Small BBQ restaurant in Tulsa and Broken Arrow. If you are a discounted shopper like myself, you are going to love this restaurant. The Broken Arrow location offers me a total of 14% discount through my Chase Freedom Flex (love this credit card) and Upside. Billy Ray's Catfish & BBQ does not have the best ribs or BBQ. Ribs were less tender and meats were sticking to some part of bones. Fried catfish filets were on the smaller side. Baked beans and green tomato relish sides were good. If you're able to get good discounts, I would recommend to check it out. Without discounts, I feel like there are better restaurants out there with better catfish and BBQ for the same cost. Super friendly service as well.

Pulled Pork Smoked Chicken Tabouli Catfish Mac N Cheese

Smoked Chicken, Good. Pulled Pork, Good. Catfish, Good. Taste clean, not slimy like Fish Daddy's. Mac and cheese, Good. Not just a box of Kraft Mac N Cheese. Bologna, Good. Doesn't feel like it has teeth and bones in it. Sliced Brisket, Good. Wife loved it, I don't like brisket. BBQ Sauce, Good. Bought a bottle. Tabouli, Good. Bought a pint. Or quart? Wife and I loved everything we got. Drove past it for years, now it's in the rotation!

Local spot w/ good BBQ! When visiting Broken Arrow, my husband and I stopped in at Billy Ray's for some good eats and we definitely found some here! The staff was super friendly as we walked in to seat ourselves at one of the tables. It's a small spot with a country feel. We got our orders in fairly quickly and the food came out even quicker. We got a spread of chicken tenders, mac & cheese, fried okra, fries, and a chopped brisket sandwich - everything was great, especially the tenders, brisket, & mac & cheese! Glad we stopped in!

Brisket sandwich and fried okra
Laura G.

Delicious. Got the brisket sandwich and fried okra. Went with a group of 8 which was challenging but the waitress was helpful in getting us a couple of tables together.

Chopped brisket sandwich
Chrissy S.

Omg. We came here and was NOT disappointed! I got the biggest baked potato with chopped brisket that I've EVER seen in my life!! It was super delicious too! We had never been there so they were gracious and let us try the catfish and it was delicious! It's not traditional batter. It's like a cornmeal. So it's not heavy or overpowering! Pretty small inside but super cute decor. We got there right at 11 on a Tuesday and there was a lot of open places for a group of 4 to choose from bathrooms were clean and stocked. We passed it by accident but look for the red paint! We will be back next time we are in town!!

ribs and fries
Wesley M.

As I walked in I was greeted and seated quickly. My waitress was very friendly and was able to give a great advice on the choice of items on the menu. 5 I ordered the two meat with ribs and catfish along with fries as my side. I did enjoy the fish as it was hot and fresh. Really it was the best item on my plate as the fries were not great at all and I only ate a couple of them. The ribs were alright but seemed as if they may have been cooked directly over the flame the whole time. 2 Just based on the service and fish I would be willing to give this place another shot but order something else to see if my experience would change the review.

Catfish, side salad, hush puppies and fries.
Kristin W.

Catfish was hot, crispy and fresh. Tasted like actual fish and not the muddy stuff you buy frozen at the grocery store. Crispy, hot made to order. Just the way fried catfish should be! Best fried catfish in town and the hush puppies ain't bad either.

Amazing plate, brisket was a little dry but great overall
Michael K.

Best catfish in broken arrow!! What a great experience love the home town at home country feeling when walking in the door from California, always treated with respect, love it here!!

We visited The Crazy Olive for lunch on Friday, April 10, 2026. We had been there a year ago and we…read moreabsolutely loved it, but I have to say that this time we just didn't feel the same. The food was about a 5 out of 10 at best. The best part of the meal was the gyro meat, It was absolutely delicious but nothing else was that great. We are huge Middle Eastern and Mediterranean food lovers so I feel like we can give a pretty good review on this. The cabbage rolls were definitely different than last time. They were heavier on the rice and didn't have as much flavor. The grape leaves were not good at all. We actually ended up spitting them out, unfortunately. The hummus was really heavy on garlic, which we love garlic, but that's not usual for hummus. The tabouli was super heavy on parsley with little to no bulgar wheat. I'm hate to have to write a bad review on this place but compared to how it was a year ago, it really has changed. I heard they changed owners, but I can't be certain about it. I also have to say it wasn't the cleanest place and they didn't have any napkins out and a lot of the tables were dirty. I think the couple behind the counter were the only ones working so I can understand that they couldn't get to the tables quickly, but it also isn't the best look when you walk into a facility that isn't kept up very well. I will usually try a place a second time, but this one was bad enough that I don't think that I will.

I have been going here for a while and I really enjoy the food. Home made and delicious. They have…read moremany items to choose from as well. It has an area to set inside and eat which is nice. They are very friendly as well. I like the grilled chicken pasta, the gyro, cabbage rolls and grape leaf wraps. I will be trying more items soon. Make sure to ask them about their soup of the day. They have good soups as well.

