Better, by far than Swadleys. Never chewy. Never not quite done. Service is always great. Restaurant is always clean and inviting. And their Sweet Tea is Oklahoma APPROVED yummy Desserts are awesome. Love that we can keep the mason jar read more

Food was ok. Brisket was a bit dry. Baked potato salad was weird. Pulled pork was ok. Ribs were ok. Green beans tasted canned.

Food was good. Service good. Food was very small portions, won't be wasting money here again. read more

Always GREAT Food and EXCELLENT Service! Today, I enjoyed a Rib and Pulled Pork diner. The Sides were Green Beans, Potato Salad, Baked Beans, and Coleslaw. Everything was DELICIOUS!!! read more

I've been to this restaurant twice and had a good experience both times I've been here for supper. The employees are always friendly and get food ready whether it's to go or in the restaurant the only bad part is the seat cushions have duct tape all over them so it makes it hard to get in and out of the booth. Other than that I enjoy coming here. read more

Great service very good food I go here very often I love the barbecued ribs, the chopped brisket, corn on the cob and butter and green beans. I love this place. read more

I had the Huesman sandwich. It was delicious. I'm partial to the hot sauce and my compliments to the manager and his staff who perfected the art of this sandwich and bbq science. read more

The Turkey was undercooked I think. The turkey had a little pinkish in it and it was like if you had put it in the oven and taken it out to early. it was to juicy and just wasn't "right" it was sortove good but felt weary of eating it because it wasn't cooked enough basically... The texture was off too it was like Rubbery & gelatenous the green beans were good. I would not order the Turkey again ever. read more

Billy Sims BBQ - turkey with some green onions - Barbeque Near Me - Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

I give this a four stars review because I branched out and decided to eat grass for dinner BUT I had it with a twist! That twist was turkey and bits of pulled pork to add a bbq flavor to a healthy and classic option. The dressing was this smoked bbq ranch that I've tried to recreate. BECAUSE IT WAS SO GOOD. It changed my perspective on salads and what you could add in them: smoked corn cut off the cob , pulled pork, slice turkey, and many basics. The macaroni was okay. I could tell it tasted better at its peak but I got a batch that was a bit bland and not as creamy from sitting out. The prices were fair and the options were good. I would definitely go back. The staff was nice and the room was clean. Oh yea. The food was good! Ha read more

Billy Sims BBQ - a salad in a tray - Barbeque Near Me - Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

Good clean courteous and good que. will definitely use this as an option going to OKC airport

1st of all, the food was good. The place was clean. The workers were friendly. Those three facts make this place worthwhile. Most places can't meet all those criteria. I had the 2 meat combo and was full at the end. This place exceeded my expectations. Wish they had this franchise in my home state of Connecticut. The location of this place makes it a must stop for all visitors to Oklahoma City. It's literally right down the street from the airport. read more

Well I'm guessing that they listened to your feedback because I just gave it a try and they greeted me immediately as soon as I walked in, prepped my food while I paid and was ready to go by the time I signed the receipt. The gentleman there was very friendly and polite. Grabbed a pound of sliced brisket and a side of beans. Pricing was as expected. Brisket was good to go, strong smokey flavor and tender. Not the best I've ever had bit certainly worth the price. Beans were good, seems like shredded brisket in the beans. I would not hesitate to eat here again. read more

Wow this is a tough review to write. Coming from the Bay Area I was raised on BBQ joints like Flints and Everett and Jones. I came to expect poor ghetto customer service and to this day my Bro and I still joke about the experiences at Flints. When we arrived at our hotel I could smell BBQ coming from a few places and I decided to walk across the street to Billy Sims. First thing that I noticed when I came in was the joint was empty. Then I noticed that nobody acknowledged us coming in. We just stood at the counter before I had to ask the lady to take our order. WOW flash back early 80's I was back in Oakland at Flints and this lady was rude! She seriously acted like we were wasting her time. The guy that took our order for sides was ok but we couldn't understand a word that came out of his mouth. I order ribs and brisket and my daughter ordered pulled pork and brisket. The food was damn good. The ribs were cooked to perfection and the beans were awesome. The spicy sauce could have used a little more kick but it had good flavor. I liked the potato salad, it was a little different then I was used to, but not bad. When we were leaving I went to get a lid for my drink and they were all covered in some sort of grease and dust, like they were sitting in the kitchen for a year. This kinda grossed me out a little. As we ate we also noticed a few of the employees arguing amongst each other, especially when the side order guy went into the bathroom on his cell phone and didn't come out for 20 minute. The manager walked around clueless. Its a shame that this place has service like this, and I don't know if Billy Sims has anything to do with the day to day operation or if his name is just on the door, but someone need to fix this, because it is some really good food. read more

