How can I not give them 5 stars. The staff takes care of the military. The owner saw my hat and comped my lunch. Not that I was looking for a freebe but what a nice gesture! The food was good and the tea was sweet. Thank You read more

We asked a man where to eat BBQ, he said here. Down from the Qick Trip we stop at off I-40, Sallisaw. Guessing maybe not alot of choices. The chopped beef was strange, really juicy. Not sure if runny sauce or grease or what. Husband was hungry and ate his but didn't like it. I took about 3 bites and said nope! Baked beans were maybe an ok ? Strange meat maybe in them. Really young girl at counter where you order. Not friendly. Not sure much eye contact. She was adjusting a leg brace so guessing not feeling well. Would not even give this another try. read more

The workers were nice but the food was horrible. We threw most of it away. I had a rib, brisket and beans. Husband had a rib, bologna and cole slaw. The sides were ok. read more

This has been a stable BBQ restaurant in the river valley. The food is consistent and tastes amazing. Multiple famous people flocked to this place over the years and they have the pictures to prove it. Go for the food and revel in the history! You won't be disappointed!!! read more

$22.25 is an excellent price point for a sizable amount of well prepared 'cue, making this a worthwhile stop-- our 12th in Oklahoma, and 384th BBQ outing nationwide A pulled pork sandwich came heavily sauced, but the deeply smoked meat also had great flavor. Likewise the single link that we tried: it packed some heat! The quarter pound of chopped beef (not brisket) was also well smoked and tasty, but really comes into its own when mixed into the highly and deservedly praised baked beans (on its own, the beef is very, very dry). We went back for banana pudding, which is a decent finish, though again on the dry side. read more

Outstanding low key BBQ joint with delicious ribs and sides. My colleague in Oklahoma took me to visit tribal leaders and we stopped by this joint and I absolutely loved it. The service was fantastic and the ambiance was what I would expect a real BBQ place to be and not like an uppity southern California place that is less than authentic that I live near. In my new job, I may not have an opportunity to visit but they made an amazing impression on me and I wish them continued success read more

Pretty rough environment. The price was great but didn't like the meat (stringy and dry).

Great food. Service is good. They are busy but get you taken care of. I'll go back!! The hot is very hot!! Medium is pretty warm and mild is mild. T The ribs are huge! read more

Wildhorse Mountain BBQ - Half eaten bbq sandwich - Barbeque Near Me - Sallisaw, Oklahoma

Last time I was here was in the 1980's. Was in the area today so I decided to check it out. Just as I remembered it. Full parking lot at 1:30pm. Ordered a chopped beef sandwich with medium sauce and a small baked beans. Beans were really good. Sandwich was a very generous portion and "pretty good". I'll try it again and get the ribs. They looked amazing on a neighbor's table. They had unsweetened tea but did not have lemon. Anyway, blast from the past. Fun to re-visit. read more

We asked for one of the private rooms. We were being joined by people from out of town. They were quite rude

Expected brisket and got thinly sliced roast beef. That is my fault for assuming and not paying attention to the menu. The meat being dry and lacking any sort of flavor is what prompts this rating. The staff was super friendly, the place was clean and food came out promptly but couldn't offset the disappointing beef. The beans were OK. Not bad but nothing special either. A little to sweet and tomato-y for my taste. Same with the mild BBQ sauce. read more

I've been coming here since I was a child and that was a long time ago. it's been a staple in the area for many years. Sometimes its great and sometimes its good. I'll go in the order of "what I liked the most" A. the BBQ beans are really good. nice spice, sweetness, has a nice amount of meat in it. B. The "Hot" BBQ sauce is very nice. its vinegary but I tend to like the way the heat matches with it. One of the best sauces I've had. C. The serving amount was very generous I could have made two sandwiches easy with the portion. I am usually very satisfied when I go but this time wasn't the best experience. The meat was really dry. it broke apart in my plate. Usually spot on this time no bueno on the meat. I'm sure the problem will be fixed. Its a clean little place that looks like its been there forever because it has. I'll continue to be a loyal customer. read more

