    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 is great, people are nice, but I don't enjoy loud Led Zeppelin music with my dinner. Probably a deal breaker for me.

    We took our son in law to this restaurant in downtown Edmond. The moment we walked in, the hostess…read moregreeted us warmly and sat us immediately. 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.

    Why? The burgers. Unfortunately they did not seem to be fresh, seasoned well or made in house and…read morewere undersized for the buns. The bacon and cheeses seem to do the heavy flavor lifting but wasn't quite enough. The rest of the entrees were fine (cheesesteak & caprese sandwiches, the spinach salad). It is a great location, the service and drinks from the bar were good.

We watched people sing happy birthday w a giant slice of strawberry shortcake. Great portions! We ordered the judges plate and added the burnt ends along w a small side of sweet cream corn. The food! Cornbread was on point! Not grainy, overly sweet, or dry! Soft, not bitter. Champion beans are delicious, smoky, seasoned just right. Mac & cheese!!! OMG! It's just right!! Creamy, full flavor, and not bitter. Sweet cream corn, I mean, you should try it, ask for a small sample so you can decide! Burnt ends!!!! You cannot leave this place w/o trying them. We added it for an additional $4 and it was worth it! The brisket had a nice smoke ring, full of flavor. Soft and not dry at all! Juicy. The chicken fell off the bone. Tender. Well seasoned. The pull pork was perhaps my favorite. On its own it was delicious but adding some of the world champion sauce and the spicy sauce together just took it there!! Hands down, glad we made that turn and drove the extra 10m to this place on our way to California.

    This is pretty good barbecue in Oklahoma City. We were seated and served by the sweetest waitress…read moreand I think she and our little almost two-year old grandson had a great time entertaining each other. Honestly the sliced brisket left a lot to be desired and I do not think that it is the same product as the burnt ends. I am wondering if the burnt ends were from prime brisket and maybe the sliced brisket is from a lesser quality beef. That would make sense because the brisket burnt ends were absolutely divine and had lots of crispy bark that I just love. I was not really impressed by the bologna burnt ends and the mustard sauce. The bologna burnt ends lacked smokiness for me and I just did not enjoy the taste of the mustard (I normally love all mustards). So, let me tell you about the fried okra. I could eat a whole pound of that.....with ranch dressing of course. The finest fried okra!!!!!! We also loved the homemade pickles. I will always order homemade pickles if the option is available. These were great and we sure enjoyed the leftover bites! I would like to leave a little review that I think my little grandson would have left if he could type, use a computer and know all of his words. "I was really fond of the bbq beef but the standouts to me would have to be the mac n cheese and the championship bbq beans. In fact, I loved the bbq beans so much and got so excited that I put my forehead in the beans that my mommy put on my little child's placemat. After that all of the exursions of eating my food, playing with my food, flirting with our waitress and showing off my baby blues; I started yawning. I am not sure if it was the meat fatigue or the carb coma. Mommy and Daddy thought it was time to leave at that point and I agreed to cooperate as my bbq bean juice dyed hair was getting pretty sticky." I would definitely come in again and maybe try some other items. I would definitely get the prime brisket burnt ends again. Oh yes, AND THE OKRA and whatever my grandson wants, of course!
