Oakhart Barbecue — Restaurant in Tulsa

★★★★★ Hands Down the Best BBQ in Tulsa!

The search for truly top-tier barbecue in Tulsa is officially over. Oakhart Barbecue is an absolute gem and a new must-visit for us. From the moment we walked in, we were impressed by the clean, rustic atmosphere.

Let's talk about the food, because it is phenomenal. The brisket was everything you could hope for: juicy, rich, and bursting with incredible flavor. The ribs were the star of the show for me—perfectly tender with a satisfying bite, not that mushy fall-off-the-bone stuff. They had just the right amount of smoke and seasoning, with a subtle hint of sweetness that was absolutely delicious.

We tried the cheese grits and beans for our sides this time, and both were fantastic. We've already got our eyes on the mac-n-cheese for our next visit, which looked equally amazing!

A huge thank you to the cashier who asked if we wanted to try the banana pudding. Do NOT skip this! It was the perfect, creamy finale to an outstanding meal.

We will most definitely be back for more of everything. This is a 5-star experience all the way.

02/11/2025 Here’s my return trip to Oakhart BBQ, my ratings will stay the same. We arrived @ 1155 and they were already sold out of some of the food I wanted for lunch, no brisket, no cole slaw, I had to make a different selection. I chose the Pulled Pork, Beans & Potato Salad. Beans were still the same, added BBQ sauce to try and improve also added Pulled Pork - mediocre. Potato Salad was meh! The Cole Slaw must be the big hit since it was sold out.

Still had great service! The place was packed so my group of 3 got to share the table with another group of 3.

Overall it was a good lunch.

First time here and it was fine. Service was quick and a speedy checkout. To be honest not impressed with the potato salad, very bland. Luckily they were onions on my tray that I diced up and added along with pepper. It was salvageable! Beans were so so, I added BBQ sauce for additional flavor.

The brisket was the highlight for me it was delicious! The ribs just medium!

The inside tables were cleaned and had the good BBQ atmosphere. I don't make it to Tulsa as I would normally like but would have to give it a second go round as...

A newish BBQ joint in Tulsa, Oakhart Barbecue serves up Central Texas-style Q in a State with little BBQ self-identity. Having ordered a two meat plate of pork ribs and sliced brisket, I dug right into the brisket hoping for a smokey meat heaven. Unfortunately, the poor beef had been overly salted, was drier than a popcorn fart, but to its credit had very good bark. I typically like to be surprised when I'm not asked if I wanted lean or fatty. The expert meat craver behind the counter probably took one look at me and figured I needed the lean. After feeding the rest of the brisket to my dogs, I took a look at the ribs staring right back at me, and I hesitantly went in for the chew. Ba-zinga! Talk about a flavor punch to the mouth! These were the MOST delicious abdominal meat sticks I have had this side of the Red River. They had a wonderful bark, were an absolute delight to chew, the seasoning was spot on and the sauce not overbearing. I would consider these Oakhart's show stopper. The sides were uninspired and truthfully a little bland. But, I will definitely be back...