Pathetic BBQ served up in a dilapidated filthy shack! It only gets worse. For $8.75 you will get far more of their stringy tasteless beef, unremarkable beans and BBQ sauce than you would be willing to eat. I thought that earlier in life I had eaten the worst BBQ in Oklahoma. Tragically, I was wrong. The state tourism and the prevalent in your state articles have been pumping out B.S. The place is terrible! I won't make you suffer through any more descriptions of the food; it is not worth the time. But I will finish with this thought. Based on the reviews I have read, that praise the "Succulent" "Indescribably Delicious" BBQ at Wild Horse Mountain, I am now convinced that Methamphetamine use in Oklahoma is far worse than I had imagined! read more

For the last 3 years I passed this place longingly looking at it as I passed by due to not having time at the moment to stop and eat. I've heard tales about they had the most delicious barbecue in Oklahoma. The exterior of the place is awesome and takes you back to the old days, all wood with delicious smells oozing out of it. You know I'm excited. 6 bucks for a sandwich and 3.25 per rib. Plus a soda. The ribs were massive and really tasty. The barbecue sauce was good. The price was nice. But the beef sandwich. Come on man it's a freaking beef sandwich. Thing was drier than British comedy. Not even the sauce could save it. They had me til then. If a cue can't make a good Beef Sandwich they lost my faith. 3 years of excitement just be let down. Now I know how prom dates feel. read more

Wildhorse Mountain BBQ - Beef sandwich 2 ribs - Barbeque Near Me - Sallisaw, Oklahoma

Built in 1965, with the hard curved plastic benches to prove it, set along a private drive in Sallisaw, Ok Wild Horse Mountain barbecue provides TRUE pride for the locals...as you walk in from the gravel parking lot, you smell the smoked ribs. A super friendly young girl told us about the special for $8.95 and that we could get a bag of chips for an extra dollar. I ordered the mild spiced pulled pork sandwich and my husband got the spicy brisket. You pour your own drink from the flu Ron into a styrofoam cup but I want you to know they only have Sweet Tea for the tea choices! Truly typical southern bbq. My sandwich was not even warm to touch but it was tasty as I added the side of beans into the sandwich spread. My husband's sandwich was warm but not spicy enough. He went back to get more sauce. If you are driving on highway 40 it's worth a stop to this local joint even just to see all the pictures of the famous guest on the walls. Thanks Trouper Henson for our reason to stop in Sallisaw and thank you ladies at the court house for the recommendation!! read more

I was with my Oklahoma friends and they insisted we come here for lunch while we were still in Poteau. I couldn't understand why we had to wait for an hour for a barbecue when their was plenty of barbecue places in Poteau. I tried snacking on the way there and they insisted that I stopped so that I would be hungry when I get there. Was I ever glad I listened to their advice. We got the combination meal and it was a lot of food. The food was EXCELLENT, taste was definitely worth the wait. The price was reasonable and the service was nice. You have to order your food at the counter and they call your number when the food was ready. Place needed an update but you can ignore it, since the food makes up the lackluster decor. read more

After a lot of hyped up reviews over Wildhorse BBQ I went there to grab some BBQ to-go and here is my experience. Firstly, there seems to be a big misconception of what pork ribs are. Thinking I ordered spare ribs or baby backs, I care home disappointed to see that I had actually gotten a bone-in pork loin. Not only was the "rack" a pork loin I got the front cut where it is all white meat. It was sawdust dry with no hint of smoke and a poor pink ring that reminds me that I was at a BBQ restaurant There was inconsistent seasoning on the product but that doesn't matter, that doesn't fix dry meat. So there goes 5lbs of ribs. I also ordered sliced brisket. Instead I got what looks like shaved roast beef leftovers from a week beforehand. Their brisket also had no smoke flavor nor a hint that it was even smoked. If I known this was what I was getting I would be better off ordering from a supermarket deli. So there goes a pound of "brisket". Next item; smoked bologna. The only thing smoked about this bologna was from the Oscar Meyer factory the bologna came from. You can't mess up smoked bologna but you can here. I also got all three of their Mountain BBQ sauce. Mild, medium, hot. The consistency of this sauce was runny with no body. To each our own with the sauce. The flavor of the sauce had potential. It needs to a lot of "tightening" to concentrate the flavor and maybe then it would be OK. As for the flavor differences, the mild and medium tasted the same. The hot BBQ sauce had an annoying tingling sensation from some of the peppers they added but it was far from hot. Ive had black pepper spicier than their hot BBQ sauce and if you're looking for something spicy you're better off with a bag of flamin' hot Cheetos. Their beans were not good. I've also hear people recommending their beans as the best they've ever had. Do yourself a favor and buy the shortcut of Bushes Best beans from your local grocery store if you want a bean fix. Anyone saying this place is good has probably had a product from the past when they may of truly had good BBQ back in 1965. But from my experience this is the worst BBQ joint I've ever been to. It doesn't take a pit master to make "good BBQ". I'm not expecting a 2 star Michelin meal but don't go here with high expectations. The best thing here was the .25cent pickled jalapeño peppers. The atmosphere of the place looked dusty but has the character of a true smokehouse. It's a shame because the product of the kitchen did not fit the culture of the building. The lady at the counter was great but that's where the experience stopped. Anyone that says this place is good likes bland food. I'm not frugal nor do I possess a white color job with a six -figure income, but I regret every dollar of the $60 dollars I spent here. read more

