Stutts BBQ in Tulsa hits you with that rare, disarming warmth where the food is great, sure, but the real hook is the feeling that you just wandered into someone's family kitchen and they decided to feed you until you stop talking. The chopped brisket carries that perfect Tulsa flavor. It's not trying to be Austin, it's not chasing trends, it's just deeply smoked, tender, and unapologetically saucy in a way that makes you rethink why you ever bothered with sliced brisket at all. The ribs come out with that gentle tug, not the fall apart nonsense, the kind of rib that tells you the pitmaster actually respects the craft. And the hot links bring the heat in that slow, creeping way that makes you nod to yourself like, yeah, this is the right kind of trouble. But the buttermilk pie is the closer. The secret handshake. The thing that makes you sit back in your chair and realize you're not in a restaurant, you're in a home that just happens to have a smoker out back. It's creamy, tangy, sweet, and somehow nostalgic even if you've never had it before. It's the dish that makes you text someone immediately. Stutts isn't polished. It isn't corporate. It's lived in. It's warm. It's the kind of place where the food tastes like someone actually cares about you. And that's the whole point. read more

True Tulsa BBQ from a legend and staple in the community! Stutts definitely lived up to its name. I got the 2-meat platter -- pork ribs and chopped brisket -- with potato salad and baked beans. The pork ribs were incredibly tender and flavorful, pairing perfectly with the spicy sauce. The chopped brisket was that classic, smoky goodness and absolutely hit the spot. The "tater" salad was solid and exactly what you'd expect, but the baked beans were the real star -- jammy, rich, and delicious. The service was exceptional, and I truly came in as a stranger and left as a friend. The restaurant was clean, comfortable, and well kept. read more

I read the reviews and was excited to try the food. First upon entering its a quaint small business. The staff was friendly and from my vantage point I could see Mrs Stutts, in the kitchen, she wasn't very friendly when I asked about the lunch specials or the menu. I proceeded to look thru menu and a customer or friend of the restaurant took my order. She was very friendly and patient. I ordered the buttermilk pie, 3 meat combo and brisket sandwich for $24. Rib Meat was tender, the brisket just a lot of fat, sauce is nothing special and those baked beans and coleslaw were not the taste I'd expect from a barbecue place. I've eaten all over the world and the 2 star is simply for a not above average meal and for a buttermilk pie that was the star of my whole experience. I don't think I will ever go back but try it for yourself. May your experience be better!!i read more

Stutts House of Barbeque - Chicken, beef, ribs, potato salad and beans - Barbeque Near Me - Tulsa, Oklahoma

Stutts House of BBQ is a North Tulsa black owned institution. The bbq today with delicious with St.Louis ribs, hot links and smoked chicken was very good. The baked beans were sweet and filling. The potato salad had just the right amount of mustard not to be a distraction. The Sunday Special included smoked chicken, cornbread dressing with gravy, green beans, croissant and blackberry cobbler for $12.99! My only complaint was that the smoked beef was diced so small I couldn't get a good bite of the texture. The place is small but Mrs Stutts and the patrons were all friendly. read more

Ribs: perfection! Also gluten free when served without the bread. Service is simple, you can order at the front got to-go orders or have a seat for table service. The food comes out pretty quickly. If you don't mind driving a little bit out of the way, and there is quite a bit of construction going on, you can have the best ribs that fall completely off the bone. The owner, Almead Stutts, will sometimes come out and talk to the customers. She is a real character! When I was there with the hubs, she was giving someone a hard time because he had lived here a long time and never heard of the place, she said, "did you know I was in the New York Times? Well it's right here on the wall!" She used to work for Wilson's barbecue, you know the " you need no teeth to eat our beef" guy. This place came up for sale and I guess people tried to dissuade her from running her own joint by saying it was hard and you would have to do this or that. She was not to be fazed by these naysayers and replied " Well, I'm already doing all that for Wilson." What ferocity, I wish I could be like that! I also took my cousin there and she loved it, she used to go to Reese's barbecue when she lived here on the 70s. She said it was just as good as Reese's and Almead accepted that as a compliment right away. Did I mention the ribs? The fat renders completely away and leaves you with a lightly smoked piece of meat candy that come clean off the bone! The place is homey and full of inspirational and family pictures. We will definitely go back! read more

