Albert G's takes downtown Tulsa by storm! The classic bbq place opened their second location recently next to McNellie's in the Blue Dome District. After a long period of construction, the gates to bbq mecca finally unlocked. Albert G's nailed it with their decor. Pull on the handle of a giant butcher knife to enter the restaurant. A great old Chevy car bumper adorns the wall when you walk in. Dark wood tables and chairs fill the enormous seating area and GIANT big screen TVs are in view from every seat. Who would've thought that Albert G's would fill the void of sports bars in downtown Tulsa? But they did a seriously great job decking the place out with amazing new HDTVs. I think they HAVE to get NFL Sunday Ticket soon. Wait staff is really good for a new bunch! Friendly, humorous, and speedy. This place is seriously speedy. You can get in and out of here on a lunch break, that's for sure. The food is really good. I was in a large group so we ordered a bunch of meat for the table. I'm a fan of the large, meaty ribs. The chopped brisket was pretty good. We also had turkey, sausage, fried okra, potato salad, fries. There were a bunch of cool menu items I didn't try yet: the sweet potato with chopped brisket, the brisket nachos, and (if I'm brave enough) the bbq parfait. Yes, bbq parfait, a tower of baked beans, meats, and coleslaw served in one large tumbler. If that doesn't scream Oklahoma, I don't know what does. Full bar available too. I tried "The Dolly" - kind of like a moscow mule served in a mason jar. Very good. I hear they're going to start some happy hour specials. Albert G's Bar & Q has a lot of potential to be a go-to downtown dining option. Huge space and good for large parties, quick service, great TVs and bar, I'm liking what I'm seeing. Definitely check it out. read more

While I'm more of an Elmer's guy, Albert G's is working it's way up to my discriminating BBQ preferences. Used to go to the one on Harvard all the time with a law school buddy. They've managed to modernize and update for their downtown location. Besides their BBQ they also offer an extensive bourbon/whiskey list. If I were without kids, I'd gladly visit just to imbibe. What I appreciate is that Albert G's, unlike some other 'Q joints, offers sliced brisket as wells a chopped. Sometimes I like to use my teeth. Got a combo sandwich of brisket and a hot link. The portions were abundant without being over the top and the prices are more than reasonable. The standard sauce bit to sweet for my taste, but their spicy and mustard sauces do the trick. read more

Great place to pick up dinner for a large crowd, fast and friendly. Ribs are sometimes hot or miss.

Good food friendly staff! They were more than happy to take walk ins even when most other places still don't have their dining rooms open. read more

The appetizer of fries/brisket/gravy was delicious, but adding the sielde of queso really put it over the top! There is also a pickle bar, a huge weakness of mine. The meat here is all deliciously smoked and the sauce wonderfully sweet. The baked beans were a little bland, but hey not everything can be perfect. The fried okra was expertly crisp and the mac n cheese was on point. This place is definitely on our list next time we are back in Tulsa! read more

For our fifth meal in Tulsa, we finally got around to having Oklahoma barbecue. We went to Albert G's based on a recommendation of a local person. We were there on a Saturday night and were surprised by how not busy they were. I personally like Texas barbecue and am familiar with Kansas City style so was curious to see how Oklahoma does it since we are kind of in between those two. We chose to go on Saturday night so that Ms T could have their Smoked Chicken. The chicken was well smoked, properly done with a nice rub and although it was not brined, it was also not dried out. I thought with some light salt through the meat it would have been stunning. Never-the-less, it was very good. Her fried okra was from frozen pre-breaded and was just OK. The slaw was a medium chop, made well in advance and was decidedly soggy/wilted. This is uninspired slaw; very sweet and bland. I added salt and wished for vinegar. I ordered chopped brisket worrying about the risk of sliced being dry. It had good beef flavor and reasonable smoke. It was served with a little sauce and would make a good chopped beef sandwich, but I just can't call it great barbecue. The ribs were good with light smoke. They were very tender, not dry, but not fresh out of a smoker. I would call them more grilled in flavor. Ms T actually liked them better than her chicken. My hot link was OK, it was sliced and sauced (don't do that, please). I found the sausage to have a hint of Pine Sol. I have experienced this before and don't know what causes it. I also had their beans. These were apparently house cooked white beans something like Great Northerns. I say apparently house cooked because they were underdone. They were sweet and tangy with some cinnamon. They definitely needed salt. They were interesting and kind of unique. Albert's was OK but kind of steered us away from barbecue for the rest of the trip. I don't mean to make it sound bad. Nothing was incredible and nothing was awful. Sides were average or below and our food was delivered just above room temperature so it quickly equilibrated to being fairly cold. The sauce is a local style I think and I would describe it as French or Russian salad dressing. Portions were large and the value was very good. It just fell a little short and I can't round it up to 4 stars. read more