I had heard nothing but good reviews for their food so I decided to drive out of my way to try them out. I was severely disappointed. The service was fast and the help was friendly. The portion of the sandwich was very generous. The beans, not so much. The meat lacked in smoke taste and flavor. I am not sure what (if any) sauce was used but the sandwich was soaked so bad into the bread it was almost impossible to eat with your hands. The beans could use some smoke flavor. I ate half of the sandwich and threw the other half away. There just wasn't any part of the meal I would want to go back for. How can you ruin a pickle? I don't know but it was awful. And I know there are people who will rant and rave about how great the food is. I am just not one of them. One strike and I'll go back to my regular barbecue place. read more

I asked if the brisket was sliced or chopped- the lady said the brisket started sliced but crumbles because it's been in crockpot. It tasted like it. Really disappointed. Coleslaw was good. Beans not exciting. Sauce was like watered down tomato sauce. read more

Beans and selections were good but meat really didn't taste like it was smoked. You can see the smoker was going but that taste didn't get into the pulled pork sandwich I had. Traveling companion loved the sauce and bought a jar of it. read more

Good juicy Southern BBQ clean friendly atmosphere love the Texas toast good cold coleslaw and good beans

Location - hard to find! look out for the small Wild Horse street sign Exterior - looks old and nondescript, a very good sign Interior - like the exterior, good cause the food should do the talking. Meat - while there was a nice crust, all the meat that we tried was bland, and a bit on the dry side. Beans - a bit too sweet... but otherwise tangy and like how good beans should be Bread - just a regular bun Prices - under $10 for two meats, two sides, and sweet tea Sauce - thankfully it was good, because it was really necessary Wild Horse Mountain BBQ was featured in the state's Discover Oklahoma Dining Guide so I had high expectations. I got to say that it just didn't do it for me. Maybe I ordered the wrong stuff, or maybe it's just not to my tastes... either way, this place is too hard to find and out of the way to deserve a second trip. read more

This is some of the finest bbq in Sallisaw. The atmosphere is relaxing and the staff is very friendly.

Wow! Probably the best pork ribs I've ever had. Delicious. The beans were half of the meal and were cooked to perfection. Mild BBQ sauce was great, complete with shredded bits of chopped brisket and just the right amount of heat. The atmosphere is awesome, so 'Merica. I sat under a small print of Charlie Russell's famous painting "Camp Cook's Troubles" for some great reason it was hanging next to a photograph of an Apache helicopter. Haha The way they cut the ribs is so unique, the smoked country style ribs are Oklahoma's true BBQ identity. "NAMP #423 is a country style rib. According to the technical definition, these ribs are made from the rib end of the loin usually with 4 or 5 rib bones. The rib end is then cut exposing all the lean meat and cut into pieces between the bone. They are very meaty and an excellent value for the price..." read more

This BBQ joint needs no advertising!! Word of mouth has made it well known all over!! WHM BBQ has the best BBQ sandwiches! They're amazing! Totally my favorite BBQ and I have eaten BBQ in multiple towns in several states. Family owned and extra friendly folks!!! read more

