OMG...This place is not much to look at aesthetically, however, what the building itself lacks, its made up with prompt, courteous and efficient service. Above all else, the food is absolutely delicious. You can't miss on anything BBQ related but if you have a penchant for catfish, this is your place. Growing up in Louisiana, I know good seafood and most of all, I know my catfish. This fish is fried the way it's fried all over the south with cornmeal coating instead of batter. It's always piping hot and seasoned to perfection. You can't go wrong with your sides, however, I always opt for fries. BTW, don't forget that Friday night is All You Can Eat catfish. Try these folks out. They are local and amazing. read more

My friend was there this past Saturday May 12,2023 and got a dinner with an order of baby back ribs, coleslaw and baked bean. The ribs were all dried all they didn't cut them so you could just pick them up and eat the, the cole slaw was tasteless, I picked over what I could eat and threw the rest away. This is like the third time I've had food from them and it was sub- par. I don't know if its because we're African American or what. It never fails we've gotten Okra that was refried and crunchy, next time I'll check the food before we leave instead of getting back home to Tulsa, and not be able to eat it. I'm very disappointed will never eat there again, thats a promise. read more

You can tell this place is a local favorite by the line of cars always at the pick up window. Not a big interior, but although they are usually packed, I don't ever remember seeing anyone wait for more than a few minutes to be seated. And my wife and I eat there regularly. I always order the dinner for two and ask her what she is going to get! It comes with ribs, fried catfish, and half a smoked chicken with 5, count 'em, 5 sides. Plenty of food for two hungry people. We usually get the tabouli, French fries, fried okra, and I love the green tomato relish and brown beans as our sides. The catfish is always fried to perfection with crispy cornmeal batter. I really like their tartar sauce. The smoked meats are great--never dried out--and often we get burnt ends too as an extra. BBQ is my love language, and this is the best BBQ and fried catfish in the area in my humble, yet accurate, opinion. It's a carnivore's delight! Wonderful food, great service, but nobody goes there for the ambiance. I give Billy Ray's my highest recommendation. read more

Really good BBQ! Ate there for the first time last weekend and it was so good! Great customer service as well! Highly Recommend!!

My friend took me here while I was in town and I will definitely be coming back next time I visit OK! The food was delicious, service was fast and friendly, and the cost was cheap. The sides here are pretty typical tasting, but the meat- the flavor and quality were some of the best I've ever had. I got baby back ribs and my friend got catfish. Both were excellent tasting and cooked to perfection. Hands down some of the best BBQ I've ever had. read more

I like catfish. Most times in a restaurant the filets are small, or off flavor or both. The catfish here is delicious!! Generous portions of tender flaky catfish my choosen sides were, fried okra and another side of fried okra. Also delicious. My wife and grandsons got the shrimp which they really enjoyed. We ate there based on a recommended. We was also told by some family that the bbq is top notch as well I would highly recommend this place. Good food, good portions, and friendly service. Can't beat that. read more

Catfish lunch was on point, and the wife's spud was delish! Our server was great!Excellent music playing as well!

worst place I've ate at in a long time got the fish and it was so bad greasy and burnt on the way out looked at other people fist looked way better than mine ill give it a never come here again rating wife BBQ sandwich was low rating also .. 35$ disappointment.. all places in Tulsa to eat we picked this place ‍ read more

First off, The ambience is nice. It's not a huge place but it's comfortable. When the food came the first thing I noticed was that everything is already covered in barbecue sauce. It should always be a choice in my book. Barbecue sauce should not be necessary but a nice option. I ordered the baby backs with sliced beef and was presented on a tray. Flavor profile was decent and over all the food is enjoyable. The beef was clean and dry and they offer no option for moist. Next time I will order without barbecue sauce already slathered on everything. read more

Finally found the best catfish in Tulsa. Kkkkkkkkkkkkklkk Ifillets good but i lkke whole catfish better. I cant find any! read more

absolutely LOVE this place. they have great catfish that is crispy on outside and moist inside. the fish tacos are wonderful. not the normal as they are made with fried catfish and a hard shell but they are delish! we love the okra (when they remember to include in my order - make sure you check your bag as we have had it missing but they always compensate the next visit as long as you call back immediately). the bbq is great here too. love the ribs and the pulled pork is great. the Cole slaw is good and the beans are great too. i like the corn on the cob . guess I haven't had a side yet that I haven't like to tell the truth. loaded baked potato is yummy too. get so,etching different each time you go and you won't be disappointed. read more

Very good fried catfish and ribs. Also fruit cobblers, and they have a great burger and fries.

