Runts Bar-B-Q & Grill

Really good BBQ dishes. Excellent fried catfish and pretty good sized baked potatoes. Onion rings are really good and they give you a ton on a small order. Steaks are way better than our steak house steaks. Can't go wrong with eating here.

We are here for the end of the month, "last Saturday of the month" all you can eat smoked crab leg dinner. That is the only day you will have this opportunity unless they change it.. The all you can eat crab legs comes with one side, we chose a regular baked potato. This visit was absolutely worth it. You will need to get here early before the dinner rush. After 5 pm the wait lists will be long. I can't imagine standing outside in the cold weather temps waiting on crab legs, but I'm certain there are patrons that will. We were lucky for our party of three to get table after a short 15 minute wait. Have a great time.. be sure to tip your table staff.

Runts has become my go-to favorite BBQ in the area this year. Great tasting food with a wide selection of meats. The best value is the all-you-can-eat deal. They load you up from the start, so I almost never finish the first serving to order more & I still feel the price is great.I believe you must order catfish, grilled chicken, or grilled shrimp on your first order if you want to try those, but any other meat is available on each order. You get to pick two sides and can also pick different sides on your refill servings.It's a popular place, so get there early because they don't take reservations.

Runts is a Muskogee classic, but our dinner experience this time for a Thursday night dinner was just okay. Service was quick. The inside of the dining area is the same as always. But the food just wasn't quite as good. No removal of the membrane on the ribs. My favorite appetizer of fried pickles, onions, add jalapeno, didn't actually have any jalapeños. And it was way too salty. Mac n cheese was like velveeta but less flavor. I hope it was just an off night.

Runts definitely has a reputation for having good BBQ. That being said, I was rather disappointed with this visit. I had the half rack of ribs with baked beans and fried okra. We also ordered the fried pickles and onions and added jalapeños (there wasn't a single jalapeño present). The batter was very salty. I only ate a few and couldn't eat anymore due to how salty it was. I normally will rate a BBQ restaurant based on their ribs and sides. These ribs were cooked pretty well. I could've used more pull off the bone. These would fall apart as you tried to pick them up. The rub was very bland. No heat at all. Looks like they just added paprika for color. I was hoping the baked beans would redeem the ribs but they were also pretty vanilla. They almost had a ketchup taste to them and not enough brown sugar. The okra was unfortunately overcooked. I'm hoping I just caught them on a bad night but this has kind of been the norm the last several times I've been. They definitely don't skimp on the ranch at least.

Found this yummy place on a road trip heading to Michigan from Texas. It was very busy on a Saturday at 1pm so that was a sign of the great food to come! Hubby had the catfish plate with spicy black eyed peas & sweet apple coleslaw and hushpuppies. He cleaned his plate!! I got the 2 meat plate with mild sausage and brisket with potato salad (Just like I make!!) and crispy fried okra. The brisket was tender and lean. The sausage had just the right blend of spice. All this for less than $50!! I hope our travels bring us back to this place again!!

Was told this is the place to go for BBQ in Muskogee. The place is small but seems to be a location that all the locals like. They do not take reservations at all. So if you have a large group you may have issues. Sweet tea is on The menu here. Park lot is small so plan to park next door if you need to Ordered the full rack and the taste is good. There are two sauces and regular and hot. Enjoyed the hot as it just a slight spicy side. I was disappointed in the baked potato as it must have been cooking all day. I suggest swapping out after a few hours. You do get butter in a container and a package of sour cream but again the potato was over cooked.

Food was great, with large portions and prepared perfectly. Attentive wait staff and clean facility. We had the chicken fried steak and small order of handed prepared onion rings. The onion rings were really good, small individual rings with a great batter. The CFS could have been fried a little less, but very tasty. I would highly recommend them for good food at reasonable prices!

Great food. Burnt end sandwich was delicious. Banana pudding was also amazing!! Can't wait to go back.

This was our first time ordering from Runts and let me tell you hands down best barbecue in Muskogee. Everything was so delicious and we especially enjoyed the fried zucchini. Thank you for a very enjoyable dinner!!! Marlon and Sherry Douthit
