A couple of weeks ago, we ordered three Oklahoma Samplers online, and I was honestly blown away by…read morehow good everything was. The brisket and pulled pork were some of the best I've had, and the portions felt like a really good value. Because the brisket and pulled pork were so good, I went back last night as a birthday treat and ordered the 2-meat platter with just those meats. Unfortunately, it was a totally different experience. The brisket was overcooked and dry, and the pulled pork was mostly small, dry chunks of bark instead of the juicy, tender pork I had the first time. On top of that, the portions were about the same size as what came in the sampler, which was disappointing considering you get 5 meats with the platter. I really wanted this visit to be just as good as the first because that first meal set the bar so high. They were pretty busy so maybe that impacted the quality of meat I got, but I was pretty bummed out, especially at these prices. I'd be willing to give them a third chance someday, but for now I'll probably be checking out a different BBQ spot.

I wasn't really that hungry but my toddler insisted on the beef rib, so we got it! Boy was I…read moresurprised when they say one beef rib, they mean one gigantic Dino rib! My toddler obviously didn't finish it and even though I wasn't hungry, the meat was so tender and packed with a lot of flavor that I couldn't help but nibble it until we were finished. Great customer service and cute little patio to enjoy with the kiddos. We were able to grab the jenga and play together while waiting for our meals which came out really fast especially with how busy they were. Will definitely come back to try other things on their menu!

Our friend loved this place and took us here. This one is located in downtown Celina, and the…read morerestaurant was packed so we had to take to-go. We ordered a lot but the food came out relatively quick. We got some Brisket, Turkey Breast, Original and Jalapeño Sausages, with the sides being Fries, Fried Okra, and Mac N Cheese. The brisket was the star of the show, it was so tender, juicy, and falling apart. The Jalapeño sausage was also good, it was better than just the regular sausage. However, all the sides were okay, they weren't that good compared to other smokehouses. The mac n cheese was alright, you need to put on so much BBQ sauce to make it taste better. All of this costed $200+, so pretty average price since we had a big group. Personally, I had better BBQ elsewhere so I would not come back.

I enjoyed the two meat plate (chopped brisket & pulled pork,) with upgrades on a wedge salad and baked potato. I was stuffed. Had to take some home. $40 for the meal and well worth it.

The mac and cheese looks, feels, and tastes suspiciously like a store-bought box kit. Low to no cheese flavor. The pinto beans are unflavored and just kind of plain.

I was craving good Oklahoma Barbecue and Allisa's Kitchen was the perfect destination. The restaurant easily accommodated our party of nine -- even with two toddlers. My Brisket was exactly what I thought OK Barbecue was advertised to be; tender, great smoke flavor, and moist, with the visible sign that it was successfully smoked with the pink-colored ring indicating the meat was cooked "slow and low". Just writing this review makes my mouth water for more!
