This store is ok, but I prefer the Bricktown location more.

The BBQ is good as are the sides. If you are on this side of town it may not be worth the drive to Bricktown and the parking issues that sometimes occur.

Favorite sandwich. I treat myself once a month to The Smokestack sandwich. It is one of my favorite's of all time. The mixture of chopped brisket, hot links and cole slaw makes for a great treat. If you are not doing just meats and sides, which are also good, I highly recommend The Smokestack.

A-mazing. I'm not sure what the other reviewer's are talking about, but this place was GREAT! We just got back from eating there, I wasn't real sure but what made me want to give them a try was the manager's response to the other reviews. I looked up several BBQ restaurants before deciding on this one.

I had to rib plate, baked potato and baked beans. I like my ribs crunchy, like when they're grilled, I mentioned that to the waitress (Iesha, I believe was her name) and she had them throw the ribs on the grill for me. Everything was SO good, the ribs were crunchy, but moist on the inside and just fell off the bones. I could not eat everything, although I wanted to.

My husband had the Earl's Binge, he couldn't eat all of his either.

Our waitress was sweet and the food was delicious. Give it a try!

Earl's makes all the other bbq restaurants in town look like amateurs. The only complaint I have is there is no drive thru.

Not fancy, but darn good food!!. Don't expect to be wowed when you walk in... You walk in and order your food at the window.... But when it comes out you will be VERY happy you came. Food was excellent - fall off the bone rib meat, big portions. Even has great salads with any meat topping you want! Great casual lunch/dinner place!! Would definitelt make this a regular place to visit!

My Favorite Eatery in OKC. We get to OKC maybe twice a year and NEVER miss a chance to eat at Earl's!! The burgers are the best I've ever had and the BBQ is great as well. And the price is just super. I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!! Sure wish I was closer. If you get a meal here and leave hungry, you have a tapeworm!!!

Outstanding BBQ. Raegan and I had dinner at Earl's last evening. We started off with an order of the BBQ wings. Those wings were simply the best I have ever had. The BBQ was perfect, and the flavor of the wings superb. They were just the right size.

We both got two-meat dinners. Raegan got turkey and pulled pork, I got sliced brisket and chicken. Every bit of this was outstanding. The turkey and chicken were moist and had great smoke flavor. The pulled pork and brisket were tender and not-quite-fall-apart fork tender, and tasted excellent. Our check was about $36.00. Service was perfect, in spite of the growing number of people in the place. We were there from 1830 to 1940. Outstanding flavor and value.

Great Ribs, Great Value. I finally made it to Earl's and I have to say they have a good thing going here. It's a simple, no frills atmosphere with a Hub Cap/License Plate/Elvis motif. I ordered the rib dinner with beans and potato salad. The ribs were 5 of the biggest (remember the ones they put on Fred Flintstone's car, making it tip over?), meatiest, dry-rub ribs I've ever seen. They were tender, smokey and tasty. There's also a good hot or mild sauce on the table--and mixed together they are quite good. The baked beans are served hot (thank you!) and have a great spicy kick. The potato salad (very coarsely cut spuds) is very good too. It's a big meal and when you get the bill for $10.99 you almost think there's been a mistake. I would say the majority of rib places I've been to typically charge at least $15-20 for the same type of meal. It's all good!

Great barbecue. I love this place! Everything is delicious, and they have the best coleslaw in the world. They need larger drinks, so one doesn't have to depend on the server, and need to do some interior maintenance.

TCB Burger DEILICIOUS!!!!. I tried the TCB burger special and it was wonderful!!! TCB stands for "taking care of bussiness" It comes with the usual cheese, bacon, lettuce, tomato, and pickle spear; then they ADD grilled onions and jalepenos!!! The bacon was perfectly crisp, the onions and jalepenos had a perfect little bit of caramelization, and the burger patty was thick and juicy with just he right amount of char grill marks to add that littlle extra kick of grills flavor.The TCB and fries that came with it were big enough for me to split with someone at lunchtime, but made for a perfect winding down dinner after work.

Glad we stopped by. Monday had buffet so got to sample all. Good ribs and chopped meat but especially outstanding potato salad, Texas toast, and perfect sweet tea. Only complaint was ran out of peach cobbler. Great staff. In my 7 year old sons words, "my tummy says STOP but my tongue says KEEP GOING"

Good food, reasonable prices. Good smoked flavor especially on the ribs. Very good sauces. Ate more than I should and sampled everything for under $13.

Definitely worth a visit.

Earl's?. Good sauce, good meat, and the place smells great. If you make it to the parking lot, you probably will not be able to resist going in to eat. Ordering is done at the register, fast food style, which gives you a chance to look at the menu while you wait, but you do have to stand in line before you get a seat. At least they are good enough to bring your food to your table after you order, and the food does come up fairly quickly. Also, the staff were very friendly. I got the "Big Earl's Sandwich" which is a great offering because you get to select two types of meat, and I can never decide between brisket or pulled pork. I would stay away from the curly fries for a side, though. They were neither crispy nor seasoned. "That's what the barbeque sauce is for", right, but given the alternate sides (corn, okra, etc) available at a BBQ restaurant, I'll probably opt for something a little more exotic when I go back.

Had the Big Earl dinner with hot link and smoked turkey. With baked beans and deviled eggs. The Okie toast is way better than that Texas Toast. Goota stop by Earl's if you are coming to OKC.

As you walk in the door, you are greeted with an amazing smokey hickory smell. Yum. Then, a friendly greeting followed by really good, tender ribs, just sweet enough tastey sauce and perfect iced tea. We will be back. Thank you, Earl and everyone who helped create a great and satisfying experience for us. We will stop next time we come through Oklahoma.

AWESOME BBQ!! I stop in sometimes just to get a fountain coke. I don't know what it is but something makes their fountain drinks.... just better tasting.

This place was recommended to me twice by strangers, specifically for the ribs. I ordered the ribs. The ribs were tender, but not very flavorful. I've definitely had better. My friend ordered some brisket which was tasty. Service was very good and my child enjoyed his Mac and cheese. They offer children a free root beer float, which we didn't take them up in.

Earl's is our go to place for BBQ. We found this goldmine of ribs a couple year's back,, when Stelly (she was 5) wanted "meat on a stick". So glad we did! The restaurant is always clean and busling with people; without feeling busy. The bathrooms are clean and always have all the necessary items. 🚻 It seems like we always get the ribs... we just ❤ them! The "earlapenos" are a perfect order of stuffed wrapped jalepeno poppers. 🌶 😋 If you haven't tried Earl's Rib Palace you are missing out! It's a delicious and fun experience every time for our family 👪.

My only negative is that I cannot afford to eat here 7 days a week! Since we found this place in 2019 we don't eat BBQ anywhere else in OKC, Moore or Norman. We tried Vans, Rudy's in Norman, Swadleys, Pappy's and even our former fav from when we lived in Broken Arrow... Rib Crib, and a couple others sadly, nothing else compares. Taste A+, Portion Size A+, Friendliness of Staff A+, Cleanliness A+. Being recognized as a regular and given free drinks because of it....A+. Taking care to pay attention to customers allergy concerns A+. Would give more stars if I could!

Fair prices, great selection, delicious BBQ, amazingly friendly staff and owner. Also, great, fresh tasting unsweet tea! If you're in the OKC area and are in the mood for some BBQ like Oklahoma used to have in the 80s and 90s everywhere you went, then stop in here. It won't let you down!
