a tray of meat and sides
Julie H.

My favorite BBQ in Tulsa! I called my order in, and it was ready when I got there in 20 minutes. I got the food for two to-go, which can honestly feed more than two people. It comes with ribs, brisket, sausage, chicken, and baloney. They also give you some pickles, pickled onions, and diced jalapeños, as well as some tortillas, so you can make your own tacos. It also comes with two sides of your choice. I chose esquites (corn) and green chile mac, which were some of the best barbecue sides I've ever had! And there's an area where you can get barbecue sauce as well as plates and utensils.

Alley Cat Ranch: Barbeque - Tulsa, OK Note about the ratings: Scores are out of 60 with a standard deviations of +/- 10 points. 56-60: pièce de résistance 50-55: Excellent 40-50: Above Average 20-40: Average 11-20: Below Average. 0-10: Bad Final Score: 51/60 Alley Cat Ranch Approximately one year ago, I embarked on a culinary journey into the world of food, using my senses as a guide to better understand myself and others. What began as a singular focus on fine dining evolved into a broader exploration. Through my experiences, I've had the pleasure of dining at remarkable places like The Meat and Cheese Show, Cherry Street Kitchen, Ma Der Lao, The Eatery, and many other wondrous establishments. Now, my journey takes a new turn as I delve into the world of food trucks and barbecue. Oklahomans have a deep affinity for barbecue. It's more than just food; it's an institution. Much like a steakhouse, an Oklahoman's favorite barbecue joint is their personal church, their own mecca. I confess my own bias; for the past 20 years, I swore by Dinks (Barbecue in Bartlesville)--the whole Dinks, and nothing but the Dinks, so help me, God. To break that pattern, I asked, "Who has the best barbecue in Tulsa?" The responses were numerous, but amidst them, one person, Nick Corcoran, had the courage to say, "Come to me for barbecue." Alley Cat Ranch is a food truck located behind Marshall's Brewing Company in Tulsa, Oklahoma. With car windows newly tinted, and my taste buds salivating, let's eat! Walking up to Alley Cat Ranch, you're greeted by the euphoric aroma of smoke and meat--an intoxicating scent that promises culinary delights. However, as with the smell of movie popcorn, there's a risk that the end flavor might not match the anticipation. For this meal, I ordered nearly everything on the menu--pulled pork, smoked brisket, smoked sausage, chicken, pork ribs, pinto beans, grits, smoked corn, barbecue tacos--let's dig in! Biting into the pork rib, your taste buds are treated to a beautiful salty-sweet flavor profile, transitioning to delicious pork and concluding with a symphony of smoke and meat fused together--a perfectly balanced combination. Nick has masterfully crafted flavors where the meat isn't overshadowed by smoke and rub; each bite is a harmonious melody of flavor. Moving to the sides, the pinto beans boast a wonderful, sweet barbecue sauce flavor, subtle and respectful to the beans' natural taste. The grits are cooked to perfection, with a mild corn flavor, but the smoked corn steals the show. Bursting with sweet smoky notes, each bite elicits moans of pleasure--an unctuous delight rarely found in barbecue. And then there's the sauce. Unlike my usual bias towards sweeter sauces, I find Alley Cat Ranch's sauce to be a revelation--sweet, tangy, and perfectly balanced, complementing the exquisite meats prepared by Nick. I must confess my newness and ignorance when it comes to barbecue, but Nick has provided me with my first true lesson--and I relish being a student in this new culinary adventure. Considering barbecue, I'd rate Rib Crib as the baseline at 30/60 and Dinks at 42/60. However, what I sampled today was beyond comparison--it was something truly remarkable. Nick Corcoran and Alley Cat Ranch have set a new standard for me in barbecue. I wholeheartedly recommend giving Alley Cat Ranch a try, and while you're there, enjoy a beer at Marshall's! Final Score: 51/60

Food trailer with an awning
Johnny M.

Just opened in the last week. This is going to be a welcome addition to the East village. It's a food trailer with a big awning out front. There are parked next to what looks like a old Sinclair gas station. I did not ask if that is their future space. Parking on both the east and west side of the building. The unique thing about the trailer is they are cooking on Tulsa's own Hasty Bake charcoal grills. It was raining when I went so not a huge crowd. Tables under the awning were comfortable. The lady taking my order was very helpful. I should have gotten her name. Service was very prompt. I got the one meat and one side for $12 Burnt ends with esquites (Elote) My burnt ends had a very sweet rub. Kind of a small serving maybe 6 ounces or less. I should have asked. Too sweet for me. But very good if sweet Cue is your thing. I am a savory guy not to fond of sweet flavors except desserts. As I was leaving talked with another dude on if he had been there before. He said yes and I asked what he liked. His first answer was bologna. Get the bologna. I love smoked bologna. He also suggested the ribs. I asked if they had sweet rub too. He didn't think so. Esquites we're excellent! This place has huge potential. I will definitely return.

