Well people like different kinds of bbq. I'm no expert but to me Van's is more like Carolina style and Robb's is more like Texas style, especially the sauce.
I'm a big fan of Ray's. Tender, smokey, meaty and I like their sauce. Even better is Butcher BBQ by Welston. Rib Crib is unacceptable. Been a while but I've had pretty good ribs at Toby Keith's. Earl's serves good solid (not superior) ribs with a high degree of uniformity from visit to visit. Unlike Van's these places don't have that faint lighter fluid taste so many seem to like. Have eaten at the Shawnee location 3 times and the Moore one once and every time the lighter fluid taste was there. Just unlucky I figure because so many folks rave about the place.
It's okay for me, not as great as some say it is in my opinion.
I don't know where it comes from or if he makes it himself but Robb's sauce is one of the best that I've tried. The only bbq sauce I like better is a recipe that a guy I know got from an old women that used to have a bbq joint in the SE part of the state way back when.
I miss the old Knotty Pine BBQ on Chas. Page Blvd (Sand Springs line). An old beer joint turned into a bbq place in kind of a seedy area. It burned down and never reopened there. Various family members tried to restart it but it was never as good as the old place and they went out of business.
Wife and I eat at Trails End BBQ and it's not bad. We tried Oklahoma Joes and weren't impressed so never went back.
We ate at Rib Crib a couple times and it was OK but not some place we think of when we want bbq.

mac's is probably still my favorite I have ever had any where
Back when I was a pup we used to make a special trip now and then to Bob's BBQ in Ada.
I really don't remember how good it was but everyone always raved about it. I don't know if they all liked it because of the food, or because there was a lot of it, or both.
