Great inexpensive breakfast! Had biscuits and gravy with a couple eggs. Service can be spotty

Friday Feb 27th, 2026, 8'ish PM. Food was pretty good, about the same as always, but about the time our food was due a young man with a hound dog came in and hung out in the waiting area about 3 tables from our table. The hostess and 2-3 waitresses went over and spent about 20 minutes petting the dog and visiting with this young man. I think he was there to see his girlfriend, who I believe was the hostess. When he left with the dog, I didn't see any of the employees wash their hands. All of the employees were very young girls. Maybe this is okay with other people, but it's not okay with me. I have a huge problem with this, and unless it is addressed here, I won't be back. New ownership has clearly taken their eye off of customer service. The previous owner would have flipped her lid if something like that happened. I don't know who this kid is, and I don't know why his female friend thought it was okay for a dog to be hanging out in the waiting area, but it isn't okay. They need to tighten up the ship if they want me to be back. I've been coming here almost every Friday for almost 20 years, back to when they were in the old location. Unless I get a response from ownership here that this has been addressed, I won't be back. Before you start, it wasn't a service dog. It was a hound that he was holding in his arms. Looked like a beagle. He came back later without the dog to visit with the hostess some more. This isn't okay, and it needs to be addressed. read more

We've been going to KT's since they were at their old spot. They have a very good, small salad bar, in my opinion, that also has soup with it. The hot rolls with the cinnamon butter are always great; we order a couple of dozen to serve at the holidays. The service is always great. When you walk in, they greet you with a welcoming smile and a friendly hello, and it carries through until you leave. The food is always good, hot, and fresh. Prices are reasonable, and portions are a good size. This is a very good place to eat. read more

Food service ambiance. Just what our family needed is a place like this to bring others too!

Heard good things about this place. It's in my town so had to eventually check it out. Had the rib dinner with a salad bar and baked potato. Salad bar was small but had the basics including chopped egg which is always a great topping. Had a side of beans that were tasty. Brought out a roll with honey butter which was probably the highlight of the meal. The ribs were tinder and had plenty of meat. I preferred the hot barbecue sauce over the regular. Staff very nice. I will come again and bring my father in law. read more

We live close by and this has always been a go to place for a good meal. They recently started serving breakfast on Saturday mornings so we decided to give it a try. Eggs and hash browns were pretty good. My wife ordered pancakes. When the server brought the pancakes she asked if she wanted syrup? I didn't know you could eat pancakes without syrup. Anyway she brought the syrup later and it was cold, barely able to get any out of the bottle. My wife the trooper she is started eating her pancakes with cold syrup and she said they tasted funny. I took a bite and told her it tasted like sugar free syrup. Anyway this is usually a good place to eat and I hope they figure out what people really want for breakfast. read more

The food was good. The service was good. The ambiance was similar to Del Rancho, kind of farmhouse feel. There was a short wait on a Friday night. For the location, everything was as expected. read more

Enjoyed the food, service was really good and staff was nice and friendly have eaten here a few time bbq ribs are good too.

The service was great! I had ribs and I didn't think they were the best. They tasted good but they were just tough. The pie was delicious and the kids loved the mac and cheese. A great family place. read more

Great barbecue! Brisket and pulled pork are stellar. Sometimes they have smoked turkey, which is wonderful. Staff are always super friendly and helpful. Pro tip, they have gumbo and a crawfish etouffee sometimes in their freezer that are awesome! read more

We passed this place on our way to a volleyball match and decided to give it a try on the way back. Glad we did. The staff was friendly and our server was awesome! The pork fries were delicious with tender pulled pork and cheese. The rib dinner was a little dry and tough but had some good flavor. Also tried the hamburger steak which was smothered in grilled onions, mushrooms, and brown gravy. Good choice! They give you dinner rolls and have a small salad bar you can have as a side. If you want to get out of the city, I definitely recommend stopping here. read more

