Dont walk to Swadley's... RUN. The new Dino Rib is absolutely phenomenal. Swadleys and the crew knocked this one completely out of the park. This massive 2 1/2-pound beef rib is loaded with flavor from top to bottom, perfectly smoked, unbelievably juicy, and seasoned to perfection. Every bite melts in your mouth and pairs insanely well with the new Okie Gold sauce, which takes it to another level. This isn't just BBQ... this is an experience. A true home run from Swadley's. The catch? It's only available during May on Thursdays and Fridays, so don't miss your shot. Get down to Swadley's and grab yourself a Dino Rib before they're gone. The atmosphere is like an old country mom and pop place read more

Something new but limited time! Yes Meatloaf. We gave it a try and very pleased. I'm picking if not cooked enough. This was good. I ordered mashed potatoes and gravy for one of my sides. They have so many other choices I had not tried these. Very good. I also got my normal Okra but thinking The green beans would of been the better choice with mashed potatoes. Bread Pudding to go makes a good meal. Service is always Great. Plenty of employees makes a pleasant visit. Drive thru is always busy, they are doing it right. read more

The Swadley's in Mustang is always clean, the BBQ is tasty and the staff is friendly! It's a place I would highly recommend. read more

Came at 2:45 pm- took awhile just to find a clean table- The chopped brisket had more fat and gristle than actual brisket- No waitress to help us for the first 15 minutes- had to get our drinks- serve ourselves- The okra was way over cooked and more like fried rocks- Really went downhill. Super disappointing. read more

Stopped by the drive-thru and picked up a 1/2 lb of brisket. It was convenient and the service was quick, but the cut I got was a bit lean and turned out drier than I prefer. Next time, I'll definitely ask for the fatty cut--I think that'll be more to my taste. read more

I've never had a bad meal here. For that matter, I've never had a just ok meal here. I cook a lot of BBQ at home and can be a bit picky about how I see BBQ restaurants. The food here is always consistently good. I hate even admitting this but it might even be a tad better than my own BBQ. I'll never admit this to anyone face to face. Give them a try and you won't be disappointed. A bit of advice...always get an extra rib for your plate. read more

It was good. My daughter is really picky and does NOT like the bun with her burger. This place is the only exception. The people were very nice and kind no matter what happens. I like the idea of the way they order and I love the place really vintage. Overall I love there ambiance service and food everyone should come here! read more

Stephanie was a fantastic server. Highly recommend! She went above and beyond the entire time we were there. We came here based off a recommendation from locals. The ribs, Turkey sandwich, spicy beans and Mac and cheese was all delicious I would definitely recommend getting a lady sampler platter to try a variety of different things read more

We were travelling along I-40 and wanted something local. This place had 4.6 stars on Google, and 4 stars here so we gave it a shot. Pros: Staff was fantastic! Friendly, smiles and genuinely nice. Ambiance was great as well. Prices were in line with most other BBQ places, so about twice the average fast food meal. Cons: Food was in our opinion sub-par. I had burnt ends, which were ok. My dinner companion had the Oklahoma plate, which was a sampler of may things. The meats had little to no smoke flavor. Turkey was mushy and seemed a warmed turkey breast. Other meats were about the same. Overall, it was a decent place with meg foods. If I lived in the area I would find other options. Passing through just means we won't be back anyhow. read more