Great food!! We had excellent service from Katie. She was helpful, professional, nice and knew the menu, both food and drinks. She even made suggestions. I had ribs, tabouli, wings, brisket & turkey. They were all excellent. The baked beans and potato salad were ok. The Margaritas taste really good . We had a regular one and a barrel aged one which had a hint of grapefruit juice in it. We will definitely be back! The only thing that was not pleasing was the sink in the women's restroom. It really needs to be cleaned thoroughly. read more

I would recommend against this establishment, not sure of dining in but take out orders are a joke. $18.50 for a "3 meat meal" all the meats are served in a paper basket that is about 6 inches long, 3-4 inches wide and maybe an inch high. The Polish sausage consisted of about half a Polish sausage link found at most gas stations with a roller grill. The 2 sides come in styrofoam 3 1/2 ounce (if that) cups, the macaroni and cheese was less tasty than generic powdered cheese sauce microwavable knock offs of Kraft's single serving macaroni and cheese, and $2.50 for a soft drink that *might* be 12 ounces? No appreciable flavor to the Polish sausage, pulled pork or sliced brisket. It is like they bought cheap meat, didn't bother to add any seasoning and it was so dry. Do they think everything needs a quart of sauce before it should be moist or have flavor? Needless to say, my first experience with this place is going to be my last read more

This place has a great vibe about it, the service was excellent, the food was great and was a great price for the amount of food on the plate. Everything was clean, CoVid protocol was being followed.. read more

Pretty darn good bbq. Had the smoked turkey and sliced brisket. Excellent selection of craft and local beers. Service was very good and quick even during the Super Bowl. read more

Brisket was best I have had in years. Staff was fantastic ! Side dishes leave a lot to be desired. Macaroni and cheese wasn't much like homemade and harsh Lemon herb seasoning on the broccoli was overpowering and bitter tasting read more

Albert G's is a good place to gather and have a good dinner with family. I ordered a chopped brisket sandwich and a rib with a side of potato salad. I also enjoyed the house made chips and ranch dressing dip. The servers and staff were very friendly and accommodating. We started with some house made chips that were crispy and potatoey. I found the chopped brisket to be mild and juicy but light on smoked flavor. The rib was a little dry but exhibited a certain mild smoky taste. I wouldn't consider their Bar-B-Que to be award winning but it does have a mild inoffensive flavor. The potato salad was very sweet version with good texture and small chunks of potato. I was pleased with it. Overall I would Albert G's is worth the trip but don't expect award winning Que. read more

Been here twice. The food is ok. nothing crazy or over the top. service was good. price was fair.. That's about it...

Albert G's was a mix of really good, ok and not so good. The good first, the ribs were the best St. Louis style ribs I have ever had. They were full of bold smokey flavor, juicy, and tender. The amount of lean meat was also incredible for them being spare ribs. The cole slaw was crunchy with just the right amount of mayo. To often the cabbage is drowned in mayo, this was not the case here. The beans have an extremely sweet sauce, not my favorite, but not bad if you like that kind of bean. The biggest disappointment was the sliced brisket. The brisket was very dry and tough. It was missing the same flavor that was so intoxicating on the ribs. I had to saw through the meat, not what I expect out of brisket that has been smoked for hours and hours. To sum it up, order the ribs and enjoy and avoid the brisket. read more

Albert G's BBQ - Two meat ribs, brisket - Barbeque Near Me - Tulsa, Oklahoma

Our family visits Albert G's once a month or once every two months. It's somewhat challenging finding this due to the construction and downtown one-way streets. Parking on the street or on a gravel parking lot (always our choice). Food is always great. Pickle and pepper bar for family sharing before the meals. Ribs are my usual but today I had Route 66 Nachos with pulled pork. Family friendly and several TVs. read more

Albert G's BBQ - Route 66 Nachos with pulled pork - Barbeque Near Me - Tulsa, Oklahoma

Found this place in Yelp and decided to give it a try for dinner. The food came out within minutes of ordering, so I wasn't really surprised when I got home and the ribs weren't all that moist. The chopped brisket was really good though, and I also enjoyed the coleslaw. The potato salad I found to be too sweet for my liking. Overall, it was just average BBQ for me. read more

Went a few months ago and it's one of my favorite new restaurants. Absolutely obsessed with the sriracha wings and waffle cut sweet potato fries. AND THE RANCH! WOW! My family is a ranch obsessed family. Everyone in my family loved every single bit of it. The server was a very nice guy who would laugh and cut up with my dad, which he really enjoyed. I have been telling everyone about this place and I can't wait to go back. read more

Albert G's BBQ - Amazing siracha wings and extra crispy sweet potato fries! - Barbeque Near Me - Tulsa, Oklahoma

Mediocre BBQ at best. Everyone in town said their ribs were fantastic, but I found them to be just ok.

