King's Custom Smoked Meats Restaurant — Restaurant in Oklahoma City

First of all the service is outstanding. I wish I’d left a bigger tip! The register person talked to me about the neighborhood I’m new to and we talked supermercados and sausage.

The Environment: totally fine. They had some soccer on TV and by BBQ standards it was nice dining room. The kitchen is partially open and you can see the cooks and service constantly cleaning their equipment and wiping tables. They have a high powered air curtain that clicks on with the door that helps keep the flies out…they love que almost as much as I do.

The food: This is solid que. I have to give it extra points because in the modern world of pellet fed electric smoker cabinets. This is genuinely well cooked meats. I went traditional. I skipped pulled pork because I’m picky. Ribs: solid, good rub, enough flavor to go sauce less. They were slightly overcooked but not so bad I didn’t have to use my teeth to eat them. Falling off the bone is a sin! Brisket: man this was good brisket guys. Nice bark, I got the fatty end which I love, fat cap trimmed perfectly. Burnt ends, this is where my constructive criticism starts. It was just a brisket tip. No seasoning or twice cooking in the fatty spicy sauce to caramelize them. Just, a brisket tip. So, order them if you want. But it tastes identical w to the brisket, which by nature was jucier and more tender.

The sides: Sorry guys. The baked beans I had were so sweet I couldn’t take a second bite. Couldn’t taste smoke or anything other than tomato sauce cumin and sugar. That’s just my palate. I know some people sugar brown sugar beans and maple syrup beans and all the like. I prefer the savory style cooked with chopped brisket and trimmings. Mac & Cheese: again not my palate. It was runny, like really runny. They don’t bake it. Cheese flavor was processed and didn’t have that homestyle look or taste at all. On the flip side I did mop up all the extra cheese sauce with my toast. I would have like the option for some onions and pickles. The sauce: tasted suspiciously like sweet baby rays. The spicy sauce; spicy sweet baby ray’s too too too sweet for me guys. Next time I’m going to be the weirdo who pulls a flask of Carolina red out of his pocket at the table.

Bottom line: this is solid que. I didn’t like my sides today but the fries on my neighbors table looked good and there some veg. I’m puzzled about the burnt ends but that’s okay. The brisket was really genuinely good and these guys have great prices. I saw this kid eating a $4 chopped brisket taco and it. was. huge. I’ll be back for more brisket delights for sure. The sandwiches looked good and I want to see about their pulled pork.

My recommendation? Go check it out, there’s hardly any good bbq in this town since a certain ex college football player and redneck the Dixie chicks murdered convinced this whole metro that their food is somehow good or genuine or worth the...

🔥 Kings BBQ – Oklahoma City’s Hidden Smoked Treasure 🔥

I dropped by Kings BBQ in OKC and ordered the 3-meat plate for just $20 — and let me tell you, it’s an absolute barbecue masterpiece.

🥩 The Meats: • Burnt Ends – These were the crown jewel: rich, tender, smoky, and glazed just right. Each bite melted like beefy butter with a bark that packed deep flavor and just the right amount of char. • Ribs – Classic dry rub style, perfectly seasoned and smoked to perfection. They had a satisfying pull from the bone — not mushy, not tough — just that ideal bite. The crust had a smoky-sweet-peppery kick that lingered just enough. • Sliced Brisket – Juicy, with a thick smoke ring and that beautiful, peppery bark. Whether dipped in sauce or eaten straight, the brisket held its own — tender with rich, rendered fat and unmistakable smoke flavor.

⸻

🍽️ The Sides & Extras: • Coleslaw – Crisp and creamy, with just the right amount of tang. I added a generous crack of black pepper on top, which really lit it up and brought the whole bite into perfect balance. • Fried Okra – Hot, crunchy, and golden brown. The batter was well-seasoned, not greasy, and each piece was bite-sized perfection. • Texas Toast – Thick, buttery, and toasted just enough to have a little crunch on the outside and softness on the inside — ideal for mopping up leftover brisket juice and sauce.

🎲 The Vibe:

I brought my own cribbage board to the table — and it just made the whole experience even better. Great food, great place to relax. Kings BBQ serves you right and lets you settle in.

⸻

💥 Verdict: 10/10. This is how BBQ is supposed to be. Big portions, fair price, and flavors that don’t hold back. If you’re anywhere near Oklahoma City, Kings BBQ isn’t just worth a visit — it’s a damn...

I'm salivating so much before I walk through the door that I'm nearing dehydration. We come here for the FOOD. Don't care about parking, (the have it), how many tables, (they have them) or if they have televisions, (they have big ones). This is an opportunity for my wife and I to have date-night as a "carnic", I'll explain later. We come here about once every other month.

We started with the loaded baked potatoe which is huge. I like mine with chopped brisket, beans, chives, shredded cheese, sour cream and butter, (I'll add the salt & pepper) and my wife's is minus the beans and sour cream, (she'll add the salt). All the add-ons are nicely proportioned for every bite. The potato is always cooked perfect and loaded with butter. I mean loaded with butter. In fact, this is usually two meals for both of us, especially if we add a desert. We pick up our order and drive to the park 1/2 mile north and sit in the car for a car-picnic, or "carnic". One night I had something come up and wasn't able to eat it until the next day..and oh boy, all these flavors melding together makes for a whole new experience the next day. I've had everything on their menu, not everything is the best I've ever had but good enough for us to rate this our favorite BBQ in OKC. The service is always friendly and professional. We can't guarantee you'll like it, but what's most important is, we know we will love it.

P.S. I can't believe I forgot to tell you about the best fried okra in the universe. OMG the seasoning...you'll just have to try...