This Friday's visit to Broken Arrow had my son and I targeting the Blue Plate Cafe at the corner of…read more71st and Elm (Same location as Pho 71 and Lima Peruvian). He runs more to the tame side of food, so this was a logical choice for us. TLDR: good food, reasonable prices and really nice people. Got there around 12:45, and were seated immediately. We got menus and ordered drinks and set about making choices. My son went with the chicken and waffles, hashbrowns instead of eggs, since he doesn't eat eggs. I went with my usual diner test, the chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes, cream gravy and green beans. The inside is clean, neat and cheery. Staff were busy but attentive. Food arrived quickly and was piping hot. Son's chicken and waffles were outstanding, according to him. Chicken not dry and waffles crisp on the outside and tender inside. Not sure what syrup they use, but he commented that it had almost a cinnamon flavor that he loved. The dish comes with a berry compote type dip that was quite good. Hashbrowns were perfect. Crispy on the outside and steamy soft inside. My CFS was one of the better ones I've had. Not the best, but certainly an 8/10 on all points. Plenty thick enough, nearly 1/2" and well breaded. Crust to meat ratio was good too, with only a little pullback on the meat. Brust was flavorful and not at all soggy. Potatoes are scratch made, and the gravy was both flavorful and plentiful. Green beans were slow cooked and once I salted them, they were great. CFS could have been a little more tender, as some parts definitely needed a knife to cut, but overall, a really good effort. It also came with a respectable side salad that I enjoyed a lot. Prices are reasonable, service is great and the atmosphere is typical diner, without being a greasy spoon, not that that's a bad thing at all. My part of the order ran to $18 and change with an iced tea, and for what I got, that's not bad at all.

The American diner and breakfast eateries are cornerstones to Oklahoma. As enjoyable as an up-scale…read morebreakfast experience can be, I often prefer to keep my brunch experience to be high in quality and low in price. Thankfully, Tulsa is still home to many straightforward, homestyle establishments such as Blue Plate Café. I had the pleasure of trying BPC for the first time on July 15th (2025) and would proudly refer anyone there based on my experience. On this day, I had a work training nearby and had skipped breakfast. After considering a few places, I am grateful that I decided on Blue Coast Café. I arrived around noon to a decently filled restaurant. The entrance puts you face to face with a host behind the counter. The space was efficiently sized and not bursting with ambiance but I found the simplicity pleasing, reminiscent of a classic straightforward diner. There are framed pictures and fixtures alongside both the bright red and pale blue walls providing guests with a sense of the countryside. Most of the seating is tables with booths along the wall. The host invited me to sit wherever so I sat almost exactly in the middle of the restaurant since about every other table was empty. My server's name was Heather, 1 of 2 waitresses at the time. She gave me a tall 5-page menu that left me very impressed. Not only are there plenty of food options (breakfast choices, lunch options and everything in between) but the physical menu itself was well designed: large pages, balanced wording, simple colors and very easy to navigate. Mostly everything on the menu seemed good (perhaps because I was hungry) but I ordered a hot tea and Smoked Sausage Skillet and swapped the B&G/Toast/pancake for french toast. There was only tea choice (Lipton, Black) that came out almost immediately. After returning from washing my hands (wishing I would've brought a book), I listened to the rustle of the restaurant and chatter of the patrons as I drank the tea waited for the meal. Coworkers, families and older married couples convened. It was comforting. The food arrived within 15mins of ordering. The skillet looked mildly appealing: scrambled eggs on top, the cheese was next, all on a bed of crumbled sausage and veggies. Though the cheese wasn't 100% melted, the plate completely filled with food. I couldn't resist! I added salt & pepper and began mashing the ingredients together. It was a delightful assortment of flavors and consistencies. The French toast wasn't mind blowing but definitely better than average. Heather made sure the syrup was hot and condiments (salsa & ketchup) were brought. 10/10 meal, hunger satisfied! As I sat, appreciative of the satiating meal, Heather came to inform me that my meal was paid for! My head swirled around the restaurant to guess who it was but Heather didn't reveal who or why. I was even more grateful that I came! I walked away in awe and returned with cash to tip Heather. So unfortunately I don't know how much the meal was but I'll say that great folks work and dine at this restaurant and I'll rave about my experience for years.

(That was a rhetorical question; don't answer that!) I know some of you eat bunny food every day, but for the rest of us this is our occasional healthy departure to a garden-based meal that actually tastes good. I really like the Spicy Greens. It is exactly what is says it is. Lots of spice, lots of flavors and excellent falafels. My wife had the Steak Mezze Bowl. Also, delicious. All the ingredients of these meals are fully described in the online menu and of course you can modify the meal to suite your tastes. The food was fresh and it did taste good! Seldom do you get a meal in a fast-food restaurant that looks as pretty as the picture that enticed you to order it. Such was the case at CAVA in Broken Arrow. My description of the appearance of Spicy Greens and the Steak Mezze Bowl would be, "it looked like the dog's breakfast." (Check my pictures) The bowls were far from over flowing like the menu pictures and I'm pretty sure there was at least one ingredient missing from my Spicy Greens. I ordered it exactly as described on the menu, no changes. The friendly young lady assembling it had to pause a couple of times while building the bowls, and try to recall in her mind, what actually went in them. Friendly service, clean bright store, but I recommend the CAVA on S. Memorial My meal pictures might save you from converting to veganism; keep them handy. If you get to feeling a draw to the green side, look at the pictures.

It's a small spot and they were doing a lot of carryout orders. I did like that they have one flavor of Stubborn soda--Agave Cream--on tap. So good! I will be back.
