Took a suggestion from a coworker who used to live in Muskogee and he said he would come here when he was younger. This place did not disappoint! The waitresses were spot on and friendly. We were quickly seated and ordered our drinks. They were not much selections with regards to appetizers so I ordered fries & onion rings. The onion rings were great however, at $7.59 I'm not exactly sure of the price, but they were exactly what I wanted in an onion ring. I chose the Two Meat Combo, Turkey & Chopped Brisket w/Potato Salad & Cole Slaw. Both meats were delicious and the Cole Slaw was a true hit! The Potato Salad was also good. Everyone in the group liked what they got so a big shout out to Mahylon's for the excellent lunch. Even I was checking out thy the waitress days she had been working there for 27 years! Then she began to tell me dinner off the highlights on the menu. I wish I had the opportunity to go back and try them. Who knows I may just take a day trip up to grab lunch week my wife! My recommendation is if you are in Muskogee or just passing through and love barbecue this is a must try!!! read more

Even though it's been a while since I've eaten here, I have always LOVED the blue cheese burger. Also, IMO, Kenny has the best BRISKET in this area. Just hope they still are making the blue cheese burger!! read more

Great food with generous portions. Quick attention, excellent service, and the food came out The owner stopped by the table and had a nice conversation with us. Every person we encountered mirrored his outgoing, friendly personality. I would highly recommend! read more

Good every time!! Have been many times a day never disappointed. Services is amazing and friendly

The menu is extensive. That was nice to have so many options. However it kinda made it hard to know what is the best thing, given I had never been there before. They will serve you drinks in an ice cold mug (if you ask) and I loved that. Plenty of seating. Workers were nice, but it seemed it was one lady telling the other 5 what to do. And the other 5 didn't attend to the tables without the one lady telling them go do XYZ. So if you needed a refill you were at the mercy of the one lady noticing you and telling the others to go do it. That was kind of odd. Things I liked, the BBQ sauce, fries, okra, bologna, ribs. Things I wouldn't get again potato salad, beans, peach cobbler. read more

The food is traditional American fare that is prepared with care and hits the mark. From friendly service to great food you really will find something for anyone in your group at Mahylon's. A must stop in Muskogee every time! read more

The barbecue was like barbecue used to be back in Texas in the 70's...GREAT! The smoked bologna was off the chain and this was my first visit and every staff member treated me like I was their next door neighbor...I'll be back with my napkin on! read more

We came here for dinner, was attracted by the reviews. I was enjoying the different choices on menu and all specials sounded delicious I choose the pork and I was not disappointed, it was cooked perfectly and the potato was just right. My friend had the 22oz bone in ribeye, that was amazing and he enjoyed it it. The only quarm was it was a little undercooked. Would also recommend the restaurant take off the foil before serving the potato. Dessert sounded amazing with many choices, I was too full to try Service was on point and polite. read more

Mahylon's - Grilled pork, loaded baked potato - Barbeque Near Me - Muskogee, Oklahoma

Mahylon's has a definite following in Muskogee. I've had it a few times over the years, but I have to say, I just don't prefer it to other barbecue and steak choices in town. The food is good, and I would say that the steak is better than the barbecue selection. But it's quite expensive compared to other options for steak and barbecue. Ribs were cooked very tender, but the membrane wasn't removed and they lacked seasoning and flavor. The chicken fried steak is battered in what I would consider not the right type of batter for a chicken fried steak. It was more of a tempura or beer kind of batter versus fried chicken style batter that's typically used. It was also a bit over fried for me. The sides are tasty! And portions are large. Our waitress was very nice. And the inside is clean and welcoming. It's the type of place that if a group of friends want to go, I'll go. But I wouldn't choose it on my own over somewhere else for dinner. I've heard they have great brunch, so maybe I'll try it out! read more

