Stopped for lunch (04/29/26). Our meals were fabulous! Had the brisket & smoked turkey. The sides (pinto beans, potato salad & grits) were equally as wonderful. 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! read more

We are huge fans of BBQ. We like all sorts, from backwoods smokers to in town KC Q. We have so excited to try Oakhart and finally had the chance today. We were there a little after 11 (opening) and were shocked that there was no line and only a handful of patrons. Yes, I know it was early, but other times there were long lines and we couldn't go. I had the pork ribs with grits and potato salad. I felt like the ribs were decently smoked. There was no bark and they were fall apart ... but mushy. The sides were bland and very run of the mill. The potato salad tasted like it was Ben E Keith's with a little bit of homemade thrown into it. Grits were creamy and peppered looking, just absolutely no flavor and not warm. My husband had pulled pork and coleslaw. The coleslaw was 10/10. It had a unique flavor and was crisp. Again, the meat was kinda... smoky. The restaurant was clean and bright and the staff was friendly. The prices were what you expect, not expensive, not cheap. read more

It's always good news when Tulsa gets a new Barbeque restaurant. In fact, it's a privilege to have so 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. read more

Get here early. This is a barbecue restaurant that smokes a certain amount of meat and if they run out they run out. This is your warning. I walked in close to 1:00pm and they had gone through most of their inventory. I ordered a plate of jalapeno sausage with potato salad and cheese grits. All were served in healthy portions. All were absolutely delicious. read more

It's been a couple years but got to come back to Oakhart BBQ. A wonderful spare rib with a slightly sweet glaze that bit off wonderfully. Even the end piece I got which was a little crispy on the outside but moist after biting in. The brisket was juicy as could be. A great cheese grits that still had some texture. Sometimes you go out there and get grits that is pudding lol. Here the banana pudding was on the thicker of constancy that I loved. Different than the rich or airy pudding I find here and there. I'm happy I got the stop by again. read more

We'd heard great things about Oakhart Barbecue and finally had the chance to try it. We went on Friday around noon. Parking was a bit tough. Their lot in the back was full, but there's street parking in the surrounding neighborhood. The space inside is a good size with long communal tables and a few smaller tables for two to four people. Service was smooth; you order at the counter and they slice your meat and plate your sides right there. The meat itself was excellent. The regular BBQ sauce was thinner than we prefer, but the hot BBQ sauce had great flavor. You can actually taste the peppers. I was unsure about the potato salad at first, but it definitely grew on me. Is it the best we've had? Nah. Would we come back? For sure. read more

I'm thoroughly impressed! The brisket was perfectly smoked--super tender, juicy, and full of that rich, smoky flavor that only comes from a long, slow cook. The turkey was a pleasant surprise too! It was so flavorful and moist--definitely not dry like you sometimes find. And don't even get me started on the sides. The mac and cheese, and potato salad were the perfect complement to the meat, and you can tell they're made with care. read more

Stopped in late Friday afternoon place was empty I should have taken that as a sign. Had the ribs and brisket. If you are looking for real Texas smoked BBQ this isn't the place. Beans were bland no seasoning or flavor at all. Ribs were okay just didn't have any smoked flavor. Brisket tasted like roast beef out of the oven with large pieces of fat with a little meat. Not great! They'll never see the color of my money again. read more

Oakhart BBQ is a solid win. The BBQ is really good--smoky, flavorful and cooked just right. Everything tasted fresh and high quality. The place itself is clean and well kept, which I always appreciate. Staff was friendly, helpful and welcoming without being over the top. If you're craving great BBQ, this spot is definitely worth checking out. read more

brisket tough and greasy. out of ribs pinto beans were not good. Service was basically self serve.