Warning!!!!! Do not use yelp to navigate to this restaurant. It is nowhere near the destination marked on the map. Search for White Horse Estates in Sallisaw, OK. The estates are on the west side of hwy 59, and the restaurant is directly across hwy 59 on the east side (look for the white sign - look close, as it is not the easiest to see). OK....now that the directions are taken care of, time to get to the meat of the review (pun intended). Outside - rustic, good-sized restaurant sitting up on the side of a hill. Plenty of parking, and truck/trailer accessible. Inside - Very spacious and properly decorated restaurant with a main (coffee shop style) dining area. It, also, has 2 semi-private dining areas perfect for family style or small party dining (see pictures). Food - The modest menu is more than adequate. Consisting of pork ribs and beef slow smoked to perfection. The smoke ring and mahogany color is the first clue that you about to taste something amazing. The only reason I dropped a star, is that they use absolutely no seasoning at all. Trust me..... it only needs a little salt, and I know how to use a salt shaker. Any other seasonings would have detracted from the beautiful and clean smoke flavor. It is not only tasty, but tender and moist. The only other choice is if you want beans. Get them!!! They are fabulous. The perfect balance of sweet, savory, smoke, and heat. It is definitely worth making a trip here if you are anywhere in the Oklahoma/Arkansas area. read more

Wildhorse Mountain BBQ - Dinner - Barbeque Near Me - Sallisaw, Oklahoma

After I wrote the review below we waited 3 weeks and went back midweek to try Wildhorse at the urging of friends. Wildhorse was much improved on the second visit but remarkable it isn't. The ribs were real bone-in rib chops, well smoked with a definite smoke bark on the exposed bone. The brisket was smoked and much more moist (fresh) than on the first visit. I'm glad it was so much better as I utterly hate to post a negative review. I'd rather leave no review at all. Glad to see it wasn't at all like the first visit. Warning- the hot BBQ sauce is damned hot! Be forewarned but it's solid. Perhaps Saturday is a bad or "off" day, but after so many friends have told us the beans at Wildhorse were to die for we drove to Sallisaw to find out. What we found was a real disappointment. The friendly young lady at the counter was great but that's where it ends. The food was really regrettable. We both had the combo plate, rib & sliced brisket with bun & beans. First the sliced meat: sliced at least the day before, it was dry, crumbly and a uniform gray color. No flavor and no sign it had ever seen a smoker, as in NO reddish rim nor any smoke or rub flavor whatsoever. Brisket slow smoked at low temp for hours this was not. I'll hazard a guess that it was dry baked in an oven and sliced the next day, definitely not BBQ brisket. The "rib" we each had were identical. 3/4" slice of boneless pork loin with a small amount of smoke evident on the outside. No flavor again but at least it wasn't yesterday's production. Made me pine for anyplace but here. The atmosphere is true BBQ shack, clean and true to character. Overall if you're going to be a BBQ restaurant at least make a trip to Dallas or Kansas City and learn from the masters in any of a hundred BBQ restaurants how to smoke meat and put out a respectable product. It's obvious that has never happened to the owners here. read more

Limited menu. Prob best BBQ for around here. I like the way they slice their ribs, more meat. 3= 1lb. ($10) Can't vouch for the sauce as I don't eat that, meat was a bit dry w/o it. Pickles are weird. Map is correct now. Service is not as friendly as Okies should be. If I'm in town n have a hankering for ribs I'd come back, otherwise prob not read more

Was sad when years ago this placed closed... Then headed to visit family and saw it was opened. Oh happy day!!! The food is incredible the hot sauce is hot! If driving on I-40 take the 5 minute detour south on hwy 59 and stop on in! This place is a must!!! read more

Be prepared for a "the owner is always right attitude." The credit card machine was down and they didn't seem to care. We were able to find a check which they did accept. The worst part were the ribs. Well, they weren't actually ribs. It was some rib along with the tenderloin or whatever dry flavorless piece of meat they left attached to the rib. I guess they did that to save money, but we couldn't even eat it. The sliced beef was good. read more
