    This is a great place for take-out and it is super fast. I literally was in and out within 10 minutes of getting out of my car, placing the order and grabbing the to-go bag. I love the old school feel of this place where you get white bread and raw onions and peppers. Their standard sauce (on the side, of course) is the right amount of sweet and spicy. I ordered the full 3-meat (hot links, sliced brisket and pulled pork) and a half order of turkey, sliced brisket and pulled pork. We got two sides each and they were large enough that we only ate a single serving of the campfire potatoes and beans (which are both delicious). Sorry no pics of the food because we were starving and ate it promptly.

    Missed it the first time driving by.

    A friend of mine suggested I pick up food here after my son's basketball games. It was getting dark and I drove right by the first time. I ordered 2 family packs. One with Ribs, the other with pulled pork. Added a pound of polish sausage. Choose beans, corn on the cob, pasta salad, and campfire potatoes. They just ran out of campfire potatoes so hope to try that next time we are in town. They brought it to me quick, 10 minutes! Everything smelled so good, was hot, fresh and flavorful.

    Mac's Barbeque Preview: Savor the rich, smoky flavors at Mac's in Skiatook, where each bite of perfectly seasoned meat takes Oklahoma barbecue to the next level. Final Score: 53/60 Excellent Barbecue is the beloved food of Oklahoma, so much so that loyalty to a favorite spot can make all others feel like blasphemy. Mac's, a staple in Skiatook since 1985, was originally founded by Mike McMillan. Today, it's in the hands of Adam Green, a military veteran and smoke master who has elevated barbecue to new heights. Under Adam's leadership, Mac's recently won the Tulsa World BBQ Bracket Contest, with "Mac's Mafia" showing up in full force to support. Adam's dedication to hard work and passion for his craft shine through in every dish. He brings creativity to barbecue with unique flavor profiles that go far beyond traditional smoked meats. Each visit has revealed new seasonings; honey, coriander, cumin, rosemary, and thyme all adding depth to his incredible creations. With Mac's recent competition victory, it was the perfect time for a formal review. So, let's see what's smokin' let's eat! Smoked Turkey The depth of smoke Adam achieves with each bite is impressive. Every mouthful perfectly fuses the smoky flavor with the delicate seasoning of the turkey. The meat is incredibly juicy, with the smoke and seasoning so well integrated throughout the breast that I initially thought it had been brined. However, I later learned that this remarkable flavor is purely the result of Adam's smoking expertise. Chicken Leg Much like the breast, the leg offers a perfect balance of smoke and seasoning. Each bite falls off the bone, delivering initial bursts of rich salt, paprika, and pepper, followed by tender, smoky chicken. The finish is a delightful blend of chicken fat and skin that coats the palate beautifully. Pork Ribs The ribs offer a tender yet slightly firm texture, providing a pleasing contrast in each bite. Once again, the balance of smoke, seasoning, and meat is masterfully executed. The flavor journey begins with a burst of seasoning, transitions to the richness of the pork, and finishes with a perfect touch of smoke. Pulled pork The pulled pork was the most delicate in terms of smoke and seasoning with an emphasis on the pork flavor. It was tender and juicy. Jalapeno and Cheddar Polish Sausage Each bite delivers the rich, savory flavor of sausage, followed by sharp cheddar and smoke in the middle, and finishing with the subtle heat of jalapeño. The blend of flavors elevates this sausage far beyond the traditional smoked variety. Sides: Coleslaw, Potato Salad, BBQ Beans The coleslaw is bold and unapologetic. Its creamy sauce is perfectly balanced with the crisp slaw, delivering an intense hit of garlic and cream that gives way to the fresh flavor of the cabbage, creating a beautifully counterbalanced palate experience. It's a powerful combination.The potato salad, featuring eggs, leans on the creamy side with chunks of potato and a mild tang from mustard and dressing. The beans aren't overly sweet, offering a smoky barbecue flavor with bits of chewy meat. The green beans have a classic profile, seasoned with smoke and salt. Overall: Mac's is truly a barbecue mecca for its loyal "mafia" and all of Oklahoma. Adam's mastery of the smoking process and his innovation with proteins set him apart. His weekly specials, featuring items like redfish, half chickens, salmon, and beef ribs, go beyond the traditional pulled pork, brisket, and ribs. This creativity allows Adam to explore new flavors rather than focusing solely on one barbecue style, such as Carolina or Texas. By doing so, he offers something fresh in a field that often clings to tradition without moving forward. Until next time, friends--let's eat! Final score: 53/60 Excellent

    3 Meat Combo. Ribs, Sliced Beef, and Pulled Pork. Sides: Campfire Potatoes & Cole Slaw
    Amber S.

    Today I had the pleasure to get taken to Mac's in Skiatook, OK. Walking in I was surprised how small it was inside. But you know what they say, big things come in small packages and boy do they! I love the whole order at the counter and get a number vibe. I got the 3 meat combo with ribs, sliced brisket, and pulled pork. For the sides, I got campfire potatoes and cole slaw. If I could give this place 10 stars, I totally would. Everything was full of flavor and moist. My brisket was fatty in all the best ways! I tried all the sauces, they were amazing, but I found myself not really needing any. Here's the thing though. I would kidnap someone's child for those campfire potatoes! If I had one knock it would be on the cole slaw. It was a little sweet, but the crunch on the veg was on point! I also love the free for all pepperoncini's and onions.

    Nice ambiance at the order counter.

    You order at the counter and the service was friendly. The space is used well for seating and decorated on theme and with family photos. We tried the chopped beef, pulled pork, and ribs which came with two sides. All the meat was good quality. The beef and pork needed sauce otherwise the flavor was too faint. The ribs were seasoned so well. They aren't very meaty so I would get double ribs next time and skip the chopped beef. There is an up charge for the ribs. The Cowboy potatoes were good-cheesy hash brown style-all soft-no crisp. I would prefer them without the onion-although the big chunks were easy to pull put.

