We ordered out from Billy Sims BBQ. Our order was ready in the time it took to drive in for pick up. It was "Q" done right. We had the combo of 1/2 lb each of chopped brisket, pulled pork, and polish sausage. All were excellent!! The sides were generous and tasty. Lots of leftovers after feeding four adults. We would definitely be back if we lived in OK. Unfortunately, we are heading back home tomorrow. read more

I threw away the brisket I bought there and drove to Dickie's. It was dry and not flavorful. I'm not going back.

Good little spot before watching softball all night!! Half rack of ribs did the trick.

We arrived right at 11 a.m. when the opened and were the first customers of the day. The sliced brisket sandwich was outstanding. The brisket was tender and flavorful. They also toasted the buns. The side of mac & cheese was delicious as well. All three sauces on the table are a nice touch. Great place for BBQ, and if you're a Sooners or college football fan the atmosphere is great. read more

It was our first time here and the food is good and friendly service. It's the best BBQ we have had since moving here 1 year ago. We tried 3 others before eating here. The brisket is good but a little dry. The restaurant could use a remodel inside but it's good food. read more

This location is a roulette game every time we go. yesterday was no different. It usually seems clean enough and quiet. The kids working were nice and accommodating. One constant is the sides are always good. I love their regular potato salad! My husband and oldest love their mac an cheese. It is just ok for me. The real reason we go is the sliced brisket. On this visit the brisket was tough and not really cooked long enough. The fat was barely cooked. The ribs my mother ordered were on the small side. One half of the table was served sides in small baskets the other were served in the regular sides Styrofoam cups. The baskets were substantially larger. It was a bit odd, I had never seen that before. The polish sausage was what one would expect. The hot BBQ sauce is enough to cover the mistakes they make on the meat. We will be back but hope for better brisket next time! read more

The ribs were decent. I ordered a hot link. What I got was a non beef hot dog with jalapeños and cheese in it. That's not a hot link. And it was gross. read more

Billy Sims BBQ - billys was unforgettable - Barbeque Near Me - Norman, Oklahoma

Delicious food. Brisket was mouthwatering flavor packed with a smoky undertone. Mac and cheese was creamy and comforting. Potato salad better than moms, not granny's though. Coleslaw was bright and complimented the deep flavors of the meat. Quick and friendly service. read more

This place is amazing! Food is great and the staff is nothing short of friendly and helpful. The food is fresh and tastes how BBQ should taste. The sauce is really good and a selection of 3 are available. If you are in Norman do not miss coming here! read more

Billy Sims BBQ - Great food! - Barbeque Near Me - Norman, Oklahoma

Stopped in during a visit to Norman and we were all very pleased with the food. I got Sliced Brisket, Ribs, and Jalapeno Sausage, and the others got Chopped Brisket, Pulled Pork and a Pulled Pork Sandwich. All of the meat was tender and full of flavor - I didn't use any sauce. The Ribs came off the bone cleanly but didn't fall apart. Each of the sides were also well above average. I especially liked the Baked Beans and Baked Potato Salad. This is definitely a regular stop in Norman. diningoutdfw.com read more

Billy Sims BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Norman, Oklahoma

One of my 2 orders, smoked barbecue sandwich pulled pork with baked potato salad. sad first time I ate here definitely wasn't impressed wait staff sucked 1) before I left I asked the gentleman if they put barbecue sauce in my bag he said yes I looked did not have it. 2) I called my order in I was told 10 minutes for my order to be ready. I knew it was going to take me awhile to get there because I wasn't in Norman so I called in my order. It took me 30 minutes to get there. Because I never ate there I asked the gentleman what is in the baked potato salad. He said is a mixture of a loaded baked potato and potato salad as you can see there is no pickles, no bacon no cheese, not even an onion. 3) whenever I got home and I looked at my food I was very disappointed for spending $25 on this and I still didn't get onions pickles or pepper in my platter. 4) whenever I called to let the gentleman know that there was no pickles onions or pepper on my platter, he was very rude and condescending, "what do you want me to do". Really! not Even very nice & not customer service skills at all. Especially when you mess up on someone's order. read more

Billy Sims BBQ - the menu for the sandwich - Barbeque Near Me - Norman, Oklahoma

Great BBQ, friendly staff .... lots of Billy Sims/OU memorabilia!! ... will visit again.