This place is great! They were out of cut brisket, but the chopped brisket was a very suitable substitute. The ribs are fantastic, and the hot links, I just can't get enough of. Mac n Cheese and coleslaw sides went terrific with everything. I have nothing but good things to say about this place. Probably the best fast food BBQ joint I've ever been to! Keep it up! read more

The best BBQ I've found in OKC, which doesn't say much as this is the only BBQ place I've been to in OKC. I'm so happy with the service, food and selection. I had the "Heisman" sandwich which was so tasty, with three different types of meat! The ribs were good too ! Awesome! read more

I will rarely give a 5 star, but this place deserves it. I was little apprehensive about coming here , especially after reading one reviewing stating they soak their ribs in grease...not sure how you came to that conclusion, but it is far from the truth. I have found real BBQ and smoke meat is an art , and this man has done it right, brisket so tender if cuts with a plastic fork, meat falls off the ribs. Love this place. I can't wait to come back. read more

Time and Time again people I work with talk me into going to BIlly Sims and time and time again I gave it another chance! This is by far the worst bbq around the metro area!! In order to make the meal worth wasting lunch or dinner on you have to spend about 14$ to 18$ a person only to be disapointed in lack if flavor! And they give u just enough meat on the plate to justify selling it. The Manager is a pretty cool guy he seems to pick up on the fact you are in a hurry for lunch but some of the staff not so much! Save your money and time go somewhere else read more

I am from the east coast where BBQ is very different, but I was very pleased. I was driving by and stopped on a whim and I am so glad I did. The food was great and the portion size was generous. Service was friendly and fast. read more

Billy Sims BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

I really wanted to like this place. Billy Sims was a great football player. The Q at this establishment was like a two yard run -- nothing spectacular. Sausage stuffed with cheese and peppers was good as was the pulled pork. The ribs were fair but the sliced brisket was so dry and ordinary it threw me for a loss. None of the sides made any yardage. Only the baked potato saved some ground. The mild sauce was too sweet and the hot sauce way to mild. I did enjoy the Texas Toast. The staff at this location seemed to think they could take the orders by memory. I watched them confuse the orders of 3 groups after they got mine wrong. WRITE IT DOWN. read more

First off.....the ribs were fall off the bone tender and tasty! Then I got to the the sides.....the macaroni and cheese tasted similar to macaroni with nacho sauce. Way too thick! Thick would be good, but it really didn't have much flavor except that of nacho cheese. The green beans had very little flavor as well. For dessert I got a turtle brownie that sadly wasn't anything special either. On Tuesday's they have an all-you-can-eat ribs for around $11.99. The ribs were good enough I might come back for that, but then again, there are so many other BBQ places in OKC to eat at, I may try another! The staff was very nice and helpful! read more

I went there for lunch. The food was just average. It was more about presentation. Nothing special about this BBQ. I am from Texas and this will not cut it. read more

I love BBQ. Austin, San Antonio, New Braunfels, Kansas City, Nashville, beef, pork, chopped, pulled, sliced; tender, moist and dripping in sauce. Billy Sims' BBQ brisket was lean, tender and smoky. The spicy sauce was sweet with a nice burn. Servers smiling and friendly. Cousin told me the ribs were good, too tho I didn't try 'em. Beans were sweet, and potato salad was chunky with a hint of dill, a nice balance for the beans. I recommend this place for good brisket and sides. read more

My family meets here for dinner every couple of months. My uncle eats more ribs then you would think humanly possible, so we always go on All you can eat Tuesday nights! Everyone who has joined us has always loved their ribs, they say they are the best they have found in OKC. I don't eat ribs, so i always opt for the turkey and i get the mac and cheese (always yummy) and the loaded potato salad, which is the best potato salad I've had at a restaurant! Sometimes my turkey is a little dry and sometimes the service isn't very consistent but other then that the food has always been great! read more