The good: - Rip tips and beef! - The BBQ sauce (they have one sweet and one hot - which is a slow burn) - Baked beans were some of the best I've had in a while. - The service - Prices weren't too bad, especially for a BBQ place. The okay: - Coleslaw and potato salad. Not the best. Not the worst. The bad: - Chicken and ribs were dry. - The pickles and onions were bad. The onions tasted like they had been cut a while ago and was left in an open container in the fridge and had absorbed the taste of everything. Pickles were also weird tasting. - The pickles and onions count as a side. What the heck!! Other BBQ places give those as condiments. - They were out of buttermilk and sweet potato pie. read more

I ate at this place for the first time and my order was messed up. They ran out of potato salad when they only have three sides. I called my order in and I still had to wait a hour to receive my food. I ate here because it was 4 stars, but it's not. I will never eat here again. The food was not that good. I did not like the baked beans at all. There family pack meals only feeds to people when it comes to the sides. read more

This review is based off of a take out order for a large group, served family style - I can't comment on the atmosphere, the service, or the prices. But, the food, SO GOOD! Tried brisket, pulled pork, two styles of ribs, spicy sausage, bologna, potato salad, and baked beans. All was super delicious! If you are looking for BBQ in Tulsaz give this local place a try! read more

I normally don't brag about places to eat, but this one I went out of my way to tell people about.

Wasn't really sure what to expect with this place being a legendary place in Tulsa and seeing the low reviews in the last few months. I can tell you I went to this place today and it was really good bbq. A lot of sweet, but I should have asked for a hotter bbq sauce. Not being in N Tulsa very often its easy to forget or not be aware of some of the good bbq on that side of town. Overall 4.5 stars. It s easier to break it down like this. Brisket - 4 Ribs - 3 Sauce - 4 Potato salad - 4 Baked beans - 4 Buttermilk pie - 5 Bread - 1 Price - 5 Hospitality - 5 read more

They were Quite friendly and talkative to all of their customers. They greeted the new ones (like us) as if we were regular customers. First timers and regulars stopped in while we were eating. The meats were quite good. The baked beans were too. Ms Stutts and her employee were quite good at checking up on us at the table. The potato salad and Cole slaw were good but pretty much average. The little buttermilk pies were quite tasty. The building isn't the fanciest, but it's pretty neat and clean inside. She told us she has owned the restaurant for 29 years. If passing thru Tulsa again while traveling when I'm hungry, I'd stop there again or maybe I'd just stop and pickup food to go! read more

First time in the state of Oklahoma and as usual had to try something usual. Stumbled across Stutts House of BBQ run by the lovely Miss Stutts for about 22 years. This place is literally a small little house, barebones BBQ spot. I was greeted by Miss Stutts and one of her employees, Chiquita. After a few minutes, I settled on a 3- meat dinner combo (hot links, brisket, and ribs) and a buttermilk pie,which I kept hearing about. All this food was complimented by a homemade sweet tea, which they left me a carafe of on the table in addition toy glass. Hot links were excellent, brisket had great flavor, although I've had juicier, and even though I prefer ribs that barely stick to the bone, I loved the flavor these ribs produced. The plate comes with two sides and since I'm a carb whore, I opted for 2X potato salad, which was perfect. 1 slice of white bread sat atop each meat type. Finally...dessert. The buttermilk pie wasn't a full slice. It was its own mini-pie baked in a mini tin. It's about the size of my palm and it was chock full of deliciousness. My food came with top notch service and great conversation. The only thing I was sad about was that I was full after only spending 11 bucks or so. I will definitely return if I ever go through Tulsa again! read more

