Mashed potatoes,  okra, brisket and burnt ends
Meryl N.

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.

Three meat dinner: ribs, brisket and burnt ends.
Jason B.

I'm a sucker for really good, authentic barbecue, which on the West Coast can be hard to find. So when I ventured east to OKC, I had to get out and find some. And BOY...did I strike gold! King's might not look like much from the outside, but don't be fooled. The Yelp! reviews say it all. This place is a gem. From the moment I glanced over the menu and started chatting up the lady taking our order, I knew this would be good. I ordered the three meat dinner, which included your choice of meats, two sides, and Texas toast for a mere $20. I went with sliced brisket, burnt ends, ribs, french fries, and the baked beans. And I was NOT disappointed! The burnt ends were absolutely delicious, and fork tender. The brisket was "zero tug" pull-apart, and again, simply perfect. And the ribs...I thought I knew how to do ribs at home...these were next level, fell clean off the bone without being mushy, and were smoky and seasoned perfectly. The texas toast was texas toast, and the fries were fries, but seasoned wonderfully. The BEANS, though, were definitely not your normal baked beans. These were definitely a step above, 100% not from a can, and 200% made from an old family recipe from scratch. Guaranteed. Our service was excellent, the place was clean and comfortable, and the best part of all...there was enough left over between myself and my girlfriend to have a full dinner tomorrow! How could you possibly go wrong? The last thing I'll say is I'm glad (in a way) I don't live locally. I'd never eat anywhere else, and you'd have to take me in and out of King's on a forklift!

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

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.

Brisket ribs plate
Shawnna H.

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.

Cool logo and plenty of seating
Jamie S.

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....

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.

Triple meat sandwich. So much food!
Byron H.

Pretty delicious meats, and fairly priced (especially compared to most BBQ places). Miles better than any chain options in OKC, service is decently quick and friendly. Nice open seating and plenty of TV if you care about watching sports or something. Good specials too. Really enjoy this place, and have since they first opened 8 years ago.

2 Meat Dinner
Teah W.

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 .

Couldn't wait to eat.  Sorry.  3 meat plate post dig in.

Kings BBQ - Oklahoma City's Hidden Smoked Treasure I dropped by Kings BBQ in OKC and ordered the 3-meat plate for just $20 -- and let me tell you, it's an absolute barbecue masterpiece. The Meats: * Burnt Ends - These were the crown jewel: rich, tender, smoky, and glazed just right. Each bite melted like beefy butter with a bark that packed deep flavor and just the right amount of char. * Ribs - Classic dry rub style, perfectly seasoned and smoked to perfection. They had a satisfying pull from the bone -- not mushy, not tough -- just that ideal bite. The crust had a smoky-sweet-peppery kick that lingered just enough. * Sliced Brisket - Juicy, with a thick smoke ring and that beautiful, peppery bark. Whether dipped in sauce or eaten straight, the brisket held its own -- tender with rich, rendered fat and unmistakable smoke flavor. The Sides & Extras: * Coleslaw - Crisp and creamy, with just the right amount of tang. I added a generous crack of black pepper on top, which really lit it up and brought the whole bite into perfect balance. * Fried Okra - Hot, crunchy, and golden brown. The batter was well-seasoned, not greasy, and each piece was bite-sized perfection. * Texas Toast - Thick, buttery, and toasted just enough to have a little crunch on the outside and softness on the inside -- ideal for mopping up leftover brisket juice and sauce. The Vibe: I brought my own cribbage board to the table -- and it just made the whole experience even better. Great food, great place to relax. Kings BBQ serves you right and lets you settle in. Verdict: 10/10. This is how BBQ is supposed to be. Big portions, fair price, and flavors that don't hold back. If you're anywhere near Oklahoma City, Kings BBQ isn't just worth a visit -- it's a damn destination.

Brisket ,Sausage Potato salad and fried Okra all amazing!!!