I' give it another half a star if I could but 3 stars would be giving it too much credit. Probably some of the worst BBQ I've had, priced at the prices of some of the best. Don't get me wrong, it's entirely edible, but I shouldn't be paying those prices for fast food BBQ that I watched them pull out of a bag. The brisket was dry and flavorless and the turkey tasted like a hunk of lunch meat they sliced. Definetely not worth the $15 price tag on my meal for 2 meats, sides and a drink. I might eat here again if it wasn't as pricy, but only because I stay across the street for work. I definitely wouldn't make a special trip. read more

I barley would even give this place one star! The only positive thing about this place is they put more cheese and butter on the potatoes then other locations however it would take me forever to chew the "chopped" brisket and it had no taste at all. I paid over $18.00 for a 2 meat plate to be this disappointed it tasted as thought they put the meat in a skillet flipped it a bit and put a lil salt/pepper no BBQ/smoked flavor found on anything on my plate. I am highly disappointed the location was bad and the rest errant was dirty along with the employees whom didn't seem to have good hygiene. read more

Talk about good, local eats - this is the place! About the only thing I did not like about the place was the ordering; its "down the line". You walk in, order..moved down the line, pay and then sit. Then again, it is a real BBQ place. Other then that, what is not to like? Cheap, and VERY generous portions, everything was awesome. Brisket was tender, pulled pork...I could go on and on but what else is there to say but perfect. The sides were all equally good. Even little things, like adding smoked corn to the salads. I am not sure you could go wrong with anything you order there. read more

WOW, that was horrible. Store bought green beens and cole slaw. Don't waste your time or money. $16.23 for less than a cup of pulled pork (sitting out all day and served cold) and eight pieces of polish kielbasa. Fore shame Mr. Sims, fore shame. It should be called The Billy Sims 30 minute cleanse...apparently this meal is going to haunt me for the next several hours, the Johnny Green Apple Quick Apple Steps if you know what I mean. There should be state food safety inspectors in Oklahoma. Go out of business now, before someone gets food poisoning. Again, if your in OKC...don't eat at Billy Sims BBQ, unless your looking for a quick cleanse. read more

This place has great bbq. The brisket was perfect and the meat on the ribs fell off. It was very good bbq. The sauce was sweet and tangy at the same time. I would highly recommend this place. I was traveling and decided to try. The service was quick and friendly and I got 10% off since I was staying at a local hotel. Try the banana pudding for desert. Try the place, you will not be disappointed. When I travel to OKC I will not miss out on the chance to eat here! read more

The baked beans here are great! Filled with brisket and southern style deliciousness. The ribs are tender but not freshly made. Seemed reheated. The sauces are not impressive but the staff is very friendly and polite. Excellent customer service. May go back for the beans and try the brisket read more

I like their sandwiches. They are good. My friends had the ribs and they said they were awesome. Grilled turkey and chicken are good as well. read more

So pleasantly surprised with this place! I Had a loaded potato with pulled pork and it was amazing. And the potato was HUGE! My husband had a chicken sandwich with green beans and he really enjoyed that as well. We also added a side of Mac and cheese which I wasn't too impressed with but I always make my own so I'm picky about it. The staff is unbelievably friendly especially the male cashier we had. If we lived in the area we would be back for sure. read more

Better BBQ in Florida. This was moist, tender, but salt overwhelmed the taste. 2 meats, 2 sides, 2 salty. Bring it back, Billy. read more

I guess that I am just used to Texas barbecue. It is probably the smallest amount of meat I've ever had on a barbecue sandwich and it was well dry. I guess it was sitting there all day. read more

Ribs were mediocre and "soaked" in grease. A ton of oil coming out of the ribs when I pinched them. Went there during a weekday and the atmosphere was decent. Customers were mostly tourists from the hotels on Meridian which makes me think this isn't the local hotspot. I might be wrong but I probably won't eat here again. read more

Food is pretty good. Typically have the Heisman. You get a good portion of several meets and a side for $7.99. Would rate higher but it takes forever for them to make a sandwich!! Lose the scale! read more

The facility was nice and clean. The pulled pork was over seasoned and it appeared that everything was prepackaged and brought into the store. Nothing in my experience has me wanting to return for another meal. read more