Is this my new favorite BBQ spot in Tulsa? Maaaaayyyybe. The service is exceptional. They are so genuinely happy you're there and are great about answering questions and giving recommendations. The brisket was our favorite, but everything was spot on. Will definitely be back! read more

Came in at 12:25 PM on a Thursday afternoon and the place was packed. There was a decent waiting line that was moving through rather quickly. By the time I've reached the ordering counter, everything was pretty much sold out, only brisket and pulled pork left. Some of the sides were out as well, a little odd. I think this is the biggest problem with Oakhart BBQ at the moment. I've never cared for pulled pork so I was left with brisket. I was told Oakhart has the best brisket. Unfortunately, I only like ribs at a BBQ place. Don't get it wrong here, the brisket was good but I can't tell you if they are the best or not as they taste the similar to me. I am really happy to see a busy shop. I don't mind a shop being sold out of food. That's a good sign and indicates customers satisfaction. I am reviewing this based on the food I had and based on food, 4 stars for now. read more

Oakhart would give any Texas BBQ joint a run for their money. Everything was seasoned well and tender. Sides are the lesser loved sidekick, but the offerings at Oakhart are standouts in their own right. ..above average for sure. Worth a special trip if you're anywhere near the area. Banana pudding is solid, but not worth the calories. The restaurant is spotless and service is quick. Like any great smokehouse, they will run out of items so get there early. 4.4 stars. read more

I had a few BBQ places bookmarked when I visited Tulsa. This place wasn't my first choice. But it should have been. My first choice didn't work out. I was in line waiting to put in my order at the other place when a guy came out from the back with free samples of their ribs. I thought, Wow, how cool is this place? Handing out free ribs! This place kicks ass! As the worker worked his way down the line, I was fervently hoping he'd still have some left on his tray when he got to me. When he was three people away and I saw that he was going to have enough. Next thing I know he's handing me a rib. I realized right then I was in the wrong place. The rib he handed me was a Baby Back Rib. I didn't realize until just that moment that that other restaurant only sold Baby Back ribs. I'm not about Baby Back Ribs. If you are, that's great. I'm just not. When I want ribs, I greatly prefer spare ribs. You know, St Louis cut ribs. I ate the free sample and I have to admit it was absolutely delicious. It very possibly was the best Baby Back Rib I ever had. But there was no way I was going to eat a mess of them when I really had my heart set on some Spare Ribs. So I bailed on that other place and drove over here. Best move I ever made! Oakhart BBQ does Spare Ribs just exactly like I like them. The ribs here were absolutely perfect. Best ribs I've had in the last 40 years. No exaggeration. Those ribs were so good that I purposefully slowed down as I was eating them so I could savor every moment of the experience. Every bite was smoky pork perfection. The ribs had just the right amount of meat, and the meat had just the right degree of toothiness, tender, but not soft. Easy to bite off the bone, but not "falling off the bone." Just exactly perfect. I was absolutely ecstatic. And what made the meal even more remarkable were the sides. Most BBQ places have really lame sides. I absolutely hate the mediocre potato salad or weird watery coleslaw or beans that taste like they came out of a can kinds of sides you find all too frequently at typical BBQ joints. At most places I just throw the sides away barely touched. But the Oakhart BBQ sides are great. The BBQ beans were among the best I've ever had. They boasted a real smoky flavor and they were loaded with pieces of brisket. When I say loaded, I mean loaded. You could probably fish out enough pieces of brisket to make a sandwich if you wanted to. I couldn't believe how good those beans were. Damn! I also tried the Cheesy Grits. Another excellent side. They were the perfect compliment to the beans. With the beans and the ribs, it was a particularly satisfying combination. Since my first visit I've been back again. Although the ribs weren't quite as good the second time, it was through no fault of Oakhart BBQ. All ribs are not created equal. Some racks of ribs just aren't as good as some others. It's kind of the luck of the draw. But even though the ribs weren't stellar my 2nd visit, everything else was excellent. And I tried the Banana Pudding. OOooo-weeee that pudding is good. You gotta get the pudding! They've got some great customer service here at Oakhart. The guy in charge of the meat was very helpful, showing me the ribs and answering questions. The cashiers were super friendly and efficient. Mikey C says: See you next time I'm in town, Oakhart BBQ read more

Parking was tough, the staff seemed kind of arrogant / rude, and the price was high relative to local prices for barbecue. Food-quality-wise, I think it's probably second best in town in terms of quality barbecue. If you are a value-driven consumer, my wife will never let us go there again because she thinks they're too expensive for the treatment that we got and the quality/amount of food for the money. She would rather go to RibCrib, or Albert G's by far. We really had a bad experience with the staff. We felt that they were condescending and rude. That being said, on a given day, you can go there and get solidly good barbecue. I can't rate them lower than four stars because the quality of the barbecue was solidly good. I know that it's hard to hire good people these days, but please do better... read more

