Oakhart Barbecue

"Our 396th BBQ stop in a 35 state odyssey is destination 'cue at its finest! $53.06 purchased two plates-- the first brisket with coleslaw and cheesy grits, the second ribs with cheesy grits and pinto beans. A jalapeno cheddar sausage, and two banana puddings, completed the order. Everything we tried proved exceptional. The fatty brisket was well smoked, moist, tender, and blessed with a slightly understated version of the classic central Texas rub. The ribs separated cleanly at the bite, and again the rub was sufficiently understated to allow the flavor of the meat to shine. The sausage was more cheesy than most, and very good, while both the grits and pinto beans were superb. The coleslaw, in turn, is one of those clean, palate cleansing bites that is ideal on a plate with two or more meats. Finally, the banana pudding was light, and not overly sweet, which is just the way we like it. All in all, we would rate Oakhart one of the three best 'cue joints of the fourteen that we have visited statewide.."

"Pork ribs were excellent but pork ribs usually sell themselves. Brisket, a better marker of a good BBQ joint, was good but not great. A bit dry for my taste. Sides were very average. Again, not bad, just nothing special. Folks were nice and service was quick."

"Everything was great!!! Not pictured is the burnt ends that are only there on Wednesdays! Brisket was good, ribs were phenomenal and the burnt ends are insane! Highly recommend"

"I don't know what else you think we're gettin' in Tulsa but this is IT! Oakhart is the ONLY BBQ worth eating in town, full stop. Simple, delicious, sells out, messy, limited menu, plain and easy to order, extra pickles and onions, sweet tea, meat. Go home happy. The strong vinegar in the sauce is my dream come true. And the whipped texture of the potato salad with skins intact is something I frequently dream about. Mmm.... Oakhart."

"First time here and it was fine. Service was quick and a speedy checkout. To be honest not impressed with the potato salad, very bland. Luckily they were onions on my tray that I diced up and added along with pepper. It was salvageable! Beans were so so, I added BBQ sauce for additional flavor. The brisket was the highlight for me it was delicious! The ribs just medium! The inside tables were cleaned and had the good BBQ atmosphere. I don't make it to Tulsa as I would normally like but would have to give it a second go round as a comparison."
