Ok, I'll preface this with I KNOW my 'que... I'm a former partner in 3 Guys Smokin', Tulsa original "poster children" for barbecue competitions here. We started in 1987 and founded the Art of BBQ, the former fundraiser for Tulsa's Arts and Humanities Council, as well as the Bixby Blues 'n BBQ competition. Over the years we won MULTITUDES of awards, with our biggest claim that our baked beans took second in the world at the KC Royal. We manufactured and marketed three award-winning sauces and a dry rub. Case made?? Good, keep going please! I accidentally found Luke's a few years back and now I'll drive to Coweta from Tulsa for lunch as it's THAT GOOD!! It's honestly some of the best BBQ I've ever eaten. I went last week for lunch and got my usual, sliced brisket and pulled pork. Both were incredible, but the pork was AMAZING, something that usually doesn't impress me. I can get a butt nice and juicy, but NOTHING like Luke's!!! Not sure if they brine, inject, or what they do?? The meat is soaked with delicious juices and you can tell that it's inside, not just added if that makes sense. The brisket came off the point, which is not what I typically prefer, but it too was incredible. Go early, burnt ends seem to sell out first. Great portions, I always bring home leftovers. I'll TRY not to dive in to my plate and get some pics next time; can't promise tho... read more

The food is excellent, good luck getting any of it. The service, facility, and parking are unacceptable. There is never enough parking, and on my last visit, there were even fights in the lot. Cars squeeze in wherever they can, blocking others from leaving, and creating traffic accidents on th ehwy. Even if you find a spot, you face a line of 40 to 50 people competing for one of just five tables. Even calling in an order does not help, because pickup customers are still forced to wait in line. To make things worse, the owner and employees don't care. read more

The pulled pork, baked beans, fried okra, white bread was AWESOME! Order early before the meat runs out! There's a few small tables if you want to eat inside. read more

We love Luke's so much! Amazing food, great service, the seating area is kinda small but clean. The owners are the kindest most generous people you'll ever meet. Highly recommend!!! read more

Unbelievably good brisket for tacos. No sauce needed because a little pico de gallo and guacamole turn them into paradise in your mouth. We keep two pounds in our freezer as an essential ingredient. We call ahead so we don't miss out (everything sells out quickly) and seating is limited. read more

I read reviews all were good but I have to be honest I went there today got 2 orders of ribs to go $55 I'm not complaining about the price but my sister and I each ate one rib they were so greasy we got sick threw the rest in trash I remember eating there a long time ago same thing forgot that's why I didn't go back for a long time I'm sure other people are happy but I won't go back read more

I have heard a lot about this place and went there yesterday for the first time. Got the 3 meat combo with sliced brisket, ribs, and burnt ends. My sides were the fried okra and the coleslaw. Also had to try the peach fried pie. The peach fried pie stole the show, it was amazing and delicious!! However, my unpopular opinion of this place will probably make some mad. The sliced brisket was okay, I felt was lacking flavor. The ribs had a great flavor, but the outer portion was soft... which I was hoping for it to be more crispy, and the burnt ends were okay... they seemed very tough to me. The fried okra was good, but the coleslaw was really runny. It's a good spot for lunch, but I was a little disappointed after all the hype. Overall the service was great and inviting. Luke's has a small hometown feel to it which is nice. Attached is a meat market that I browsed. The meat looked great and I would probably visit them for the meat. Other than that, I will probably not go back for their bbq, but would get that fried pie again! read more

Sadly, I forgot to take pictures. But that was because I was busy stuffing my face with incredible ribs that needed no bbq sauce, wonderful pulled pork, homemade Mac and cheese, and baked beans. I will be back and I will take pics. Get there early, it's busy and the meat runs out. read more

Come to Tulsa every year for the Chili Bowl. Discovered Luke's last year and it did not disappoint this year. Sliced Brisket was amazing!! The bark so good. Baked beans and okra(which I usually think is just fried celery) were perfect! Small dining room so be prepared to stand while you for a table at lunch. To my huge dismay if you want Burnt ends you have to be there at 11 when they open. Enjoy! read more

Food was top tier and the portions are huge. The large brisket sandwich felt like a workout just picking it up! The brisket was very tender and flavorful. Pie was great and the fries were good but maybe a hair too salty. Also, just as an FYI the seating is pretty limited. read more

Luke's BBQ - Large brisket sandwich. - Barbeque Near Me - Broken Arrow, Oklahoma

Food and service were fantastic, portions were large. If going on Saturday go early or some things will be sold out.