We had a large group of family (who tends to get rather loud at these events) and the food and service was excellent. Only complaint was that one of the steaks came out well done rather than medium :( . No harm - no foul. We will be returning in the future :) read more

worst $80 spent ! got the chicken fried steak dinner the chicken fried steak was burnt and the breading was to thick! and flavorless! the fries are the cheapest you can buy fresh cut is better ! the side salad smelled like it was picked through out of a bad bag! smelled like rotten lettus ! and my toast also burnt on one side ! basically whole meal is Un edible! my husband order the kc steak and baked potato and ask for extra cheese and bacon and butter they literally put a sprinkle of everything the baked potato was so dry and the steak looks like leather! will not be back! for the price of your food this Is ridiculous! read more

We are frequent flyers here. I honestly know they don't need any changes. The food has been fresh when we visit each time. Fresh served food is a big deal in this town due to the "chained establishments" have fallen down hill right along service, quality, quantity, and variety. The servers here know how to treat you as a welcomed guest. I recommend the sliced brisket plate, with a garden side salad, and baked potato. Yes, the other food options are just as great, imo... A smoked hot link with a baked potato, or potato salad. Try a chicken wrap. My husband enjoys the smoked sliced turkey plate, gets his with double fries. Sweet tea is usually a plus each visit. The experience and the classic rock music gives you a good feel. I don't know what it is, but that classic rock just sets the ambiance like your back on the lake. See y'all there! read more

We met family there and had a nice after-Christmas visit. Friendly service and didn't feel rushed to leave. The food was great and just what we needed(being native Texans living in Oklahoma)! read more

Service has always been great, but very limited menu options and dry chicken has me giving my patronage to other restaurants. Mahylon's catered my wedding reception, and while they did a decent job, their prices were ridiculous for what they offered, and no one from the restaurant actually served the guests. It was extremely disappointing, and I haven't been back since, and that was 16 years ago. read more

Always delicious and service with a smile. I've never had anything that wasn't great. You won't have room because of the large portions but get dessert to go! This is a Muskogee favorite! read more

Absolutely fantastic in every aspect. Great food (loved the ribs, but the "Rex Earl" salad is a must try - named after a legendary lawyer Rex Earl Starr). Service was wonderful. You will notice they seem to know all the customers that were coming in the door, which is a great sign of the loyalty they earned and the staff's attention to details. This is a special place. I will be back every time I'm in Muskogee. read more

Been here a couple times and seems to be growing on me. Looks to be a local favorite and I like the selections on meats and sides. I always find pork ribs and brisket to be a good indicator on bbq and they carry it well. read more

This is a local staple and I think nostalgia keeps them going. I've been twice since moving to Muskogee about 6 years ago. The service has always been decent but the food, particularly the BBQ isn't my jam. Portion sizes were as expected. read more

Ribs and sauce really really good. Tx toast 5 star. Banana Pudding was a top ten favorite. Pit cook responsibile for briskets must just not care. read more

Server No clue. She didn't say her name Ambiance It's a BBQ joint playing oldies. Food Sub par and waaaaay over priced. Very greasy and lacking real flavor. Overall Very disappointed. This place is a token of its former self. This place is way over priced and is a real shame. It has a decent reputation, but it's for naught. Military read more

Mahylon's - Huge menu - Barbeque Near Me - Muskogee, Oklahoma

We called this morning at 9:30 am and requested food for 12-15 people, for a 1:30 pm pick up. The owner called us back within minutes with the most professional and helpful suggestions. We ordered brisket, potato salad, coleslaw, bread, cookies and brownies. He also suggested a gallon of tea and lemonade, plates and flatware and a styrofoam ice chest with ice and a disposable scoop. After the funeral we called and added 2 vegetarian wraps. All in all the most efficient and easy process ever! They gained a steady customer today . I would highly suggest/recommend them to anyone. read more

