BBQ in OKC?

[Gumby]

Ok Kids..I'll be spedning a lovely week in OKC..Any BBQ tips?

 

[Chocks]

Gumby...Here is the gouge for OKC.


Try to stay at the Westin, Bricktown. (If it still exists.) Bricktown is the restaurant/bar area where you want to stay. Trust me. There is great sportsbar in Bricktown that has something like 90 beers on tap. There are lots of women with, shall we say, "moral casualness". Enjoy, it's not gonna suck as much as you think it will.

Chocks.

Everything above is correct, except the westin is now a sheraton. OKC actually doesn't suck as much as you think it would. As for BBQ, I believe you are out of luck.

Leo's BBQ

Tapwerks Lots of different beers

 

[Beer&Brauts]

Tapwerks is great, spent some quality time there!
For BBQ, County Line up on 63rd and Kelly (off I-44) is good
There is a Bob's BBQ in Norman now - haven't tried that one but the original Bob's down in Ada is fantastic!
Enjoy the 115 degree heat index!

OKC for a week? WTF!!!

Ok Kids..I'll be spedning a lovely week in OKC..Any BBQ tips?

Jeez, Who'd you piss off??? I'm gone for a week and the whole plan seems to have changed for you.
On another note, got to see the A-380 do its thing at the "Show" today and got a minute in the seat of the 7X. Still bare bones w/ nothing but test equip in the back. It's very impressive on the walk around.

Go to Earls Rib on Reno and Meridian for good BBQ.
10 min drive from OKC.

I ate at the Reddog once......does that count as BBQ?

I was based at Tinker AFB a while back and there is a great place just off base to the north. I believe it was on N. Air Depot Blvd. It was maybe a 1/4 mile north of the Air Depot Blvd. gate. Exit 157 if I remember correctly off of I40. Small hole in the wall place on the right side when traveling North. Best BBQ I found in 4 years.

Check out Bricktown and the OKC Bombing Memorial. Won't make your stay in OKC seem bad at all after seeing it.

HERE's YOUR ANSWER

Tinker AFB was my home for several years as well....

I believe that the BBQ shanty off of Air Depot (just north of the TINKER main gate) is called Mr Griggs.... It is pretty good.

Couple other suggestions though: Ted's Cafe and Escondido (known simply as Ted's) is GREAT Mexican... some of the best salsa I've had.

Nick's at the Top: 5 Star steak house on top of a semi skyscraper on the NW side off of May Ave.
Cafe 501: It's up in Edmond (20 min northern suburb) but best sandwiches in the metro area.
I'll rack my brain for other options, but above references to Bricktown are accurate.
have fun!

Which airport are you flying into?

Which airport are you flying into?

I'm coming into OKC, but staying at the Residence Inn, it's the closest to the Best Western(Woohoo), where I'll be doing my business for the week!

Thanks for all the tips guys! I'll be looking foward to the red screen at the bottom of the Wx channel!

Hey Ricer, I had to find something to do while the bird is in ILG! Maybe you'll have a charter out there?

Sorry to hear about (S)Tinker. It was Mr. Sprigg's and I heard they moved further north on Air De(s)pot.

Van's Pig Stand in Norman I hear is good, and Bob's was still in Norman last time I checked. Just look up current address on that one too, might have moved. Any Rib Crib is OK. No pun intended.

Cowboy's BBQ has the best beans in Ruston, LA. Barring anywhere. I lived in Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Florida. Family in Mississippi. Best anywhere I've tried. I'd stop just for them, and that's sayin' somethin'.

If you are flying into Wiley Post (PWA) out of the airport drive go south to 39th street (it’s the new Route 66) make a right turn to head west. Drive about 5-8 miles to the little town of Yukon, OK. Keep on trucking west until you run into BAD BRAD’S BBQ! It’s on the south side of the road very easy to find. If you get to Garth Brooks Blvd. you have gone to far, turn around and head east a couple of blocks.

If you are flying into the BIG airport (OKC) find I-40 go west take the Garth Brooks Blvd/Yukon Exit go north on Garth to Main street (Ol’66 or 39th Expway) make a right head east a couple of blocks and it should hit you, the fantastic smell that is! Bad Brad’s is a very good small Okie town restaurant, great food, and good prices for BBQ. It beats those expensive places like county line hands down. And when your done there Take I-40 East to Bricktown (downtown) and have some fun. Lots of Beer bars, wine bars, Girly bars, and music every night of the week. You might catch a minor league baseball game down there tickets are cheap ($6-$14) and its right there in Bricktown. They are called The Oklahoma Red hawks.

As a native Okie I had to laugh at that one.

I second County Line up by the Cowboy Hall of Fame.

Hooters

Forget BBQ - go to Hooters on NW Expressway. Is Bikini Night on Wednesdays? Or is it Fridays? Or both?