Real solid' The burnt ends were overcooked, little too fatty for my taste. From there, let's swing upward. Jalapeno sausage was very flavorful. Enjoyed the smoky mac & cheese. Fries were simple, but solid. Pickles were the classic thin-sliced but perfect. Now, the heavy hitters. Brisket had a beautiful fat-cap across the top. Not Oakhart brisket, but well above average. The pulled pork was the star on the show. Service was friendly and quick on a Saturday. Prices were fair. If you find yourself in BFE - east side of BA, this is a must stop. read more

Fall off the bone ribs! Awesome flavor! Pulled pork tender and juicy with a little bit of a great tasting crust! It's worth the drive! Hot bbq sauce has just the right heat! Regular sauce is a great compliment although neither is really needed! I'll be back soon! read more

If you looking for a great "hole in the wall" bbq joint, look no further than Luke's BBQ on Highway 51 in BA going towards Coweta! My experience there is always good with the great pulled pork sandwich with fries! Along with a drink, my meal was $17.54! Great meal with a great staff! My review is a great one for Luke and his staff! The sandwich was piled with pulled pork, but my only complaint (and it's a minor one), the fries were a little too seasoned for my liking! The price was more than fantastic for what I got! My overall rating out of 5 is a 4.8! read more

Delicious brisket in a very quaint atmosphere. The staff is very friendly. Get there early before they run out!!

Just not very flavorful. You can tell some older people run the place! Which is fine just not the bbq I'd choose for my first choice!

Ordered andouille, bologna, Mac and cheese, beans and okra. The andouille was room temp, Mac and cheese was cold ( got it refunded ) beans were still boiling and okra was the saltiest okra I had in my life. Won't go back. My dad, a dementia patient was even disappointed and it's very rare for him to not like bbq. read more

I was hungry. Entering the little restaurant, one foot was in the restaurant and the other still outside; the door had not closed behind me, and the kid manning the cash register demanded "can I get a name for the order." The urgency of his demand was an unexpected greeting. I spotted the menus hanging on the wall, written on butcher paper and chalk boards. I was focused on them. I gave a name, and asked "Can I have a minute to look at the menu?" Sure, he replied, "take your time" and then demanded "for here or to go?" The pressure to place an order was apparent. In less time that I would have like to have had, I decided. Burnt end dinner. Out! Reevaluating the options, I ordered a rib dinner with fries and slaw. For my wife a pulled pork sandwich with baked beans. The rib dinner was $18.95. Everything on the plate was five-star taste and quality. Big meaty tasty ribs with a nice light bark from a perfect rub that didn't overwhelm the subtle smoke or the succulent swine flavor. The fries crisp, hot, seasoned perfection. A delicious cup of fresh slaw on the side. A half slab of ribs. More than I could eat. My wife and I split the fries and three big ribs went home with us. Large portions. A meal that was worth every penny. My wife's regular size pulled pork sandwich, was thick and overflowing with moist, smokey meat. Look at the picture. $7.99, a deal for great BBQ sandwich. The beans were BBQ cook off, competition quality. Infused with a smokey flavor, perfect spice, shredded meat and not sickening sweet. Just right! It is a small restaurant. Limited seating. There are only eight small tables with two chairs each. Grabbing one at lunch hour could be tough. The other pertinent bit of information is posted on the front door. The hours are from 11am to 7pm, OR UNTIL SOLD OUT. The burnt ends must be one of their best sellers. Ok, so looking back on the experience, although annoying, I understand the young man's urgency to get the orders in. The little place moves the meat. From the time we walked in, until we left, the phone is ringing. Call in orders are coming in. Patrons coming and going. Food is flying out the door. Order quicky. Get there before the food is gone. When you step in the door, be ready to order. You might get lucky and snag an order of the burnt ends. Luke's is now at the top of my list for the best BBQ in the Tulsa area. Exceeded expectations. Outstanding quality. read more

Awesome brisket! Great place. Friendly staff, prices were great along with generous portions.

The service is great and the food is absolutely delicious. You get your money's worth that's for sure. Love Luke's BBQ!

