If you’re looking for the best barbecue in Tulsa, Elmer’s Barbecue on South Peoria is the spot. Hands down, their beef brisket is the star of the show—always moist, tender, and packed with incredible flavor. Keith, the barbecue master, knows exactly what he’s doing, and it shows in every bite. I’ve tried a lot of BBQ around town, and nothing comes close to this. Do yourself a favor and stop by—you won’t be disappointed!

After many years of not being able to eat at Elmer’s, been able to eat here semi-regularly again.
And gotta say, the food is still fantastic! I’ve been getting the Badwhich here lately (with hot links and on the bun), as it has a lil’ bit of everything, comes with a rib and two sides.
I love getting the corn on the cob and Mac-n-Cheese. But if they’re out of one of the items (since it’s made in house), I also love the coleslaw.
The owner is very personable and wants you to have a great meal, which is why I’m always eager to come back!

Ordered Elmer's BBQ through Doordash for 2 days in a row, but we picked up the 2nd time. It was nice seeing the owner (he use to cater at my old employer), and the food was just as Delicious now as it was back then!😋 Actually, my husband and I Enjoyed our food so much that we ate Elmer's the very next day, lol!

The portions were small. I ordered a 3 meat I think. I got one dry tough rib, 2 thinly small sliced pieces of bologna, and a scoop of tasteless brisket. The baked beans tasted like canned pork and beans with barbeque sauce and the potato salad tasted like mashed potatoes with a little mayo. Both in very small containers. The sauce was ok, but in the smallest containers. The sausage was cut in very small pieces and seemed to be about half of a small sausage. The meat cutter had a new helper and was rudely telling him how to handle the orders. That cost about $19.50. I have been to Albert Gs, Leons, Oklahoma Style, and Daddy B's, in the last 2 to 3 weeks, and this was the worst with the smallest portions.

This place has a very relaxing and calm environment to it. All of the blues decor is cool and the music they play is very relaxing as well. The owner was very friendly and nice. Service was fast and the food was great. You should definitely give this place a try and get you some of that good ole Oklahoma Smoked BBQ

Shout out to Keith, who owns Elmer’s BBQ in Brookside. I haven’t been to Elmer’s in years. Turns out they moved 3 years ago to 3316 S Peoria Ave. Keith’s passion for his BBQ and his customers is unmatched. My wife & I ate lunch there today and left with full stomachs and a new friend. The BBQ, sides and sauce were all terrific! It be BAD (in a good way)

Elmer’s has become my favorite BBQ restaurant in Tulsa! Had the chopped brisket dinner and it was fantastic—super moist and perfectly smoky. The fries and fried okra were great too! Fun atmosphere with some awesome jazz music playing and really friendly service. Will definitely be back!