I was born and raised in Tulsa and haven't really had a chance to explore the newer restaurants in the area since I've moved to Texas. I'm a sucker for good BBQ and glad I had a chance to eat here with my mother and grandmother. What I ordered as an entree is kind of boring- Smoked turkey with a side salad, and steamed broccoli. The turkey was super tender and full of sensational smokey flavor. They also add smoked bacon to their house salads which is pretty freaking awesome as well. I had to use some real restraint to keep myself from ordering the BBQ nachos as an appetizer-even though they were CALLING MY NAME! Why did I put myself through this torture of ordering broccoli at a BBQ joint and not getting the nachos? Well... swim suit goals! HOWEVER I couldn't bring myself to resist the chocolate-bourbon- pecan pie. I mean... I'm only human. The pie was absolutely delicious! I shared it with my mom and grandma and they both really enjoyed it too! I really love the feel of the eatery and can't wait to go back to explore their menu further!!! read more

Albert G's BBQ - Burbon and chocolate pecan pie! - Barbeque Near Me - Tulsa, Oklahoma

Visited Albert G's on one of our visits to Tulsa Oklahoma. Got a three meat combo of ribs, brisket and ham. We loved the seasoned meat and the brisket had not fat and the ribs fell off the bone. The portion size was generous. The sides was a little less to be desired for, sorry y'all failed in this category. The baked beans tasted like someone had tried a new recipe. Customer service was good. We only ate the meat since the side items were not so great. read more

The BBQ parfait was awesome!! I needed a smaller portion and it hit the spot!! Excellent meat, hot BBQ sauce!!

We were looking for a bbq place to go eat but it was getting late and I ddnt know alot of place that were still open so I got on Yelp and found this one. It says it closes at 10 PM. By the time we got there it was like 9:30. The people were friendly and the food was amazing. And also the prize was great for a big plate. It was a pleasure and sure will be going back again! read more

It was not good. Four of us ordered different things and none of us finished our food. My son took one bite of his sliced brisket and couldn't eat any more. I tried it and it was alwful, dry and kinda off tasting. Cold mac and cheese, wrong sauce on daughters wings, our beers we ordered before we even ordered our food arrived about 5 minutes before we finished. They were not busy either. Disappointing. Smokies will remain the best bbq in the area! read more

The interior is really pretty! It kind of looks like a brick barn! I had the brisket sandwich with a side of baked beans and they were both amazing! I also tried their banana pudding and I loved it!! The waitress was really friendly and helpful! :) read more

Albert G's is one of the best BBQ joints in Tulsa area. The downtown location has a huge selection of bourbon which I try regularly. Try a bourbon with the chopped beef and spicy hot links. It makes a great sandwich. read more

I know, who from Texas orders barbecue while in Oklahoma. I went with a group and got pulled pork. Certain the food was alright but nothing even remotely approaching great, everyone seems to be drowning their lunches in various sauces. I always consider that a failure. The service was kind, but seemed to get easily confused and there was a lot of plate shuffling when the meals arrived. Is my bar set too high? Maybe - but barbecue deserves the highest bar, and these guys just couldn't make it. read more

The worlds okayest BBQ. We stopped in on our way through town and ordered the BBQ Brisket Nachos to start. They were fine I guess. My boyfriend ordered the two meat sandwich with sliced brisket and sliced polish sausage. He only ate the sausage and said that was the only good part. I ordered the smoked Blogna, which didn't taste smoked at all. We both had mac-n-cheese and French fries. Mac-n-cheese was bland and fries were soggy. The service was also just fine. Nothing stood out as either good or bad. We both agreed this place was a snooze and we probably wouldn't recommend this place to anyone we liked. read more

Absolutely great barbecue. Chuck Gawey crushes every restaurant he opens and the new spot in Tulsa Hills just adds to the love. Ribs fall off the bone. Always good service too. read more

I loveeeeeee Albert G's. Whenever I visit home, I HAVE to stop by. I was in town a few weeks ago for one day only. It was Easter weekend and I had the bright idea to stop by Albert G's and get a variety of meat to take back to Texas for Easter dinner. The staff at Albert G's did a great job of packing everything up for me so that I could get through TSA without any issues. TSA actually did go through my bag of food and joked that they wanted some, but I was able to get on the plane and be that annoying person with fragrant food (it was a short flight with over 100 open seats). Most importantly, my family devoured the food on Sunday. I mean we ate every last bit of leftovers within 3 days. We made sandwiches galore. Can't wait to get back...thanks for the hospitality! read more