I'm going to categorize Luke's as a hole in the wall; and that is a very good thing! It is built onto a butcher shop and meat market. It is a small business that evidently does a lot of business because if you don't get there early they start selling out of items. When I stopped by they had already sold out of their brisket and burnt ends. I got the 2 meat combo with pulled pork and Andouille sausage. I got the mac and cheese and bbq beans for sides. It has been a long time since I ordered pulled pork that could stand on its own without putting any sauce on it but this one was so good I just wanted to eat it straight up. They gave me two links of the Andouille sausage and it was awesome. The beans were kinda plain but still tasty and the mac and cheese was good. This combo filled me up! I saw a peach fried hand pie and couldn't resist although I had to wait a little while before I had room to eat it. It reminded me of the fried pies my grandmother used to make! Thank you!!! read more

Tremendous!!! The brisket literally falls apart in your mouth and the flavors are absolutely immaculate. This is easily the best BBQ I have ever had, and the pricing is very reasonable. The service was great; everyone was so kind and treated us like we were family. When we accidentally spilt our water, the worker cleaned it up for us and was so nice about it. The decorations the smaller space were wonderful; feels like you are just eating in your house but with the best food ever. Highly recommend. read more

Luke's BBQ and Beard Brothers over in Coweta. Very cool meat market and the burgers (we barely had room to eat that night). I wasn't planning on going next door for BBQ after getting my burger meat but we didn't hate it. The sides were okay, (Mac and cheese and slaw...I'd probably skip those next time the slaw was a little runny...and Mac and cheese needed a little more flavor...the Burnt ends and sliced brisket was great. read more

best BBQ in Oklahoma get there super early to get the best burnt ends Tremendous baked beans.

Bought some smoked chicken, fries, okra and baked beans. Sat in the fridge for two days, reheated it in the oven and it was still some of the best bbq I've ever had. The okra was picked at the perfect time and cooked perfectly. The beans had an awesome smoky flavor. For sure my favorite bbq beans I've ever had. The chicken fell apart in my mouth. So glad i live right down the street. read more

Ok so a few of the guys stopped by and said I needed to check this place out including our weather guy.....so I was in the neighborhood and starving so I stopped by... If you look at my picture, portion size was outta this world! And no you can't eat this sandwich by hand you gotta get a knife and fork... slaw was spot on and pretty darn decent. I opted for bologna instead of hot links and that didn't did Sapporo the at all! Lastly the massively coated burnt ends... great smoke right amount of sugar in their coating was just too darn good to stop eating! Worth the stop! And I hope to get back out and try their ribs bc one of the other guys got it and man.... looked Fall off the bone! Sorry I was too busy attacking my mountain of sand which to see how his went.... read more

Great BBQ, the Ribs are great and very good service. We will be back. Just call before you go cause they run out of food.

Delicious! We ordered two pounds each of chicken, pork and beef. Everyone loved all especially the sliced chicken.

Food was excellent but service was the BOMB! Highly recommend. Wish we lived closer, I'd be there all the time!

The food here is fantastic. Probably the best pork ribs I've had in the greater Tulsa area, well seasoned and falling off the bone. Service is good with no complaints from me, and they definitely stay busy from what I saw when I was there, so your food is going to be fresh! read more

Small but Great BBQ! We love their food! It is close to our house too so we go here as much we we remember read more

Luke's is great! The people are awesome. The food is awesome! Get the burnt ends, but get there early to get them.

I got to have the amazing bbq at an event. It was delicious! I can't wait to go to the location and enjoy the full menu.

There food is amazing but you better get it while you can cause there food goes by pretty quickly lol I recommend for beginners there

Luke's BBQ is absolutely outstanding. They are like other great barbecue places as they sell out of their prime time entrees quite often. Get there early to get your first choice but everything is great. The guys running Luke's are fun personalities and provide a nice atmosphere with bad boy tunes such as the Red Hot Chile Peppers while you pound down their splendid BBQ like champions!!! Give them a try and you won't be disappointed in the food or their service. Respectfully, Wyatt M. read more

Good BBQ. Nice size portions. Limited seating is the only negative. They do run out do better get there early.

Our favorite BBQ place around here!!! You'll get the most bang right here too!!! They don't skimp so you won't leave here hungry and you'll more than likely have leftovers for later!!! read more
