However, it takes more than that to make a good spread of barbecue and this place just doesn't compare to good Oklahoma barbecue. We ordered a loaded, baked potato with beef., short ribs, baked beans .. The price is very reasonable and fair. The food did not taste like there was any smoke pit involved. The meat was dry, baked beans were runny flavors just weren't there. It is a cute little place with an eclectic decor. I want to say again the staff was wonderful, but I wasn't there to hang out with staff. I was there to get great barbecue. Ugg

Tray had sausage, ribs, smoked bologna, and some sides. Absolutely loved the ribs and sausage, great smoke flavor. Sausage had great snap and a solid smoke ring. The ribs I had were insanely delicious had amazing bark... and yes they were juicy and tender (tendernism on deck). Would love to try the sides at the top of his service hours instead of the end of day. But my overall eating experience was great!!! This crew is goin places in Oklahoma. I will be on the look for these guys. I eat bbq all over the midwest: KC, TX, OK, MO, AR. Great service and great food. Cannot wait to to try their brisket and burnt ends next time I make the trip from OKC to Tulsa. Nicky's keep the smoker burnin my friend.

Ribs had a nice bark, not overcooked. Brisket also had a nice bark, great smoke flavor. Beans were perfect, mac and cheese could use a little salt but that's an easy fix you make on your own. My only disappointment was I got there too late to try the burnt ends! If I'm ever back in Tulsa, this will be one of my first stops. Sn: I decided to try this place out solely due to the owner being under a Reddit post highlighting other local bbq restaurants even tho, they had recently just opened up!

All were absolutely delicious.

Burn Co. Barbeque is, without question, one of the best BBQ restaurants I have ever visited!…read more This place has officially become my new favorite BBQ restaurant, & I will absolutely be coming back over & over again. ‼‼ We ordered what felt like nearly the entire menu, & every single meat was exceptional. The ribs were the star of the show, perfectly smoked, incredibly tender, juicy & packed with unbelievable flavor. They literally melted off the bone. The brisket was buttery tender with an incredible smoke ring. The pulled pork was moist & flavorful without needing extra sauce. The smoked chicken was unbelievably juicy, the house made sausages were outstanding, the smoked bologna was surprisingly delicious, & even the smoked ham completely exceeded my expectations. Every single bite showed the amount of care & time that goes into preparing these meats. The baked beans were rich & flavorful, the coleslaw was fresh it didn't feel overwhelmed with seasonings which is very crispy and just delicious vegetables & every side complemented the BBQ perfectly. I honestly kept eating because I simply couldn't stop tasting everything. Every meat had its own unique flavor, & I kept saying, "Just one more bite." What made this experience even more unforgettable was the owner. I have visited countless restaurants over the years, but I have never met a restaurant owner who showed this level of genuine kindness, hospitality, humility & appreciation toward his guests. You can immediately tell this isn't just a business, it's a passion built with love, hard work & pride. The atmosphere is warm, relaxed & authentic. You feel welcomed from the moment you walk through the door, & the rustic smokehouse décor only adds to the experience. If you love real BBQ, this place belongs on your bucket list. Come hungry because the portions are generous, the quality is exceptional & every dollar is worth it. We truly recommend this place 100% I come from a place that's famous for its award winning BBQ & ribs, so my expectations were already very high. But Burn Co. Barbeque completely exceeded them. Every bite raised the bar even higher. Sorry, Nevada... you'll have to settle for 2nd place on my BBQ list.

Burn Co does an excellent job with their customer service and creating a client-focused experience. While we waited in a long line (everyone wants some of this BBQ), a lady came by with napkins and a tray of their ribs and asked us all if we wanted a rib while we waited. That first taste in line made my appetite spring through the roof because I knew I was getting more. Then at the register I was talking to the lady about everything I wanted to try and their various combos and she worked with me to get me exactly what I wanted. I got the BBQ Tour with no bun, and it came with chopped brisket, two baby back ribs, and a chicken drumstick. Then she added a side of pulled pork and I ordered the Mac and cheese. It was a bunch of food and everything was delicious! Their house BBQ sauce was good too--not too sweet and just the right flavor to complement the meats. It brought me right back to my college days and I enjoyed every bite before waddling out of there fat and happy! 5/5

So, after reading the reviews on Yelp, we drove over to Leon's. Immediately upon entering, we were greeted by Frank, who was very polite and well-spoken. The menu was simple, which is good for BBQ. Besides, if i wanted complex, I'd go to some chain. The food was a solid 10, no sauce needed since it wasn't dry and full of smoked flavor. I mean, a little sauce is okay, but some folks overload it to the point where you can't taste the meat. The restaurant was nice and clean for the age of the diner, and Frank kept our drinks full, a class act, too. I wouldn't hesitate to return. A+

Fellow friends, you better get on it before people taste this bit of heaven or they will start running out of bbq to share. We got the chubby cheeks taco, a beef rib and heritage pork rib. Everything was just love. I can't explain it well enough but when you try, you'll know what I'm taking about. My absolute favorite was the Beef rib. The beef rib was melt in the mouth, succulent and perfectly seasoned. My bbq soul is complete. Their bbq sauce they have is fantastic and their other sauces are killer too! The service was fantastic. They were extremely nice and helpful. It's a food truck so I'm sure they move around but this time they were located behind American Solera. I can confidently say they are the bbq masters of Tulsa. I can't believe Tulsa would have such amazing BBQ but these folks do it right. Overall, it's the best BBQ I've ever put in my mouth! They know exactly what they are doing with their meats. I'll be back in the future.

The baked potato's are a staple in town and they are the spot you must visit when you come to Tulsa. I usually get a hotline potato but today I'm trying the Shrimp Potato as I'm fasting from other proteins for a few weeks. It was exquisite and would highly recommend it for anyone who loves seafood. The wings and fries are always a hit too but you can never go wrong with a potato. The service is always fast and efficient and sometimes a wait if it's crazy busy but a great spot is going to be busy. The vibe is welcoming and chill when there is live music and on Thursdays they have what is called 'Rubicon Live' for the music lovers. If you have never been you should definitely visit.

The food was okay. I ended up trying the brisket and sausage. The brisket was okay, but not memorable. The cornbread was great and to be honest the potato salad may have been my favorite part of the meal. I made sure to try all the sauces that they had. Although they are labeled different flavors, they all taste very similar or have the same base.