I usually love Swadley's so it pains me to write this review... We ordered the Holiday Feast for Christmas. One of the reasons we did this was the pickup options- drive thru and curbside. We have a newborn and needed the convenience. Plus, it was two days before Christmas and lots of last minute prepping was underway. We needed to pick up our food and get home quickly. I initially didn't mind paying $170 for good food and the convenience, but that's not what happened. When I got there I went through the drive thru since it had been raining some to pick up my meal. The kid in the drive thru told me that he couldn't give it to me that way and I had to come in "to make sure they get it right" - his words. I told him I chose that option when I ordered but he insisted I had to come in. I also told him I was stuck now in the drive thru line behind two cars, but that made no difference to him. So I waited in the drive thru line and then parked and went inside to get my food. I spoke to the manager. He offered to carry my food out for me, but that was no help at that point. I'd already waited in the drive thru and walked in. Time was already wasted. When I got home, I realized that the paper bag was soaked through. The gravy lid wasn't on properly and my bag was falling apart and wet. Also there was 0 bbq sauce???? I paid $170 and you didn't even throw in any bbq sauce? Also, there were no heating or cooking instructions. The rolls were raw dough and I let them sit out on the counter thinking they were cooked rolls. They were in a covered pan so I couldn't see them immediately. I found out later when I opened them. Nope. Some type of paper or instructions would've helped with this. I just can't believe I paid this much money and received what I did. I thought Swadley's would've taken care of their customers better than that. Maybe it's the location? I don't know. I don't want to spend this type of money here in the future though, that's for sure. I will take my business where they know how to treat their customers. read more

Swadley's is always a delicious meal and this to-go order for pick up was very good. We often choose Swadley's over any other BBQ restaurant. read more

Best BBQ ever, service was great and the atmosphere was awesome Will definitely go back read more

From out of town and tried this place. The convenience of a drive thru is a plus but decided to dine in. For fast food bbq, I'd say it's pretty good. Friendly service and a really cool interior design as you make your way to the order window. Pretty clean dining room. I was very satisfied with my sandwich and sides. read more

I had the veggie plate with one trip to salad bar. It was yummy and clean. Then I had Mac and cheese. It needed serious seasonings so I had to salt and pepper it a lot but it was creamy. I also had the Mexican street corn. That was yuck. It was way too sweet for me. Almost like they added sugar to it. Service was good. read more

The food is always good, but thought that it was a little ridiculous that they charged a packaging fee through the drive-through and charged you extra for ranch. It doesn't quite make sense that I can go inside and order as much as I'd like without a charge. read more

It's been a few years since we've been to Swadly's. We decided to order today and it was all sooo good. We had pulled pork, chopped brisket, chicken and chicken tenders. We had Mac and cheese okra sweet beans and potato salad. We also had banana pudding and texas sheet cake. Everything was fresh and tasted so good and the portions were large and generous. We will definitely be goong back soon. read more

Great food, great experience and never disappoints. so whether it's barbecue or a chicken fried steak, they are both delicious and satisfying. read more

The food temperature was on point. The service was impeccable and price was affordable. It's a great place for a family dinner.

Had a grub hub order from here, arrived ice cold except for the warm potato salad the brisket was so dry and overcooked it was not even worth eating, ribs the same 26.00 for the worst meal I've ever had read more

always great food when you're out for bbq the sides are so good. I highly recommend this place where every you can go

Amazing BBQ!!! The staff is very polite and there is always quick service!! The restaurant is always very clean!

I was blown away by the service and quality of food that this place has to offer. The bbq is really good and so is the salad bar. It was quiet and dark which made it easy to visit with the company I was with. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone. read more

The food was spectacular and the portion hearty. A great salad bar starts your dining experience. Staff from the ordering of your dinner to the finish were helpful and very attentive. I love TexMex and this place fit the bill. Every trip to Oklahoma will include at least one meal at Swadleys. read more

Super disappointed and frustated with Swadleys. 2nd time in a row, where my order was shorted my bad for not double checking what THEY'RE supposed to do. But the girl who took my order was not friendly and the employees were standing around socializing on their phone I chose to ignore it but when I drove all the way back home (15 mins away) to see that I got shorted AGAIN for the 2nd time in a row only a week apart. I am a reasonable person who understands things happen but the prices are not cheap for them to not give me everything I PAID for is so annoying. When I called to tell them the "manager" was not very helpful or apologetic no surprise. CHECK YOUR BAGS PEOPLE because they won't! read more