Okay-Okay!!!! I read the reviews before I went because my pops was determined to give me a catfish experience. The reviews were sad and so I entered with low expectations, but was pleasantly surprised. The dinner rolls came promptly and were a delicious treat. They tasted freshly baked and came with a cinnamon butter that was yummy. The salad bar was good and included soup. One trip is $5.99. Thats a bargain~ even if there were no onions, as one disappointed review mentioned. The variety was good and it all tasted great. The lettuce was crisp, the pickled okra and beets were satisfying, the cole slaw on the salad bar was creamy, pasta salad was tangy and light. There was ham, cheese, bacon, croutons, olives and many salad dressing to pick. Next- the meals. The food came promptly and was hot hot hot. I wan't quick enough to snap a picture of dad's food. He was already trying to catch his fall off the bone rib meat. The bbq drip and grease on his cheek says he approved. I had the two large fillet catfish w/ one side and salad bar that was $10.99. It was cornmeal batter, crispy and tender at the same time. The tarter was good too. I lived all the dill. Momma had the chopped beef sammy with fried potatoes. She said it was really good and that taters were super yum w/ fried onions and peppers mixed in. This isn't fine dining- but it's mighty phine! read more

The catfish here is super delicious! My meal ($12.99) came with two gigantic meaty catfish filets which were cooked perfectly, a generous helping of particularly good fried okra, probably the best tartar sauce ever, a trip to the salad bar, and endless dinner rolls accompanied with a cinnamon butter. The batter is delicate and exhibits the quality and flavor of the catfish really well while keeping the fish juicy. We also tried a piece of homemade coconut pie and give it two thumbs up. If there's a better value, I'd love to know about it--it's worth going out of the way for. Great service too! The place was packed out on a Friday night and the food came out fast. read more

Great service. Had the K.C Smokehouse BBQ sandwich with polish sausage and skillet fried potatoes. Both were excellent. The bbq park was moist with good smoke flavor. Meal comes with fresh baked rolls and cinnamon butter. Save room for the fried press for dessert. read more

We go here almost every Saturday because I know the food quality is the same every time and the free endless rolls are bomb. The rolls are huge fluffy buttery bits of heaven. Way better than Texas Roadhouse no contest. The dishes are SO CHEAP even for dinner. It's around $7-11 for a meal with a meat and TWO sides. And they are very generous on portions. They offer you the option to get a side and salad bar or just two sides and either way is plenty of food. The salad bar is pretty good; they always have pasta salad and a daily fresh soup included. I usually get two orders of fries, though, because their fries are perfection. I never have leftovers only because it's so good. I normally get the grilled shrimp and it's bomb. Soooooo good. I've had a couple of their different soup flavors and I have liked all of them. The only thing I would have a complaint about is the service isn't always great. It's usually good, but I don't think I've ever had the same server twice, so idk what that says about having so much turnover. But, there's never a wait for lunch and the inside is pretty spacious. We love this place. read more

They have decent ribs and chopped bbq beef and they are little cheaper than most other bbq places. The mashed potatoes and gravy are just the average instant potatoes and gravy from a packaged mix. The bbq baked beans were too tangy for me. The fried okra was crisp and delicious but the cole slaw could have used more dressing in it; it was kind of plain. The bacon cheeseburger was ok, a little on the dry side but at least it was cooked thoroughly. I thought they served breakfast food any time but when I ordered biscuits and gravy they said they didn't have any breakfast food. The smoked sausage tasted like it was just cooked in water and not smoked so I will probably just buy a couple pounds of the chopped bbq beef the next time and try to get there early enough so I can get some fried pies! If you order to go, expect to wait 10-15 minutes once you get there. I don't know what takes so long, especially when you show up 5 0r 10 minutes after they said it would be ready, but there is always a wait to get your food. read more

KT's Smokehouse - Bbq beef baked potatoe awesome an nice price - Smokehouse Near Me - Newcastle, Oklahoma

I'm from Newcastle and had driven by several times with anticipation to try this smokehouse. I ordered TO-GO a pulled pork sandwich w/ beans, KT's club w/ fries, and a kids chicken strip with fries+cheese. The bbq sandwich and beans were acceptable-- a little pepper heavy, but good texture and good extra bbq sauce. The club sandwich had crispy bacon and plenty of meat, but the bread was soggy. The chicken strips are NOT homemade (bought frozen then fried). THE FRENCH FRIES WERE PATHETIC -- soggy, limp, and the cheese added for an up charge didn't cover any single fry. Aside from the food, the cashier clerk was not fit for the task of assisting customers (may be new?). Perhaps I ordered the wrong items; and perhaps the food is meant to be eaten immediately as it is unable to hold up through a 10 min car ride. I would not suggest this restaurant to my family or friends for quality food. read more

First salad bar I ever saw that didn't have onions, other than that it's just like Mazzio's salad bar. I had the bbq beef dinner which is chopped up roast with bbq sauce on it, it wasn't very good and came out luke warm. The restaurant is clean and the service is good. If someone else is buying I might go back and try something else on the menu. read more

