“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.“

“Really good BBQ! Great food at a great price!“

“The food was phenomenal. I had the pulled chicken and smoked mac n cheese. Both were delicious. But the best was definitely the smoked peach cobbler. Trust me you need to try it! Friendly customer service as well.“

“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. ❤️“

“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 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“

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

“A madness of delicacies and prices well adapted to the quality of the food, the service ? and the food is at another level, frankly they have a special hand for the kitchen, congratulations… it won't take much for them to become famous“

“I loved the Burnt Ends and Mac and Cheese plate from the bar menu. It was a very big space, not very cozy but kind of loud. You’re not sure what to do when you walk in, be seated, wait to be seated? Turns out there is an area in the back to walk up and place your order and there was nobody to direct us. So felt lost at first. The gentleman that took our order was very helpful and knowledgeable about the different meats and how they are cooked. He let us sample the burnt ends and told us how they smoke them. They are amazing! So much flavor!!! We wanted a beer and to my disappointment, no Bud or Bud Light!?!? I ordered a PBR Lite, never had one, it was a draw, which I love, but I found out that I do might like PBR LOL! It was not very cold so that helped not liking it. The price was outrageous! 2 beers, 1 dinner and 1 bar menu, smaller portion dinner…a whopping, $55, not including Tip! It was good, the portions were good, but still not worth 60 bucks. All in all, I loved the food, not the price so much🤷🏼‍♀️“

“I absolutely love Oklahoma style barbecue!“

“First timer at Billy Simms today and it did not disappoint. My daughter loved the pulled pork and baked beans! I really enjoyed the chicken tenders. This is a hidden gem and will be back. Thanks #20!“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“Co-worker brought lunch back to the office that made it smell like a steakhouse and offered me a bite of the loaded mash potato with pulled pork.. I was ruined, I HAD to leave immediately and get my own. For $9, I got a heaping helping of mashed potatoes with cheese, ranch, pulled pork and BBQ sauce. Called it in ahead of time and picked it up when I arrived. Super friendly folks. Will definitely return again!“

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

“Excelente calidad de carné 🥩“

“The food was delicious. However, we ordered 6 lb of barbecue to go and even though we asked repeatedly about sauce we were given no sauce. I would advise you to check your bags before you leave. Even if they tell you there is sauce in the bag.“

“Great Takeout Experience!

I placed a to-go order through the RibCrib app for a Santa Fe Spud from the 81st & Yale location, and everything went perfectly. The ordering process on the app was smooth and user-friendly. I arrived a little earlier than the estimated pickup time, but my order was already close to being done—no long wait!

The Santa Fe Spud was hot, fresh, and loaded with flavor. The smoked chicken was tender and well-seasoned, and the toppings were generous without being overwhelming. It was the perfect comfort food after a long day.

The staff was friendly and had my order bagged up and ready as soon as it was finished. Super convenient and everything was just as I ordered it. I’ll definitely be using the app again for future takeout—great option when you’re short on time but still want a hearty, satisfying meal. The earned points accumulate quickly and I can use them for rewards on my next order!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Great service and very helpful.“

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

“We had an awesome experience at Longhorn Restaurant on E. 71st Tulsa on July 5 2025.

I want to give a glowing review for CARL, the manager at Longhorn Steakhouse.

Background story: My son was diagnosed with severe life threatening food allergies to peanut, egg, and tree nuts when he was 18 mos old. He went into anaphylactic shock necessitating a trip to the ER, when I fed him Chinese food at a restaurant. Ever since then, we always brought his food when we go out to eat cause of potential cross contamination.

He is now 13 y/o and today was his first time eating restaurant food. Carl, was so kind, accommodating, attentive and genuinely cared when answering all our questions (UNLIKE John, the general manager at Texas de Brazil in Tulsa -refer to my other review.)

Carl told us that they cook food on a separate pan with separate cooking utensils on a separate grill for their guests with food allergies and that they also have food allergy menu. Let me tell you...seeing my son happy, loving, and enjoying eating the sirloin steak and bake potato, really melted my heart. Praise God that he blessed us with people like Carl and our waitress, Destiny, who both really made this day special for my son. Customer service was phenomenal and food was delicious! Our steaks (husband and I) were juicy and tender. The icing on the cake was when Carl, out of the kindness of his heart, gave my son a company rubber bracelet, company pen, and $10 GC to commemorate the day. We will forever be patrons of this restaurant.“

“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!
