Traveling thru OKC and wanted to try local food. What a great experience! We ordered the sampler and every meat selection was cooked with flavor and tenderness. Three bbq sauces were great. The best part was customer service!! Everyone was friendly and happy to be there. We cannot remember the last restaurant that treated us so well. Karley and Arian were great and friendly. Definitely recommend stopping here! read more

Stopped in the other day for the first time just see how it as. I ordered 1/4 lb burnt ends and a 1/4 lb of sliced moist brisket and asked for heavy bark on the brisket. The first thing that got my attention was when they rang it ip, each item had "+$2.99" next to it. The cashier said they up charge for brisket products and asked if that was OK. I said it's fine and paid. Honestly I was caught slightly off-guard but I was hungry and didn't have a lot of time. While waiting for my food I looked back at the menu and at my receipt. I realized why I was confused. The menu clearly states the price per lb for Burnt Ends, for Brisket and for their other meat options. So my issue is, if you're pricing those individual items by the lb already, why do you also add an upcharge. I've seen other restaurants have one price per lb for all their meets and then an extra charge for brisket products. But never been charge over what the advertised price is for that specific item. On to the food. The brisket was not horrible but certainly not great. Not very smoky and I did not get any resemblance of heavy bark. Just a little along the edge of each piece. The burnt ends on the other hand were good. They were tender and flavored nicely. Overall, I'd be hesitant to go back just because of their pricing policy. It makes it pretty expensive for what it is. I don't mind paying top dollar for good BBQ, but this ain't it. read more

The flavor is there for BBQ burnt ends but there's a surcharge of $3.24 to sub the burnt end meat. Do not get it for the bake potato coz you will only get 5 cubes of burnt ends which was very disappointing. Also, the "loaded" bake potato didn't come with the chives. I left the place still hungry to say the least. read more

We had a wonderful lunch at Swadley's barbecue restaurant in Midwest city. We shared the sampler platter so we could try all the different meats; they were amazing! Misty was our server and she was so very friendly. We would definitely recommend giving it a try. read more

95% of the time if we dine in, the food is exactly how I expect it to be which is good, I love their lean sliced brisket 95% of the time. BUT, the last 2 times I've ordered on line and pickup to take home 15-20 minutes away, the brisket has been inedible and today it was absolutely gross. Don't know if they aren't reading the order or they give the meat that no one will want to the take out customers but I will NEVER pick up without thoroughly examining first, which if you were actually doing your job, would not and should not be necessary. The wanted me to drive back from MCLOUD to redo it or give me a refund. read more

One of the best places to experience a quality salad bar! For $11.99 you get two trips to the salad bar or a big sized to go box. I hate that they stopped serving ham on the menu but the rest of the meats are always good! I heard they also do breakfast, which I can't wait to try! read more

I had real high hopes for this location but unfortunately this spot was a let down and my bbq hopes were destroyed. However I usually eat at the location on a Western and this location does not match up. I recently moved to Midwest City and I wanted to try this location. I ordered the Oklahoma sampler as I always do. The portion was quite small and the sides of corn and deviled potato salad was the saving grace of the meal. I really hope this location turns it around, otherwise Swadley's bbq will lose a very loyal customer. read more

The best Waitress there is Shawnna! She greets everybody makes you feel welcome! she Assist whether you're in her section or not she never lets your tea run dry read more

The worst Swadley's location. Portions are nothing like other locations. Steak fingers were dry and had been cooked awhile. So disappointing. read more

Mediocre at best. For an order at stand. Took for ever to get food. Single small thing of sauce. I do not get why anyone likes this place.

Courtney was AMAZING! This is my first time at swadleys and she made me and my family feel right at home. From her attitude to her quick response to our needs. She is definitely someone that other servers could take some lessons from. When I come back to swadleys I will be requesting Courtney as my server. read more

Ask for Chloe!!! She will not disappoint! I no longer sat down and she was ready to take our drink order. Drinks and food came out very promptly. Chloe was very accommodating to my daughter as well. She assisted her with some delicious ice cream! Because of this legendary experience, I will be back! And you bet your boots I'll be asking for our new favorite waitress, Chloe!!!!!! read more

Not my favorite barbecue spot but a decent fast dinner when that's what you're looking for. I had the smoked chicken salad and subbed turkey instead. Good BBQ sauce, great ranch (it is Oklahoma lol). Hubs had the catfish & okra and enjoyed it, but the hush puppies were a bit greasy & underdone. Service is a bit iffy when it's busy--we got our food before our drinks and had to wait a bit before our waiter stopped by. read more

The food and service is always great every time. The food always taste the same. prices are fair.

Awesome service, great burnt ends, and a cool atmosphere! Would definitely go back here with a huge appetite!!

Amazing food and service! Not sure how they only have a three star rating! Everything super fresh and super clean.

