I've been eating Rubicon since I was a little boy when it was located by Tulsa Central High School. I have known the family that owns and operates it for almost my entire life and they have always produced a quality food experience. The baked potato's are a staple in town and they are the spot you must visit when you come to Tulsa. I usually get a hotline potato but today I'm trying the Shrimp Potato as I'm fasting from other proteins for a few weeks. It was exquisite and would highly recommend it for anyone who loves seafood. The wings and fries are always a hit too but you can never go wrong with a potato. The service is always fast and efficient and sometimes a wait if it's crazy busy but a great spot is going to be busy. The vibe is welcoming and chill when there is live music and on Thursdays they have what is called 'Rubicon Live' for the music lovers. If you have never been you should definitely visit. read more

Rubicon Restaurant - Loaded Baked Potato - Barbeque Near Me - Tulsa, Oklahoma

The food was excellent and the ambience was nice. Service was okay but we had to wait over 45 minutes for our food.

Idk if cooks or owners changed but I got the worst spud ever! Brisket was burnt black and tasted old a couple days, the spud was so dry - no butter, no bbq sauce I honestly should of returned it and asked for a refund. Online ordering is great, but the quality was terrible! read more

Rubicon Restaurant - Shrimp baked potatoes - Barbeque Near Me - Tulsa, Oklahoma

I've been eating Rubicon potatoes since 2007 when it was in 3rd and Peoria! I've had family member come in from up north and eat them and love those potatoes! A classic Tulsa staple! read more

I drove 25 minutes in order to get some smoked wings and a loaded baked potato. When I got home, the baked potato was completely burnt. The potato was brown on the inside. I called the restaurant and they did offer to replace the potato if I brought it back in, but as I indicated to the lady, it was a very long drive. What is most disturbing is when they open up the potato before they put all the toppings on they can clearly see that the potato is burnt, but decided to sell it to me anyway. I will no longer eat from this establishment nor will I recommend it. The reason I drove the 25 minutes is because Rubicon is supposedly known for their baked potatoes. I guess that that is a bad depiction because the potato was absolutely awful. read more

Hands down, best loaded potato in town. If you're expecting a potato cracked open with some stuff inside, you're wrong. One of their loaded potatoes is easily two meals and they LOAD it. No joke. read more

We love this place, the best food in town. I have been getting the loaded brisket potatoes for years and they hit every time! Go on Thursdays for some awesome music by a local band!! Be sure to have some time though because they make their food with love so it may take a little longer but its WORTH IT! Order ahead if you are getting it to go. read more

Good food loved the atmosphere a great place to eat and enjoy the music. Been eating there for about 9 years now. Don't skip a beat!

terrible with tine management. If you have to be back to work on time from lunch, dont go here. food is good though. ‍

I've been eating the loaded potatoes from rubicons since 2016 or 2017 and absolutely refuse to get them from anywhere else, even when i moved to Dallas. I love them so much and their service is always impeccable, especially during covid they setup outside areas to pick and place orders to maintain distance. Such a cute family owned bbq spot. Definitely recommend!! read more

What a find! I had no idea this place existed but I'm so glad I found it. We've recently been exploring lunch options around the area as my wife just started a new job that way. We've found a few spots but this is by far the winner! I almost drove right past it. Building is large and the parking lot was empty when we arrived. One person exited with a carry out order, we entered. When you first walk in you're on the patio, then inside another set of doors to a cash register. The lady took our order (two brisket potatoes and two waters $20). We weren't sure whether we could dine in or not, but there were plenty of empty tables so we sat. Soon after about the restaurant filled up with patrons and out food was delivered to the table wrapped up togo. We followed the lead of the other patrons and opened our meals and enjoyed! The potato was cooked perfectly throughout and topped with a generous portion of brisket, cheese, ranch, and bbq sauce. There was also a small salad and two pieces of Texas toast! We both are every bite. We will definitely be back soon! read more

Today I ordered online one sweet potato pie and I assumed that I could pick it up right away. I ended up waiting 45 minutes and I don't understand why. The parking lot was empty and business was slow. When staff understood my poor experience, they offered a free drink. I think that demonstrates a lack of customer service, a refund or a $5 coupon would have been more appropriate. read more

Oh man. I've heard about Rubicon for YEARS, but never made it out until now. I definitely will be back, even though this place is in a kind of shady part of town. I got the beef brisket potato, which is a baked potato covered with cheese, brisket, and BBQ sauce. It also came with a side of toast and salad. It was delish. It was about $10 for the meal. Only bummer is that you have to pay for water. read more

Rubicon Restaurant - a meal in a styrofoam container - Barbeque Near Me - Tulsa, Oklahoma

I eat at Rubicons whenever I am in Tulsa. The food is good and always served piping hot! Today my server Gail didn't hear my order and missed the Turkey and shrimp on my potato--honest mistake. Rather than honoring my request to purchase the items on the side, Gail proceeded to tell me how precise her order taking skills are and refused to allow the purchase of the missed items. I guess at Rubicon's the customer is right unless they are up against Gail's impeccable memory! How difficult would it have been to just sell me the missing protein--I was willing to pay Gail... Oh well! Next time I will yell! read more