I just returned here after years since Parlor is outside of burger-driving-range from my house…read more The menu had changed a lot with plenty of new additions, which is awesome, but I was worried that the core burgers may have changed too. While some of the wording was different, I was able to order the exact same burger I fell in love with years ago and the flavor instantly sent me back to the first time I tried it. I ordered the MOB XL Burger Basket with Jalapenos, avocado, and loaded fries. The jalapenos here aren't just regular jalapenos. They are flavor country (also very hot). If you like spicy food, these are the best burger jalapenos in the city imo. My gf ordered the regular single with jalapenos and was annihilated by the spice. She's kind of a wimp when it comes to spice but she trucked through it because the flavors are so good. Long story short, this is still my fav burger in OKC (by a long shot). The fact that this place isn't always highly-rated in a state where people worship Whataburger and Braum's borders on absurdity. MOB is similar to Tucker's but better in every way. It absolutely annihilates S&B and the Garage in flavor. The only possible downside is if you want a tame burger, then sure this isn't the place for you. But if you are big into flavor, this place will take care of you better than your mama. Now that they have delivery options to my house, I will definitely experiment with the other menu items. Thanks Marco!

The layout is well thought out, with a convenient entrance for to-go orders and seating available while you wait. As you walk in, you're greeted by a long entryway lined with their awards, and it's clear they take pride in what they've accomplished. The staff is friendly and attentive, and the experience stood out even more when the manager personally stepped in to seat us instead of making us wait. That level of involvement says a lot about how they run things. The food was amazing! The burger I really liked, it was cooked just as I asked and had a good smoke flavor even if it wasn't cooked on a wood fire grill but a flat top. The brisket was great, the fries and I have to say I didn't hate anything. I absolutely loved everything. Even the strawberry lemonade was delicious. I liked the sweet competition sauce but their original kc sauce was just right with its peppery sweet taste. The restaurant is clean, well-lit, and gives you a clear view of the food you're about to enjoy. Overall, it's a welcoming spot with great energy and attention to detail. Definitely recommend.

I actually heard about it while doing what I do best: eavesdropping. As in, eavesdropping on another traveler in the same rental car line as I was, asking the attendant who had the best BBQ in town. I instantly saved Clark Crew on Yelp and found time to head over the next day! Their menu was so extensive, I had to enjoy half of my frosty pint of beer while I decided on a combo plate. Folks, this thing was immense - a heaping pile of meat, sides, and their legendary pickles. (Don't forget to ask for the pickles!) To be honest, it was too much. I could barely get through half of it before sheepishly requesting a to go box so I could wolf down the rest later at my hotel. And yes, the BBQ was delicious. A great combo of smoky, smooth, and rich. If I hadn't been carry-on only, I would have grabbed a couple of bottles of their sauce to take home. The service here was over-the-top amazing, too. I wish I remembered my server's name, but I remember that she was awesome. And also excited to hear that I'd never been to OKC before!

Friendly service, and food was hot. No wait, order and sit or go. As far as bbq standard, there are many across the country. Pitmasters display their skill. This place blow sims bbq out of the water. They use actually smokers and know what they are doing. I would be willing to put them just under Lewis BBQ in SC and Hutchins in Texas. 8.5 out of 10. Bark was consistent, I would have liked to taste the flavor deeper into the meat, but with brisket it is a hit or miss. Great burnt pork ends, and their sides are well made.

During a morning meeting today, my coworker stated that there is no good bbq in OKC. . . I had to prove him wrong. Arriving 30 min after opening, the line was packed. Hunger and anticipation was building. Went full out and got the Texas Trinity Platter. Pound of brisket, pound of ribs, 2 sausages, 2 sides, 2 hungry stomaches. A beautiful red sheen of a slight glaze on the ribs with flecks of black pepper that I could look at all day honestly. A sweet glaze that I was definitely the best rib I've had this trip. Not overpowering and chew of smoke with each bite. Such a wonderful brisket too. Spots like these always make me double take if I'm not in Texas. A wonderful pitch black bark absorbs all the smoke. A little bit on the saltier side on the initial bite, but balanced once the beef fat started flowing from between the meats. When I dived up the leftovers, I took ALL the slices from the flat. Such a meaty and beefy flat that was still juicy. So much so that I wasnt sure if it was the brisket or my drool. Between bites, I couldn't get enough of those pickles. Wonderfully vinegary and refreshing. I forgot to try the pickled onions because the cucumbers were sooooo good. I loved the flavors of the cheddar jalapeño sausage and the hot gut. The was a little bit more of a bite on the casing but tasted amazing. I'm literally sitting in my hotel right now eating it while typing this.
