Double D's Smoke and Soul BBQ

Double D's is a delivery service providing quality BBQ across Oklahoma City. They're so popular that if you wait until the last minute to order, they might be all sold out for that day. Therefore, you order well in advance. I ordered around 9:45 am: Sampler, to be delivered at noon. Delivery was at exactly noon as requested.The Sampler from Double D's is a great value; $20 (including delivery!) for Ribs, Brisket, Pulled Pork, Hot Links, Smoked Sausage, Wings, Baked Beans, Mac n Cheese, Potato Salad, Cornbread.The only downside was that my meal did not come with any utensils or sauces. Perhaps this was an accidental omission? It's mostly unfortunate because sauce(s) would have helped several of the meats. I ended up using the baked beans as a functional sauce which might have even been better than traditional BBQ sauce (spoiler alert: I love the baked beans). The sides...Potato Salad: I'm not a fan of potato salad, so I don't hold it against them that this side did nothing for me.Mac n Cheese: I very much *do* like Mac n Cheese. A delicious combo pasta and cheese, this side does its job well. Pairs especially nicely with the sausage, hot links, and brisket.Baked Beans: Superb. Truly the best baked beans I've ever had. There are tiny pieces of chopped brisket which makes the side heartier than usual baked beans. Especially good with the...Cornbread: Dense, crumbly, decadent. By itself it's fine, but in tandem with another element (for example: the baked beans), it's fantastic. I would eat an entire meal of the cornbread and beans. So good.The meats...Wings: Smaller sized chicken wings, but packed with flavor. Everything edible falls off the bone, so eating them is not the usual messy wings situation. Very good.Brisket: Good BBQ staple. In Oklahoma, brisket is the go-to BBQ cut, and Double D's makes good brisket. Would have benefitted from BBQ sauce.Hot links & Sausage: Both are tasty. The hot links have a snappy casing around spicy meat. The sausage are smokier and mellower with spices. They're cut identically, but the hot links' red hue differentiates it from the browner sausage. Ribs: Quality cuts, smoked long enough so that the meat falls off the bone. Would have benefitted from sauce to give it some hydration and complimentary flavors.Pulled Pork: My favorite even though pulled pork is usually not my BBQ preference. The seasonings on this pork hit just right--pronounced but not overbearing. Like the brisket and ribs, the pulled pork could have used some sauce. Fortunately, the baked beans worked well as a substitute.Overall: I was very pleased with my first meal from Double D's. For $20, the sampler provides at least 2 meals' worth of meat.

8 out of 5 stars for pulled pork 5 out of 5 stars for potato salad10 out of 5 stars for collard greens10 out of 5 stars for customer service This is a place everyone in OKC should know about. This review is for the Double D food truck, which is opening a restaurant in October. The truck is parked at Portland Ave. and NW 17th on Fridays and Saturdays, which is where the restaurant will be. The food speaks for itself. The best pulled pork I've had anywhere in Oklahoma, and tied with the best I've had in Georgia, Tennessee, Kansas...Hands down, far and away, the best collards I've had anywhere, ever. (Please don't tell my grandfather I said that.) Seriously, the greens, I didn't even know they could be that good. Bonus that the two guys running it are super friendly, and clearly know their 'q. The food truck (an old travel camper) is nothing fancy to look at, but they have all their health and business permits right on the window, and whatever they're doing, it clearly more-than-works. My husband and I stopped here a couple weekends ago while spending the Summer in OKC. We both got the pulled pork sandwiches (special for the day), potato salad, and collards. The prices were standard and the servings were generous. I only wish we went sooner and more often. For anyone who lives in OKC, consider yourself fortunate with great food like this. For anyone who travels for food, this is a place to go. We'll definitely be back.

The Brisket just melted in my mouth, and the Pulled Pork was delicious. Lovin those darn Collard Greens!!!
