Now this is real BBQ!!! Met some friends there for dinner and this place will not disappoint! The brisket was juicy and tender and practically melts in your mouth! I've never tasted one this good! The turkey was so delicious! Juicy and flavorful, not dry at all. The fries were cooked perfectly crispy, just the way I like them. Tried bites of the fried okra and it was crispy and big pieces! Really nice sized serving! The sauces were very flavorful, but you really don't need them. I did dip my fries in it instead of catsup though. I really like place and will be eating here again next time I want BBQ! read more

We had heard great things about text Lahoma barbecue from another yelp elite, and decided to check it out ourselves on a Saturday afternoon recently. The restaurant did not disappoint-the food was absolutely phenomenal, portions were a Normanis, and the staff was extremely knowledgeable and kind. Because I eat gluten free, I always am just a little bit nervous trying out a new restaurant. Their team members knew exactly which items were safe and were very in the know about what I could eat on their menu. The good news was there was plenty to enjoy including their main barbecue dishes, as well as almost all of the sides, and even their barbecue sauces. The interior of the restaurant is decorated with many fun signs related to barbecue and painted nicely. Seating is available at traditional tables of various sizes, as well as tall counter style seating on a unique wooden bar by the door. There is no liquor license, so your drink offerings are the traditional iced tea, sodas, and water. We came in the later day on a Saturday, about an hour plus from closing time. There were a handful of their food items that were already sold out for the day. To me, this is the sign of a successful restaurant! In other words their items are so well-known and delicious they sell out if you don't get there in time. We had a loaded baked potato with brisket, a brisket sandwich, And a smoked turkey sandwich,. My boys both had macaroni and cheese as their side and they said it was good. We are looking forward to going back again soon! It is a little bit out-of-the-way way up in Waterloo, basically North Edmond in the country, but it is well worth the drive for a delicious barbecue meal. read more

This place is legit. I can say that cause I am picky about BBQ and good sides. They are killing it on the whole order. I loved the burnt ends, sausage , mac, okra, and potato salad. They told me to order the pulled pork but it was meh. I am soo glad to have finally found the real deal in Oklahoma. The name is cute too. Wish I knew more of their story. read more

If I go again it won't be at 3PM. It's hard to judge based on our 3PM visit, but I'm not sure if it would have been different. One of the weirdest things was that the fries we ordered weren't fresh. I don't know if they were just left over from the lunch rush or what, but we definitely saw the guy just re-fry them. There was no water available besides purchasing bottled water, so that was kind of a downer. The brisket was not quite as good as I had hoped. It was actually a bit dry, and it didn't look like the pictures that I have seen on here. The ribs were delicious, but very small. read more

Stopped by here with a large group on a Tuesday evening and were able to be seated immediately. Although the restaurant isn't very big, I never felt cramped in the space with our group. You order at the counter and pick it up when your name is called. The turnaround time on my order was about 10 minutes, which I thought was excellent considering the size of our group. I decided to have the single meat plate and ordered chopped brisket with fried okra and potato salad. Hands down, the brisket is some of the best I have ever eaten. It was juicy and flavorful with just the right amount of fat throughout. However, I was not a fan of the house BBQ sauce and opted to just eat the brisket by itself. Equally good were my two sides. Granted, it's not hard to fry okra, but what I liked is that they seemed to have bigger pieces of okra. (Can't go wrong with more okra!) The potato salad was also very good...one of the better potato salads I've had in a long, long time. My wife's BBQ beans ended up being my favorite side and I'd recommend that everybody get them if they are on their first visit. They are unlike any beans I've ever had before. I did find their ribs to be rather disappointing, however. There just wasn't much to them. While they did separate from the bone nicely, they were dry and there just wasn't much flavor. I don't know if I was supposed to rely on the BBQ sauce to bolster the ribs, but since I didn't like the BBQ sauce to begin with, I was really hoping the rib could stand on its own. With all that being said, Texlahoma BBQ puts a unique spin on BBQ and is worthy of a visit for anyone that enjoys BBQ. read more

The go to BBQ on the north side of Edmond. My wife normally gets the fatty brisket with lots of bark and I'm a pulled pork and sausage fan just to have different things. Granted we buy plenty of extra and stretch it into a weekend of BBQ and movies. They also have burnt ends which just puts the rating at a 6 star review. I don't need to mention the Okra which is mandatory in Okra-Homa. They poke holes in the to go container so you don't have mush when you get home which is usually empty before you get there anyway. Just go. We see a lot of folks eating their sandwiches which I'm sure are to die for. The staff is top shelf and will take care of you. I know that if you ever had an issue they'd make it right. They are great people and a great vibe. That starts at the top. The value for what you get from the BBQ Gods is beyond reasonable. It's called BBQ and they have that Smokey Meat Goodness. read more

The food was delicious but they were out of lots of stuff so be sure to get there somewhat early, I'm sure it's related to the holiday as well.