Can I give a 3.5? I was so excited about my first experience eating smoked wings and the 4 different sauces offered to accessorize said wings.....hot & sweet barbecue sauce, ranch, and chili based dipping sauce. For this I give a solid 5! Here's where the rub sets in (no pun intended....) brisket too dry! Unfortunately, this happens more often than not in my experiences with some barbecue spots....no moisture. Had it not been a to-go, I would have sent it back to the kitchen. No amount of sauce is going to disguise the dry brisket. Will I be back? Of course I will....I believe in 2nd chances and I believe in those tasty, smoky chicken wings! read more

The only good thing we're the wings. And those were overpriced. Ribs were chewy and dry, as was the brisket. Service was lacking. Humph. Good for wings and a beer but little else. read more

The order was very late and made us late to an event. There was hair in my side dish. The restaurant did try to help offset these with a gift card. read more

This place has a lot to offer just about any one. I came here with a few buds for some food and drink before heading out for awhile. The number one thing for me here is WHISKEY. Yes, that is right. It surprised me too. This place has bourbon flights, their own barrels they age whiskeys in and an array of cocktails of their own. Needless to say, this girl was in heaven. The fact that this can be paired with fantastic BBQ, I don't think I could ask for much more. Along with the great meats, they've got great sides as well. I loved their sweet potato fries (they're waffle style!) And my friends enjoyed their fried okra! Don't miss out on this place, they've got sandwiches, BBQ that will melt in your mouth, a variety of sauces, beers, cocktails and obviously if you haven't gathered yet, Whiskey!! read more

All the eats! Let's just have this for supper every night, ok? The salad they have is huge and so good! It has all the stuff a salad should have, and you will be stuffed. I love the brisket! The tabouli... Yum. Also try those BBQ nachos. And there's a pickle bar- what? All the pickles I want? Yes, please. Oh and the okra. I'm sure I'm leaving something out... The atmosphere downtown is cool, and the staff is nice at both locations. The sauces are drinkable. read more

Great BBQ and awesome service! First visit to this place and it won't be my last. I ordered the all inclusive meat sandwich and it was served to me in less than 5 minutes. It's a very nice place to come have a good beer, watch some football and eat some great bbq!! No question a must place stop when you are in downtown Tulsa read more

Awesome atmosphere, waitstaff was very friendly and professional. Food texture was very moist and appeared delicious but lacked depth of flavor. I had to put alot of sauce on it to spice it up. read more

I have come here a couple of times for company lunches and have never been really impressed. I thought maybe it was what I was ordering so this last time I ordered something completely different. It was not better. It wasn't terrible or anything but was simply just not good like everyone was making it sound like it would be. This last time I ordered turkey with a salad and broccoli. The broccoli was probably the worst I have ever had and the stalks and florets looked like they had been soaked in butter or boiled in it. The turkey was ok, but nothing to rave about at all. The previous time I was in I ordered some brisket and sausages. These meats were ok, when I ordered the beans the waitress said they were terrible and should get something else. Everyone else was getting the okra so I tried that. It was not very flavorful and the breading seemed like it came out of bag and was just tossed in a deep fryer. read more

A solid BBQ spot for being in downtown Tulsa, OK. This definitely a bar but serves good BBQ. I'm spoiled living in the SA/Austin area where we have some of the best BBQ in the country so this place didn't wow me but the brisket was lean and full and the ribs were meaty and not a lot of fat. Brisket is smoked well but doesn't have a lot of flavor and the ribs were rubbed decently with a good smoky flavor. Now the baked beans are definitely 5 stars and very reminiscent of the baked beans I grew up on in BBQ spots in Kentucky. All in all if you want BBQ in Tulsa come by this spot because I'm pretty sure there isn't one better in town. And a I didn't drink but the bar had a nice full selection as well read more

O.M.G! This place right here. I'm currently drooling just thinking about the food. We were a very large group visiting out from California on a school field trip. We rolled 20 students and 12 adults deep and let me tell you about how amazing the service was! For such a large group everything came out quickly and it was all hot and no ones orders were mixed up and there was not a single person who didn't love their food! I ordered the pulled pork sandwich for myself and I was so sad when I finished it all because I wanted more. When I saw fried okra on the menu I knew I just needed to have it. They did it perfectly too. I've had fried okra that ends up being way too crunchy but they got it down! I stole a rib and some baked beans and Mac n cheese from my teacher friend next to me and I definitely stole some sweet potato waffle fries from the teacher in front of me. Everything was absolutely amazing. We had visited another bbq spot our first night there and we felt like we were let down. I was sad because I thought I wasn't going to get some kick ass bbq before leaving but this spot here blew all my expectations out of the water. If I ever visit Tulsa again you know damn well I'm coming to fill up here again. read more