Do yourself a favor and try this place out! The catfish is stellar! It's some of the best in the Tulsa area. Also, their smoked chicken is truly great! I've tried smoked chicken at other BBQ joints and it's typically dry & flavorless, that is NOT the case at Billy Rays! Their smoked chicken is always moist & flavorful. The dining area is quite small, so be prepared for a wait on busier nights like weekends. read more

My favorite place for BarBQ and catfish. Service is fast and they have a drive-thru. Very yummy and consistent. They also offer more than the usual sides. read more

Excellent Catfish. The fish was cleaned properly which makes all the difference in taste! And it was piping hot n crispy!!

Stop by between games at the Tulsa Elite Invite and we were not disappointed! Catfish was good the okra was the best!! Super light batter was crunchy and perfect. It's a small place but not small on charm! Wait staff were all sweet and fast with the refills!! A plus in my book! read more

Great hole in the wall place! Had lunch and really enjoyed the chop brisket sandwich. Fried okra was fantastic as well. Would definitely recommend for lunch. Fast and great service. read more

I love the food and service. Always excellent. Tyler has done several cater jobs for me. Always on time. Food always hot and juicy and he sets up everything and makes sure everything is ok before leaving my venue. Tubuli is the best I have had and the rib meat is so tender and juicy. Falls off the bones. read more

Great service but the food was just eh the building was very small and hard to move around in. I was expecting more.

Food is great... However...if you go through the drive through window and are asked to PULL AROUND BACK, do not do it!!!!!! They forgot about our order. I went in and after much talk and scurrying around the order finally appeared about 10 min. later. Total took us 45 min. to get 3 simple orders. read more

I would give a 5 star rating on the fact that they do have the best tabouli I have had since Frank's Country Inn went out of business a very long time ago. BUT they need some serious inventory control upgrades!!!!! We have tried to get some tabouli 6 times in the last week and a half only to be told they don't have any more. A couple times was a little late in the evening but a couple have also been in the afternoon. I can understand not wanting to make too much and waste some but, come on!!! I am about at the point of just never going back and continuing to search for good tablouli, even if it is not quite as good. read more

Hands down the best BBQ IN BA!!! Having lived in Kansas city for 4 years I have had some of the best BBQ ever. Billy Rays is right there with the best. The catfish is so exquisite. The sliced brisket leaves you with your eyes shut appreciating every bit. Best BBQ on this side of the Mississippi. The service though is what separates Billy Ray's from the rest of them.. Excellent service!! Raelee and Kyler are a dynamic duo working the dinning room hosting, serving, and bussing tables with a smile. Haven't seen a more powerful duo since Kobe and Shaq. If you haven't been to Billy Ray's Catfish & BBQ yet I suggest that you go and discover this hidden gem. Thank you for having me. I WILL BE BACK read more

Billy ray's has really good bbq. A little snug inside but big enough. They have the best catfish in the country!

I like this place better than rib crib. Rib crib used to be my number one spot but they are to mainstream and you are able to taste the rush of not letting the meat time to cook properly. You won't have that problem here, very low wait times, very reasonable prices, and you can taste the love in the BBQ!!! This is my new favorite place. They need to expand the seating, but they also do carry out/ drive through. read more

Wonderful small town restaurant feel the second you walk through the door. Waitresses are amazing with children. Bathrooms are immaculate.

Billy Ray's is one of our favorite places to eat. I usually get the 2 meat dinner with catfish and ribs. Always way more than I can eat, so I take home wonderful leftovers. Their catfish is flaky, crisp and mild. I'd even say legendary! The ribs are well smoked, tender and not quite fall of the bone. We also love their sides of okra, potato salad and the tomato relish is great. My husband usually get a brisket sandwich (sliced). It comes with plenty of meat and a small bowl of sauce so you can dress it as you wish. The people are friendly and fast. I have also used their pickup window (call ahead for faster service). Best barbeque around. read more

Billy Ray, the answer to your question, we were there May 21st. At about 130-2pm. We sat in the South West corner of your restaurant to be exact. read more

I sat in the drive threw for 15 minutes. Wasn't served. I would have liked to have enjoyed the BBQ but wasn't allowed to by the wait staff. Kind of sucks that I wasn't allowed do eat because of the awful service. read more

This is my go to place for catfish but they make the best fried okra and green tomato relish that I have eaten anywhere!

Really loved their bbq. I especially liked that you could order a two meat selection and get catfish for one of them. Catfish AND bbq all at once. Also liked that one of the side choice was 1/2 baked potato instead of a whole one. You won't leave hungry. read more