Seriously the best brisket I've ever had. I eat a lot of bbq, but this definitely tops any I have had. Great bark, great moisture, great flavor I drive from North Texas to southern Kansas every year and this is absolutely worth the short detour of of 35. Heck, this BBQ might be the only reason I still visit my in-laws. I ordered the DH sandwich and you should too, large portions. Texlahoma will be forever be a Tradition when I find myself this far up 35. read more

The brisket is fall apart tender and the burnt ends are outta this world (be sure to ask for some....they aren't on the menu)! The potato salad is delicious (and I'm super picky about potato salad). The okra is the best I've had in a restaurant. If you can manage to snag a beef rib on a Saturday before they sell out....you will be utterly impressed! The sauce is the perfect consistency to stick to the meat! Do yourselves a favor a try this hidden gem! read more

Texlahoma BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Edmond, Oklahoma

Our Friday night spot for a couple years now. Brisket is always on point. Ribs, sausage, sauce...all great. Best in the area!

We have so many great choices for BBQ in Oklahoma but our go to almost every time is Texlahoma. They consistently serve mouth watering bbq with side items that shouldn't be discounted. P.s. Order the fries, top them with their baked beans and add a little of the hot and sweet BBQ sauce. If you're disappointed with that creation, you should have a long hard talk with your taste buds because they failed you! Happy eating! read more

Excellent barbecue, especially the ribs and pulled pork. Loved the okra. Great customer service.

Best BBQ I've had! You can't go wrong with anything in their menu. My favorite is their turkey.

We were on our informal, cross-country quest for the best BBQ on the trip. Today it was Oklahoma BBQ. I spent some time reviewing an article written by an Oklahoman who gathered up five of his friends and did a thorough review of about 20 BBQ joints. The three best weren't in Oklahoma City, but in the nearby outskirts. The article's first choice, The Butcher BBQ Stand, was closed, DW wanted to try Leo's, and I wanted to try the Texlahoma. We got lucky and chose Texlahoma because it was closer than Leo's and it was getting late. Texlahoma isn't the shack we were expecting, and happily, not a Kansas City, Missouri, corporate-designed Jack Stack BBQ restaurant. It was a small restaurant in an unassuming strip mall (hello Inglewood, California) with about six counter seats along the window, a couple of picnic tables at one end and lots of regular tables on the other side. It was almost 1:30 when we walked up to the window. We pleaded BBQ ignorance. The counter guy, he manager said they're known, in this order, for brisket, ribs, pulled pork, and hot links. Judy knew what she wanted - brisket and beans and Cole slaw; rather than try to figure out the menu, I just told him that I also wanted to try the brisket and ribs, and two sides, fried Okra and cole slaw. I asked about burnt ends and he had a few that he piled on the tray, a lagniappe we'd never get at other BBQ places. The brisket was the best we ever had: cut fresh (not pre-sliced, which dries it out) and thick cut, with a strip of fat across the top of each slice. Some people like the fat; we didn't and stripped it off. In retrospect, we should have put the fat into our to-go box, and there was plenty to go, as it would've been terrific when we chopped up our leftover brisket. Compared to other BBQed brisket we tried, this tasted like brisket, moist and juicy, not the least bit salty, and with lots of smokiness. The baby-back pork ribs were short and squat, and moist and meaty, and I could smell the smoke on them. The crusted on crust had a rich taste, I couldn't be sure what, but thankfully, it wasn't sweet; it just tasted like good BBQ. There was lots of okra, hot and crunchy, not too breaded, and too much to finish. Cole slaw was as it should be - crisp and acidic, with just a hint of sugar. I'm not a fan of BBQed beans - mostly it's Heinz or Bushes. These were better, with a umami savory richness, not sweet, with some other herbs I couldn't identify, maybe oregano. The portions were big and we had enough to take with us in our camper van for dinner on another night. While we were eating, the counter guy spent time doling out the Texlahoma's trade secrets. (We found out he's no slouch - he's a BBQ judge.) We got a lesson about brisket, how it's smoked (which side's up), butcher paper vs. tin foil, temperature and wood, and most valuable: brisket smoking ain't easy and he ruined plenty while figuring out how to do it right. We also got a tour of the smoke pit, a tin shack with two large, thick, former propane tanks, both hotter than hell, and smelling of smoke. Outside was a big stack of split oak and hickory. It was bliss. When we went back inside, we met with the owner and his wife, two enthusiastic people and we talked about BBQ. So far, the best BBQ on the trip. read more

I'm 61 years old and have had bbq sandwiches all across the US. I'm guessing that I've been to several hundred bbq joints in my lifetime. The chopped bbq sandwich at Texlahoma is the single best chopped bbq sandwich I've ever had. Period. My eyes rolled back in my head when I took my first bite. I put a little of their mild bbq sauce on each bite which just added to this heavenly bbq delicacy. The bun they use is nicely toasted, which adds the perfect flavor and texture. We've already decided that we'll be using Texlahoma for large family and business gatherings as well. When I went into the restaurant I saw a sign that said "World Famous" bbq and sort of chuckled to myself, cuz you see these type of signs everywhere. This is the first time I agree with the sign. Thanks Texlahoma! read more

