33 Best Barbeque Restaurants in Tulsa

“I ordered take out last night. I just moved back to Tulsa after being in VB for 12 years. This is the best BBQ I’ve ever had! And I ❤️ the fact that it’s family owned. Can’t beat supporting local family restaurants AND getting the best BBQ ever! This place is a MUST try if you haven’t already eaten here.“

“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!“

“Wanted to try someplace different and it did not disappoint! Service was fast and very polite. No wait for seating. Dinner was best bbq hands down and home fries were great. Generous portions and not overpriced.
We WILL be back!!“

“Turnip greens, potatoe salad, chicken, chopped beef, and BBQ sauce!! All on point!!!!Everything makes me miss home!!! SO GOOD!! 😋🤤😋“

“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. ❤️“

“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!“

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

“Great food left quite full“

“The food was really good, but the pizza was kind of a disappointment. We only tried it because of raving reviews, but it was underwhelming. We had beef burnt ends, ribs, smoked chicken quarters and the sweet creamed corn and bbq beans for the sides. It was really good, but not the best I ever had. The sides were my favorite thing! The sampler appetizer was really good as well! The deviled eggs were too sweet for me though. The restaurant was extremely clean and smelled really good! The service was kind of slow even though the restaurant wasn’t that busy, but they were all really friendly.“

“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“

“Wonderful Venezuelan food! The cachapas and the carne frita is so good — perfectly prepared! I also tasted the carne en vara. Amazing! I am so glad to have this culinary gem in Tulsa.“

“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“

“Just ordered food from the location in Franklin Wisconsin. The food was exceptional as usual. the chili is on a whole level on its own. OMG. I could just eat that. Keep up the great work.“

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

“Fast and efficient always available.“

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

“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.“

“The bbq smell alone when you walk in the door will tell you that you have arrived in a great barbecue place! They have a great menu and being in business for over 30 years is a testament! And… they have buttermilk pie! Should I say anything more. 🤩🤩🤩“

“Just ordered food from the location in Franklin Wisconsin. The food was exceptional as usual. the chili is on a whole level on its own. OMG. I could just eat that. Keep up the great work.“

“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!“

“Omg. Amazing ribs. Several different offerings of bbq sauce, all were very good. Service was outstanding. My waitress was on top of it. Checked on me several times. Definately won't be disappointed. Extensive drinks and menu offerings. You'll will take home a bag of leftovers most certainly. Big plates. Thank you“

“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!!!“

“Great food, slow service! My husband and I visited this location twice in two days. The food was absolutely amazing and made very well. However, the service was extremely slow no matter the time of day. I don’t think the waitresses we had were having a great day. Our first waitress was very not very attentive and we had to ask for our check twice. Although the service is slow I’d still return for the good food when we’re in Oklahoma.“

“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!!!“
