    Elvis is Alive! The king
    Morghan G.

    My husband and I wanted Oklahoma BBQ along our long road trip home for the holidays. Earl's Rib Palace staff was super friendly, helpful, and quick to get us back on our journey. The food was amazing and the ambiance exactly how I want my BBQ joint to be.

    Amazing food, service is great and speedy, the place is clean but for the money the portions are small. Otherwise, I recommend this place if you don't want to get your money worth.

    We ordered from door dash I'm not sure which Earls our food came from. My family has been going to Earls on Reno for several years. We have never seen this kind of poor food ever. I know what the ribs look like. These little tiny skinny ribs are not what I'm used to getting. Very disappointed. I love earls but when you order from a delivery service I feel like they give you the throw aways.

    I'm down in Oklahoma frequently so this was not my first time at Earl's. I allow myself one bbq visit a trip and try to switch it up. Earls was close to the hotel I was staying at so I figured I would just go there. It's hard for me not to get ribs at a bbq spot, especially a place called the 'rib palace' I went for the Rib Dinner which was moderately priced at $13.95 I believe. It came with corn on the cob and and a big baked potato with about 4-5 ribs I believe The ribs were super tender and pretty much fall of the bone. I could never eat a full slab of those so the dinner was perfect and affordable. Service was fine and the waitress was attentive and very nice. I had sweet tea that was also delicious. I should have opted for some cobbler to go but I just couldn't think of eating anything else I recommend earls as a good stop if you're in okc. It's family friendly with lots of decent sized tables

    Sometimes I just forget how good their BBQ is! Had the Smokestack Sandwich with fried okra and they did not disappoint! Loaded with chopped brisket, hot links, and coleslaw, I could only eat half the sandwich! Their in-house BBQ sauces come in Mild or Hot but you can ask for their FIRE sauce, which is made with Ghost Pepper. Good thing they have amazing sweet tea to put the fire out! It had been a while since we've visited this location and they've cleaned up quite a bit! The service was also very personable and friendly! I should visit more often when I'm craving top notch BBQ!

    Thanks guys, the food at this location was absolutely great. The wings were crispy and well done;the bacon wrapped jalapeños were of the chain, tasty and not too spicy and the deviled eggs were very tasty as well.

    I'll keep it short and sweet. The ribs were FANTASTIC. Fall-off-the-bone fantastic. Taste was great. Sauces were great. Okra was great. Corn was great. Service was great. 100% I would come back if I'm ever in the area. Thank you for the delicious ribs!

I read about them on wikipedia... and apparently Oklahoma was the first one to create them. they were made during the great depression, were the owner would mash onion with the beef patty to stretch out the meat.... and back then, burgers were 5 cents. Fast forward to almost 100 years later, my burger was about 11 bucks. Don't get me wrong, the burger was decently sized, but it was just alright. I mean, if i wanted to get an onion burger i could simply go to in n out and get a burger with grilled onions and raw onion as well. so, while the burgers were good, it didn't wow me and maybe it was too hyped up and it didn't live to its hype, is the reason i only gave it 3 stars. The fries on the other hand were great. The parking lot right in front is really small, but there are plenty of seats inside and outside.

We found only a brunch menu until 4. So about only option that wasn't breakfast type was fried pickles and one hamburger. Yelp, ordered them and hamburger was pretty good. I really wish now we had waited for dinner. We did get to watch line dance lessons while we ate today. This place is set up to hold larger groups to dine and party together. The major neg was the flies! Lots of flies! Not even any of the garage doors open ? They have lots of outdoor seating too. Huge bar inside goes all the way around the oval bar station. Room to back has several pool tables and of course the riding bull. Rugged place good for drinking, entertainment nights. Love to come back on a Tuesday evening for karaoke.

The rolls look dense and heavy but they're surprisingly light and sweet. Mac and cheese gives a 'queso' vibe which is addictive. Okra is hand breaded. The steak was ok. Honestly not a fan of the jalapeño glaze so even in the side it was a bit hot. If the steak was seasoned, it was bleak because the meat was extremely bland. But it was hot and fresh and Mikayla, our server, took the best care of us!! We will be back! Wifey tip- the drinks look impressive! Everyone around us was partaking. Yummy!

We also opted for a nearby restaurant or food trucks. Until we finally walked in and gave it a shot. Now I'm a little upset we took so long to do it! I got the Park Power Bowl - quinoa, sweet potatoes, avocado hummus, roasted chickpeas, candied jalapeños, almonds, and a little more. The candied jalapeños were the best part, but the whole bowl was amazing! And it was huge! I only at half and took the rest home. The kids got an uncrustable and the chicken bites and shared some fries - pretty standard, exactly what you expect. But my husband got a burger. For the life of me can't remember which one now, but he was so surprised with how good it was that he ordered a second to take home with us. I surprised the kids with a seasonal Lemon Pound Cake shake to share for dessert. I'm not a huge fan of milkshakes, but it was tempting to get a second just so I didn't have to share this with the kids! I don't know if it was the Lemon Pound Cake in there or if they secretly added some crack, but our straw was slurping the very bottom just from the time it left the counter and made it outside to the sidewalk walk. I will forever try any new food trucks that come around, but on days they aren't at scissor tail but I am, Spark will have my business now.

This was our first visit, and from the moment we took our first bite, I couldn't stop telling my wife how incredible these burgers were. I ordered the BLC Burger topped with pimento cheese, bacon, a crispy cheddar crust, pickles, and Prairie Ranch. Every bite was packed with flavor, and the crispy cheddar crust took it over the top. Outstanding! My wife, Lori, ordered the Spark Burger, swapping the American cheese for cheddar. She absolutely loved it, especially the fresh dill pickles that added the perfect crunch and flavor. The crinkle-cut fries deserve a shout-out, too. They were cooked just the way I like them--nice and crispy. I ordered the signature Pink Sauce on the side, and the garlic aioli was excellent. Before we left, I asked to speak with a manager--not because there was a problem, but because I wanted to compliment the team. Marisol was genuinely excited to hear how much we enjoyed our meal. She also told us about their limited-time Chicken Salad Sandwich, available through the end of the summer, and after this experience, I think we'll definitely be back to give it a try. Spark checks every box for me: outstanding burgers, perfectly cooked fries, a fun atmosphere, and a friendly, welcoming staff. If you're looking for one of the best burgers in Oklahoma City, put Spark on your list. This one earns an easy 5 stars from me.
