    Service was great very friendly and helpful since it was our first visit we were not sure what to order but staff helped us. I liked the barbecue turkey sandwich and my daughter got the chili cheese with fritos she really liked it. I order a baked potato but I feel that there was something missing in the taste. My husband got meet with chili and cheese and he really liked it. Will be back for sure!

    Hot link, pulled pork, brisket, macaroni and cheese, beans, toast

    Billy Sims is bomb. I got brisket, pulled pork, a hot link, mac and cheese, and beans and it all tasted great. The included sauce was really good too. The online ordering was easy to use and the food was ready when I arrived. The service was polite and the store appeared clean.

    Chicken/Turkey combo with Potato Salad and Green Beans
    Jenny W.

    Oh wow...I'm so glad my Grandma recommended this place. I'm usually a Rib Crib or Albert G's kinda girl, but I'm not fussy when it comes to good BBQ, and if you know me, you know I will eat anything and at the very least, only semi enjoy it. I just learned today, from a friend in SF, that Billy Sims was a football player for the University of Oklahoma and he even won a Heisman trophy! Woo hoo, so now I like it even more. We both chose the you pick two combo. I had the chicken and turkey, with green beans (yeah, with BACON) and potato salad. My grandma had the ribs and chopped brisket. OMG! I'm glad she was willing to share with me. Don't get me wrong, I like brisket and ribs, but just prefer chicken/turkey over that. Her ribs were to die for, and that potato salad was delicious and at the perrrrfect consistency for potato salad.

    Sliced brisket with side salad
    Donna H.

    Small place, clean with usually nice staff. Slicked brisket is good and tender. I like their original sauce now, I think they must have improved it. They have option to add meat to sandwiches for an up charge. I chose to sub a salad for my side, it was not worth an additional charge. It was okay, but small. Good place for BBQ.

    We got the three meat platter ,brisket ,pulled pork and polish  sausage with baked beans and potato salad

    The food was excellent we ordered a three meat platter the service was courteous and the restaurant was clean

    Black people BEWARE! I went to this location to pick up an order that my daughter had placed (and paid for) for me (over an hour before I arrived), because she was excited to treat me to a birthday dinner. When I went inside, I was asked if I was Grubhub or DoorDash (I'm not...surprise surprise), coincidentally no other customers were asked that in the time (over an hour) that I waited to get my food...again...over an hour! Also, coincidentally *wink *wink, None of the other customers were Black. Anyway, in the 60 min + that I waited for my order (don't forget that my 3 meat combo, plus one extra meat was paid for over an hour before I even arrived, in case I forgot to mention that), none of the white customers that came in were asked if they were there for Grubhub or DoorDash. Additionally, I watched as all the white customers were told that they had run out of meat that those customers had requested...Even going so far as to take the phone from one customer and offering varying solutions to the person on the other end of the line. I sat patiently as these other customers came and went...It's busy, so why complain?!? But then when it was FINALLY my turn to get my order, I realized I didn't have all the meats my college aged daughter (who is working 2 jobs to pay for school, but insisted on treating me to a birthday dinner, had paid for), I asked (politely, because I made sure to let them know that "I know my place" just like that worker handling my food acted like he expected)...I was told, "I can't give you what I don't have"...No apologies. No explanation. No substitutions. Just a, 'take what you get and shut up' attitude from the worker. That was bad enough, but when my wife decided to leave a Yelp review, the owner of the restaurant decided to make excuses for their bad behavior and comment with the business equivalent of "I have a black friend so I can't be racist" and even went so far as to blame HER for creating division because of our "perception". They acknowledged that they might possibly hire racists, but then basically said that they aren't to blame. They mentioned the video footage of my time in the restaurant, and said they didn't see anything racist or rude. Not even bothering to apologize for the absolutely horrible customer service that was given (even if they thought it wasn't racist). After my wife called them out in her Google review, they updated their Yelp review to say that the single (ignorant and rude) employee that said "I can't give you what I don't have" wasn't racist, and even stated that that he wasn't rude. This location obviously thinks that Blacks are not entitled to decent treatment. This location seemingly feels that Black people should feel privileged just to walk through their door. This location is seemingly ok with hiring racists and will blame the victim and tell US not to create division. This location seems to have a problem from owner to cashier, and it's obvious. I would recommend that Black people spend their money ANYWHERE but here! Shoot...throw it out the window, if you want your money to be more appreciated than it is at this restaurant. If you complain, your review will be met with, "We have a black founder" so we can't be racist, but we all know what that means...And an accusation that WE are causing division (which we all know us code for, "shut up and appreciate that we even let you in). This thought process is what keeps racism alive. This is something we've always had to deal with, but now we don't have to let them use a black face to get our money while they also hide behind it. The days of minstrel song and dance are over. Spend your money at a business that is happy to see you! I have posted my wife's Yelp reviews (that were removed) and both of the owner's responses...The pre AND post Google responses. Plus the Yelp removal.

