    Loaded spud with brisket
    Mary H.

    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!

    Shrimp baked potatoes
    Jacinta F.

    Omg this place is so amazing the shrimp potato is what I get everytime I go in there. I never been and when I went for the very first time. I have been going back. I drive 2hrs from Wewoka just to go get a baked potato from them. I'm so hooked

    Brisket potato w salad and bread

    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.

    Brisket potato, salad, and toast.

    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!

    Brisket and smoked bologna potato.

    This potato was amazing. I thoroughly enjoyed everything about it. I will definitely be back. The meats were smoked to perfection, super flavorful, and well portioned. Loved it!

    My husband and I love getting food from here. Best potatoes ever! Every full potato comes with a side of toast & salad and the potato is topped with bbq sauce & ranch.

    Beef brisket potato
    Irena T.

    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.

    Large delicious potato! Comes with salad and toast (toast not in pic) the BBQ brisket is very good and has a smoky taste, the BBQ sauce is sweet and tangy. Will be back!

    Albert G's Bar-B-Q (Tulsa Hills) Disappointing Delivery Experience…read moreI ordered dinner for delivery from Albert G's Bar-B-Q at the Tulsa Hills location, and unfortunately the food did not meet expectations. The ribs lacked seasoning and didn't taste smoked. The Polish sausage had very little flavor. The chopped brisket was dry and under-seasoned. The baked beans were not cooked properly and were unpleasant to eat. The mac and cheese tasted like it was made with Velveeta and lacked flavor. The only items that were enjoyable were the barbecue sauce and the bread. My ratings: * Ribs: 4/10 * Polish sausage: 2/10 * Chopped brisket: 4.5/10 * Baked beans: 1/10 * Macaroni & cheese: 3/10 * Barbecue sauce: 5/10 I'm sharing this feedback in hopes that the kitchen can make some improvements better seasoning, proper smoking, and more care with sides could really make a difference. I'd like to see this location step things up in the future.

They definitely have their own twist on things. The sweet potatoes were good but a little heavy on the nutmeg. They tasted like a mix of apple and pumpkin pie. The mac and cheese was really creamy. I really liked the horseradish coleslaw. I'm not a big fan of collard greens but I still tried them and actually thought they were pretty good. For our mains, two of us had the brisket and one had ribs. Both were super good. There were 4 different sauces. I recommend trying them all. I wanted to try the sausage but they were sold out. I guess you need to get there earlier than an hour before they closed. We finished with a couple desserts. The banana pudding was probably the best I've had. Their seasonal cobbler was blueberry and very tasty! I was hoping for peach. Maybe next time. Yes there will definitely be a next time. It was a lot of food so we had plenty left over that ate for lunch the next day. The atmosphere is super friendly and really clean. Like most barbecue places I've been to there is no table service. You order and pay at the counter. Then depending on how busy they are they will bring your food to your table or have you pick up at the counter. For me the cherry on top is their pay it forward meal. For $15 you can buy a meal for someone in need. They hand you a receipt that you pin to a board. Then when someone needs a meal they can go in and grab one off the board. They offer them their lunch special. While I was there I saw a very grateful individual come in and get a meal. The staff were super nice and treated them just like any other customer. Great food! Great service! Great value! Do yourself a favor and try this place!

We ordered the tri tip dip sandwich which was the highlight of the meal. It was delicious. We also ordered the grilled chicken sandwich and that was full of flavor. The focaccia was on the dryer side and the chicken didn't fill out the bun so it was just kind of off texture wise and lacking fullness but the favor was 10/10. The chips and red onion dip were a nice little touch. Something I've never had before and we enjoyed it

The beef rib was melt in the mouth, succulent and perfectly seasoned. My bbq soul is complete. Their bbq sauce they have is fantastic and their other sauces are killer too! The service was fantastic. They were extremely nice and helpful. It's a food truck so I'm sure they move around but this time they were located behind American Solera. I can confidently say they are the bbq masters of Tulsa.

    Stop, stop, STOP. Whatever else you're thinking about going to eat, just forget about it…read more You've found the place you're looking for. 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.

The decor is all about BBQ and blues. This is definitely no corporate contrived eatery. There is a genuine feel of the bluesy barbecue world. We ordered the Nelson's plate for 2. We substituted the bologna and hot link for chicken and pulled pork. The barbecue is the real thing. The beans have a Smokey sweet flavor that is perhaps the best bbq beans in Oklahoma if not the country. The pulled pork was also tender and sweet, expertly cooked. The brisket was tender and easy to chew. The ribs were perhaps the second weakest part of the meal. That said I have eaten worse in most places in Tulsa. They were tender but in my opinion could have been better. The chicken was the weakest part of the meal. It was a bit dry but tolerable. The potato salad was creamy soft with just a slight hint of vinegar you expect to taste in potato salad in a perfect balance of flavors and textures. We ordered the Mac and cheese was very cheesy and included a cheese pull with a slight funk in the aftertaste that makes it very different dish from the standard offering at other places. While I'm not a sauce user I tasted the sweet and the hot sauces. The sweet was very sweet and the hot definitely hit with a sting I normally avoid but I'm sure would be welcome to the well initiated. I definitely recommend Elmer's barbecue for those pining for blues and barbecue

    Stutts BBQ in Tulsa hits you with that rare, disarming warmth where the food is great, sure, but…read morethe real hook is the feeling that you just wandered into someone's family kitchen and they decided to feed you until you stop talking. The chopped brisket carries that perfect Tulsa flavor. It's not trying to be Austin, it's not chasing trends, it's just deeply smoked, tender, and unapologetically saucy in a way that makes you rethink why you ever bothered with sliced brisket at all. The ribs come out with that gentle tug, not the fall apart nonsense, the kind of rib that tells you the pitmaster actually respects the craft. And the hot links bring the heat in that slow, creeping way that makes you nod to yourself like, yeah, this is the right kind of trouble. But the buttermilk pie is the closer. The secret handshake. The thing that makes you sit back in your chair and realize you're not in a restaurant, you're in a home that just happens to have a smoker out back. It's creamy, tangy, sweet, and somehow nostalgic even if you've never had it before. It's the dish that makes you text someone immediately. Stutts isn't polished. It isn't corporate. It's lived in. It's warm. It's the kind of place where the food tastes like someone actually cares about you. And that's the whole point.