Talk about Mind-blowing flavor bomb! I'm in tears just thinking about what I just encountered. I…read morenever knew BBQ could be so beautiful. They do BBQ straight justice right in the face. Fellow friends, you better get on it before people taste this bit of heaven or they will start running out of bbq to share. We got the chubby cheeks taco, a beef rib and heritage pork rib. Everything was just love. I can't explain it well enough but when you try, you'll know what I'm taking about. My absolute favorite was the Beef rib. The beef rib was melt in the mouth, succulent and perfectly seasoned. My bbq soul is complete. Their bbq sauce they have is fantastic and their other sauces are killer too! The service was fantastic. They were extremely nice and helpful. It's a food truck so I'm sure they move around but this time they were located behind American Solera. I can confidently say they are the bbq masters of Tulsa. I can't believe Tulsa would have such amazing BBQ but these folks do it right. Overall, it's the best BBQ I've ever put in my mouth! They know exactly what they are doing with their meats. I'll be back in the future.

This has to be the most artfully crafted and intriguing taco menu in Tulsa hands down. The hand…read moremade tortillas and succulent smoked meats are just the start of what has to be considered the highest quality taco in town. It's hard to fathom that the meat could be that smoky, juicy and flavorful. The sliced brisket is better than anything you will find in town without a doubt in my mind. I can honestly say that you would be doing yourself a disservice by skipping this place next time you're out for bbq or tacos.

I placed a pickup order at Oklahoma Joe's BBQ and was happy to find it ready right when I arrived…read more The restaurant looked clean, and the staff were friendly and welcoming, which set a good tone right away. I ordered the white cheddar mac n cheese with burnt ends, and the portion was large. The mac n cheese itself was decent, but the burnt ends really elevated the dish and added great flavor. The potato salad was also decent, exactly what you'd expect from a classic BBQ spot. The half chicken was seasoned well and came in a generous portion. I also ordered 1/2 lb sliced brisket. When I first opened the container, it looked like a smaller amount, so I actually weighed it at home to be sure. It came out to the full 8 oz, and there were a couple of smaller pieces tucked underneath the top layer. Once I saw that, I felt fully satisfied with the portion. Overall, the food is pretty good, and the experience from pickup to portion sizes to flavor was solid. I'd happily return.

Great staff, always smiling and ready to help. Nice open interior with plenty of tables and booths…read more Good brisket (better with sauce), great original BBQ sauce and excellent ribs. Rib meat is tender, great smoke and does not need any sauce to be enjoyed. Cherry bread pudding is stellar!

Stutts BBQ in Tulsa hits you with that rare, disarming warmth where the food is great, sure, but…read morethe real hook is the feeling that you just wandered into someone's family kitchen and they decided to feed you until you stop talking. The chopped brisket carries that perfect Tulsa flavor. It's not trying to be Austin, it's not chasing trends, it's just deeply smoked, tender, and unapologetically saucy in a way that makes you rethink why you ever bothered with sliced brisket at all. The ribs come out with that gentle tug, not the fall apart nonsense, the kind of rib that tells you the pitmaster actually respects the craft. And the hot links bring the heat in that slow, creeping way that makes you nod to yourself like, yeah, this is the right kind of trouble. But the buttermilk pie is the closer. The secret handshake. The thing that makes you sit back in your chair and realize you're not in a restaurant, you're in a home that just happens to have a smoker out back. It's creamy, tangy, sweet, and somehow nostalgic even if you've never had it before. It's the dish that makes you text someone immediately. Stutts isn't polished. It isn't corporate. It's lived in. It's warm. It's the kind of place where the food tastes like someone actually cares about you. And that's the whole point.

True Tulsa BBQ from a legend and staple in the community! Stutts definitely lived up to its name…read more I got the 2-meat platter -- pork ribs and chopped brisket -- with potato salad and baked beans. The pork ribs were incredibly tender and flavorful, pairing perfectly with the spicy sauce. The chopped brisket was that classic, smoky goodness and absolutely hit the spot. The "tater" salad was solid and exactly what you'd expect, but the baked beans were the real star -- jammy, rich, and delicious. The service was exceptional, and I truly came in as a stranger and left as a friend. The restaurant was clean, comfortable, and well kept.
