Me and my wife drove by that area earlier this summer on the way back from OKC. We had pulled off the road to get some gas or something and didn't know anything about the place. Lemme tell you, it's not
like any other BBQ joint I've seen. It was all in an outdoorsy atmosphere and there were people lined up like Saturday at the Wanny show. It was crazy! We didn't even stop, there were too many people. I was convinced that we do need to back someday though; for their to be that many people waiting, they must be pretty awesome.

Yeah, and to win the Big Daddy of all BBQ Contests is pretty awesome too. Finally, something good we can be proud of as Okies. I’m tired of reading about how Oklahoma is 47th this and 48th that but 1st in this and has the most _________ (insert negative category here) in that, and all that bad stuff you hear about the State of Oklahoma. So we got a few cops who rape women, a few Legislators who do it with little boys in seedy hotel rooms, the occasional slime-belly mayor here and the crooked politician there...we also got a pretty good football team or two and we got the Best BBQ in the world. According to the contest these BBQ guys just won anyway.

Meh. It's just okay to me. I heard about them a year or so ago and got a slab of ribs. The sauce is very sweet and they glaze their ribs with the sauce.

I have yet to find any bbq in the state that is as good as Robb's Smokehouse here in Shawnee. I have had a couple of occasions when the ribs were not as good as normal but overall it is usually very good and he has the best sauce I've tried other than a secret homemade recipe that an old timer I know has.

No atmosphere, it's in an old fast food building, but great bbq.

Here, but occasionally There.
Well, if the sauce is sweet, we won't be going there. Wife and youngest son both detest sweet BBQ sauce. We have found a good BBQ place between Blanchard and Newcastle on Highway 76 called KT's Smokehouse. Good stuff there, and if I remember right, they have an option of an even hotter sauce.

Not to mention Danny Head of Head Country BBQ in Ponca won it twice.

Ate there. I ordered the ribs and and order of fries. The lady at the register looked up and asked if I was new. I was and was hungry.
Holy crap, there was 3 lbs of fries and a full slab of ribs on my plates (note plural) when it came out.
There was some scandal about that place that closed it. A murder or something among the owners? Been a long, long time ago.
