick and tender and not dry at all. 10/10, coming back again!“

“Great food left quite full“

“First time, came in from Michigan .. Food was excellent staff friendly. Highly recommended. Be back again next time we come to Tulsa“

The food we ordered was the Varas Plate and an arepa with meat and cheese and it was soo good with lots of FLAVOR! Definitely will be back and make this my to go food place! 10/10 recommend 😋👌🏼“

“Me and my sister ate there last night, 12/26/25 for our first time and everything was amazing. The place was super clean, the good was amazing, fast and fresh and our waitress Karol was amazing. I got the Mac Daddy burger and it wad messy (in a good way) with fries and it lasted like 7 minutes. The fried pickles were amazing as well. Well definitely be back when we can and we highly recommended it. Do yourself a favor. 🍽😁“

“The char-grilled bacon cheese burger is a juicy masterpiece, with the perfect balance of smoky flavors, crispy bacon, and melted cheese. The gyro is an authentic delight, boasting tender meat, fresh ingredients, and a burst of Mediterranean flavors, and the BBQ ribs are my favorite“

“The food was good. For someone who has never been before, it wasn't immediately clear that orders had to be placed at the register. We arrived later in the evening with a group, but there was no greeter or other employee - we found our group on our own. The only time I personally saw am employee was when our food was delivered.“

“I love the Big Momma ! Not greasy. my fav“

“Great food. Great staff. Great new location. I had lunch at Billy Sims BBQ in Joplin , MO and enjoyed wonderful brisket and was very impressed with the staff. Jennifer, Dontavious, and Brandon provided great service and a very clean environment. I will be back often.“

“Le recomiendo por su buena atención , las ricas cachapas ,volveré 🙋‍♀️❤️“

“Great supply of BBQ rubs, spices and sauces! All your BBQ needs! Knowledgeable staff as well!“

“Fast and efficient always available.“

“I love eating here and am thankful to have all the great options in the Williams Center. The people who work at this Rib Crib are friendly and quick and always get my order right. The food is excellent, one of the better options in downtown Tulsa. It isn't too expensive for the quality, especially compared to all the other options downtown. I wanted to write this today because the only other reviews this location has are written by cheapskates unfairly comparing this food-hall-style location to other full-size, standalone Rib Cribs.“

“We love this place! We have been coming here off and on for over 15 plus years. We live in Florida but stop by when we are in town!“

“Really great sliced brisket. Great value for the money too!“

“Excelente calidad de carné 🥩“

“Excellent food and quick to get served. Destiny was our server, upbeat and fun personality. She was the only server working and was still very prompt and friendly. She definitely added to an enjoyable experience.“

“We love to visit our Tulsa Hills Albert G’s pretty often, and we always have great service. Tonight when we were walking out my 3 year old spilled her iced tea all over the foyer by the hostess stand. Honestly, I was a little embarrassed that she spilled it right in the middle of where everyone was walking. There was a guy working named Carlos that came rushing over, and immediately asked what she had to drink. I figured he was probably annoyed and trying to find the best way to clean it up, but he was actually running back to the kitchen to get her a fresh one right away. He was so nice and got down to her level to offer it to her and make sure she was happy. The girls at the hostess stand were SO nice about it and cracking jokes too. And listen, I’m sure staff are supposed to remain professional, even if they’re annoyed, but when I tell you the staff literally acted like she was a royal princess and they were happy to clean up after her, I mean it. Def made my night that they didn’t get frustrated and embarrass us more. Thanks Carlos & everyone else!“

“Pulled off on the wrong exit, ended up here, the food is awesome and they make some mean, MEAN burgers and ribs, get you some sweet tea, order a burger and enjoy! Wish I came later though for some draft beer ! But the music and vibes of the restaurant are amazing and awesome service!“

“Al is absolutely wonderful. We stopped in on our way south for vacation. Al the bartender, cook, entertainment and owner was very friendly and made us feel very welcomed. The regular patrons were very friendly as well. The outside is a little intimidating but very glad we stopped in.“

“I Came in 20 minutes before closing, so I ordered from the bar to go. Being that late, I expected staff to be a little frustrated, but if they were, they hid it well. Lol. When I get into my car, I noticed they tossed in a free pie and ice cream, so thats a win!! Food was quality as well.“

“Great service and very helpful.“

“Great food great service!! highly recommend!!!“

“I ordered the Wild West Shrimp appetizer, it was absolutely phenomenal! Perfect combination of crunchy shrimp and spice from the jalapeños. I actually almost got too full on that for my steak, because I couldn't stop eating them lol. Next, I got Flos Filet w/ a lobster tail. I gave the food 4 stars instead of 5 because my filet was overcooked (I prefer med rare) BUT...the filet was soooo tender and juicy, even overcooked, that it was awesome 👌Also, the service was very quick and extremely attentive. Awesome experience as a whole.“

“Definitely my kind of place my number one get away just down to earth people and not a bunch of kids not a big crowd no trouble Al's going to keep them in place and I have no problem just keep the drama at home love it me and the other half of course thanks Friendly Bar“

“Went to tulsa hills in sat nite!! Very very busy but of course Valentine’s weekend!! We sat at the bar while waiting!! I am diabetic and could feel my blood sugar dropping! It was very concerning! I asked this little guy named Brandon to get me some rolls . He brought me 4 and butter! He was so nice and helpful!! He should get a raise! He saved me I was about to pass out!! What a good guy!!!“