You know how to tell if a bbq joint is good? They have random limited hours because they're too busy prepping and this place is legit! I got the two meat plate with brisket, pulled pork, pinto beans and coleslaw. Generous portion of pulled pork and a thick slab of brisket, natural smoke flavor all throughout with a nice crust on the Texas style brisket. The brisket was a little dry but still plenty tender and their table side spicy or regular bbq sauce was a great add on. You can also order lean brisket for an up charge. Coleslaw was good and beans had a lot of meat which is a nice surprise. Overall 4.5, great atmosphere, friendly service and will be coming back. Would love to see a a hot vinegar sauce as an add on for the pull pork but that might be more of a south thing. read more

Got there too late for ribs but had a nice sliced brisket sandwich. Mac n cheese and beans were both very good.

The Texas Legislature, first the House of Representatives in the Spring of 1999, then in the Fall of 2003, the Senate passed a resolution proclaiming Lockhart TX to be The Barbecue Capital of Texas. There are four BBQ restaurants in Lockhart. The restaurants estimate that about 5,000 people visit their establishments each week. This would be roughly 250,000 people a year who eat BBQ in Lockhart. I was born and raised in Texas, and have visited all 4 of these BBQ spots: Kreuz, Smitty's, Blacks, and Chisholm Trail...plus many others. When I moved to Oklahoma 14 years ago I will admit the homesickness for Texas Style BBQ was real. Most Oklahoma BBQ spots adopt their recipes and influences from the Kansas City style: sweeter rubs and sauces and I'm not going to lie, Smoked Bologna is still something I'm trying to wrap my head around & take regular joking jabs from my friends and family back in Texas when I tell them that some places do a pretty good job with it. The Heavens parted and the smell of post oak (the only wood accepted to smoke with in Central Texas BBQ) filled my lungs in 2021 when Oakhart BBQ opened here in Tulsa. Co-owners Brian Hodges and Chris Emmons proud Okies brought their love of Central Texas BBQ to Tulsa. Using the same smoker from world Famous Franklins BBQ in Austin TX that they fire-up at 3am every morning, to the post oak wood that is burned and to the commitment that runs soul deep in Texas that...BRISKET IS KING They even named this place after using the two influences of Texas Style BBQ Post OAK & LockHART....OAKHART This is craft style BBQ that showcases the flavors of the meat and smoke. Simple rubs of salt, black pepper and garlic and then you let the low and slow smoke do its work. The results are exceptional: Tender, juicy and a smoke flavored bark that takes me back to my childhood.‍ You can taste it in the smoked meats, including the brisket, pulled pork, pork ribs, turkey, jalapeño-cheddar sausage, beef sausage and beef ribs (served Saturday only). Oakhart also serves potato salad, coleslaw, cheese grits, mac and cheese and pinto beans which are served with a more savory flavor than sweet. Little chunks of smoked brisket are found swimming in the bean broth and are a delectable surprise read more

Underwhelmed. We came in late, so they were out of a lot, but we loved the refuge plates at Burnco...that's not happening here. We got brisket and 2 orders of pork. Brisket was tough...chopped brisket and it was tough...and the pork was cold. For sides we got potato salad...nothing special, pretty plain, and coleslaw, exceptionally bland. I wouldn't recommend either. The only other thing available was beans, and they make them with chicken stock...and I can't do bird. Their bar-b-que sauce is sweet with no bite...which makes it pretty in-impressive as well. Their hot sauce has a bit of heat, but also lacks flavor. Seating area was nice, clean and bright, serving young lady was super friendly and sweet... Best thing we had were the side of pickles... Different folks like different bar-b-que. This didn't light us up...and we're kinda bummed because we have watched this place since they started renovating and we were excited to finally have a chance to check them out...too bad it's not for us. read more

Stopped in for a quick snack during our visit to Tulsa. I have eaten my fair share of BBQ while living in Dallas and Austin but I have to say this place is top 5.

