Considering the amount of choices there are in the Oklahoma City area, you would think they all would be doing everything possible to keep customers. I have been a bulwark for Earl's for many years, however, as with all restaurants things tend to go south at some point. So it seems to have happened, as three of the last four pulled pork sandwiches I have had from Earl's have been at least 1/3 gristle. Anyone in food prep should know better than to serve that to a customer, especially considering this is a $10 sandwich. read more

So, we just got into town from a very long 2 day drive and really wanted bbq for dinner with our family. Planned to get it from another place. However, in today's climate, we wanted to make sure all safety measures were being taken before we made our pick up order. The other place told me that none of their staff wear masks, but made a point to tell me they do all wear gloves. WHAT?!?! The masks are what prevent the spread of droplets! So, I called Earl's and they were surprised that I thought they might NOT be wearing masks. They said, "Of course we all do!" Yay!!! We got some tasty and safe bbq for dinner!!! Thank you to the staff at Earl's for caring about your customers! It means a lot!!! read more

We have been eating here for years! We walked in today sand were told to have a seat! No more ordering at the counter! Big mistake. We took a seat and never ever got waited on!! So we left! Never coming back as long as this type of service system is in effect!! read more

This place has gone downhill. Have eaten there for years, but last two visits have been disappointing. The fries were returned to finish cooking!! They were so mushy! The ribs are half the size they used to be and so fatty. The BBQ sauce used to be delicious, but even that has changed. The smoked chicken was as good as usual. I'm going elsewhere for ribs. Tired of getting bad food. read more

For years I loved Earls but the last couple of times we ate at this location the food just wasn't as good as it used to be. The sliced brisket was fatty and my sides were not even warm. Won't be going back to soon. read more

Forgot our sides and all the toppings for one baked potato! Small order, really don't see how you forget that much. Had a receipt for proof but didn't wanna deal with with the staff. read more

I like it! I'm not a BBQ connoisseur but I like good ribs and this place has them. Even with finicky eaters in the family, everyone has something they can order and enjoy. Order the large ribs with sauce on the side. Had enough leftovers for 2 more meals. We were there on a night that the young ladies from the local high school Color Guard were doing a fundraiser by waiting tables. I like a local business that gets involved with the community and if for no other reason, will eat there just for that. How do I find out when the next community fundraiser will be?? read more

Pre-ordered food for Christmas Eve and was given a 1:00 pm pick up time. Arrived and paid for order at 12:55 and received our food 55 minutes later after asking where it was 3 times. People arrived after we did who had not pre-ordered and were given their food immediately. will never pre-order again. Was treated like it did not matter when we ordered last in first out. Beware!!!!! read more

Always have had great service when ordering take out or dining in. Fresh meats! Great okra! Friendly/helpful staff. No long waits!

Love their ribs and sliced brisket! Great fried okra and baked beans too. I never regret stopping by for lunch anytime I'm on Broadway.

Simply exceptional ribs. Dry rubbed and smoked to perfection they are moist, meaty and very tender. Earl's deserves its reputation as Oklahoma's best ribs. We both had the rib dinner and even the sides were excellent. What's most impressive is the level of service and sincere concern that you are enjoying your dinner. No less than 4 different staff stopped by our table to ask how the food was, would we like our drinks refilled, what else could they get for us etc.. It was a terrific dining experience. We are originally from Kansas City and know a great rib joint or maybe 10 great rob joints. Earl's were the best we've had in our 7 years in Oklahoma. Swadleys ribs are very good, Leo's very good, but Earl's will make want to slap your momma! read more

We love the cheddar burgers. They're fresh & hot EVERYTIME. Kids menu has lots of choices including their ribs. Kids also able to choose any side, that's a plus for my kids! read more

Earl's Rib Palace - Root beer floats with the kids meals! - Barbeque Near Me - Edmond, Oklahoma

Good food. Great fries. My aunt prefers rib crib, but I think she's an uncultured swine. The slaw is different somehow. I think because they expect it to be put on sandwiches? I hate coleslaw(maybe I'm the uncultured swine?), so I don't remember what makes it different. Vinegar? Anyway, the traditional BBQ is good and all, but there's only one thing I want to hear at Earl's. "Burger down, wings down!" read more