The lunch combos are quite a deal. Drink, 2 meats, 2 sides, and buttermilk pie, all for $8.95 WITH TAX! Ordered ribs & chicken. Not a fan of the quarter chicken piece; ribs were decently flavored; however I prefer the ribs cut at OK Joe's and others where more of the meat is atop the rib: they were more chewey than I'd like. Beans had a nice smokey flavor, as did both varieties of BBQ sauce. Coleslaw was average. But again, the pie, OH THE PIE! Did I mention that the price is half of Elmers ? read more

We ordered smoked Chicken to be picked up Wednesday afternoon for Thanksgiving dinner and when we arrived to pick up our order it was not done (or even started). Had to get chicken at Reasor's. Stutts people said they were really busy with pies and cakes. There are other good BBQ spots in Tulsa. read more

First: the lady in the back preparing the food had a nasty disrespectful unprofessional attitude. Maybe she was tired. But too bad. Don't show it. Be professional. Second: the baked beans which were really pork and beans were very cold when I got home. As if never cooked or warmed up before I left the building. Third: the beef was very fatty and not flavorful. Fourth: the bbq chicken was hard and dry. I asked for extra sweet sauce. Did not get it. The ribs were extra dry. My gosh. I will never go back. Most definitely won't refer anyone. Oh and they asked if I wanted to give a tip. I don't think no business should ever ask for a tip. If we think u r worthy of a tip it will be given. Don't ask. One thing positive is the lady taking the orders was very sweet and pleasant. The lady in the back was snippy with her the whole time. But she continued to be respectful and saying yes ma'am. Her tone of voice never changed. That was very good of her and professional. Ridiculous and shame on the lady in the back. Hope this review is actually read and taken into consideration. We need more black professional men and women. I ordered 1/2 lb chopped beef but received an order of chopped beef. Also order 1lbs of ribs but they stated they didn't have enough ribs to give us for a lb. She stated that they would give us Chicken and Bologna We received 2 dried up ribs. Chicken was very hard. They over charged us. Had the nerve to ask for a tip. Wow! read more

This is a bare knuckle old school BBQ place, and it's borderline soul food. I'm obligated to point out the service at Stutts, because it was perfect, and THAT is amazingly rare. The staff treated me like family, went over the top when I told them I was an "outta towner", and they even helped me switch my order around so I got more bang for my buck. Now for the food. I had the rib tips, coleslaw, baked beans, and a piece of the buttermilk pie (of course!). The rib tips were smokey, perfectly cooked, and were not overpowered with seasoning or sauce. The coleslaw was great, but it had a hint of pineapple which was a little different. The baked beans were smokey as well, and they had just the right amount of sweetness. Finally, I am getting to my favorite piece of this BBQ/Soul food masterpiece of a meal, the buttermilk pie. Wow, I could have eaten two of them. It's actually not a slice of pie, but it's a tiny little pie with its own little tin. Bottom line, if you are looking for a chain BBQ place with no soul, do not go to Stutts, but if you are looking for real BBQ and a huge helping of down home service and soul, get to Stutts ASAP! read more

This is real BBQ. I should just end the review there but hot damn! This food is so good I am really dying to go back to OK to eat here again. The meats are perfectly smoked, the sides are all delicious, the sweet tea is served in a carafe, and the buttermilk pie is INSANE! If you are in or near Tulsa and do not go here, you have committed a sin. read more

Truly a mom and pop joint. Friendly service. Ordered the ribs and brisket beans and cole slaw. Beans a little plain. Beef had good flavor but was chopped and a little fatty. Not a lot of bark. Ribs were done well. I prefer heavier smoke and more bark. 4 stars for the great service and wonderful atmosphere. Ms Stutts is great read more