Was surprised that I liked Billy Sims' so much. Given the number of locations, I thought the quality would drop. It wasn't the best BBQ I've ever had, but it's certainly above average, and better than some options in Norman that are fairly popular (not mentioning specific names). I had the two meat combo with pulled pork and ribs. It comes with Texas toast and your choice of two sides. I selected beans and potato salad. Of the two, I preferred the ribs, but both meats were very good. The pulled pork was tender, and you get a nice sized portion. The ribs had a very good dry rub, no sauce needed. Nice smoke, and they pulled away nicely from the bone. I'd order both again. The potato salad was standard BBQ joint potato salad. It wasn't earth shattering, but it was fine. The beans were better, lots of meat and you can tell a lot of seasoning is used. They are cooked very well, not so long that they end up in a sloppy mess and they maintain their integrity. I didn't find the "hot" sauce to be very hot. I'll see if there's a hotter option next time. But, like I said, this is some solid BBQ, despite the growth of the brand. read more

Found this spot on Yelp.... SO glad we came! The staff was very friendly, helpful and had patience with our large group. The prices are VERY reasonable for the amount of food you get! The food... AMAZING!!! The our group enjoyed everything from the brisket, chicken, links and ribs! They have 2 different bbq sauces, both very tasty! We left full and happy and definitely will be heading back to our homes in California and Colorado with a great memory! read more

Food: 5/5 Service: 3/5 Cleanliness: 3/5 Decor & Style: 2/5 All dishes are flavorful. From polish sausages, ribs, cole slaw, brisket, to hot sauce. I'm a fan of it all. Service was slow during evening hours and I am not a big fan of the decor, just not my style. Some of the staff members are very friendly and some are, well, quite odd, don't know how else to describe them! lol. Been here many times, will be back! read more

Great Brisket. I stopped at Panera for a coffee in the morning and I smelled something smoking with hardwood. I drove throught the adjacent shopping center and that's where I spotted Billy Sims BBQ. Had the Brisket sandwich and a piece of smoked sweet corn. Very good. Surprized a chain of multiple locaions can have such good food. The portions were fine for a lunch sandwich. I told the guys I was a backyard "smoker" and asked if I could see the unit. They obliged. read more

We tried this place after driving past Amarillo, Texas. We drove for more than an hour, maybe even two hours without seeing anything except for fast food outlets until we hit Elk City, OK. Finally this Bbq chain outlet showed up on our phone search and we went for it. Needless to say we were hungry so that may have influenced our opinion of the place. I got the pulled pork sandwich (triple 20?) and my wife got the 4 rib combo. Both were great. My sandwich was piled high with tender pork and cole slaw on a good bun: nice and soft but it held up to all of the sauce on it. I got potato salad on the side and they offered pickles and onions for my sandwich. It was awesome, AND I could easily eat it on the road. My wife loved her combo, 4 baby back ribs with 2 sides and bread. The servers were 3 friendly guys and it was very quick as far as service. I would only offer one suggestion for change and that would be to offer some beef items on the menu. But that's just my preference, no stars lost. Billy Sims knows his BBQ! read more

It is average quality BBQ. When we bought the large pack to feed a crowd of hungry men... we realized this is NOT a "go to" BBQ place even in a pinch. The 3 1/2 pound meat pack comes with 6 pieces of bread and no... They will not provide more even if you request more slices. It comes with 1 pint of sauce... Yes, 1 pint for 3 1/2 lbs meat. The meat had an inordinate amount of fat. The service was flat, not personable, and irritated when I asked for more bread and sauce. I asked to buy additional sauce. It is unfortunate that Billy Sims is in no way associated with this restaurant. With his face on the front, I think he might run it differently. read more

