Reviews for Swadley's Bar-B-Q in Oklahoma City, OK
By far my favorite BBQ place in Oklahoma. Loaded spud, every time. Side of hot links, side of mac&cheese. DELICIOUS. The free... soft serve at the end is a perfect finish as well. *They sell their sauce as well, it has no high fructose corn syrup which ishas become rare on bbq anymore. I can go through a bottle a week. Read more
Most of the food was very good but portions were too small for the prices, especially the sides. Usually our family takes home... leftovers but there weren't any because portions were so small. Ordered the burnt ends dinner but they were not like any burntends I've had before. They were chewy and seemed like a cheap piece of meat. Not smokey, not burnt, or tender or falling apartlike I've had at other places. I exchanged it for pulled pork which was much better. Wish they had a kids mac and cheese meal soI ordered a 3.50 side of mac and cheese for my child and it was tiny :( Pulled pork and smoked chicken were good and sauces weregood. Salad bar was good too. I like that you order from the counter but wish you could get your own sauces and drinks insteadof having a waitress. We appreciated the complimentary soft serve ice cream. It was not the best quality (similar to the icykind you get at a Chinese buffet but still good enough for being included and great for the kids). Creamed corn, fries, andonion straws were good.

This is delicious barbecue!!! The electricity on the block went out while we were eating but the food is sooo delicious! Their... fried okra was amazing! And their Mac and cheese... divine. They just changed to white cheddar, which is usually hit or miss ontaste, but they totally hit it! I had their sausage and it was really good. Their basic BBQ sauce was quite delicious and theirsweet tea was tasty (not old tasting at all!). I'm very impressed and will definitely return! Just a note, you pay up frontwhen you order, but they serve you your drinks, food, sauces, etc and definitely earn a tip. I didn't realize how it worked whenI first went in, so just a heads up... tips would be definitely earned! (I thankfully had cash on hand) Read more
Heres the honest review: great place, absolutely worth going to There are 3 parts to bbq. The meat, the sauce, and the... service. The meats i had were brisket and pork. Both were awesome but the pork was definitely a cut above. The service was sogood it was almost creepy. Like they read my mind always ready to help. Very southern and very appreciated. If i had to giveone critique, it would be thr sauce. I like my sauces bold and flavorful but not sweet. Their bold sauce definitely was a 5/5,however none of their other sauces were even really appealing to me. Absolutely go here if you have the chance! Read more
Was not a bad visit. The service from start to finish was spot on. The restaurant is kept clean and comfortable. Had the brisket... and sausage combo with sweet beans and okra. The brisket was really good but the sausage was dry and flavorless and way belowaverage. The beans were good and the okra was great. Would definitely eat there again but will skip the sausage. Wish I couldremember the servers name because he did an excellent job. Read more
Ordered food at home, than drive 10 mins to restaurant. It?s my first time here and I wanted to do curbside but there was not a... designated area. I saw the drive thru so I went through. There were two cars in front of me and I am still sitting here 20minutes later!!!!!! My food is going to be rubbery and cold. Don?t use the drive thru unless you clear your week to wait untilyour dust because your cannot leave once you?re in line due to the design of the building. When I asked about the curbside thelady rudely told me we don?t do that here. Read more
First off you walk in and get hit with that comforting smoke smell probably best thing about the place! I had the brisket burnt... ends they where tender and flavorful portion sizes just right. Sweet tea 9/10 would go ahead and give it a 10 but no one canbeat grandmas sweet tea it?s a rule. The place has a nice home feeling prices are maybe a buck or two high but food was great! Read more
Swadley's had some great tasting barbecue. I got the signature sampler platter and my colleague got the chicken fried steak and... said it wad great. The green beans were excellent as well. Our server was very helpful and shared all of the cool things to dowhile in Oklahoma City. Swadley's also catered our client's business lunch today and they did a great job serving up smokedbeef brisket and barbecue chicken. Read more