Have to assume they don't like whites. We wanted to ty Texlahoma BBQ instead of Subway next door, on our first and only visit we asked the young black lady behind the counter what their meals consisted of, the young lady did not answer but did look straight in the eyes and turned up her nose and walked off. So we left and went to Subway where whites can get a meal. read more

Great BBQ and excellent service! I highly recommend stopping by if you are in the area. The brisket was smoked to perfection and the bark on the brisket was very good. Also try the okra and spicy bbq sauce. read more

Great BBQ that never disappoints!! It's always very tender, very palatable and prepared and served by friendly proprietors!!

Went there because of others recommending the food. I ordered chopped brisket, pulled pork, cold slaw and fried okra for takeout. Got my order drove home (about 5 minutes). upon opening the tray the meat was cold, the slaw, I would not feed to my dog. the okra was good, the meat was bland. That night about about 3 am it all came up, It made me sick, at 6 am I got diarrhea. Thanks Texlahoma, I will not be back read more

Best barbecue in Oklahoma in my opinion, but as of late it is going down hill. Not sure why but I think it's because of the staff being very young and they rarely have the right cuts of meat to make the DH, which is my go to there. Ribs, brisket, jalapeño sausage are all my favorite. As for sides, The Okra is my favorite, but have tried practically all of the others and they are all delicious. read more

Some of the best BBQ in OKC. Got brisket and sausage with potato salad. They were out of a couple sides, but the ones I got were very good. Brisket was moist, and had very good smoke/bark. The sausage was a little crumbly but tasted goo. The only critique I might give is the sauce was runny and thin, but I still ate it all. read more

Oklahoma has several good BBQ places but I don't know of another where you can get real Texas style beef ribs. You can only get them here on Saturday, and if you get them before they run out, but they are fantastic. I make a lot of BBQ myself but I can't come close to their brisket. Like another review on here (Rich R.), I had been to this place when it was run by different owners and was not impressed. What is there now is a totally different deal. This has quickly become my favorite BBQ place by far. I have not ordered a burger but they do look fantastic. If you love real BBQ, give this place a try. read more

Best bbq in town! I swear they have the best fried okra! I usually always get the special that comes with two sides and a drink. Food is priced fairly, excellent service. Go try them out! read more

The best BBQ around. Never disappointed. The brisket is especially good. It's juicy and tender but not overcooked. Yum

YES!! You definitely need to STOP! We were driving back to Texas from a quick trip to Stillwater and decided to try a Yelp recommended BBQ place. It did NOT disappoint! I had The Butler...a stuffed baked potato with chopped brisket, pulled pork, and turkey on top...with a rib as a side. ALL of it was DELICIOUS! I preferred the mild BBQ sauce to the spicy (and I normally like spicy better). I couldn't eat all of it but I tried really hard!! My husband and son both had the chopped brisket sandwich and were mmmmm-ing and yummm-ing the entire time. My husband had the fried okra as a side and my son had the mac and cheese as a side...they both bragged on their choices. read more

BBQ is delicious! Pulled pork amazing. Burnt ends on the weekend. Great choice of fixins. So good!

First time coming to this joint. Made the long drive from Yukon. Reason for the 2 stars. A. The service was pretty terrible. I asked where the bathroom was, got pointed in the wrong direction. I understand the concept of self service, but they should've told us where the drinks, silverware, & BBQ sauce were. Maybe have staff tell customers after they order?? I had to ask about 3 times where different things are. B. I ordered ribs with beans & fries. (Sadly there wasn't Mac & Cheese on the menu. Would recommend that) the ribs were good. Wish they were bigger or more for the price compared to other places... the beans tasted way different than normal ones. Hard to describe the taste. They were terrible. I think this is what made me very sick around 0300 after eating here... bc that's all I could taste during the sickness. Hopefully the place does well, but I won't be making the 35 minute drive again to eat here. read more

I reviewed before and was not too happy. Since then this has become one of our favorite bbq places. The food is always good. Meat is always tender with great flavor. My 6 year old asks every week for ribs. read more

Customer service was great and food was for the most part. Had the brisket, sausage, ribs, pulled pork and baked potato. All were good except the ribs. Ribs were extremely small with very little meat and very dry. read more

Brisket was moist and juicy with a nice smoke ring. Ribs were cooked perfectly to the point of almost fall off the bone with just the right amount of bite. Jalapeño cheddar sausage was a show stopper! Sides were excellent too. Friendly staff to boot! I will definitely be back real soon. This place could turn into one of those special bbq places with and hours long line! read more