These people should be tried as criminals for what they are doing to "Burnt Ends". These are absolutely not burnt ends. They just take their dry as sand brisket and smother it hoping it will softened the brisket... it does not . Their brisket is a crime against BBQ. I ordered a brisket sandwich and said no less than 4 times that I wanted the fattiest cut possible. I got the driest most bland brisket . In short don't order the brisket Sides are ok. read more

Ribs very good most all the food we ate was very good! Price just a little bit high but it was worth it! Will visit again soon !

I order from here all the time, food is always good. I'm only writing this review because iHad food delivered today and the driver left without getting their cash tip. I feel so bad!! and if you see this, know iRan outside to give you the tip but you were already gone :/ edit: the brisket weren't burnt at all this time read more

Brenden was great! He really hopped to it and brought us everything we needed! The food was delicious and free ice cream!

We have been driving on Hwy 40 for about 9 hours. We wanted to find a place with real food, not fast food, and sit down and have a late lunch early dinner. We saw the billboard for Swadley's and this location was perfect for our travel path east to Tennessee. The menu was impressive and we went with the 2 meat platter. The burnt ends were moist, juicy, flavorful! The pulled pork was perfection!! The brisket makes you moan!!! The green beans are peppery and remind you of your grandma's house. The Mac and cheese is creamy and the perfect match for a cold winter day. We added a salad bar and the presentation was fresh and crisp with so many selections!! The restaurant is an open concept with ample seating. They have tvs so you can see what is happening as you dine. The kitchen is massive and super clean! The staff was patient, curious and efficient. Leah was our waitress and was such a delight to talk with and a very hard worker. We wish we lived closer!! We loved it so much we ordered brisket and burnt ends to go and packed them in our cooler to have when we finally make it home. Only 900 miles to go!! Thanks Swadley's for a delicious home cooked meal ' read more

I'm nabbed the burnt end sandwhich and it was pretty good. Some days f the brisket was a little over done but then again that's what it is right. They also put just the right amount of bbq on the ends that made it even better. I highly suggest the onion straws even though they are big enough to be considered onion rings. Throw some bbq sauce on them and nom nom nom. The fried okra in ant too bad but I stole the from the kiddo. read more

Dear Mgr, If you were the guy standing waiting until my 13 breakfast items are done,,,it is ok to help your employees. It is actually respected, standing there doing absolutely nothing, showed me that you are NOT part of "The Team". The crew maybe, however you are not. Just imagine how stressful it is for the crew trying to get everything made, l had a large order. Imagine how your team will respond to a mgr that leads by example ( go help them make a few of my 13 items) and don't hand it to the gal at the window, personally you had it in your hand snd pass it off. Big order in your hand go thank your large order customer and ask them back. imagine how it looks to the customer. BTW the food was perfect and absolutely delicious! Your team did a fantastic job!!! I will be back for more, of your food. Thanks Again! read more

We walked in and There's no denying it's a a bar-b-que restaurant When I think of bbq restaurant ... this is the ambiance that comes to mind We ordered food & drinks at the register ( I had the 2 meat platter with smoked Turkey & spicy link sausage with fried okra & Mac & cheese as sides) Then we took our number and it's "seat yourself" with a server bringing the food & drinks to your table. Our waitress came & got our drink order & she did a great job making sure we didn't run out of our drinks! Our food came out & My Turkey was very tasty, Mac & cheese was creamy & fried okra was crunchy. I thought the spicy links were fabulous! With a little spice when you first bite them but it doesn't stay with you. So in other words they are edible! Not so spicy that it burns your throat or gives you indigestion. I would say perfectly "spicy" the only reason I gave 4 & not 5 is because our food was "warm", almost room temp. So by the time I finished eating some of my meal was cold and it's not like I waited to eat or was talking. As a matter of fact I DIDN'T talk so I could try to finish my meal before it got cold. But otherwise I would recommend stopping by and trying some BBQ if you're in town! Very tasty & lots of smiling friendly faces read more

Great food...good price and Heather was the best! Nice clean atmosphere, staff was friendly...restrooms were very clean

This is a lunch and supper place, not a breakfast place. The breakfast was awful, cold, and the service was lacking. I have eaten here before in the evening and it was good. I would come back for supper, but never for breakfast. We had the burritos and the ultimate bowl, all cold and not tasty. read more

Very good ribs and all the sides are great and don't forget the desserts they're very good.

Ate here with my sister on 7-24-24 for the first time. I ordered the Light Chicken Fried Steak, Mashed potatoes/gravy & roll. The light size was just right when you don't want to order a big meal for lunch. I also split the Banana Pudding with my sister & it was very delicious. My sister ordered the 3 rib dinner which was a big portion & for the side she ordered sweet cream corn, mashed potatoes/gravy & a roll. She said the rib dinner was very tender & was falling off the bone which she likes. The sweet cream corn was very good & she would order it again. She ended up taking some of the ribs home for lunch the next day because it was a big portion. We both agreed that we would return soon to eat here again. read more

Terrible. I spent $50 on dry brisket and ok ribs. I purchased 2, 2 meat combos and a sweat tea. Never again. What's crazy is she asked if I wanted lean brisket or moist. Why can't I have both lol but I said moist and they gave me the driest brisket I've ever! read more
