We were seated in Justin's section and if you go there please ask for him! He is so friendly, helpful and loves working there! I had the breakfast cowboy burrito, it was good but I was also very happy with the salsa it came with. The salsa wasn't watery, and had a little bite to It. My sister got the veggie scramble she said it was great. We also wanted to try the cheesy grits, I'm a huge grit fan but honestly, these fell short. They had an enamel after taste from the crock they came in and seriously needed salt. But other than that everything was really good! Definitely make a reservation ahead of time as they do get busy!

I really can't believe I'm here. This was on my bucket list so now I can check it off. The only…read morething better would be if the pioneer woman herself appeared. I did some heavy duty shopping at the Merc.!!!! and also left behind probably a dozen more things I would've loved to have picked up and brought home. Yes, I would say it's a little more expensive than your average kitchen supply store but if you're going to somewhere upscale, I would say the prices are in line with that type of property. Lucky me -I made reservations for lunch for myself (since the boys decided they did not want anything to do with my shopping extravaganza!) I can't get over the quality and the quantity of the food. It's absolutely fabulous. They gave me complementary biscuits and homemade strawberry rhubarb jam. I would rate it five star -the biscuits just which you would like- light and fluffy and the jam freshly made and delicious. I also ordered what was called olive bread just because I love olives so much. I thought it would be a piece or two of bread with olives but instead it's like four or five pieces of bread, so I'll definitely be taking some home and it will become my dinner along with whatever else I have left because their portions are very generous. For my main course, I ordered the cornbread fish over rice and creamed spinach. It's not only beautiful and don't you know we eat with our eyes first!! Well, just take a look for yourself. Oh, me oh my happy day.!!!! Justin is my server. Everyone in both the restaurant and retail area have been absolutely wonderful and have helped me a couple times as I had questions and then I brought a baking pan down to pay for it with all my other Mercantile items not knowing that if the merch is up in the bakery, you gotta pay for it in the bakery....I did get a lot of stuff up there- some cookies, brownie and scones and some "vintage" candy for my husband. I don't know why I didn't put that small Bundt pan on the counter!! They actually have a beautiful staircase, but they also have an elevator so with my bum leg that was my choice. I took the mini Bundt pan back up, paid for it and then proceeded to take my three XL or maybe even 2XL Mercantile Brown Handled Bags out to my trunk. (I hope that my husband doesn't put me on top of the car for the ride home!!!) ----at the very least, I'm probably going to be squished in the backseat with those bags and my 72# dog; however, this was TOTALLY worth it. I can't stop smiling. I love it here. All that shopping made me hungry and timing was perfect so once my bags were safely in the trunk -I walked right up to the hostess stand -she confirmed my table was ready and I was seated on a very comfy cushioned area that was behind my 2-top but I believe it extended to either side of me where the tables were both 4-tops. Justin was my server and he was fantastic. He took excellent care of me and I observed him giving the same high quality customer service to customers at his other tables. He had that charming OK accent and indeed told me he had lived at the next little town all his life. We had actually passed through Bartlesville on the way to "The Bunkhouse" (our ABNB for the 2-nights which was very near Pawhuska. (I'll be posting other reviews regarding the "Merc" mercantile and general store and the merchandise available and what I purchased.) This is one of my best days ever. The only thing that could've added to my joy was if Ree Drummond herself made an appearance. I was shocked when I went out to leave for home and found the Drummond Ranch truck parked next to my car. I never found out if it was just parked there as an advertisement, (although I don't think they need any advertising), or if there was a Drummond on the premises. I didn't mention I took 2 Turkey Bacon Club Sandwiches along with the home made potato chips (they came with each sandwich) and a side of MacNCheese which is what the boys chose from the menu. Happy to report that everything was made to order as requested and my family enjoyed their meal just as much as I did-however they missed the incredible ambience!!!

Our server could not have been more helpful and sweet. Elizabeth was awesome! My sister and I decided to split the lasagna and each of us had a chopped salad. The lasagna was fantastic! The only complaint I had is I wish they would have given us something to serve ourselves with after we cut it up, instead of trying to scoop it with a spoon, but that is minor. The lemonade was great! Ranch dressing on the salad was also good and you can tell it was homemade. I don't know where another person got the place was dirty? It is an old building with worn floors but everything was very clean. If you happen to stop here for the night and need a place to eat, you can't go wrong with this place.

