    Service was outstanding. We were greeted by a very nice young man who made some great suggestions. He was super polite as well. I ordered the pulled pork platter with baked beans and curly fries. The fries were perfectly seasoned and just the right crispy-ness. The beans were smoky and a little bit of sweetness. The pulled pork was perfectly tender and very flavorful. I really liked the original sauce too. I’m from Kansas City and I’m picky about my bbq and this place didn’t disappoint. My daughters loved their sandwiches as well. My husband had ribs and was very pleased. Highly recommend this place. Staff was wonderful and friendly. Atmosphere was cute. Will definitely come here when we are in town again.

    Local classic restaurant- definitely a favorite of the community, and I know why- the food is great! The grill and smoker technique is classic and perfected. Great flavor And dope patio outside.

    Okay my favorite part of this place is the restaurant is like Narnia. You walk in… and it just opens up into a winding world of rooms and tables and there is a plethora of turns. If you have a “sensory-child” the giant outdoor patio area might be a good bet. Still it’s a huge indoor outdoor restaurant. A lot like Joe T Garcia’s in Ft. Worth.

    The open area is rustic setup and behind the wall bar(COOP) area is set up nicely. Food was made fresh and the ordering was smooth and easily readable. Online or pick up options...🚫NO Beef Ribs‼️

    The food was great, the service was even better! These folks know how to handle a busy crowd and they enjoyed every minute of it. The brisket was soft, the pulled pork was meaty, and the smoked Turkey was the most tender, juicy white meat I’ve had at a BBQ joint! Th he whole theme of the place is neat, very hole-in-the-wall and unique. I’ll be back for sure!

    I had the rib dinner, it came with 3 ribs and 2 sides. The ribs were super flavorful, a mild and hot BBQ sauce were available. Food was excellent! Kids corn dog was 1' long, so I had a super happy kid. We also had the strawberry cake and it was moist and delicious. Everyone was very helpful, I plan to go back and eat on their patio.

    Very solid Oklahoma BBQ joint. Easily one of the better in OKC(In my top 5). They use a light seasoning and smoke that allows the meats to stand out. The sides are solid as well. If there is one negative, it has to be the sauce, it’s not bad, just not that great. Good bbq doesn’t really need sauce, and theirs doesn’t need it! My wife and I will both highly recommend this place. As a bonus, the sweet tea is good as well!

    I'll start by saying the front door is in the middle of the front of the building and not on the corner of the front. I thought they were closed and called them to make sure they were open. They should probably put a sign with an arrow on it, but anyways. I tried to get a beer with my food but one of the young workers said the bar wasn't open. I thought it was weird so I just got water. About 10min later, I watched another couple get alcohol but one of the kids had to get a manager to get their drinks. So, were they just being lazy when i asked? The food tasted alright. I realize that I'm spoiled because i worked at Q39 in kansas city so I've had championship quality bbq. This wasn't bad but it didn't taste great. I wasn't a fan of the potato salad. The ambiance was very interesting. Very old school and outdated. I felt like I was going to fall through the booth when I sat down because the cushion had no support. There were a ton of flies inside. I was swatting them away the whole time I was eating. It was an OK experience but nothing great.

    Another great local spot in Oklahoma City! The food choices were extensive and had some family style menu options. We enjoyed sitting outside where live music was playing. Staff was friendly and attentive. We tried the brisket, pulled pork, grilled chicken breast and pork ribs. The pork ribs were off the charts GREAT! My only complaint was the brisket was a bit dry. Use the the BBQ sauce to moisten it up

    The brisket sandwich was delicious. Loved the ambience. The guy that took our order was meh at best. Other staff members were polite and efficient.

    After looking at several different reviews and ratings for food this barbecue place was pretty close to where I was so I decided to stop and eat here but I wish I would have saved my $30 and went somewhere else. It was not horrible but I definitely did not see what the hype was all about. I would compare it to Swadley‘s.

