    7/26 ribs, brisket, mashed potatoes, and green beans
    Teaira J.

    It has been awhile since I've been to King's but was happy to see that they are still open. Inside was pretty smoky and there was no way you could leave the restaurant without smelling like smoked meats which is not ideal in my opinion. However, theybdo have some amazing smoked meats! I could do without the sides though .

    3 Meat Dinner
    Nigel P.

    I've lived here for 13 years and realized I never tried "Oklahoma BBQ." After some Google searching and looking at about 10 options, I chose King's BBQ due to their mom & pop vibes and great reviews. We tried most of the meats as I got the 5 meat, my dad got the 3 meat, and my gf got the ham. We were all very impressed and are likely to return. My only minor complaint is that burnt ends were sold out by the middle of dinner. We didn't come that late or anything. The 3 and 5 meat plates are kind of hard to fill out without duplicates and without burnt ends. So it would be nice to either have more burnt ends or allow duplicates on the large meat plates. But I get why that may not happen. I had to fill my 5 meat plate with various sausage which were good but hard to eat a lot of due to how rich they are. Of course, the 5 meat plate was ridiculous to begin with so that's on me, lol. I thought the portions would be smaller, but I appreciate the generous sizing. All in all, we had a good experience.

    Mashed potatoes,  okra, brisket and burnt ends

    The moment a fatty smoky chunk of burnt brisket ends touched my tongue I felt present and connected. I began to savor the flavor texture and focus mindfully in the experinece that is truly great barbecue. I don't often get barbecue unless it's a special occasion but I wanted something gooooood this weekend. Like make me feel elevated without chemicals good and that's Kings. Burnt ends are fatty and smoky in the best way. If you want something truly good, something that makes you feel special, cared for and well fed this is it. This meat falls apart and let's you saver it. Much like the still moist and tender but less fatty sliced brisket. The sliced brisket was very good also and a bit more lean if that's your thing. Still the most tender brisket in the city. The ribs oh mama, these are some fall off the bone make you forget about desert savor every bite ribs. Tender yet chewy and so tasty. The Mac and cheese is simple. Has al dente noodles and a nice homemade type cheesy flavor. Complements the meat well. The mashed potatoes are good. Flavorful, creamy and savory. The okra is the best fried okra I've had in a long time. Batter is slightly sweet and the crunch is satisfying . The bbq sauce was alright. I tried it but did not use it. It is not needed. They provide a 2oz cup with the meal and thay was nice. Not needed but nice. I will tell you with all honesty that none of the chain places including rib crib, swadlys, earls, Billy Sims or any of those other joke places come close to food this good. Kings has most melt in your mouth meat that is flavorful and let's you know what real barbecue is. Don't sleep on this, get it now. Service is also very good, staff kind and wonderful to speak to. Inside is clean and modern and a great place to spend dinner chowing down.

    I'm generally low key on BBQ spots, most over promise and underperform. The Brisket was on point the, burnt ends hit the spot, taste and seasoning for both was amazing. The coleslaw was great for me it was perfect, the potato salad was good. My wife and I got the same meals, with different sides, she got a loaded baked potato and green beans, she enjoyed it all the green beans were fire.. overall I'd give Kings an 8/10, friendly staff, low key spot to get a meal. Next time it's the brisket street tacos for me..

    We really enjoyed their bbq. My husband loved the ribs and I enjoyed the smoked turkey. I think the sides were the highlight. My Mac and cheese was seasoned well and was really good! The baked beans were the star of the show and I would highly recommend them. We really wanted to try the burnt ends but they have a daily limited supply so we missed out. We will try again!

    Reviews got me here to try it out and it did not disappoint. My granddaughter and I finished this plate over 2 days, it was a hearty helping for 1 person. (This 2 meat plate was less than $22. that's a great value) The meats were very tender and the spicy bbq sauce was good. The Mac and cheese was not my favorite but my granddaughter loved it. Green beans were seasoned nicely. They were very busy when I walked in but they moved the line quickly. I'd revisit again.

    Chopped brisket sandwich with sides of mac 'n cheese and okra.
    Debra K.

