What made it worse was the floppy flimsy bacon and even more heinous was the wads of meat in the middle of the sandwich.

Plus a nice selection of muffins and bakery items, if you have a sweet tooth. The cinnamon rolls are excellent!! I had the everything bagel with veggie cream cheese. The everything topping is on BOTH sides of the bagel! When have you ever seen that? Never! The cream cheese is more than adequate, at least a 1/2 inch of cream cheese on my bagel. They also sliced my bagel in half, without me asking. Easier to eat that way. The interior is classic, basic table & chairs with a few booths. Very clean. The staff is very friendly.

It's been a really long time since we were here together, hubby much more regular than I. Still a rather long time for both, yearning for an awesome Reuben. When did they stop using bread? From "2 Jews who Love Food" Traditional New York deli Reuben's are -- and always have been -- served on sliced Jewish rye bread, not a bagel. The struggle with bagels often comes down to the classic bread-to-filling ratio. . . Should I rest my case? And they make reference to the density of a bagel; one reason there's no room for filling and/or an Olympian Stretch of the jaw. We ordered the Reuben on rye bagel & the Bruschetta Chicken On Asiago on the order taker's recommendation. Please see (read) pictures for result. 3* for the awesome employees. Everyone we came into contact with was extremely nice. And I'm sure their bagels are just fine.

Upon arriving at my table, I was offered still and sparkling water to drink and my server was very attentive to my needs and kept both of my water glasses full. I ordered the chicken piccata. The chicken picatta came with a generous helping of three pieces of chicken served with a buttery pan sauce and capers alongside whipped potatoes. The chicken was excellently cooked and was tender and moist with ever-so-slightly crisped edges. The sauce was tangy and the capers added a bite that worked perfectly with it on a way that really made the chicken piccata shine as a dish. The whipped potatoes did not have a lot of flavor on their own, but meshed well with the pan sauce. At the conclusion of the meal, the check came with an Andes mint. I love those, and while it is a small gesture, it made me smile and improved my evening just that little bit more. This was a great experience with great food! 4.5/5

The chopped brisket was delicious with good texture and not too fatty, Pulled Pork, had texture but still tender and juicy with a nice skin on it! The Chicken tender brined and smokes, very tender and juicy. The Ribs had a delicious dry rub and were just at fall off the bone, not over tender at all. The ham was good but the least standout, as well as the sausage were all cooked to perfection, crispy skin and so tenderly cooked. The Slaw was a vinegar slaw that was a little heavy on the onion and celery seed, while the Baked Beans were sweet and tangy, some ketchup and mustard and I'm guessing but I taster Tamarind, delicious . The Potato Salad was absolutely lovely! ~ tasted like a mayo and mustard dressing with egg yokes? , dill pickle chunks and dill... reminded me of a deviled egg potato salad ~ WoW again.

The cheeseburger came slathered with an over abundance of mayonnaise and the burger lacked any seasoning at all. Can we say bland? The fries weren't salty and average. Now the good somewhat.

Their gravy is very simple, but very good. It also came with garlic bread which was very good. The onion rings had my favorite batter and were tasty. The only disappointment was the coleslaw. It was indescribably atrocious. I've never had coleslaw that bad. It was literally a task to get that awful taste out of my mouth. I'm sure I have PTSD from that coleslaw. The person who served our food was very nice and explained the daily specials to us. We will come back for the chicken strips and give another menu item a shot. As always, caveat emptor.

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.

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.
