Oklahoma Joe's Barbecue

Staying in a hotel down the road, this place was close so we stopped in for dinner. It was pleasantly delicious! I'm kind of a picky eater and wasn't sure if I'd like it, but they had lots of great options and I loved their regular sauce. We will definitely be back! Thanks for the good food!

Took a shot on Oklahoma Joe's Owasso store for lunch recently.At 12:15 the place was almost empty, so that should've told me something. You place your order at the bar from a fairly complicated menu. Since I wanted to sample a couple things for a review, I went with the 2 meat plate (pork and bologna) and an extra rib ($2.99), beans and potato salad. That's about as BBQ as you can get without brisket.Food arrived lickety split, which it should for a BBQ joint, since nearly everything is precooked. I was a tad surprised to not find a rib on the plate, but when I checked my order, I saw the guy didn't ring it up. So okay, no harm no foul on that one, I just don't get a rib to try.In order of tasting, and by someone who's eaten a good deal of BBQ over the years:The beans had a really great smoky/sweet flavor. Lots of depth to them, but sadly they were undercooked. Not crunchy undercooked, just a tad too chewy for my tastes.The potato salad was pretty much a generic representation of what you'd find almost anywhere that figures potato salad is the runt of the sides litter. Bland, lacking any tang or tartness and also undercooked. A couple of bites were quite hard.The pickles.... pretty good pickles. OJ's must buy a good brand, so at least there's good judgement on that one.The toast.... easily the star of the meal. Lightly toasted, hot, just like I like it.The bologna... undersmoked and undercooked. Unless you're making it from scratch yourself, all you really have to work with on bologna is the seasoning and smoke, and this had little to none of either. I estimate the slice was 1/4" thick or so, cut into four quarters, because I imagine one thin slice would have looked embarrasing on the plate. By my estimation, there was probably less than $.50 worth of product there.The pork... I've had some really outstanding pulled pork and I've had some liquid smoke-cooked in a crock pot pulled pork, and this was about a half step above the latter. Lacking any richness at all, very little flavor and barely warm, it was an outstanding disappointment.The water, however.... was wet, cold and plentiful, so there's that.Rumor has it the food is smoked at a location in Tulsa, then trucked out here. That alone is a huge red flag for me, but I decided to give them a chance to shine, which they did not.For a total of $18.50, I cannot in good conscience recommend this place to anyone. There are just better places around town. OJ's managed to make even Rib Crib look good, and I never thought I'd see that one.

Ordered online for takeout and food was very tasty! Ready upon pick-up as promised and handed over by a friendly staff member. Enjoyed the hot link, sliced brisket, baked beans and mac & cheese.

This location is in a strip mall by Hard Rock casino. The service was good and the it was really fast! The food was good. I'd say 3-4 star brisket. They have some good house bbq sauce. It's a nice spot off the highway to grab some smoked meats.

Ribs and burnt ends are my go too! I'm always ordering a slab for leftover purposes lol. Also if you like spice like me ask for the Loco BBQ sauce

Very impressed with the ribs! Probably the best I have had and we love bbq. Would recommend to everyone try the ribs!!!

If you have a hankerin' for a seriously hearty meal you will want to visit Okla.Joes. Most if not all of the meat is gluten free. I normally get the turkey and sliced brisket. It'll make you yell WOO Wee! I never eat it all because I also always swipe a rib from my husband's plate - finger-lickin' deliciousness. The potato salad and beans are also mmmm & gluten free. The fried items are NOT gf. I've eaten at all of the locations and have never had a reaction. (I may have gotten the meat sweats but that's it!)

It's a must-try! Chris and I shared the Grand Champion Platter. It had tender, flavorful brisket, 3 fall-off the bone ribs, juicy turkey, tasty pulled pork and the best hot links I've ever had, hands down! It also came with Texas toast and a couple of sides - we chose the award-winning beans and the staff recommended the green beans! Whoa! I wish we just doubled the order of their award-winning beans! It was delicious!

Lots of food for the price! Lil wait but it was hot and fresh!! Sliced brisket was full of flavor and tender mmmm I couldn't finish it all! BBQ sauce was spicy spicy I like it but it has a kick!Mac and cheese was creamy good, love the spiral noodle! May start that at home Sweet potato fries were crispy good!!! My new fav!!!! Sweet tea was missing about 2 cups of sugar!!5/5 on the foodStaff was friendly!Super busy had to wipe my own table off and ask for ice refill in the machine . But nice meal before a night at the casino! Front row parking! THE QUEEN IS HERE

I'm torn. I ordered a half pound of pulled pork and a half pond of chopped brisket. I got home and opened it up but was disappointed. I got a half pound of chicken instead of the pork. Did I want chicken? No! Did I eat it? Yes. Was it good? I wish it wasn't so I could gripe, but yes. The staff was friendly too.