No no no. I have given this restaurant three tries. At this point I refuse to give it another chance. The service and restaurant itself, is fine. But the food is horrible. I ordered a hot link with fries, since I was at a loss of what else to try. It was terrible. It was bland, and tasted like the cheapest link you can find in the frozen aisle at Walmart. My in laws came with me as well, they where also unimpressed. My husband ordered a steak, and he couldn't finish it. The only good thing was a the halfway decent salad bar. They also had soup, I couldn't bring myself to finish that either. I always hear raving reviews, but I jus can't figure out why. I won't be coming back and I suggest that others don't even try. Food was very bland and tasted like they where heated up in the microwave. read more

I can speak only to what I have tried. That being said, the ribs are pretty good, but a little tough sometimes. The fried okra is good, but anything fried is generally delicious. The mashed potatoes and gravy were a mixed bag. The potatoes weren't great, but the gravy was pretty good. The green beans were good as well. Now for the negatives... The sliced brisket, when I tried it, was essentially a broiled round roast that had little flavor. It was like they took it out of the freezer and tossed it in the oven with no prep at all. I have ordered the pork sandwich a couple of times, the second time because I forgot my first experience, and found it lacking. I had expected something along the lines of pulled pork, since they mentioned that it was slow-cooked on the menu, but it was little pieces of pork seared in a pan and covered with bbq sauce. Pretty far from slow-cooked... read more

Always super friendly staff, catfish that's nearly impossible to beat, always tasty rolls and a great small salad bar. Oh and excellent sweet tea and desserts also. read more

Some of the best catfish you can get. The only negative thing I could say is that there is no cell service in the building.

We ordered ribs tonight and they were terrible! They had way to much smoke (like liquid smoke) and it seems like they are smoking them with different wood. They use to have good ribs but NOT TONIGHT! Won't buy them again. read more

My family has been to KT's several times. We have tried the bbq, hamburgers, breakfast, catfish and the fried pies. The catfish is the best!! With that said, I haven't had anything that wasn't good! The fried pie is delicious! read more

I went in to place a to-go order. I waited while three other groups (who came in behind me) were seated. When someone finally asked if I was with one of them, I said no and told her I needed to place a to-go order. She left and started serving other tables without a word. I stood there at least 10 minutes with no one helping me or even saying another word to me before finally giving up and walking out. I have enjoyed to-go food from KT's before and was looking forward to more, but never have I been ignored so thoroughly. read more

We lived in Newcastle for about three years before we finally visited KT's. So glad that we finally did. The catfish is delicious. The ribs are tasty as well. The service is always outstanding. I'm making myself hungry thinking about it. I may have to go there tonight. read more

The ribs were great, falling off the bone. Coleslaw fantastic. Okra was good and crispy just the way I like it. Catfish and polish sausage were very good too. What made this meal enjoyable though was the atmosphere and our server. It looked like everyone there knew each other and were happy to see one another. Everyone was talking and laughing and engaging in conversation. I only saw one person with their phone out. This was a true family meal environment. Very refreshing. The server was friendly and made suggestions- also refreshing. I'll definitely be back. read more

Great food, great service...you get that "welcome to our home" kind of feeling and treatment. My favorites are the ribs, thet fall off the bone. The sirloin steak is spot on, I like mine well done its still juicy and not boot leather tough! You will leave here full, and it wont break the bank read more

I got sick almost instantly after eating there. I will never be going back there. Food was just okay, I make better bbq at home than that.

Great food and the people are awesome! Don't forget to save room for the homemade desserts! We will definitely go back.

I am a repeat customer at Kts. I often take out of town guests there. We always get excellent service and the food is always delicious.

This restaurant is fine, the service was always good, the food not so much. The salad bar is plain and bland, the food is okay, similar to the quality you get at a western sizzlin. read more

Our family eats at KT's fairly often. We love their burgers and sandwiches, and of course their BBQ is delicious as well.

Good food. I had the catfish, very large piece that was seasoned well & cooked perfectly, the fried potatoes are very good, salad bar is decent & fresh (I am picky in this department), soup on the salad bar was really good! My husband has loved what he ordered as well. We have been twice, both times the food & service were good. I did notice a guy picking up a to-go order waiting a long time, I'd eat there vs ordering to-go read more
