Van's Pig Stand - Hamburger, fries and drink special $8 - Barbeque Near Me - Purcell, Oklahoma

Smoked turkey was flavorful, moist & delicious. The burnt ends were heavenly! The ribs - slapped the taste buds. Brisket - just yum. Highly recommend this spot ... give it a try!!! read more

Ordered rib dinner ribs were burnt and taste was awful will never set foot back in this place, nasty food!

Great during the day but in t he evenings they blast music from a speaker right at the register and the cashier can't hear you or vice versa, so you get a surprise order. A shame, the beans and curly fries are great. read more

Decided to get out of the OKC area on the way back to Texas, and wanted to try BBQ. Stopped at Vans based on the bathrooms and the BBQ. Bathrooms btw were fine. Served the needs just fine. read more

1st time at this location since we last visited the one in Norman last time. Had 3 meats plate, brisket, pork ribs, and sausage with cole slaw and fried okra as sides. All were good except those lean briskets were a bit dry. Also had the pig sandwich and only wish the bun can be warm instead of cold. Takes an extra minute or less for heating the bun. The curly fries were a disappointing as they were either over cooked or undercook in the larger pieces where the potatoes came like the shape of a piece of sliced half onion. Those required a bit more cooking. Rum pie was good but would recommend serving a little afterwards since it was very soft after we finished p our meal. Good food! It was annoying to have flies buzzing on our food. Staffs were all friendly. The cashier, an older gentleman told us about a loyalty program when signing up with phone number. No one told us last time at the Norman location. Oh well... read more

Van's Pig Stand - a tray of food and a drink - Barbeque Near Me - Purcell, Oklahoma

$12 for a chopped brisket sandwich, without sides or BBQ SAUCE? Crazy expensive! That's why there's NO ONE in the parking lot. read more

I love Van's, always friendly and the food is always great. Sometimes on the weekends I'll online order the big family meal which is way too much and eat on it for the week, Highly recommend! read more

I have always loved the food at all the locations, they gave my brothers free desert for their birthday and thats some amazing service. The place just feels like a nice place to go and relax with some friends. Would recommend 10/10. read more

Where do I begin? Let's start with the chopped brisket sandwich....YUM! A nice portion of brisket. The bun is always fresh. Moving on to the fried bologna sandwich. Oh. My. Word. If it's available get it! You won't regret it. My hubby love the 2 meat plate. He typically gets sliced brisket and pulled pork. Delicious! Let's talk sides...the best fried okra in town. The Mac and cheese is delicious when it's available. The beans are just perfect! There are also baked potatoes and huge salads. Add your favorite meat to either and you won't regret it! read more

a little pricy for what we got. It wasn't bAd bbq but it could have been betterf it's the third best bbq in th Norman a area.

I would give Van's Pig Stand 10 stars.. The food is really good, but what needs to be said is that they'll provide a gluten-free option for those of us who have allergies to gluten. They take the time to warm the gluten-free bun, which is super soft, and they are careful not to cross contaminate. The owner took the time to come see us and make sure we had everything we needed. The restaurant is clean and above standards. If you're in Purcell and you need a gluten-free option, that is also excellent food and great service stop into Vans Pig Stand read more

This was some of the best BBQ ever. Will definitely be back again. Serving sizes were well worth it the value we paid.

I ate at the Vans in Purcell today, and I was very impressed. Pulled pork sandwich was awesome (reasonably priced too) Curly fries were spot on and the service was exceptional. This will be our BBQ go to place from now on. read more

Best ribs around!!! coleslaw is excellent too!! Vans in Purcell is awesome. will definitely be going back for more...You will not leave hungry, their portion size will fill you up!! Reasonably priced... Go get you some Ribs!!! read more

My standards for bbq and burgers are very high!! I hate to give a less than substantial review for a home town business but I'm afraid that's what I'm about to do. Their aren't a whole lot of options on food in Purcell,so often times you have to run up to Norman! I've seen quite a few adds in the paper of how fans had the #1 burger around... I was skeptical but being very hungry remembered the add so off I went to Van's! I ordered the burger from the very convenient drive thru window and expected a 7-8 minute wait.The burger was in my hand in about 2... naturally I'm thinking this isn't going to be good. Get home just across the street and at bite 1 it was as the burger was made 30 minutes prior,it wasn't hot either. It wasn't terrible but definitely not #1 or even a 5 on my scale. read more