This 'Cue has been consistently delivering the past 2 years - for me. The line inconsistent. A few Saturdays, after zoo outings with kids, we pick up a to-go-decadent lunch. Otherwise, a few lunches with friends. As we all came out of COVID times, the line used to be more formidable. Of late, no problem! The brisket: best I've found in OK. You can request fatty or lean. Ahem:: whereas I question the merits of "lean" brisket:: my 6 y.o. daughter prefers the lean slices. Over 6-8 outings, the brisket has never had an off day for me. Sausage (usually they offer jalapeno-cheese and mildly-spicy beef) is solid. Preference for the jalapeno, which sometimes sells out. The pork rib is very sweet, very different (for instance) than the Hasty bake Burnco style, but still tasty. They offer beef ribs most Saturdays, but i have not yet taken the plunge. Brisket-drooling^ having been completed, I put sausage and turkey next in discussion. Side wise -- although i enjoy their pinto beans -- I think cheesy grits and mac & cheese are more the crowd pleasers. Also, don't forget to ask for their housemade pickles! In closing, let me say a word about the friendly staff. IF you think ahead, you can order online. Been awhile and i don't recall the details. TL/DR - Can join without much fuss- Noon on Saturdays, of late. Line seems to have cooled. Best brisket in town. Solid menu top to bottom, and friendly/ longterm staff. read more

First time here and it was fine. Service was quick and a speedy checkout. To be honest not impressed with the potato salad, very bland. Luckily they were onions on my tray that I diced up and added along with pepper. It was salvageable! Beans were so so, I added BBQ sauce for additional flavor. The brisket was the highlight for me it was delicious! The ribs just medium! The inside tables were cleaned and had the good BBQ atmosphere. I don't make it to Tulsa as I would normally like but would have to give it a second go round as a comparison. read more

Came for lunch at about 12:30 on a Tuesday. Had heard good things about their brisket. Parking lot was full and there was a lively lunch crowd. Went to the counter to order a brisket sandwich only to be told they're out of brisket. Disappointed, I settled for the BBQ baloney. It was either that or turkey. The baloney was good. Their hot sauce is hot and their mild is kind of sweet. I'll come back so I can try the brisket. I'll be there when they open at 11. read more

This spot is the perfect lunch spot located close to downtown Tulsa. Oakhart Barbecue has the wonderful smell of smoked meat as soon as you get out of your vehicle in the parking lot. As you enter into Oakhart Barbecue, the smell intensifies and begins to prepare those tastebuds for some excellent smoked meats. On this particular day, I decided to get the ribs with a side of their Mac and cheese. The food is prepared and weighed in front of you. You get the best and freshest seat in the house when ordering your food. The ribs were fantastic exploding with flavorful juices and the right amount of smoke that your "Hart" desires! The max and cheese is simply amazing... you can not go wrong! Accompanying my ribs was their house made bbq sauce that is great on flavor. Definitely worth a stop in while meats last... get there earlier than later for an optimized selection in meats! read more

Stopped in at noon so the sliced brisket was out. But I asked for the whole slices that they use for chopped brisket. It was still above average, but they smartly use it for chopped for a reason. The smoked bologna was nice and the pulled pork was super moist and tender. Beans were nothing special... potato salad was decent - I prefer a more chunky - this is more creamy. For me, the brisket is what I am after, so I will update once I get some of their best sliced moist and lean. Service was really good... restaurant is clean. (I don't buy the filthy dirty as an ambience thing!!) Killer brisket will upgrade them to 5 stars when I get a chance to return. read more

At lunch time, we were in search of a barbecue place on our way to the airport. One place was closed, one place was out of the way, and the other place I had been to previously. This was the other on the list, it was right off the highway and on our way, and things happen for a reason. When we saw the menu on painters paper with painters tape on the wall and behind the service counter, we at first thought it was a joke, like they are putting together a formal menu board, but indeed, this was the plan! And it worked. The restaurant was super clean, staff was super professional, knowledgeable and friendly. When struggling to decide between ribs and brisket, staff decided to give us a taste of the brisket. Wow. No other words necessary. Convinced just by seeing it and then double convinced by tasting it. Tender, juicy, natural, just the right amount of fat and the perfect amount of smoking and seasoning. Not wanting to insult the pork ribs, which looked equally marvelous, we opted for combo platters. This was absolutely a smart choice because we were so satisfied with both brisket and ribs. Our sides were all homemade and excellent. My unsweetened tea was really nicely brewed and tasty. Prices were reasonable for what you're getting. The gentleman told us that nobody was from Texas but they stole the Texas style and they certainly did good by it. This was without a doubt better brisket than the other place I ate at on my last visit. However, I don't know about the barbecue sauce because I didn't put anything on this brisket... It didn't need it... So I have no idea if they have homemade sauce or don't even offer sauce because the meat doesn't need it! When you come to tulsa, this is your barbecue joint, hands down. read more