I had the absolutely best cheeseburger on Saturday night. Way to go Earls's on Broadway!! I used to get the cheeseburger from the Earls's on Western because theirs was fabulous but the Broadway one just didn't compare. All that changed Saturday night. You were just as good, maybe even better, than Earls's on Western. Thank you. We'll be back. Costs more now but hey, it comes with a side and it's worth it. read more

Unknowingly I arrived about 15 minutes before closing. I was greeted with a smile and was told to sit anywhere . Crystal was my server and after a brief introduction she suggested what was essentially a sampler. It was very good. The flavor was great but the meats could have been hotter (temp not spice). The atmosphere was fine with a friendly environment. I have no idea how it stacks up to other BBQ places but I highly recommend Earl's. read more

Earls typically is really good. Tonight's food delivered via Postmates was not. The food was not at all fresh. The skin on the baked potato was brown and crumbly. The surface of ribs was dry and stringy. The Turkey was dried out and discolored. Every single other item, with the exception of the green beans and grilled chicken breast, was not fresh. When I spoke with the manager, she blamed Postmates, stating it sat around too long. It sat around too long alright - at least all day. Manager stated there was nothing she could do. There are too many good bbq places in this area to accept this. Earls just lost a longtime customer. read more

Having lunch. Ordered at counter. Food was brought to us at right temperature in reasonable time. Food was good but I don't like their potato salad. Wings were excellent. read more

Earl's Rib Palace - Lunch special - Barbeque Near Me - Edmond, Oklahoma

See all

We are new to Edmond and tonight was our second visit to Earl's. On our first visit, a couple of months ago, we ate inside and really enjoyed our meal. That is why we returned tonight. Unfortunately, tonight's experience left us wondering where the flavor went. The pulled pork and the brisket tasted like it had been cooked in a smokeless oven. The sides were lacking as well. read more

Friendly staff and great BBQ! Ordered ribs/pulled pork and chopped brisket. Love the fast service!

The service was above and beyond our expectations! Our family is in debt towards the graciousness and compassion the staff showed us during our moment of sadness. Truly a blessing that Earls was the choice for dinner tonight! Thank you! read more

Always good always filling and very friendly service. The hot links are hot... the sliced brisket is wonderful. We went with a group of 8 including 2 kids under 3 and they were very accommodating. Service is pretty quick. We will return. read more

Picked up takeout and the staff couldn't have been nicer! There was a little wait so they offered drinks and a snack while we waited. Highly recommend! read more

Earl's catered my son's wedding rehearsal dinner. Everything was Excellent. Provided everything we needed delivered to us. I would highly recommend using them for any occasion read more

My husband and I shared a meal here a month ago, and I'm just now calm enough to write this review. We both got terrible food poisoning. I called the manager as a courtesy, and he shuffled me off and told me it wasn't possible to get food poisoning from their food. What a terrible excuse and poor customer service. We will never be back. read more

Earl's is by far my favorite BBQ place, and there is a reason they've been voted the "best in bbq" in OKC so many times! I love the ribs, the pulled pork, brisket and all the sides, but on occasion have to get their cheeseburger. Cheeseburger, you ask? At a BBQ joint? Yes, the cheeseburger! It gets no respect, being from a BBQ joint and all, but it may be the best cheeseburger around. Once, (just once), I got some ribs that were very dry. The manager came by asking how everything was and I told him the truth. He was so embarrassed and appreciative that he brought us another rib order to go. They care. read more

Hopeful. After telling a friend of mine about the demise of Steve's Ribs quality, he recommended Earls. Went in for lunch and tried the brisket sandwich. The bun was grilled with butter. Good amount of brisket nicely stacked across the bun. The brisket itself was tender and not dry - had a real "smoked" flavor, as opposed to a "wood disc smoke" flavor, a la Billy Sims. Barbeque sauce provided in squeeze bottles tasted ok. I might be biased against the sauce, as I generally don't trust the age of sauce sitting in those containers - do they change it out, or just add to it? I don't know, hence the apprehension. The side of curly fries was generous and lightly seasoned - great! I going to come back and try their ribs, which should be a better test of their barbeque quality. Three stars for now - will go to four if the ribs work out well, stay tuned! :o) Edit: Tried the Rib Dinner to go - 5 ribs, nice surprise! They were juicy, meaty, and not overdone - had a good bite. They also had a real "smoked" flavor like the brisket. I could tell Earls puts some kind of mop on the surface of the ribs, which wasn't bad, but I prefer dry rubs with the option of saucing them myself. My sides were baked beans and curly fries (again!). The beans had a good rich flavor, not drenched in barbeque sauce. I'm giving Earls 4 stars with the disclaimer that I'm still looking for my 5 star pick! :o) read more

