Top 3 BBQ in Oklahoma City
OKC's barbecue picks — cross-referenced from Dave Cathey's top-5 405 barbecue list and The Lost Ogle's longtime best-of-OKC BBQ guide.
- #1
Edge Craft Barbecue
Classen-Ten-Penn
“Cathey's #1 new-school pick — Texas Hill Country style, standout brisket and sausage. Owner Zach Edge honed his craft at Maples before opening his own place; Thursday–Sunday 'til sold out.”
- #2
Clark Crew BBQ
NW Expressway
“Cathey: 'Oklahoma's recent national barbecue champion' — Travis Clark's batch-smoked brisket and ribs hold up at volume. High-output kitchen that also turns out pizza and burgers without losing the smoke.”
- #3
Iron Star Urban Barbecue
Western Avenue
“Gazette Best of OKC readers'-choice perennial — The Lost Ogle flags it as the polished, upscale counterpoint to Leo's. Opened 2002; named for Oklahoma outlaw Belle Starr.”