This is destination 'cue at its finest! $53.06 purchased two plates-- the first brisket with coleslaw and cheesy grits, the second ribs with cheesy grits and pinto beans. A jalapeno cheddar sausage, and two banana puddings, completed the order. Everything we tried proved exceptional. The fatty brisket was well smoked, moist, tender, and blessed with a slightly understated version of the classic central Texas rub. The ribs separated cleanly at the bite, and again the rub was sufficiently understated to allow the flavor of the meat to shine. The sausage was more cheesy than most, and very good, while both the grits and pinto beans were superb. The coleslaw, in turn, is one of those clean, palate cleansing bites that is ideal on a plate with two or more meats. Finally, the banana pudding was light, and not overly sweet, which is just the way we like it. All in all, we would rate Oakhart one of the three best 'cue joints of the fourteen that we have visited statewide. read more

Visited here on Cinco De Mayo, 2022. My boss and I were visiting Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, for a work conference. We had visited another BBQ joint near our hotel, and it was average. Our friend, who lives in nearby Mounds, Oklahoma, had recommended this place and promised to meet us here for lunch on our last day. He said the bbq here had blown his mind. Before even walking in, I smelled the smoky, seductive meat aroma. The website warned that they could run out of meat, and our friend backed this up from experience. They are only open for lunch, from 11-3 PM, from Tuesday through Saturday. We arrived at 12:20 PM, and luckily, they were only out of the Jalapeno Cheddar sausage. I quickly ordered the two-meat plate, with pork ribs and USDA prime brisket. The brisket oozed juices when sliced in front of me. It had a wonderful bark and looked perfectly cooked. My meal came with two sides, and I selected the mac and cheese and the cheese grits. The pork ribs had meat falling off the bone with a wonderful smoky taste and that brisket floored me. The succulent meat with the beautiful bark rub tasted tangy and zesty. You can add bbq sauce, but the meat could easily stand alone. The mac and cheese pasta shells had a nice cheddar taste, and the cheesy grits were just a bit too thick (but I'm nit picking there). This place had much better bbq than we could ever dream of in New Mexico. For that wonderful lunch, I paid $19. Well worth the price if you consider the quality and taste of the food. If you're ever in Tulsa for lunch, other than a Sunday or Monday, stop by here. Just remember to come early or the selection could be extremely limited. read more

So excited for another BBQ spot in town. I would say this place does a lot of things well but def could step up a few things. We got a mix of ribs, brisket and jalapeño sausage with beans and slaw. The ribs were great, not overly smokey, a little over cooked in my opinion but still great and hard to find any other ribs comparable from a restaurant. The brisket was good, cooked well, just needed a little more black pepper to have that Texas flavor I was hunting for. The sausage was also great, spicy with a good snap. The sides are where things are lacking. The beans were so plain and unexciting. No bbq flavor at all, reminds me of just brown beans. Added some of both sauces and it helped. The slaw was also somewhat lacking balance it was just sweet and creamy, a splash of vinegar would really elevate the flavors. The sauce was also nothing special, I'm not generally a big bbq sauce girl bc I like to actually taste the meat but I think both the regular (really sweet) and the vinegar (needs balance, pretty much tastes just like acv) could use improving. Overall I was happy with it, commercial BBQ is challenging to get right and these guys are on the right track. read more

We were on our way to another restaurant when we saw this place. It's been getting a lot of buzz lately so we decided to stop in. I got the brisket plate and my husband got the pulled pork sandwich. Pros: Cleanish restaurant and bathrooms. Accepts credit cards. Not the worst BBQ in Tulsa. I'd eat here again if it was someone else's choice. Cons: parking a pain. Open inconvenient hours. Not the best BBQ in Tulsa. Everything was just OK. The brisket was moist, but not that flavorful. The sauces were decent. read more