    Hole in the wall at its best. Went for lunch on a Friday. The parking lot was packed but we were able to get a table no problem. The first thing you will notice after getting out of your car is the smell--that aroma of great bbq. It will lead you to their door. The inside is clean and aromatic (in a good way with that great scent of smoked meats!)!!!! I tried the chopped brisket sandwich with a side of okra and mac 'n cheese. I loved the okra and it had a slightly sweet taste which was random but good. The mac 'n cheese was ok (better than average, just not the best I've ever had). I would try some other sides next time. If their other meats are anything like that brisket, I would not hesitate in trying them all. I am pretty intrigued by the jalapeno-cheese sausage. There's a lot to choose from.

    Cool logo and plenty of seating

    This BBQ spot is a gem that I'm so happy I found! It's close to a work meeting spot for me, and service is so good and so fast that it's perfect for lunch in the work week! It's a cool little spot with nice murals painted inside of the city sky line. But the food! Oh my gosh, these were the best ribs I've had in all of Oklahoma. I definitely should have only got the 2 rib platter instead of 4 because they are huge and amazing! I loved the mashed potatoes and gravy and classic fried okra. Big portions! Very reasonable prices for this quality of meat. I loved everything about King's. I will absolutely be back.

    Chopped Brisket,  corn nuggets, bbq beans
    Carolyn P.

    BBQ and Love the dining area. Girls were keeping it wiped down and clean. We ordered Brisket sandwich with corn nuggets and baked beans. Sliced brisket sandwich with Coleslaw and potato salad. All pretty good except, baked beans. They were not really baked, just really sweet and runny. Sweet Tea was watery. We wanted to give it a try, since we are watching "Only in Ok show". Homeless parked basket and came inside for restroom....

    Michelle B.

    First time trying Kings BBQ, I never go on this side of town so it was a nice surprise. Decided to try the rib family meal which honestly for $40 was a lot of food! Quality was great, beans weren't too sweet and potato salad tasted like my aunt was in the back! Definitely glad I found this place.

    2 Meat Dinner

    This is my second time here came on a Saturday around 4 it wasn't too packed or loud . I got the 2 meat dinner burnt ends and chopped brisket with corn on the cob and baked beans. I really liked that I got two corn on the cob you do have to butter it yourself. I had no issues with the food at all it was so good. They have the choice of mild or spicy bbq sauce at the table and the cashiers were super nice .

    King's Feast...we shared and took leftovers home.

    I originally left a mixed review for this spot, because nothing about what they called a "patty…read moremelt" actually tasted like one. Instead, it was a massive amount of bread loaded with an overwhelming heap of mustard--though even that wasn't as overpowering as the heavy grease and grill-funk aftertaste it left behind. I ended up throwing away the basket meal with more than half left. Luckily, the owner replied to my review to educate me that my perceived 1/3-pound patty was actually a 6-ounce patty. Clearly, I just failed to appreciate the massive 0.6-ounce difference in those measurements. Point well taken. Hats off, sir. I'll politely decline your offer to ask for you personally next time (trust me, I won't be back) so you can lecture me on which of your generous 6-ounce burgers I might actually like. Having spent 41 years on this planet navigating the burger wasteland unassisted so far, I'm optimistic I'll get the hang of it. If you could perhaps channel some of that energy into teaching the kids on staff, they could share your passion for aggressively explaining to patrons why they are wrong to call your product overpriced, inedible, and completely devoid of quality. Now that is the real community impact you are going for. I am overwhelmingly positive and forgiving in my reviews, but this is one of the rare exceptions where I dramatically underestimated how low a business's rating should actually go. If you want to pay an exorbitant price for a terrible burger, only to be told it was supposed to taste that bad on purpose, definitely give these guys a go. Thank you for sharing your unique business model with the class, and for giving me the clarity I needed to update this to the solid 1-star you deserved from the get-go!

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!!

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!

Meat was falling off the bones and flavored to perfection. Comes with two sides - I got the above mentioned jalapeño corn bread & greens beans.

Now the sauce - IMO Texas bbq style. Bold, red and perfect balance of sweet & tang. They allow 2 choices so I selected spicy and regular. Both highly recommended. Lastly, I tacked on a side of their green cabbage slaw; it couldn't be skipped. It indeed is green, has a great crunch and not too creamy. Overall - fantastic flavor, quick service & quality ingredients. My brother is a huge fan of ribs so you better believe I texted him pics to bait him into visiting soon. I ordered takeout this time but we'll visit the restaurant when he comes to town!
