Oklahoma Joe's Barbecue

Oklahoma Joes is my favorite place to sit and enjoy ribs hot link beans, and okra. Washing it all down with some good sweet tea. Today I stopped on my way home to fill up on my favorites. I sorry to say that the ribs were nasty dry, warmed up from the day before, I could taste it. The beans were stuck together and dry, nothing like the juicy beans I am used to. The bread was heals and hard. Okra was perfect, and the sweet tea. This is the first time, and I eat Joes at least twice a week for lunch or dinner. I hope they were having a bad day, and were serving left overs for some reason. If this happens again, I will never eat at Joes again.

My Mom and I got the burnt ends dinner. Hers had considerable more meat than mine. We both had sweet potato fries and they were great! My green beans were a little bland. She said her cole slaw was really good. Its confusing on where to go when you enter the place. Signs would be helpful. You order at the counter and they bring your food the table. That's the extent of the "service". IMO, its expensive for the amount of food you get.

We’ve been at a few other Oklahoma Joe’s in OK and KC. This one - top of the list so far! The atmosphere is clean and “happy”! The staff so very friendly and accommodating. A few of our group had never been and they really enjoyed it as well - so our recommendation was spot on! The burnt ends were everyone’s favorite. Crispy and tender, smoked to perfection. The turkey was also a hit. Fried Okra - mmmm - you can’t get it like that in the north! One of our party thought the brisket was a little dry - but they still ate it. The baked beans were 10/10. Coleslaw was great too! Hands down one of our fav meals we had during our week in Tulsa for a business meeting.

This is nice and well maintained restaurant. We had an event to attend in the banquet room last Friday evening . What a great place to have it at! It offered great seating, upbeat atmosphere, excellent food, and a wonderful attentive employee named Tanera. She kept our food coming and she made sure our plates were removed promptly. I even chatted with her about how GOOD those beans were and she said even her mom loves them and her mom makes a great baked bean dish herself! Oklahoma Joe’s you did great! Keep up the great food, clean atmosphere and good choice in employee’s. We will make another visit soon!

Great BBQ! But here’s the thing: don’t go to a pork fight with a brisket knife. This is a PORK BBQ place. The ribs are great. The pulled pork is great. But the brisket is not good. It is dry. Sides are great. Get the beans. One caveat: the burnt ends are great. Get the burnt ends.