    Stopped for lunch (04/29/26). Our meals were fabulous! Had…read morethe brisket & smoked turkey. The sides (pinto beans, potato salad & grits) were equally as wonderful. Only little drawback is...they should have another choice of BBQ sauce at the table. And it would be nice if they had a beer license! Beer & BBQ..YUM! Still worthy of 5 stars & highly recommend Oakhart BBQ!

    It's always good news when Tulsa gets a new Barbeque restaurant. In fact, it's a privilege to have…read moreso many good, authentic and/or homegrown eateries in our area. Which is why I'm sad that I'm just now being able to visit Oakhart last year, 4 years after they originally opened. Oakhart BBQ, located just East of Downtown, has carved out a great corner of the market. After being on my radar for a while but with limited hours, I finally walked in on Friday, October 31st around noon. The familiar patrons grazed the area just enough not to be crowded, a medium fill of people. The line wait was about 6mins and the staff were attentive when you got to the front. Though the prices were comparative to similar BBQ eateries of the area, Oakhart presents more like a shack as it's interior & seating options aren't as lush. The menu is handwritten on butcher paper & each employee had a different vibe but same apron. The delivery is al la cart, you get your food as soon as you ask for it & choose a chair. I got the baked beans, smoked brisket & Ribs, a decent variety to test the palate. The meal didn't initially look too appealing so I added salt & pepper to the sides. Each table is equipped with a standard & hot BBQ sauce. Just like in Texas, nothing matters more than the meat itself. I wasn't surprised that both the brisket & ribs were rich, tender & tender with a flavorful outer-char. The sides weren't as appealing, in look or in taste, even after the salt+pepper. The macaroni was wet & flaccid while the best thing about the beans were their temperature. I'll end my nitpicking as the meal was still satisfying. I would have liked to spring for the dessert that was offered but the ticket was already $25.00 (with tip) without a drink. As someone who's lived in Austin, I appreciate that Tulsa can attract, maintain and appreciate differing styles of BBQ. I was happy to see people supporting & being amongst folks who enjoy straightforward cooking. It's good to know that you can experience a bit of Texas in Tulsa which just the right amount that we need.

They definitely have their own twist on things. The sweet potatoes were good but a little heavy on the nutmeg. They tasted like a mix of apple and pumpkin pie. The mac and cheese was really creamy. I really liked the horseradish coleslaw. I'm not a big fan of collard greens but I still tried them and actually thought they were pretty good. For our mains, two of us had the brisket and one had ribs. Both were super good. There were 4 different sauces. I recommend trying them all. I wanted to try the sausage but they were sold out. I guess you need to get there earlier than an hour before they closed. We finished with a couple desserts. The banana pudding was probably the best I've had. Their seasonal cobbler was blueberry and very tasty! I was hoping for peach. Maybe next time. Yes there will definitely be a next time. It was a lot of food so we had plenty left over that ate for lunch the next day. The atmosphere is super friendly and really clean. Like most barbecue places I've been to there is no table service. You order and pay at the counter. Then depending on how busy they are they will bring your food to your table or have you pick up at the counter. For me the cherry on top is their pay it forward meal. For $15 you can buy a meal for someone in need. They hand you a receipt that you pin to a board. Then when someone needs a meal they can go in and grab one off the board. They offer them their lunch special. While I was there I saw a very grateful individual come in and get a meal. The staff were super nice and treated them just like any other customer. Great food! Great service! Great value! Do yourself a favor and try this place!

Holy moly rolly poly that little styrofoam cup should come with a warning label because it's absolutely ridiculous. The chicken was so juicy, I was almost more impressed by it honestly. But brisket of this tier is just such a rare find... the other two with me easily admitted it was the best they've had in their entire life. Ribs too.

The beans have a Smokey sweet flavor that is perhaps the best bbq beans in Oklahoma if not the country. The pulled pork was also tender and sweet, expertly cooked. The brisket was tender and easy to chew. The ribs were perhaps the second weakest part of the meal. That said I have eaten worse in most places in Tulsa. They were tender but in my opinion could have been better. The chicken was the weakest part of the meal. It was a bit dry but tolerable. The potato salad was creamy soft with just a slight hint of vinegar you expect to taste in potato salad in a perfect balance of flavors and textures. We ordered the Mac and cheese was very cheesy and included a cheese pull with a slight funk in the aftertaste that makes it very different dish from the standard offering at other places. While I'm not a sauce user I tasted the sweet and the hot sauces. The sweet was very sweet and the hot definitely hit with a sting I normally avoid but I'm sure would be welcome to the well initiated.

    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.