  • 2/5 William W. 1 year ago on Google
    I met Jeff, the owner, a delightful man. But the ribs were horrible. Hard as a rock…apparently beef ribs rather than pork. The sausage was tasteless. The brisket was excellent as were the fried okra and curly fries. If you like good bbq, go somewhere else.

    Came here for an early dinner on Saturday. Quaint place. Very friendly hostess/cashier. She gave me a few suggestions since I’d never been before. Food was good overall. I prefer my brisket fattier but the meat did fall apart with my fork touched it, so very tender. I enjoyed the cowboy beans and mixed up some of my brisket in with them. Toast was delicious and green beans were nothing spectacular. Exactly what I needed after a long day of driving/hiking. Large brisket plate with 8 ozs of brisket (small is only 4 ozs meat), 2 sides and toast was $22. Drinks are separate. Have to say I prefer my hometown Texas BBQ but that’s just me.

    First time that we’ve tried this place. We got pulled pork sandwiches, baked beans, green rice and egg rolls. The pulled pork was very tender and juicy!!! Delicious and the best pulled pork sandwich that we’ve had in the area!! The baked beans were wonderful. The green rice was also very delicious. Tried the egg rolls but not overly impressed. We ordered take out and the order was correct which is always a plus. Great service and will definitely visit here again soon!!

    10 out of 5. All my family kept saying is, "this is so good". The patio is beautiful with a laid back, family atmosphere. The service was amazing and everyone there definitely loves kids. This place was affordable for the portions. Just go!!!

    In the heart of Bedlam’s Bar-B-Q, where the exterior offered little hint of what lay within, curiosity piqued my senses. The bustling parking lot spoke volumes, and as I stepped out of the car, the wafting scent of sweet BBQ smoke enveloped me. It was lunchtime, and the menu stretched far and wide, but the allure of the special, Thierry's half-priced rib sandwich, proved irresistible. Inside, a rustic Western atmosphere unfolded, with open rafters adding to the charm. A restaurant's true worth often reveals itself in its occupancy and its clientele. The crowd was thriving, a mosaic of blue-collar patrons, and I felt assured. Served with anticipation, the rib sandwich didn't disappoint. Alongside it came a duo of BBQ sauces - one normal, the other boasting a promise of spiciness. Yet, the latter failed to deliver on its fiery anticipation. As a side, fried okra stepped up to the plate, hitting the mark with its crispy perfection. In the realm of value and flavor, Bedlam’s BBQ had struck a harmonious chord. With every savory bite, the experience gained momentum. Good food and great value intertwined, creating a tale of culinary delight that I couldn't help but savor.

    Mediocre bbq, pork spare ribs were dry with very little meat, tasted like they’ve been sitting for 8 hours. Smoked bologna was tasteless. Best thing on my plate was the fried okra. Restaurant is very dirty, cleaned off our own table and there was barely anyone there. Total joke, skip this place.

  • 3/5 Jewell F. 1 year ago on Google
    How this place got a 4.7 rating is beyond me. A 3.5 I can see. The food was okay so was the service. The place needs a good cleaning. If you like cafeteria style food or hungry as I was, then yah go there. But I don’t think I will go back if I had to choose again. Also wear a mask if you use the facility - it smells like pee.

    Good oldfashion BBQ restaurant. Order at counter. I had the 3 meat dinner. Ribs, Pulled Pork and Chopped Brisket with Curly Fries and Mac and Cheese. Ribs were good and tender. Both sauces were also good.

    Great BBQ food with quaint local atmosphere around OU football and Native American heritage. Not fancy by any mean but great spot for excellent local food

  • 5/5 D A. 1 year ago on Google
    Friends invited us to join them for dinner and live music! It was a little cool after the sun set but all the food had generous portions, was served hot and was delicious. Ribs were firm and meaty, seasoned, nicely smoked, and came away from the bone easily (the way I like them). We Highly Recommend and can't wait to return!