My wife and I was in Muskogee for an Auction. We found Mahylon's BB-Q and Steak house in the area, and gave it a try. I did my homework on Yelp and found mixed reviews but had to check it out for ourselves. The restaurant had plenty of parking, the inside appeared to be clean with plenty of tables. A friendly waitress greeted us at the door and led us to our table and took our drink order. She said the menu was on the wall. I orders the 3 piece combo BB-Q with ribs, sliced brisket and bologna. My wife ordered chopped brisket. We both had baked beens and slaw for sides. It took an exceptional amount of time to get our meal (23min.) It shouldn't take more than 10 min to serve BB-Q. It is already cooked and only needs to be plated. The waitress was very friendly but was not very attentive. We did not see her from the time she took our order until she brought our meal. The means no drink refills until she brought our dinner. My food was good but nothing to write home about. My wife's chopped brisket was kind of tough. It all had a good flavor. I did notice the menu showed some specials for Steaks, Shrimp and pork chops. However there wasn't any prices. The waitress told us the reason they didn't put prices was because they were too expensive to post the prices. When she gave me the prices I had to agree. They were way to expensive for my wallet They did have their table spaced for COVID-19 however I did not see any other precautions. I would have given a higher score if we had a more attentive waitress read more

Service was average. They were very sexist- would only acknowledge husband. Worst BBQ we have ever experienced in our lives. For $29 (after tax) we got the 3 meat plate. Portions were tiny- it wasnt even a total of 12oz for 2 ribs, turkey, and brisket. It came with 2 sides and we ordered one more. Literally NOTHING was seasoned. The only seasoning you get is from their bbq sauce, which is literally just MSG, Old Bay seasoning, and brown sugar for their flavor. The brisket was dryer than the Mojave desert. It looks like they soak it in red food coloring to mimic an actual smoke ring. The turkey actually did taste of turkey and was not as dry, but had no seasoning. The ribs were burned. The okra was cooked too low and too long, and there was a puddle of grease in the bowl. It was, again, not even seasoned, and too dead to eat. The coleslaw was the same trash you get from the discount grocery store. The baked beans were from a can, but they add day-old shredded brisket and some of their "sauce" to make it "special." Husband actually puked. Obviously we could not eat it. OOOOOH BOY... NEVER AGAIN. read more

My wife & I visited for the first time the above mentioned restaurant & we have to give it thumbs up in quality, service & ambiance. The brisket was awesome & the side dishes were also very good. Looking forward to a second visit. Carlos & Candy. Tulsa, OK read more

Michael W. Smith Mahylon's BBQ is the "GO TO" place in Muskogee for the best selection of great food. All of their meats are super tasty. Veggies and salads are quite fresh. Their deserts are worth hanging out a bit longer after you think you're done...but not. Yum! The folks that serve you make certain you've had the best opportunity to enjoy wherever your taste buds take you. Their banquet room(s) just made it possible for us to celebrate our Mom's 93rd birthday for the whole family. this is not a "not time visit" kinda place, cuz you'll be back to try the pie you were too full for the last time. Enjoy!!! read more

Words cannot explain how good the BBQ is here. Some of the best BBQ that I've ever had. My wife and I decided to try this restaurant for our anniversary and we were not disappointed. She received the 2 meat dinner and I received a chicken fried steak. We didn't go inside the restaurant to eat due to waiting to stay home and relax since we've been so busy lately. The chicken fried steak came with a baked potato that was very good. The chicken fried steak was amazing. The batter was thick and crunchy and the steak was cooked to perfection. I would recommend this to anyone who wants BBQ or something else that they have on their wonderful menu. I would say they have the best BBQ on the state. read more

Mahylon's - Chicken fried steak - Barbeque Near Me - Muskogee, Oklahoma

Kenny serves the best Food in Muskogee. The service is top notch with a great home atmosphere. I would recommend Mahylon's to everyone.

Locally owned and operated! My husband loves the bone in rib-eye!(come hungry) and I love the grilled chicken dinner!

