    I finally caught wind to swadleys breakfast, I walked in around 9:55 am I wasn't aware breakfast ended at 10am. I felt so bad, the cashier Jayden was so pleasant he was like don't worry. If the menu is up you can still order. It wasn't too busy, very quiet music playing low. Mostly just staff cleaning and preparing for lunch and dinner. These breakfast tacos are so good! The salsa on the side is the perfect combination. I tried both salsas, I can't even say I like one more than the other. They are both good! Don't judge me I also tried the nanner puddin for breakfast. I needed that sugar rush to start my morning. I enjoyed my entire breakfast!

    1/2lb Chicken Fried Steak

    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.

    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

    I've lived here for 13 years and realized I never tried "Oklahoma BBQ." After some Google searching…read moreand looking at about 10 options, I chose King's BBQ due to their mom & pop vibes and great reviews. We tried most of the meats as I got the 5 meat, my dad got the 3 meat, and my gf got the ham. We were all very impressed and are likely to return. My only minor complaint is that burnt ends were sold out by the middle of dinner. We didn't come that late or anything. The 3 and 5 meat plates are kind of hard to fill out without duplicates and without burnt ends. So it would be nice to either have more burnt ends or allow duplicates on the large meat plates. But I get why that may not happen. I had to fill my 5 meat plate with various sausage which were good but hard to eat a lot of due to how rich they are. Of course, the 5 meat plate was ridiculous to begin with so that's on me, lol. I thought the portions would be smaller, but I appreciate the generous sizing. All in all, we had a good experience.

The layout is well thought out, with a convenient entrance for to-go orders and seating available while you wait. As you walk in, you're greeted by a long entryway lined with their awards, and it's clear they take pride in what they've accomplished. The staff is friendly and attentive, and the experience stood out even more when the manager personally stepped in to seat us instead of making us wait. That level of involvement says a lot about how they run things. The food was amazing! The burger I really liked, it was cooked just as I asked and had a good smoke flavor even if it wasn't cooked on a wood fire grill but a flat top. The brisket was great, the fries and I have to say I didn't hate anything. I absolutely loved everything. Even the strawberry lemonade was delicious. I liked the sweet competition sauce but their original kc sauce was just right with its peppery sweet taste. The restaurant is clean, well-lit, and gives you a clear view of the food you're about to enjoy. Overall, it's a welcoming spot with great energy and attention to detail. Definitely recommend.

I actually heard about it while doing what I do best: eavesdropping. As in, eavesdropping on another traveler in the same rental car line as I was, asking the attendant who had the best BBQ in town. I instantly saved Clark Crew on Yelp and found time to head over the next day! Their menu was so extensive, I had to enjoy half of my frosty pint of beer while I decided on a combo plate. Folks, this thing was immense - a heaping pile of meat, sides, and their legendary pickles. (Don't forget to ask for the pickles!) To be honest, it was too much. I could barely get through half of it before sheepishly requesting a to go box so I could wolf down the rest later at my hotel. And yes, the BBQ was delicious. A great combo of smoky, smooth, and rich. If I hadn't been carry-on only, I would have grabbed a couple of bottles of their sauce to take home. The service here was over-the-top amazing, too. I wish I remembered my server's name, but I remember that she was awesome. And also excited to hear that I'd never been to OKC before!

    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.
