    1/2lb Chicken Fried Steak
    Pamela H.

    We got here at 12:30 pm on a Thursday afternoon and they were busy. We were in the mood for a chicken fried steak. We of course got the okra and we decided to try the mac n cheese. The chicken fry was delicious. Lightly battered, thin and no gristle. The okra is hot and plentiful. We weren't crazy about the mac n cheese. Noodles were slightly overcooked and needed more salt. It was creamy. We met Lucky who was in mgmt and had a great conversation. We hope to see him again. We enjoy going into places and seeing the same employees. Feels like seeing family in a good way. Ice cream was good. Restaurant was clean.

    Side Hashbrown Bites

    $13.00 for this small portion. Mind you this just potatoes even asked if they could give a few more the answer was no. Over priced.. Rockwell location I wont be returning to. DONT RECOMMEND 2 thumbs DOWN Theyd rather refund $13.00 than to lose 5¢ for giving me a few more. Ill just stick to Braums. Better price cleaner meal. If there was a 0 star option, I'd choose it.

    Was overcharged... ordered 3... one meat dinners was charged for 2 meat dinners ..waitress acted like she was not happy about being at work and cashier was not paying attention had to ask her 3 times for a to go menu...and to top all that off you should not post political views all over your store..keep that at home ...I will never be back and niether will my friends or family......83.73 not worth it should of went to caddlemans for that price

    The customer service is top tier for being a regular restaurant!!! Family friendly and the vibes is homey also everyone's having conversations and good times. The setting is clean and very well taken care of. Now the food is good for a bbq spot. We enjoyed ourselves very much belly, welly, jelly

    Ribs, Sausage, Potato Salad, and Jalapeño Sweet Corn.

    Just flew into town and had to grab me some dinner. I made a great choice here. Love the full service they offer. Food was amazingly good loved the ribs nice and sticky good. Eggs in the potato salad with paprika dusted on top was fantastic. The corn was fantastic too. Sausage was good too. I tried two of the bbq sauces. Honey sweet and Spicy Both definitely need to be tried. I definitely suggest adding this place to the must visit locations to eat.

We watched people sing happy birthday w a giant slice of strawberry shortcake. Great portions! We ordered the judges plate and added the burnt ends along w a small side of sweet cream corn. The food! Cornbread was on point! Not grainy, overly sweet, or dry! Soft, not bitter. Champion beans are delicious, smoky, seasoned just right. Mac & cheese!!! OMG! It's just right!! Creamy, full flavor, and not bitter. Sweet cream corn, I mean, you should try it, ask for a small sample so you can decide! Burnt ends!!!! You cannot leave this place w/o trying them. We added it for an additional $4 and it was worth it! The brisket had a nice smoke ring, full of flavor. Soft and not dry at all! Juicy. The chicken fell off the bone. Tender. Well seasoned. The pull pork was perhaps my favorite. On its own it was delicious but adding some of the world champion sauce and the spicy sauce together just took it there!! Hands down, glad we made that turn and drove the extra 10m to this place on our way to California.

I came in for a late lunch and service was quick. A little too quick though... I was in the middle of my meal and the server brought the check over to me BUT NOW ON TO DISCUSSING THE FOOD! The burnt ends were delicious! The broccoli and the bbq beans didn't quite meet the mark for me though. But the cornbread and that whipped butter tied it all back together for me! The prices on their website online are accurate :) I would come back to try the prime brisket French dip sandwich!

The portions and ribs were huge! Our sides were in 1cup serving cups and full. The broccoli slaw was my favorite. I'm not a fan of stewed green beans or canned because they can be mushy, but the beans were firm and tasty. They let us taste all the sides before we chose which was really nice. The bbq baked beans were sweet and the potato salad was good as well. We didn't try the banana pudding dessert, but it must be good, people are buying it in buckets to take home. The ribs are extremely meaty and the brisket was my favorite, but I'm a brisket fan. My only negative is that I wanted a pickle with my meal, but the server used the same tongs to grab the pickle as the pickled jalapeño and onions. Very tasty.

The staff was super friendly and I appreciated how they answered all the questions that I had. I guarantee I will be going back to this place.