Btw... of the 5 desserts they offered us, we paid for 3 which we did not receive in our order. read more

We are in the area and decided to stop in to see what all they hype was about. Pulled pork, fired okra, curly fries, and bologna we all at the table served in the typical metal baking sheet/plate. Positives: The bread was super fresh. So fresh it was amazingly obvious. Clean and open. We got there right before the Sunday rush but as it was filling up it didn't get much louder. Sauces. Oh the sauces! I had a hard time picking my favorite. We each ended up picking something different. Not so great: The meat portions were small. I'm used to biting into a BBQ sandwich and getting more meat than bread. This was not the case. Prices were in line with other places like Swadleys or Earls but the portions were out of wack. No shredded pork peaking out from the edges of the bun. The bologna was sliced thin and petite. The curly fries were short and more like half curl fries than the traditional crispy springs you would expect. Maybe we will try another location, aside from the convenience factor. read more

If you like barbecue, I don't see how you could be disappointed. We stop in for dinner on our road trip and the food was absolutely delicious. Hope to be able to stop in sometime again! read more

I've never had a meal I didn't like there but just like every other business prices are ridiculous

Pretty dang good bbq. Their bologna sandwich is so yummy. My sister and husband always get the ribs and they never complain about them. Most of their staff is friendly, but I definitely do wish some of their attitudes were better. Overall it's a good place to eat and take the family. Lots of places to sit, clean bathrooms. read more

Needed lunch on the way to the airport. This is a good find. Really good bbq, helpful staff, easy off and on I-35, exit 95. Great ribs! Not cheap, but good bbq is never cheap. I am through Purcell 3-4 times a year. This will definitely be on my to do list when I am in town. read more

My favorite Vans location! We are at the Shawnee location weekly but really enjoyed this restaurants layout and decor! Ribs are perfectly smoked. Kelli was amazing at greeting us and taking our order. Along with her being our server. We will definitely be back read more

My friend and I ate there on the way to Norman,OK. I had the pulled pork sandwich with fried okra and a drink(combo). My friend had the catfish meal, with 2 sides(she got curly fries and fried okra, and hush puppies and a drink. For our dessert, she had banana pudding, I had pecan pie. My sandwich and her catfish were both perfect in flavor and cooked just right. The fried okra was also perfect. They have pickles and onions and extra sauce for the meat if you want. The workers were super nice and the whole place was clean, even the women's restroom(no idea about the men's,as we had no men with us to try that). Overall, I enjoyed my stop there. read more

Owner super friendly Spicy sauce on top Pig sandwich is amazing Exiting the city watch out for zealous cop Great bargain, random location Regardless will return for another stop read more

Everything was good, not great! I ordered the 3 meat combo ribs, hot links, brisket, with bakes beans and turnip greens. The hot links and brisket were cold but very moist and tender. The ribs were fall off the bone tender but they didn't have much meat, even for ribs they were skimpy. The beans were disappointing, they were ok. However for any barbecue place to have anything other than incredible beans is a travesty. With all the meat drippings and smoke you should be able to do more than open a can of pork and beans and slightly doctor them. The greens were good but could have been much better. The barbecue sauce is terrible. I tried all of them and they were just weird. They need to adjust the recipes because the spices they use are very off-putting. When I arrived the health department was parked in front. I thought if they were eating here that's a good sign, but if not it would make me nervous. Luckily they were eating here. Overall this is good "Q"! But with a few minor tweaks it could be world class. read more

I already forget about how amazing Vans is and we live literally down the street! Ordered a 1 meat 2 sides for $12! That's a great price. 4 large ribs, 2 sides, and Texas toast. Can't forget their amazing hot bbq sauce- I'll repeat: HOT! The hot is the best one! Great fried pickles (are these new?) and spicy ranch. I think I'm full for the rest of the year! read more

Good. Tastes okay but it is way overpriced for the small portions that are served. I do not plan on going back any time soon.