I have been coming to earls for years and they have changed everything. Their ribs are dry and on top of that they are freezer burned. Their food is no longer the way it used to be. Earls used to be a quality place to eat now it is flat out aweful. read more

Earl's is a great BBQ restaurant either dropping in for lunch or having dinner with the family. I have stopped by there a few times and have picked up food to go as well. Overall the ribs, pulled pork, ribs and chicken are very good. The cole slaw has way too much onions for my taste and the beans are just ok. They do have great tea and fairly fast service which is important to me. My favorite thing is the brisket sandwich topped with cole slaw (just pull off some of the onions). Overall a very good place to eat and fairly reasonable price. read more

I don't eat at Earl's often, but today I went to pick up a togo order for work and WOW! The service level was such a breath of fresh air compared to what you get at a lot of places these days. When I made the togo order, the man I spoke to answered my questions and made suggestions, which was helpful. Then, when I arrived, everyone working had a smile on their face and looked like they genuinely liked their job. On top of that, they were attentive and immediately offered a complimentary drink while I waited for my order. I was just impressed with their speed and service overall. The food was great too! Way to go! I'll be back for sure. read more

Just back from lunch at Earl's. Popular place; very busy at lunch on Friday. My wife had a chopped bbq brisket sandwich and shared a portion with me. Good, smoky flavor. I had hot wings. Very good wings, though a few of them were a little over done. Still, I'd go there again for sure. read more

This place smells amazing walking up, and the hamburgers are not bad, but as for melt in your mouth bbq, this isn't it. The brisket is very fatty, even for a bbq place. The meals are very large though. At lunch you order and pay and then they bring the food, never eaten there at dinner. It's very relaxed, and the employees don't really pay attention to any sort of detail. Its an ok place if it happens to be convenient to your location, but the tougher meat and fatty makes me say try something else. read more

First time at Earls Rib Place. We took relatives from out of town. The food was great. The prices are much more reasonable than the other BBQ places. Service was great. Ribs were the most tender I've had. This is now our new BBQ place! read more

I would eat a chopped brisket sandwich every day if I lived closer. My mouth starts to crave Earls the second I step off the plane into OKC. The fries used to be better, but I douse them in BBQ sauce and they taste good anyway. read more

Good service. The food was fast in coming to the table. The fried okra was really good, but the actual barbecue was just ok. It needed the hot sauce to have more than just a little flavor. It's really just a BBQ sauce delivery system. Not bad, but not great. read more

We found Earl's on Yelp and we were very pleased. We got Earl's binge which was four choices of meat and two sides. The hot links, ribs, and pulled pork were all fabulous. The fried okra was cooked perfectly and the Cole slaw was fantastic. Not too sweet but a nice accent of snow peas. A definite must try if your in the area. read more

‍Had to give a big thank you to this place .I did a order threw the drive up-window and didnt explain the sandwiches I ordered well ‍ and was on my lunch break picking it up .when I called to see if I got the wrong order ......and then realized I did the order wrong they took the time to correct my order and not just that.... they went above and beyond and brought it all the way to my work thank you guys so much I will always love this place. read more

Used to get Earls ribs and brisket all of the time. Loved the fall-off-the-bone meat. Unfortunately it is not that way anymore. Tonight we had a to go order of ribs and brisket. When we got home we opened up the containers to dry, tough ribs that stuck to the bone and dry, brittle brisket with little flavor. Not your best Earls. Not your best. read more

Interesting decor, good food friendly service. I would definitely return when in the area.

Good service, mediocre-crappy food. Don't get desert, ribs, or the brisket. Dry as sand and way too bland.

Earl's cheddar burger with grilled onions is one of the best burgers in town. Match that with fries, okra or one of their other delicious sides they are all good. ... Oh the barbecue is pretty good too. read more