The interior was clean with the aroma of barbecue, and I was greeted once I came through the door. I am a huge supporter of our military and first responders, so immediately noticed the decor - rustic like most barbecue places, but decorated with first responder and military memorabilia. At noon they played the National Anthem, complete with a televised flag. Erik helped me narrow down what I wanted from the simple, albeit hard to decide what I wanted menu. To the management - Erik is a keeper! He was friendly, joyful, did not rush me, and VERY helpful - even to the point of helping move a couple of tables and chairs so our group could sit together! He even took part in some ribbing at one point, joining in on the laughter. Give him a raise or bonus! Now the food - between all of us, I think we had a good sampling of most everything, including the seasonal Black Plate special. I couldn't decide if I wanted the lean or moist brisket, so Erik helped me settle on the combo and get a little of both. Had trouble deciding on a side as well, which is when Erik told me I could have a sample of a side - wow! I ended up eith the fresh cut fries. Fries were delicious, not overly seasoned, which I appreciated as I hate it when they are oversalted. Brisket was tender and flavorful. Side note - deciding which sauce to use of the 6 to chose from was tough, they all were tasty! Food reviews from everyone was stellar, with everyone enjoying their selections. The person who ordered the Black Plate special - which was a smoked steak, complete with compound butter - said it was delicious. Overall a great experience, and we will be back!

    Double D's is a delivery service providing quality BBQ across Oklahoma City. They're so popular…read morethat if you wait until the last minute to order, they might be all sold out for that day. Therefore, you order well in advance. I ordered around 9:45 am: Sampler, to be delivered at noon. Delivery was at exactly noon as requested. The Sampler from Double D's is a great value; $20 (including delivery!) for Ribs, Brisket, Pulled Pork, Hot Links, Smoked Sausage, Wings, Baked Beans, Mac n Cheese, Potato Salad, Cornbread. The only downside was that my meal did not come with any utensils or sauces. Perhaps this was an accidental omission? It's mostly unfortunate because sauce(s) would have helped several of the meats. I ended up using the baked beans as a functional sauce which might have even been better than traditional BBQ sauce (spoiler alert: I love the baked beans). The sides... Potato Salad: I'm not a fan of potato salad, so I don't hold it against them that this side did nothing for me. Mac n Cheese: I very much *do* like Mac n Cheese. A delicious combo pasta and cheese, this side does its job well. Pairs especially nicely with the sausage, hot links, and brisket. Baked Beans: Superb. Truly the best baked beans I've ever had. There are tiny pieces of chopped brisket which makes the side heartier than usual baked beans. Especially good with the... Cornbread: Dense, crumbly, decadent. By itself it's fine, but in tandem with another element (for example: the baked beans), it's fantastic. I would eat an entire meal of the cornbread and beans. So good. The meats... Wings: Smaller sized chicken wings, but packed with flavor. Everything edible falls off the bone, so eating them is not the usual messy wings situation. Very good. Brisket: Good BBQ staple. In Oklahoma, brisket is the go-to BBQ cut, and Double D's makes good brisket. Would have benefitted from BBQ sauce. Hot links & Sausage: Both are tasty. The hot links have a snappy casing around spicy meat. The sausage are smokier and mellower with spices. They're cut identically, but the hot links' red hue differentiates it from the browner sausage. Ribs: Quality cuts, smoked long enough so that the meat falls off the bone. Would have benefitted from sauce to give it some hydration and complimentary flavors. Pulled Pork: My favorite even though pulled pork is usually not my BBQ preference. The seasonings on this pork hit just right--pronounced but not overbearing. Like the brisket and ribs, the pulled pork could have used some sauce. Fortunately, the baked beans worked well as a substitute. Overall: I was very pleased with my first meal from Double D's. For $20, the sampler provides at least 2 meals' worth of meat.

This review is for the Double D food truck, which is opening a restaurant in October. The truck is parked at Portland Ave. and NW 17th on Fridays and Saturdays, which is where the restaurant will be. The food speaks for itself. The best pulled pork I've had anywhere in Oklahoma, and tied with the best I've had in Georgia, Tennessee, Kansas...Hands down, far and away, the best collards I've had anywhere, ever. (Please don't tell my grandfather I said that.) Seriously, the greens, I didn't even know they could be that good. Bonus that the two guys running it are super friendly, and clearly know their 'q. The food truck (an old travel camper) is nothing fancy to look at, but they have all their health and business permits right on the window, and whatever they're doing, it clearly more-than-works. My husband and I stopped here a couple weekends ago while spending the Summer in OKC. We both got the pulled pork sandwiches (special for the day), potato salad, and collards. The prices were standard and the servings were generous. I only wish we went sooner and more often. For anyone who lives in OKC, consider yourself fortunate with great food like this. For anyone who travels for food, this is a place to go. We'll definitely be back.
