    My meal, two meat combo
    Sacha B.

    Came here with my boy for lunch. We wanted BBQ and Big Os was closed for some reason so this was the next pick for us. The ribs came off the bones like it should but the brisket was mid is tenderness and flavor. Over all the food was pretty good along with the serving size. I will be back if I'm in the area for BBQ. Earls has been around for some time now and is consistence over the last 30 years or so.

    RIB DINNER

    Ordered ribs with a side of okra and baked beans. The ribs and Texas toast were old. The best thing on the plate was the okra because it was hot and fresh but over salted. I would not order from here again.

    Rib from two meet combo. We tried them all, they were old and tough.

    We love our BBQ! We seek out the best BBQ places in the country when we travel and have had BBQ in Austin, KC, Memphis and North Carolina. Oklahoma is our home and for years Earls has been our go to for BBQ mainly for convenience but it had been consistently good. But the last 3-4 times we have picked up take out, it has not been good. This last time will be the last time. My husband got the two meat combo with sliced brisket and ribs. The brisket was dry. The ribs tasted old and reheated and were very tough. The toast was old, cold and hard. The only positive about our meal was the okra! Overall very disappointing!

    Lovely southern hospitality! Interesting wall decorations with license plates from different states plastered all over the walls (with the one from Texas being upside-down). Awesome quality cups including watercups and folded silverware in napkins stacked neatly at the cashier's counter. Salad was great! Chicken was a bit dry but I'd definitely revisit and try some of their BBQ!

    Was in the area for work and mentioned I wanted some BBQ. After colleagues discussed, Earl's was determined to be the best. Deviled eggs were good but not my grandmothers. Mac and cheese was good but left me wanting more from the cheese sauce. The sandwich however was the most amazing BBQ sandwich I've had in recent times. The Smokestack was delicious. Everyone else's food look delicious as well and it definitely got quieter for a while. When I return I'll try different sides but get the smokestack again.

    This is one of our favorite BBQ places in the area. We love the ribs and the spicy sausage links especially. The links are my husband's favorite. Their curly fries are also delicious. However, they were not as tasty and fresh tonight as they usually are. Service is not the best. I dont think the girl serving us tonight knew whe was at work instead of hanging out lol. She sat down at our table while taking our order (doesnt bother me too much but funny, others might be a lot more put off by that). We ordered one of the big platters and split it and we always have it divided on separate plates. She came out with it on one plate and apologized (did not offer to have it split up) and told us it was because of how busy she was. She also forgot the ranch we ordered with it (no biggie on that though because she went and got it right away when we asked for it again). The most awkward thing was that she brought our check out with our food and told us how she needed to leave soon to hang out with her friend since it is Friday the 13th. It's like 7pm and she's wanting to leave already? That's prime time for a server. We started eating and in 5 minutes she printed out our check again and brought it back. Haha she was really ready for us to leave or super forgetful lol. Honestly, the whole experience was super weird and horrible service but the girl looked like a teenager and she was cute about everything so it smoothed over okay. If it had been someone that was less cute and friendly it wouldn't have gone over so well. I would recommend a little coaching on service. I think we will order to-go next time.

    Food was good as was the service. We tried some different items. Wish we had saved room for the cobbler.

    My favorite restaurant of the year!…read more 5 stars all the way, from the food, presentation, service, staff, decor, and vibe it was all perfect.

The appetizer we order based on the waiter suggestion was a sloppy culinary mess, not one person in this group of 6 could eat it. With much delay again, we placed our orders, the salad I order came incorrectly, I orders and spinach salad and received a caesar salad; they forgot the salad my friend ordered until after the main course came and she had to remind the waiter who had not placed that order at all. My husband had to wait 20 minutes for an ice tea refill, my friend was not able to place order for a 2nd beer for about the same time because the waiter would just not come back to check on our table. The caesar salad I ended up eating did taste good, the pizza was decent. The waiter did take the dips off our checks because we sent it back, so I appreciated his responsibility with this. It was a very disappointing experience, 2 of our friends drove from Norman to meet us here and we are not able to see each other often. The ambiance was also very loud and hard to have a conversation without speaking very loud. I do not recommend and will not go back to this restaurant.

This seemed like a very popular place, especially with families. It was loud inside, but we were able to get a seat pretty quickly.

This is a great spot for families with kids or without kids.

I like it because the food is always spot on,…read moreconsistently delicious-especially that delicious potato bun-each visit and you can be in-and-out or chill and watch the Thunder game-they have several tvs-both inside and out. Dinner for two won't break the bank, so when we don't want to spend a lot, but still want yummy food, usually we head to Spark. I haven't had a dud here yet. My latest favorites are the Smashie with an order of queso fries for sharing. Get additional dipping sauces for the queso fries-their ranch, Spark sauce, mustard, and ketchup are excellent additions-yes, all of them, it's a whole sheet pan of fries. For my dining partner who's less enthusiastic about burgers, Spark knocks it out of the park here too. The Park Power Bowl or a Burger Bowl are delicious-both in the rotation. For me, they are very flavorful-consistently tasty, but lack that yummy potato burger bun, I guess that's the point of the bowl. Team Spark is great, they always greet us and wish us well when leaving which makes us want to come back. I can't count how many times we visited here in 2025--too many to count. I don't really do too much chain fast food, so for a fast casual affordable restaurant burger, Spark Chisholm Creek is my go-to spot. I'm sure it won't be too long before I have my first 2026 Spark burger and I'm excited. January 2026

Gage, our waiter was very professional and helpful. He guided us through the menu and helped us make good choices. We started with three mule cocktails. We had the Oaxacan, the Moscow and Kentucky Mules. Everyone enjoyed the cocktails. One thing that stood out to me for my Oaxacan Mule is that the Mezcal's smoky flavor really shown through and it was not overly sweet. A very clean cocktail, which I highly appreciate! We ordered the Chef's Salad Wrap with Onion Rings, French Dip with the tomato soup, and the Philly Cheesesteak sandwich with seasonal side of grits. I enjoyed the Chef's Salad Wrap but I would probably be a little more bold next time and get the Cortez or the Reuben. I craved a lighter choice and was more sinful with the over the top delicious onion rings! Wowowow! Hubby enjoyed his soup and French dip and son enjoy his Philly cheesesteak and grits. I would definitely love to revisit and try more of their items.