Dine in experience for supper. Our family enjoyed the meal. Staff was attentive and the food was great. My son and I had kc strip steak. Cooked right and quality of the steak was good! The jumbo shrimp sounded good to me today, but I wasn't expecting much. The shrimp was the best! Broad jumbo shrimp with a tasty cocktail sauce! This place is a new favorite for us! read more

Mahylon's is absolutely delicious. We had the chicken fried steak and it was so good. The waitress was very attentive and so friendly. They took such great care of us. This was our first time trying it and we will definitely be back soon! read more

I heard this was the only good bbq in Oklahoma so I had to try it! I was impressed with the menu. They have so many different choices and they serve brunch, which is awesome! The person I went with had a mushroom burger and fries and I had a brisket sandwhich with okra. The brisket had an awesome texture and it was perfectly smoky. Just missing some salt. The okra was absolutely delicious! I was told the burger was good and was perfectly cooked but needed salt also. Their hot bbq sauce was perfection! Not too spicy, just enough to add a kick to your food. I'd definitely go back and would recommend stopping by! read more

Clean, tidy establishment. Extensive menu. Hostess and servers were friendly. Owner visited with us and invited us to come back. Brisket Plate was very tasty. Chopped barbecue brisket sandwich was a delicious mound of beef combined with sauce. There were choices of tangy sauce and mild sauce on the table. My sides were French fries (I ate all of them) that were fresh - and hubby ate my barbecue beans, which he announced were very good. The restaurant was patronized largely by locals, said the owner and he was proud of it. We passed 2 other eateries before deciding to stop at Mahylon's. We were happy we stopped. read more

We go almost every week for "date night". Staff is friendly and helpful with a casual atmosphere. Food is always excellent.

I really like the food but it is getting really over priced. The older lady at the window NEVER smiles, is NEVER friendly, and is rude. I asked instead of two sides to have a salad. Side salad mind you since I wasn't getting any sides since this was the substitution. She charged me $2.99 extra without even bothering to tell me when I asked for the sub. I am over this lady at the window! If you put people in front of the public you need to have someone that is at least friendly. Never once has her face changed from the scowl. I guess its permanent. On a side note if you happen to get the younger lady that works the window she is over the top friendly!!!! I just wished she was the only worker on the window. Hint. Hint. read more

Great food, great service, very nice experience, very clean facilities, will definitely be coming back

We were in Muskogee from out of town and thought BBQ would be good. Have to say we were sadly disappointed. We love BBQ but THIS was NOT BBQ. Ribs were tender but no seasoning at all. Turkey was bland with no smoke. Pork was sliced pork loin and was tough with no BBQ flavor or smoke at all. Everything was cold including fries the kids had with their burgers. Beans were fair but nothing else was worthy of mentioning. read more

Mahylons is a staple for my husband and I. We typically get dinner here, either dine in or from the drive through, once a week and their brunch on Saturdays is fantastic. The staff are the best, we are always well taken care of at Mahylons! read more

Overpriced and overrated. It's a shame the pitmaster has really lowered their standards since the last time I ate at the establishment. The burgers and fries are from frozen. The brisket is greasy. This whole experience has turned me off of the bbq I grew up loving my whole life. Once I got home I called a few locals and they all agreed and stated something to the effect "yeah, we stopped going their a few years ago". Well, why didn't anyone tell me? I could have saved 50$. They didn't even put any sauce in our to go bag even though I ordered the brisket plate. Horrible experience. In doing my post meal research I found they have a health department score of 80 out of 100. What a mess. What happened Kenny? What happened Mayhlons? read more

Reviewed February 15, 2018 Health Score 90 out of 100 Good food and service. Five of us had lunch there. The ribs looked great. I had the sliced brisket. The meat was tender and very lean. It was good. I wish it had a little more smoke flavor. The okra was good as was the slaw. The beans tasted okay, but they were cooked to a mush consistency. The service was good and this is a decent restaurant. It has a wide variety on the menu including non BBQ items. It is worth a try if you are in Muskogee. It fills fast at noon, so be there at 11:30!