    Amazing Stop - don't pass it up…read more SmOakies ~ WoW, some Great BBQ! My wife and I got the Fat Boy to split after driving all day coming in from the Ozarks on our summer trip out west. The chopped brisket was delicious with good texture and not too fatty, Pulled Pork, had texture but still tender and juicy with a nice skin on it! The Chicken tender brined and smokes, very tender and juicy. The Ribs had a delicious dry rub and were just at fall off the bone, not over tender at all. The ham was good but the least standout, as well as the sausage were all cooked to perfection, crispy skin and so tenderly cooked. The Slaw was a vinegar slaw that was a little heavy on the onion and celery seed, while the Baked Beans were sweet and tangy, some ketchup and mustard and I'm guessing but I taster Tamarind, delicious . The Potato Salad was absolutely lovely! ~ tasted like a mayo and mustard dressing with egg yokes? , dill pickle chunks and dill... reminded me of a deviled egg potato salad ~ WoW again. I eat BBQ all over the country pretty regularly and they was one of my Top Stops in a long while! ~ Great Job SmOkies!

Only little drawback is...they should have another choice of BBQ sauce at the table. And it would be nice if they had a beer license! Beer & BBQ..YUM! Still worthy of 5 stars & highly recommend Oakhart BBQ!

    It's always good news when Tulsa gets a new Barbeque restaurant. In fact, it's a privilege to have…read moreso many good, authentic and/or homegrown eateries in our area. Which is why I'm sad that I'm just now being able to visit Oakhart last year, 4 years after they originally opened. Oakhart BBQ, located just East of Downtown, has carved out a great corner of the market. After being on my radar for a while but with limited hours, I finally walked in on Friday, October 31st around noon. The familiar patrons grazed the area just enough not to be crowded, a medium fill of people. The line wait was about 6mins and the staff were attentive when you got to the front. Though the prices were comparative to similar BBQ eateries of the area, Oakhart presents more like a shack as it's interior & seating options aren't as lush. The menu is handwritten on butcher paper & each employee had a different vibe but same apron. The delivery is al la cart, you get your food as soon as you ask for it & choose a chair. I got the baked beans, smoked brisket & Ribs, a decent variety to test the palate. The meal didn't initially look too appealing so I added salt & pepper to the sides. Each table is equipped with a standard & hot BBQ sauce. Just like in Texas, nothing matters more than the meat itself. I wasn't surprised that both the brisket & ribs were rich, tender & tender with a flavorful outer-char. The sides weren't as appealing, in look or in taste, even after the salt+pepper. The macaroni was wet & flaccid while the best thing about the beans were their temperature. I'll end my nitpicking as the meal was still satisfying. I would have liked to spring for the dessert that was offered but the ticket was already $25.00 (with tip) without a drink. As someone who's lived in Austin, I appreciate that Tulsa can attract, maintain and appreciate differing styles of BBQ. I was happy to see people supporting & being amongst folks who enjoy straightforward cooking. It's good to know that you can experience a bit of Texas in Tulsa which just the right amount that we need.

This place is the best bbq in Oklahoma, and I know that's a bold statement for something out of a trailer, and yet it's true. These guys just took over ownership a couple weeks ago so I expect it to get even better with time. TULSA IS WINNING. I absolutely stalk good bbq places and so I usually don't put too much stock in them meeting me expectations. But when you see Nick pull that brisket out of that brown waxed paper and watch the jiggle as he slices through that amazing bark, you'll realize you've hit the jackpot. We grabbed the food for 2 and it was an incredible sampler of all of their meats. And the sides... GET THE BACON CHEESE GRITS. Holy moly rolly poly that little styrofoam cup should come with a warning label because it's absolutely ridiculous. The chicken was so juicy, I was almost more impressed by it honestly. But brisket of this tier is just such a rare find... the other two with me easily admitted it was the best they've had in their entire life. Ribs too. We also didn't expect to be able to find an open patio on a Saturday, but the outdoor space provided created such a laid back experience with the outdoor tables I felt like I could kick back, eat some Q and let all the stresses of the world melt away. Go. Just go. Go now. The lines on this place are going to be a mess soon, I'm sure. So get there now before everyone and their dog starts standing in line until they sell out like a certain unnamed Ft Worth place I know.

We chose Triggers BBQ, reviews were generally positive and it was a short stroll from The Frontier Hotel. The young lady working the counter was very friendly and our order was placed quickly. The fountain machine was not working which isn't a big deal. We each decided to try RC Cola. The only rub I have at this part of our experience is don't blame someone for the fountain machine not working. It's just a poor reflection. Just state it's not working. I ordered the brisket, coleslaw, and cheesy potatoes. My lovely wife ordered "the last of today's pork", brisket and cheesy potatoes. The food came out quickly. It was immediately noticeable that the brisket had sat in a warmer for way to long and was past its prime. A slathering of BBQ sauce on the brisket was not much improvement and was really uninspiring its self. A prior review noted the brisket tasted more like liquid smoke and I would agree. "The last of today's pork", was not as painful as the brisket yet not by much. Moving on to the cole slaw which I believe was a red wine vinaigrette. It was not to my liking however it might be to yours. I'll call this a push. Finally the cheesy potatoes. This side was good, moist and tasted as expected. It's unfortunate that this was the best item as I would fully expect the BBQ to be the star. The place is rustic, clean and small. With the draw in Pawhuska being The Pioneer Woman fame and you are a short block walk away. What you serve should be on point. This BBQ experience wasn't.