Great BBQ! We had the brisket and a rack of ribs along with fried okra and apple pie. Everything was delicious. The brisket was a " melt in your mouth " kind of moment! The staff was friendly and helpful and the store was clean. Would diffidently return next time we are in town! Also, they didn't have a warm pie to take but were happy to tell me how to warm it up in my oven. It was the finished just in time for everyone to enjoy! Thank you read more

I have to say I am not a BBQ person but I could eat here everyday. I have tried the pulled pork, hamburgers and chili and never been disappointed. Like a clean atmosphere with great food then this is the place. read more

I will not be back. Chopped bbq brisket was like eating cardboard. Fries were not much better. Stopped in at 3pm to grab a bite with my husband. I feel like the food was left over from the noon rush ( if there is one) and then re-warmed. I ate only because I don't like to waste my money. read more

Its good. Kelly and sandy and the gang are good people. Nice place to have a good hot meal or drive thru

Purcell has been without quality BBQ for years. Now, Van's is in town (by some miracle?). Finally!!! The BBQ Chicken was perfect, flavorful crispy skin, warm tender moist meat. I'm not a big fan of chicken on the bone, but this was an exception. The BBQ Turkey came sliced and was just as tender, flavorful, and moist as the Chicken! Never, have I had good sliced turkey, let alone GREAT! The sides I had were the Green Beans and Turnip Greens, both tasted homemade. I wasn't close to getting my fill on just one serving, it was that delicious!!! Overall: This is the best restaurant in Purcell, OK. and the best BBQ Turkey&Chicken I've had in Oklahoma to date. I'm returning here soon. :D read more

We have eaten here only twice because we live 2 hours away. The staff was friendly and efficient. We have had their smoked meats and burger. Both times food was freshly prepared and very good. It is a a little pricey. This last time, 2 of us ate and we both had bacon cheeseburgers, one side and a drink. Our total was a little over $27. Price aside, we will return the next time we are in the area for the taste of the food and the excellent service. read more

We were just driving through looking for a quick dinner. We were really excited to see a drive through other than McDonalds, Wendy's and Subway. I got the pork sandwich and curly fries! I loved them! I thought the BBQ sauce was good too! This Texas girl approves! I gave a 4 star because I really love my Texas BBQ. read more

The people were nice, especially the older gentleman doing all the work, I did however not feel comfortable eating the food after watching one of the employees using his dirty foot to close drawers that he was using his bare hands to get food out of. read more

I did not have a good experience at vans and pig stand today on Tuesday. I decided to go have lunch there, a friend recommended me to go there but when I walked in you know the place is nice. I liked it it was a cute place but when I Went there the employees we were very unwelcoming as they have had some type of attitude as they probably had a bad day, but I went in there and ordered my food. I asked about the buns being toasted, and they said yes the buns are toasted and I went to the the the in the cold Stan to get some pickles and there was no pickles. A lot of the bottles were empty no barbecue sauce And I had to tell them if they couldn't refill it and one of the ladies are working on the line was giving me very disgusting looks I did not have a welcoming visit there. Although the food was good, it was mediocre as what I would say, and the bun was not toasted. The bun was not even warm but also the barbecue sauce isn't the best quality. I wouldn't recommend trying this place out if you are a BBQ fan if you love your smoked meat better off, cooking it at home. I did not have a good experience read more

It it was good but not great. I asked for fatty side of brisket and got the lean side instead. Ribs were good but seemed a bit old. Curly fries were tasty but greasy and if cooked another 45 seconds would have been much better. I will try again and see if I caught them on an off day! Clean and friendly! read more

The service and food is top notch! Their sign is down because of the OK wind causing some issues with being able to see the restaurant from the road but they are working on this! We had heard such great things about the food and service and everything we had heard was rigHt on point! We are not from the area but will definitely make the drive again and again! read more

I had high hopes for Van's Pig Stand, having seen their signs on the highway, and liking to try BBQ in various states as I travel for work. My impression was that there was a lack of effort other than a mechanical "Welcome to Van's!" greeting from somewhere when I walked in. I ordered a 3 Meat Combo with brisket, sausage, and turkey ($20.69 with a drink). At 6 pm on a Thursday, there was only one other table occupied. There seemed to be an abundance of staff hanging around behind the counter, but lots of dirty tables and very sticky floors in what appears to be a new building. ("If there's time ro lean, there's time to clean.") All three meats were very dry and lacked any smoke flavor. The brisket seemed like it was reheated, the sausage had little character, and the turkey was sliced thick, but was dry enough to split apart when you tried to cut it. Not the worst I've ever had, but for a non-chain restaurant touting it's heritage to 1930, it seems that someone has lost the passion that got their name this far. read more