I hate leaving a place and smelling like food UNLESS I'm going to eat Korean BBQ or at Nic's. Billy Sims was no exception because I ended up leaving and then smelling like I was left in a smoke house to cook medium rare. :( Joking aside, the BBQ is not half bad. I took an order of the pulled pork to go and was happy with the protein portion, but I really didn't like the potato salad or my other side which I have already forgotten about because it was terrible... For what you pay you get a good helping- kudos for that! I will be back to try something different next time. read more

Ordered the brisket and ribs and chicken. Smoked with pecan and had a great taste. Brisket was sliced to thin. Overall not bad as bbq goes. read more

Great BBQ, the place smells like smoked BBQ. If you are a fan of OU football you will enjoy the memorabilia.

Really good food, but the service sucks all around. The manager put us on hold for 10 minutes to place a to go order, we went inside instead of waiting and he was just sitting down. They messed up our order and we called to get it fixed, but they seemed clueless when we arrived to get it fixed and had an attitude. read more

slap yo momma good bbq!!!! Everytime I go there I'm wowed by the quality of food and service...I used to be a vans pigs tan guy but have since been changed...Billy Sims all damn day #boomerque read more

Pros: Friendly helpful staff Best bbq beans, sweet and tasty Delicous smokey turkey Lots of football pics and sportsbar atmosphere Cons:Sandwiches not that big Notes: Dropped by before driving back to Dallas at 10:00am. Although the restaurant opens at 11:00am, the staff opened the door and let us in to order food. That was very nice of them. read more

Good food at a great value. My son loves the baked potato and sides and the barbecue is full of flavor. Can't beat it for any day of the week dining. read more

Went for lunch while in town was not crowded had lots of football memorabilia from Sims and Ok. Food was good and hit the spot. Seating was booths and some tables. I had the special which was Brisket with some fried bologna and some sliced sausage on a nice bun. It was tasty. I had Mac and Cheese as a side that came with it. The mac was ok nothing special. There are 3 sauces on the table. I chose the spicy one and it went well and had a good taste. They are a chain so not really a mom and pop place but for a quick lunch it was pretty tasty. read more

I'm from Texas and I'm on my way to Kansas. Had to stop an try Boomer-Que. the ribs were perfect. Nice and tender. Both the ribs and brisket were a little lite on rub, but I'm not in Texas anymore. Beans were a little sweet. They are a baked bean rather than the pintos we have back home. I believe it is a great place to stop when you are away from home. read more

I've eaten there numerous times. I always go on Tuesday for all you can eat ribs. They are big and meaty. There's Billy Sims football memorabilia and 4 TVs playing sports. My favorite BBQ place and I highly recommend it read more

The food here is okay. The bbq is okay it's just not great. Also I think the price is a little high for the portions you get. Also every time I come here there are only two people working and a line around 5 people long. It takes a long time to get through the line and most of the time I feel like the food isn't as hot as it could be. read more

Excellent bbq with delicious sauces...one of our favorites especially when we have picnics and outdoor gatherings!

Ordered 2 meat combo from GrubHub. This was very good pulled pork and turkey - I'd highly recommend. The slaw is good and the green beans are edible, not great. Overall this was an excellent dinner for a traveler that didn't feel like going out. read more

Hands down the best tasting BBQ in Norman, plus they have a decent lunch special, just over $6 gets you a sandwich with your choice of meat, a side and a drink. Not the easiest place to find, they are tucked in just behind Panara Bread off Main Street. read more

I ordered ribs two side dishes and a gallon of lemonade. The ribs were by far the worst ribs I have ever eaten. It was apparent that the ribs were old. They were cold and extremely dry. If this is the best Billy Sims has to offer then I will never ever eat there again. If this wasn't the best they can do then what did I deserve not to get their best. All I did was order food. read more