This is great BBQ and how can you go wrong with a baked potato with the meat of your choice pilled on top. So yummy!

do not get the new fish it is extremely high and you only get two nuggets of fish very small not cooked fresh tiugh and fries are soggy. worst item on the menu. read more

Rubicon never disappoints! Always friendly! Always fresh! Always great! I get the giant baked potato loaded with yummy bbq brisket with lots of bbq sauce and drizzled with ranch dressing. Served with a side salad with ranch and Texas toast! It's bomb! I highly recommend it!! It's a lunchtime favorite for sure!! read more

Rubicon Restaurant - Barbeque Near Me - Tulsa, Oklahoma

Got the brisket & chicken with a side salad and some toast yesterday. Excellent potatoes! Best potatoes in this side of Tulsa! Only complaint, I wish they had a "build you're own potato & build your own salad" meal. Like together , instead of separate. Either way though 10/10 read more

Have you had a smoked potato because if not, you are doing yourself a grave disservice. Being in Oklahoma/Midwest you can get a BBQ potato are just about....well everywhere. None of them NONE are are delicious, flavorful or generous as Rubicon. They smoke their potato as well as the meat & it makes all the difference. You cannot get this anywhere else. All BBQ potatoes are served with your choice of meat, a side salad, and a piece of bread. Definitely big enough for two to split for lunch (or dinner.) Great prices, delicious food, interesting space. It issss a bit slow is you're in a rush but why rush with BBQ this good? I know they have other things on the menu but I've never cared to try them‍ read more

Definitely a hole in the wall when you walk in. HOWEVER, the food is fantastic! I got my order to go, so I wasn't looking for a dine-in experience. It has been many years since I've had a Rubicon potato due to living out of state. However, I'm back & will be a frequent patron of this business! read more

I must say. This was an interesting lunch. The things they did to potatoes was out this world. The brisket was go good. The shrimp scampi and chicken we cooked perfectly. I enjoyed every last bite. I must say I would go again. You get what you pay for and there you get full!!!! Go and try it out!!! read more

Asking for your detailed order just doesn't work when its not followed through by the kitchen....why ask? Third time will not be charm. Too many incorrect orders to go w the high pricing; we will not be returning. Signed, Disappointed Loyal Customers read more

I want the original Rubicon potatoes back! Last two times I've attempted to enjoy a potato it has been money down the drain . Food over cooked with a side of pepper is what I've received. Potatoes: chicken and hot links read more

This is the best barbecue potato in Tulsa. Visually beautiful. Unforgettably tasty. Dressed and seasoned to perfection. Adorned with the perfect accoutrements (salad, toast) on the side. The venue is a bit Spartan, and drinks are only available by the bottle (they were out of water, so soda was the only option). You order at the counter at seat yourself. ESPN was playing on the TV. A little-heralded gustatory gem on the north side. I'll be back--often. read more

I just love this place it's so good good service and good food call ahead if your ordering to go my favorite is the potato with 2 meat I get double chopped brisket comes with a small side salad an toast. There deserts are also really good the strawberry cake is my go to! read more

BBQ potatoes were a thing before I tried them at Rubicon, but I will say I never fully appreciated how amazing they could be until I had a fully loaded BBQ brisket potato from here. The sauce they put on the top with the BBQ sauce is a little tangy and sweet and just totally scrumptious. The meat is cooked to perfection as well as the smoked potato. That pretty much says right there what sets the Rubicon potato apart from a BBQ potato anywhere else: they smoke their potatoes and the sauce is unique. The BBQ potatoes are served with your choice of meat, a side salad, and a piece of bread. The service here is always really good, however, sometimes there is a bit of a wait when they aren't super busy. This is true of the restaurant and the food truck that sells the same menu items. read more

The best potato around, and they are the original. The BBQ there isn't bad either, they have good options

In Tulsa on biz, it was a chilly day, a baked potato sure sounded good. While Yelping, found the Rubicon. Curious why so few review, what reviews there were are all great. After talking to tenured Tulsans, this place has a great a reputation at its previous location. Found the place really neat inside. Then came the spud. Wow! Huge potato, lots of brisket and other stuff. The side salad that comes with it had great dressing. Add their lemonade and simply put - a fabulous meal! So what a find! Close enough to the office for frequent lunches! You bet! read more

This has been the best meal I have had in Tulsa in 6 months to a year. Friendly staff. read more

This place is good but I was wanting shrimps on the side and you cannot have shrimps on the side like why if I'm paying you still for the side order of shrimps we deserve to be able to pay for a side of shrimps or only just shrimps if we would like I dislike this option on having to buy a potato to be able to have shrimps 1 star for not being able to have a side order of shrimps with my meal I didn't enjoy. read more

Came in order two potatoes warm with hot links and one with beef the other one was with beef no cheese no barbecue sauce a dry potato and that's not cool and then on top of that they wouldn't answer the phone after 8 o'clock read more

Let me tell you, this joint has the cure for what ills you. I cannot recommend this place enough. Sooo Good.

I loved it had a baked potato that feed the wife & I definitely recommend to anyone you won't be disappointed