I'm from Illinois, where every other place claims to have the "best BBQ in the state," so I've had my fair share. Still, Prairie Smoke stands out as one of the best I've had in quite some time. I ordered the brisket dip. tender brisket piled on a hoagie with a rich au jus for dipping. I tried a bite plain first and it was already mouth-watering. Then I loaded it up with onions, pickles, and jalapeños and couldn't help myself. Just when I thought it couldn't get better, I tried a little of the table BBQ sauce and was blown away. Even though the sandwich was a generous portion (bigger than I'm used to), I still wished there was more. For a side I went with the coleslaw, nothing beats a good slaw, and this one didn't disappoint. Before the sandwich I also tried the jalapeño bottle caps as an appetizer, and they were easily one of the best pre-meal bites I've had. I'd definitely recommend stopping by and giving this place a visit.

First the servers along the serving line were excellent, helpful, and friendly. Second the dining area and bathroom were quite clean. I wanted to love this place. But I was also extremely reserved on my expectation because people seem polarized about this place and BBQ heavily relies on personal preferences. I chose the sampler with 2 ribs, a few short slices of brisket, two decent slices of ham, and I swapped hot links for the turkey. My sides were a side salad and deviled eggs (2). Ham was tender and actually surprisingly/(amd disappointingly) my favorite. Brisket was tender but was almost roast-ish in flavor. There just isn't much smoke to it. Ie. Minimal smoke ring. Turkey had decent flavor and was tender but much longer and they would have dried it out. Ribs (2) were large and meaty. Fairly tender. Definitely the second best of the meats I tried. Deviled eggs were bland and mostly mayo. Side salad was an average side salad. I chose ranch because she said it they make it there. This usually is a sign of outstanding dressing. It was just on par with bottled hidden valley. BBQ is fairly easy to be decent at. But it's very hard to consistently crush expectations on. This is why I chose the sampler to split it up different meats and catch what was great that day. Sadly none of them wowed me. I really feel it warrants a 3.5 star but that's not an option. I think on a great day with the right meat and sides it could be a 4 star. Considerations. TLDR: it's decent but failed to live up to the hype. Rest of the Story: It's cafeteria style. So there was no tipping which keeps your cost down. Portion size was above average for the cost. Sauce. They are famous for the sauce and it's in most grocery stores. TIP: I am on my keto diet and they happily went in the back to grab me a sugar free bottle of sauce.

Worth the wait to get their Burnt Ends, Pork Ribs, and Apple Pie BBQ Baked Beans!!…read more Butcher BBQ Stand has limited hours (only open Fri/Sat/Sun till 3pm or until sell out!) and when it's open, there is a line of people that want to get food! I ventured out here from Oklahoma City after a couple people recommended me to try this establishment, and I am glad I did! I arrived here at about 10:15am on a Saturday and after it opened at 11am, I was able to order by around 11:45am. While waiting, I enjoyed looking at the interior and was excited for the food! Upon ordering, the person at the desk mentioned to try the pork ribs, and I am glad I did! I had a hefty lunch that included getting Burnt Ends, Pork Ribs, Brisket, Mac & Cheese, and Apple Pie BBQ Baked Beans! The main highlights are below: Burnt Ends - Oh boy this had a lot of flavor and was very moist! This was definitely a delight to have. Pork Ribs - The staff was correct in ensuring I tried to Pork Rib. The pork fell right off the bone and was soooooo flavorful! I honestly could have had only pork ribs for my meal and feel 100% satisfied! Apple Pie BBQ Baked Beans - I was VERY surprised at this side. It had the right amount of sweet flavor to it and the taste was very unique. I sometimes do not finish a side of baked beans at the BBQ spot, but at this one, I ate it all! One comment I have for the brisket is that it is not as moist and more on the lean side, which is not as I typically like it, but the staff did indicate to me ahead of time that it is the style they typically prepare it, where people that are fans of more fat and moistness get the burnt ends. I did want to at least try it though since I traveled all the way there! The food that was recommended to me was really memorable and I enjoyed my time at Butcher BBQ Stand!

The chopped brisket was delicious with good texture and not too fatty, Pulled Pork, had texture but still tender and juicy with a nice skin on it! The Chicken tender brined and smokes, very tender and juicy. The Ribs had a delicious dry rub and were just at fall off the bone, not over tender at all. The ham was good but the least standout, as well as the sausage were all cooked to perfection, crispy skin and so tenderly cooked. The Slaw was a vinegar slaw that was a little heavy on the onion and celery seed, while the Baked Beans were sweet and tangy, some ketchup and mustard and I'm guessing but I taster Tamarind, delicious . The Potato Salad was absolutely lovely! ~ tasted like a mayo and mustard dressing with egg yokes? , dill pickle chunks and dill... reminded me of a deviled egg potato salad ~ WoW again.
