    If you're in town for a graduation (or any other reason) stop by for great bbq & sides, for sure try the loaded potato with some pulled pork! We got the family meal with brisket. The bbq was delicious and perfectly smoked. The sauces were each an unique yummy experience. Aside from the food, the best part of our meal was the warm welcome and hospitality that we were shown. I can see why the locals love this place.

    See comments.  I even put the hot and mild sauce on it and it still wasn't better.

    Ok I never like giving bad reviews unless the shit is horrible. I done some errands and appointment yesterday b4 heading to the polls to vote. Keep in mind. We used to eat here all the time until Dallas moved away with his family and then Mrs D who made the potato salad b4 she stop working there when everything was on point and damn great. Now this was my 2nd time this year 2025 . 1st time I said no this not it and we spent over 50 dollars with onion, pickle and chips plus we left a big tip on takeout order. Well anywho I purchased yesterday 2meat ( ribs and hotlinks with beans and potatoe salad) on a 17.00 takeout order with no tip. That shit was nasty and I was to tired to drive all the way back to complaint to who. Pros: beans was ok Cons: p salad was nasty no seasoning. Ribs was old and no damn favor, hotlinks must been left in the water way to long no hotness just nasty. No onions. No pickle and no chips. Wtf is going on in there?x please let me in on the info because they are truly hurting for real cooks or the old heads must be telling them how to cook without seasoning and stop cutting their trees down for the wood. I used to help in the pit so there's must be a reason. I pull up at the poll and dump the whole plate after I taste this mess..

    Ribs, cole slaw, potato salad, beans

    Gone are the days when my momma could carry on an entire tailgating haul of John & Cook's BBQ when flying to Baltimore, so I just have to get it when I come "home." While on a recent visit, we indulged in baked beans, potato salad, cole slaw, ribs and brisket. We typically only get ribs, but this time we went for it. My momma found the brisket "a bit fatty," but I loved it. It was soft and tender, cooked all the way through, had crispy coated edges...yummers! The ribs were tasty as always and the sides were fantastic. I just wished there had been more. Of everything.

    Love local restaurants. We always try to visit one when we get a chance. We came for lunch. The place is small and NO FRILLS. I think they know their food is good. I'm glad we came here. I am not a big fan of BBQ. but the BBQ her is very good. I was a bit hesitant but I ended up LOVING THEIR FOOD. It tasted like home cook meal. I had a brisket and it did not disappoint. The staff were very nice, friendly, professional, and seems like happy to help. I highly recommend if you're in Lawton/Fort Sill.

    Now that is a piece of chicken! Can't remember if it is their special Just Friday or Friday and Saturday

    This has been a sentimental place driving through Lawton for work the past four decades. I usually get the sliced beef and original sauce with baked beans and potato salad. The beef is very tender but just a little smoke flavor more like a good roast. I love their sides but they are very sweet. Recently was able to stop by here on a weekend for the first time and have their smoked chicken dinner special and that is by far the best in my opinion

    Ribs baked beans coleslaw and pulled pork.

    Great food, awesome service, ambiance is awesome. Alonzo is the bomb, the hot links and brisket is to die for. Thanks Alanzo.

    We came here for lunch on our son's Family Day at Fort Sill. Boy did we make the right decision. First, the food was absolutely delicious and worth it. Second, the 4th generation owner Lonzo, made our meal particularly special and memorable by honoring our son with some wonderful words of gratitude for his service.

    Hot links and 3 rib tips for 22$

    Hey Gang! We went here on a friends word. This was Lawtons' best BBQ! Well, not so much. This fits most home town mom and pop BBQ spots. Small, family friendly, with nostalgic ambiance everywhere.. and they were busy to boot! Very nice group of guys working there. We order meats only because that's where people rate and score good BBQ. We ordered hot links, sausages, and tips. Tips are rib tips with some bones and lots of cartlidge. Now I feel like this meat was cooked many days ago and microwaved to warm it up, which drys it out. The hotlinks were a 2 out of 5, and the tips were a 1 out of 5. Hot sauce was tart and real vinegary. But it gave me some flavor for the flavorless hot links. Now, to top off the experience (see pic), was this worth $22?? That's a hard no! Come on, Lawton!! You have to have a better BBQ to offer. If you want to have an experience!! Smokin Joe's Davis oklahoma. Still setting the standard!

    We are from Los Angeles Ca and we're looking for good BBQ. The BBQ was good and the Ribs were amazing. If we are ever back in the area would definitely put this on our list of todos.

    This is some of the best 'que I've had in a long time. You could smell it was gonna be good when you walk in the door. Chatted with the owner a bit (I'm from KC - I can't help talk about BBQ with people) and he gave us a hot link to try. I know what I'm ordering next time - SOOOOO good!

    Brisket, ribs and tips