Stutts House of Barbeque - Barbeque Near Me - Tulsa, Oklahoma

Amazing BBQ! My boyfriend and I stopped here on our way from St. Louis to Oklahoma City (the restaurant's location was very easily accessible from our route) and dined in. Upon entering, we were warmly greeted by Ms. Stutts herself and were made to feel right at home. The ambiance of the restaurant is homey and informal - I felt as though we dropped by for a quick meal at someone's house. We ordered the beef dinner and St. Louis rib dinner. Both came with 2 sides (I highly recommend the baked beans!), pickle, onion, and 2 white bread slices. The beef was extremely tender brisket, perfectly seasoned and prepared. The ribs were fall-off-the-bone meaty and delicious. Since the dining room is small, I wouldn't recommend coming with a large group. If I lived in Tulsa, I would probably get take-out from here all the time! read more

I am excited when we drive up to this true dive - as there is little debate over the fact that dives produce the best barbecue in the world. Walking inside I see more home style signals that I am in for something special, not the least of which are paper covered cafeteria trays as serving dishes and pies sitting in the kitchen window. Looking at the menu we are impressed still, seeing the unusual inclusion of bologna and rib tips. Bring them both. And some ribs. And sausage. And whatever the heck buttermilk pie is, bring that too! But then things took a turn for the worse. Ribs: tasty, smoky but tough as leather. Sausage: tasty, little kick, but dry. Rip tips: what am I supposed to do with the gristle that would otherwise be held nicely at the end of the bone? I could get the surrounding meat off a lot easier if you'd left it alone. On the better side of things, the sauce was unique. Potentially having to do with the season (we visited in November), the sauce had a hint of pumpkin pie. Not actual pumpkin, maybe some nutmeg or cinnamon. But definitely everyone at the table had the same reaction and we liked it. But the bologna - who would have guessed - was the star of the show. Smoked, thick-cut, and delicious with a dash of BBQ sauce. I might not go back to Stutts, but if I did, the bologna will be what brought me. read more

Some of the worst BBQ I've ever had. Stopped for lunch with a coworker, we both order a 2 meat combo. Brisket was terribly fatty and way over cooked. My friend sent his back and the replacement wasn't much better. I got hot links that were kinda dry. The sides we ok, nothing to write home about. I love the atmosphere and the fact it's not much more than a shack on the side of the road with BBQ. Doesn't do much for me if the food is subpar. All in all there is much better BBQ in Tulsa... read more

We ordered lunch from Stutts during a recent business trip to Tulsa based on a recommendation from a local. The place is tiny but with lots of character - Mrs. Stutts, the owner waited on us and even though it took awhile to get our order together (a combination of ribs, brisket and chicken sandwiches with a variety of sides) - and they forgot one of the sandwiches - the food was good and very reasonably priced. read more

Stutts House of Barbeque - Barbeque Near Me - Tulsa, Oklahoma

Found this place totally by accident of a wrong exit off 244 so got off on Apache and drove by. Told my husband we've gotta try it. So today we did! Moist smoky tender ribs, mildly flavored baked beans but since we like heat we added some of their homemade hot bbq sauce ( bought a pint for take home too) and really kicked the beans up a notch! Potato salad spot on being a bit on the mustardy side brought up good memories of Sunday picnics. Ice tea fresh brewed flavor. Their sweet sauce is delicious too. Definitely will be back to try other meats. They were loading the smoker with big beautiful briskets as we left and that'll be my next order! Highly recommend. Very nice people too. Small place but smelled so good. read more

Went in last night with some friends. We've lived in Tulsa 3 years and hadn't found a BBQ joint, that is until last night, we got the three meat platter for $8 and HOLY COW was it worth it! The meat was beyond juicy, ribs fell off the bone, the chicken had just the right amount of smoke. Almead, the owner, gave me a slice of friend Bologna that would make your daddy cry! Don't get me started on the buttermilk pie either! This will officially be worth the 20 minute drive again and again!! read more
