    Brisket, sausage, Cole slaw and fried okra

    Food was excellent and the portions are huge. You will not leave there hungry Get there early as they get extremely busy and you might have to wait for a place to sit

    Ribs,chicken& sausage

    Delicious!! You will get plenty of food and probably have leftovers. Everything had great flavor and well seasoned. Come in right at opening or expect somewhat of a wait. Peach cobbler was fabulous as well:)

    I finally got to try this place. My dad and mom have talked about it forever and finally my dad took me on our way back home from a trip we took. It was very good brisket a little over sauced, but definitely did not skimp on portions. The place was very fun and decorated nicely. Definitely on theme with that country smokehouse. The pickle and onion bar with unlimited pickles and onions was the best thing and I had way too many pickles. I really enjoyed their barbecue sauce and I would love to try other items but my brisket and my dad's brisket were great.

    The brisket absent of any bark. Somebody needs to learn how to slice a brisket.

    Average BBQ. I know this place gets a lot of good reviews, I wanted it to be great. If you think Smokin Joe's is great BBQ, then I'm sorry you have never had great BBQ. Maybe I am biased, I judge everything based off the best BBQ places in Texas, Franklin's, Terry Blacks, Goldies, Snow's, etc... in addition to what I put out on my own offset smokers. Ordered the two meat plate, sliced brisket, pork ribs, coleslaw, okra, texas toast. Asked for point meat on the brisket. Brisket was pretty pathetic, I didn't even want to eat it all. Absent of any smoke flavor. Pretty dry and the pull test was harder than it should have been. Bark, where is the bark? Most of the slices had 0 bark, just look at the pictures. So much flavor comes from the bark, every slice no matter from the point or the flat should have bark. What little bark there was, was tough. $2 up-charge for brisket is a little disappointing, just put it on the menu that way, unless you see it posted on the cash register you have no idea. Ribs were average. The bite was decent, little tougher than I like. Decent flavor, not bad, not good. Again pretty much no smoke flavor. Better than the brisket, but that is not saying much. Coleslaw was good, nice and creamy. Coleslaw like you would get anywhere that has decent coleslaw. Okra was good, fried well, crispy, normal breading, can't expect much more from fried okra. Texas toast, honestly the best thing I ate. Toasted perfectly, little bit of crunch, buttery, perfect! Portions of the meat were great. You get a lot of meat. I ate another BBQ restaurant the day before, got the same two meat meal, same meat brisket and ribs and portions were half what you get at Smokin Joe's, but their meal was $5 cheaper. I would give Smokin Joe's is a 2 out of 5. The absence of bark and smoke flavor on brisket is inexcusable for a BBQ restaurant, but it is typical of Oklahoma BBQ. If I had to guess the meats are reheated using an Alto-Shaam. It is hard to do what those places in Austin do, run a 24/7 operation cooking meats, but that is why they are the best.

    The food was amazing! We had ribs, brisket and pulled pork. These were hands down the biggest portions we have ever received at a BBQ restaurant. The service was decent. The restaurant has seating for small parties all the way up to large groups. The only negative in our opinion is there are ceiling fans over every single table and they were all on high. We couldn't get away from the wind of them. We will definitely be back next time we are passing close by!

    I love this place, I was in a nearby town for work and first of all love the name and it had great reviews. We were coming about an hour near closing and luckily they didn't run out of anything. I got the ribs, fries and coleslaw. I'm picky about my coleslaw and this one was amazing and exactly how I liked it. Loved the shoe string fries I had to push them away to stop eating them THE RIBS, tender juicy Smokey and they have a great portion I definitely came home with leftovers. I love their bbq sauces one sweet and one is spicy pro tip: mix them together it's the perfect combination.

You're a bit at the mercy of whoever is there. A lot of people were there for the day backed up to a covered spot and blaring music. There was a depressing amount of trash around. The castles are neat and after doing some web searching we found some history about them (not offered by the park itself which is odd). Some areas feel pretty unsafe. The store just sells towels, $2 water shoes for $20 and life vests. No swimming allowed today (it's still winter and because of flooding) but a lot of people were in various areas of the river. The bathrooms were spread around the upper areas and I think mostly for campers and cabin folks. No one is policing anything though. The ports potties were rank.

    I just realized I forgot to add the prices so I was lazy and copied this.

    A cool place a little off the beaten path. We were on our way back to Texas and were looking for…read moresomething different for lunch when we saw Bully's on Yelp. After looking over the menu we decided to give it a try. It's a neat place with a cool vibe and great music in the background. It's more or less biker themed, but we saw more families than bikers during our lunch visit. We opted for a couple of burgers and fries. Both were excellent! The fries especially... We forgot to try their fried peaches, which we were drawn to on the menu when we were looking up Bully's, but I guess that means we need to stop back sometime. Service was very friendly and they took good care of us. If you are looking for a little something different, give them a try.

    So we were down in sulpher ok looking for a place to eat and we had the pup with us so I googled…read moredog friendly restaurants and tho one came up. I followed the directions an it was taking u out of town on a country road and im thinking what the heck. Then as my phone said destination ahead there poppe up the building. It has a nice lot with a covered patio (dog authorized area) and what looks like some outdoor are for maybe music or events. It has a motorcycle type motif and sign tht sys bikers are welcome. We sat on the patio and were met by the hostess. She gave us our menus and said our server, Kylie, would be right out. She took our drink orders(in Togo cups) and then our food. We both ordered the metric burger with fries. 1/2 burger with the works. My wife skipped the onion. They both came with fries and were out in less than 10 minutes. Everything was cooked and seasoned well. Only downfall is we were outside and the flies are crazy. My only complaint would be once she served us she never came back to check. The hostess did once but the was to clear our stuff. I had to go inside to get my tab and pay. Prices were good.
