Albert G's BBQ

Our 15th 'cue stop in Oklahoma, and the 398th nationwide, brought us to the Downtown location. On street parking proved easy at one in the afternoon, and the building was an architectural gem. Be sure and admire the ceiling here!The food had its ups and downs. We ordered a dozen wings, queso and chips, and ribs with okra and broccoli. Two refillable iced teas brought the tab to $55.34 plus a nice tip for good service. The ribs, with their rub leaning to the peppery side, were very good, and needed no help from either of the two sauces on the table. The broccoli was broccoli, but the fried okra was very well done and thoroughly enjoyed. We also liked the brisket queso, and intend to play around with this dish when we get home. Alas, the wings were dry and curiously lacking in flavor; it took generous dollops of the ranch dressing to redeem them.So, a mixed bag, with the ribs and okra solid choices-- and don't forget to pay a visit to the well organized pickle bar!

I went for the food and stayed for the bourbon.Large place with a long bar. Service is friendly. Good comes out quick. They even have a pickle bar.

This place was pretty good but not my favorite bbq place. Some of my smoked brisket was dry and falling apart. Sausage was good. Their mac n cheese was disappointing - nothing special. I liked the cole slaw and the prices (compared to CA). Service was fast and friendly though.

Ok this was serious the most mind blower restaurant in Tulsa for me. I did not expect the perfect entrance host, the wonderful bbq food was delicious seriously, but the best of the best was the waitress that served me. She was honestly the most perfect server that I've ever had. This place is nice and clean and designed great inside.

We were seated right away on a Saturday night. Very few tables had people there while we were there. Our server Samuel was friendly and attentive. The food was good with the basic bbq options & good prices. We'd eat here again.

A great meal at a reasonable price! I came in on a weekday at dinner time and had immediate seating. Never having been here before, I took the servers advice and have the Rib platter. Generous portion of five St. Louis style ribs. 3 different sauces at the table, but the rub was good alone. Ambience was casual with soft music playing. Multiple televisions throughout with sporting events on. Think of a more upscale Rib Crib. Parking maybe a pain due to the downtown location, I walked from a nearby hotel so it wasn't an issue.

Tulsa, I'm worried about you. We need an intervention. Albert G's is not good BBQ. It takes more than just not being dry to make a good brisket. The Mac & Cheese and Potato Salad are not five-star sides.The chopped brisket tasted distinctly of liquid smoke and nothing else. The Mac & Cheese has that Kraft artificial cheese powder taste. The potato salad had good flavor, but the consistency of mashed potatoes. The service and ambience, on the other hand, were 4/5. Big tables, big screens, lots of space, helpful servers. I'd come for a drink, perhaps, but I don't think I can recommend the BBQ.

There are few restaurant/bars in Tulsa that I can't get enough of. Either the items are too expensive, the ambiance isn't worth dining in, the service is inconsistent or it's too damn far. But never do I have any of those issues with Albert G's. I grew up in a single-parent household with 4 brothers and sisters so you could imagine that we didn't eat out often. My mom knew of many BBQ places in town but she would treat me to Albert G's on the most special occasions. The food left a huge impression on me as a kid and now, as an adult, I am a stout supporter of this establishment.I am one of the biggest fans of Albert G's. I've always visited the downtown location but I've ordered out from their other branches as well. At this point, I've sampled almost everything on their menu - from their meats, sandwiches, and their sides - and I've never been disappointed! I enjoy the Nachos as appetizers, very healthy portions are provided every time, and the sliders, no matter which meat you get. A few of my favorite dinner items are the Chopped or Sliced Brisket, Tulsa Style Ribs, and the Turkey Breast. Given Albert G's reputation, I'm sure the other items are excellent as well! As far as the sides, you can't go wrong! I really like the sweet potato waffle fries, fried okra, baked beans, mac & cheese, and the potato salad. Lastly, PLEASE visit on Wednesday or Saturday so you can have the Smoked Chicken! I wish it was a regular item on the menu but it's worth the specialty, truly! The only reason I haven't had a chance to try their desserts is because I'm usually STUFFED by the time I finish dinner!Outside of the food, I am consistently pleased by the atmosphere of the restaurant. There's always a host ready and available to seat you. There's a diversity of seating options - booths, high-tops & a bar. Outside of the TV's that're usually playing a sport of some sort, the place is soothingly quiet. I've never had a bad experience with service, ever. From the host, to the bartender to the server(s). In addition, the bar is fully serviced. The bartender can make any type of cocktail but also has a solid knowledge on the beers in-house, seasonal or not.For the reasons stated above, I keep this establishment in a tight rotation. I try to visit at least once per month, or more, throughout the year. I don't know who the owner is but I'd like to sincerely thank Mr. Albert G! This restaurant makes me proud to be from Tulsa.

The tequila old fashioned was perfect. The Tulsa ribs are good and meaty with incredible flavor.

I'll first say that the food and vibe here are spot on. Some of the best barbecue I've ever had. The pulled pork and ribs are great. Not too salty and cooked to perfection. Sides were also good, everyone liked everything. Our server was not the greatest. Inattentive and lacking knowledge of what they were serving. But the other members of the staff were on top of things and making it happen.