I moved to Mustang from a community in Texas that had 5 star BBQ. Several places. Now living in Mustang, I have tried a dozen places in the OKC metro. Some even just a few miles from the city. Most of them really good. But for me there is one consistent everyday place that seems to get better every time. I can't understand why Swadleys isn't 5 star. I know folks like to seem above the chain store and want us to think a small shack or trailer is the bomb. Or having a fabled pit master makes the place to eat. Sometimes. But the meats at Swadley's are as good as Snows in Lexington Tex. The sides will compete with Dyers in Amarillo. I love everything about this place. I usually eat at two locations. Mustang and Bethany. Have eaten at others, and all are good dependable BBQ. Love their sauce, service, and the feeling I'm sitting in a cook shack on the ranch. Now you might find different takes or taste. That just makes them different not better. But notice the parking lot at Swadleys in the evening. Those are votes on how good they are. Notice the little shacks and trailers. By four pm they have shut down. Probably because they are having supper at Swadleys. Brag on this place Oklahoma. read more

Our experiences are always good and often exceptional. The food is always good but it's often the staff that puts it over the top. Sophia works hard and always greets us personally, every time. I consider the salad bar to be really good for a place that, well, is not trying to be known for their salad bar. It has become a regular for us. read more

My husband loves the ribs. I guess you were call him a rib connoisseur because he is always critical when writing how much he enjoys a restaurant ramp. This is his go to spot. I love their okra. I've never had a problem with service. read more

My husband and I have been going to this location for the past 5 years since we moved to the area either dine in or drive through at least once a month. Last Friday I went thru the drive thru and got moist, sliced brisket and ribs, and neither were edible. The brisket was fatty and too chewy to eat, and the rib was so hard that even our dog wouldn't eat it. I am very disappointed since this has always been one of our go to restaurants. I hope that this is a one off and not a sign of a declining effort from the restaurant. read more

Wife didn't like the food. I thought it was ok. I got the 3 meat special, ribs, brisket and sausage. Service was good ambiance was ok

Very mediocre barbecue. Been coming here since it opened, though certainly not a 'regular'. More of a 'don't have time to leave Mustang, but the family wants barbecue, so I guess this will have to work' type of customer. Can't say that I've ever had 'fresh' brisket here (certainly not in recent years). Always dry and brown/gray from reheating. Sometimes we'll see them getting a fresh brisket out of the smoker, and we joke about how they're probably getting ready to slice it, bag it up, and put it straight into the fridge to serve later in the week. Creamed corn is also always clearly reheated (matte/dry/warm on the outside, creamy and blazing hot in the center). Taste is alright, but at least stir it up so that it isn't so obvious/off-putting. Good okra, decent sauces. Sweet tea usually too sweet. Service usually a bit lacking, making the servers seem like more of a hindrance than a 'luxury', in some instances (especially on the most recent trip). If you're local and choosing between here or Billy Sim's, obviously go here. But if you want good, fresh, high-quality barbecue, just try to drive at least a few extra minutes out of Mustang, if possible. Plenty of better options around. read more

Great place. Love it! Really good barbecue! If you are in the area, try it out! Just think about it.......mmmnnn! read more

This place is AMAZING! Absolutely the best meal we have ever had - No joke! Your taste buds come alive making it utterly impossible to not overeat. You make it a mission to find room for the peach and blackberry cobbler with ice cream to top it all off!! read more

They aren't the best BBQ I've ever had, but they are consistently good. The Sample Platter for $20 is great deal for the price paid and all the meat you receive! The food was very good! Great job SBBQ! read more

Stopped in for breakfast and got a breakfast bowl it was good liked the hash brown rounds the place is clean staff friendly

Ordered $54 worth of takeout tonight. The drinks were supposed to be Coke and sweet tea. However, we received two unsweet teas? In addition, the "sweet corn" was so salty it was inedible. read more

We enjoyed the quick, wonderful, and friendly service from the moment we walked into the restaurant. The food was delicious and very filling. Great family dinner night! read more

Good place to eat The fish and corn was real good. The fried okra was cooked to long was real dry But everything else was great Would try if your in the area read more
