Oklahoma Joe's Barbecue & Catering - Catoosa

Let me start by saying the food was great. By the time I order it my plate, got my drink and founded a seat my order was coming at me. The meal was wholesome and very much prepared and seasoned. While also being grilled to perfection. Will surely be eating here again. PS don't forget to try the best beans in the world as a side. You won't go wrong!

Burnt ends are great, so are the ribs and the pulled pork with 2 different sauces that are both great. Sides: beans are really good with great flavors, potato salad is above par but the mac and cheese was missing flavor. Also had some of the best sausage links ive had in a while, both the regular and hot were great. The bad...brisket, very dry and not that tender, which was odd because the burnt ends were so go.

Just okay at best! I ordered the half rack of ribs, baked beans, and macaroni cheese. The baked beans were good, the macaroni and cheese was very bland, and to be honest, may be the worst ribs I ever had at a barbecue place. Head to slather them in barbecue sauce to get some flavor. They just didn't have any flavor.

So my wife and with some good friends 🧡 🚗 drove from Missouri to eat at Oklahoma Joe's because they are good. I know this sounds eccentric, but I will say we can afford to drive it maybe 2 -3 times a year, but it is worth saving up for and worth the $$. Burnt ends are divine. The brisket is so very delectable. I like it leftover cold. Oh, let's not forget their hotlinks are fantastic. Now, the question everyone wants to know is, how are the ribs; fat, meaty, juicy, and of course, messy? The last complement I will give is their onionrings they are the best I have found in 600 square miles of Joplin, MO.

We went went when they first opened. The temperature of the food was warm, not hot, so I think it comes pre-packaged. They left off a couple of sides. Thankfully, we were close by, so we went back and got the items. The food tasted really good, I had fries as a side, and it was enough for 4 people. The food tasted even better the next day.
