Swadley's Bar-B-Q

Great experience at Swadley’s BBQ! We ordered the OK Sampler and everything was delicious — the meats were tender, the sides were flavorful, and the portions were generous. Our waitress Ryan was fantastic, very friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. Excellent service and great food, we’ll definitely be back!

2-18-26 around 7:30 PM. I phoned in an order for the burnt ends sandwich combo with a side of spicy beans. With taxes and tip it was $24.31. What I got after getting back on the road was not what I expected. The meat was dry and almost inedible, the bun was stale and the beans were almost dry as if they had been setting out too long. I was asked on the phone if I wanted extra sauce on the side which I said yes, but there wasn’t any. Maybe that would have helped. The tea was warm and quickly melted the ice. I couldn’t help but wonder if my experience would have been different if I was a dine in customer rather than a drive through. Apparently I ordered what wasn’t the popular items.

We hadn’t eaten at Swadley’s in El Reno in quite some time and were pleasantly surprised at how delicious the ribs were. They were the best we’ve had. They were so tender and the flavor was fantastic. We asked to speak to the Manager and it was Angela who we gave our compliment to. She told us Jorge, the kitchen Manager does a great job, and we agree! Our server Rueben was very attentive and checked on us throughout our meal. Great dining experience and we will be back!

Johnny was hands down the best server at Swadley’s Bar-B-Q. I was not there personally, but my parents were dining out after my dad had an eye procedure and could not see well. Knowing that, Johnny went above and beyond to make sure my mom and dad were taken care of and that truly meant the world to me. He was patient, kind, and incredibly attentive. Turning a stressful day into a comforting and positive experience. As always, the food was great. The extra touch that stood out most was the travel ice cream he sent my dad home with. My dad absolutely loved it. (Maybe ice cream cures everything) Thank you, Johnny, for your compassion and for taking such great care of my parents. ❤️

My husband and myself are first timers here & we had the best experience. The manager Angela was very sweet and attentive. I had the burnt ends sandwich that just melts in your mouth and my husband had the catfish, definitely know what they are doing ! BOTH AMAZING. Thank you so much !
