    After my first visit at Swadley's, I was back in El Reno again a few weeks later and had to try more of their ribs and brisket and it was even better or at least I was hungrier! Lol! I wasn't disappointed and toted plenty of ribs, brisket, and several sides to a family gathering and they were happier than happy and when we finished there was nothing left! More later...

    Reuben was extremely kind and helpful! Kinda cute too! Really loved the atmosphere! Food was amazing!

    Great stop. I didn't know there are multiple locations. The food was delicious and side of iced tea (mixed sweet and non sweet). I had burnt ends on a salad. The salad came with chicken but I substituted. The BBQ sauce was excellent. They have three choices and all are good. They serve the sauce heated (nice touch) I also had the fries which were cooked perfectly. My husband had the brisket sandwich

As I walked in I got a small-town, rustic, cozy community-centered vibe. The waitresses knew people by name and checked in on everyone. The decor was a collection of special items and memories. (When people like their experience they squeeze a rubber chicken on their way out. I'm short so just imagine I squeezed it. Lol) The smell of slow cooked meat on a smoker hits your nose and stays with you all day. I ordered a pulled pork sandwich with fries and coleslaw. And a 1/2 pound of sliced brisket to-go. The pulled pork was moist and had a great flavor. Very good. I even liked the coleslaw, which I usually don't. Later my family tried the sliced brisket and it was a hit. Super moist and a little fatty. It fell apart and melted in your mouth. Yum! It was definitely worth the trip out there. Between the atmosphere, friendly service and delicious tasting food, this restaurant gets high praise. well deserved stars! (I'll make sure to post my reviews online as well.) Thanks guys!

    Oklahoma Smoke. Moore OK. 07/23/66…read more The fatty brisket, excellent! The ribs as well. So tender and juicy. The sausage was , tasted like Eckrich skinless sausages. Was expecting some bigger pieces with a bite. The pulled pork, on the dryer side without the sauce. The chicken, tender and moist. The sides . 2 Southside Platters and 10 sides later for $212. wasn't a bad price for everyone it fed. Will I order again, yes!!! Just the brisket, ribs and chicken. The Smoke Bombs, just YES!

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.

We were seated and served by the sweetest waitress…read moreand I think she and our little almost two-year old grandson had a great time entertaining each other. Honestly the sliced brisket left a lot to be desired and I do not think that it is the same product as the burnt ends. I am wondering if the burnt ends were from prime brisket and maybe the sliced brisket is from a lesser quality beef. That would make sense because the brisket burnt ends were absolutely divine and had lots of crispy bark that I just love. I was not really impressed by the bologna burnt ends and the mustard sauce. The bologna burnt ends lacked smokiness for me and I just did not enjoy the taste of the mustard (I normally love all mustards). So, let me tell you about the fried okra. I could eat a whole pound of that.....with ranch dressing of course. The finest fried okra!!!!!! We also loved the homemade pickles. I will always order homemade pickles if the option is available. These were great and we sure enjoyed the leftover bites! I would like to leave a little review that I think my little grandson would have left if he could type, use a computer and know all of his words. "I was really fond of the bbq beef but the standouts to me would have to be the mac n cheese and the championship bbq beans. In fact, I loved the bbq beans so much and got so excited that I put my forehead in the beans that my mommy put on my little child's placemat. After that all of the exursions of eating my food, playing with my food, flirting with our waitress and showing off my baby blues; I started yawning. I am not sure if it was the meat fatigue or the carb coma. Mommy and Daddy thought it was time to leave at that point and I agreed to cooperate as my bbq bean juice dyed hair was getting pretty sticky." I would definitely come in again and maybe try some other items. I would definitely get the prime brisket burnt ends again. Oh yes, AND THE OKRA and whatever my grandson wants, of course!
