This place has become nearly an overnight success in the past 7 years. HOME | butcher-bbq-stand (butcherbbqstand.com) I keep hearing about it when I come through, but never have enough time to try it. It is only open Fri-Sun from 11-3 or until sold out. This happens quite often I understand. They offer catering and even event service. They have garnered many awards and recommendations. PRESS | butcher-bbq-stand (butcherbbqstand.com)
Oklahoma is often quite underrated for BBQ and this place might be one of the reasons to fix that. It is located in a very small town along the I-44 turnpike corridor NE of Oklahoma City. The menu is quite diverse with anything and everything your heart desires. MENU | butcher-bbq-stand (butcherbbqstand.com) This place has it all. Every need or taste you may have will be satisfied.
Plenty of seating inside and out
Barb and I were a bit marooned in OKC waiting our RV to be repaired so we ventured out on a Friday to savor the goods. The line is rumored to be upwards of 45-60 minutes at times. We arrived early and only waited 40 minutes, but it was stretching by the time we left.
Promptly at 11 a.m. the pitmaster comes and out loudly proclaims, "ARE YOU CARNIVORES HUNGRY?" Then he gives his daily proclamation about the daily specials, etc. Everyone is clapping and pretty worked up by now. The line is the length of the building inside now, but the counter crew makes pretty short work of each order; very efficient. You make your choices, pay, and find a seat. Food is out within 5 minutes. Barb ordered the brisket/smoked sausage platter while I ordered the Brisket Burnt Ends (I LOVE THEM) and ribs with beans, corn on the cob, and tater salad.

Barb enjoyed her meal, but had no great praise for it. I loved everything on my plate. They give you 5 ribs that are tasty and tender as any I have ever had. The burnt ends are good, but not what I would call them. Not their usual crispy goodness, these are a large chunk of brisket cut into 1" cubes, but still very tender and delicious. The beans are the surprise treat of the visit. These baked beans have apple pie filling added for a delicious sweet, smoky taste. Best I have ever had! Each plate also came with a large chunk of white bread and a Twinkie for desert. There is a rack of BBQ sauces on the side counter that you help yourself to. The odd thing is it very much like a milking machine. Pick your flavor and squeeze.
We both enjoyed our meals. The food seems lightly smoked, yet very tender. Some of the best I have ever enjoyed in Oklahoma. The entire staff, from the pitmaster, to the counter staff, to the gophers are all very friendly and helpful. Total for our lunch was $47.
