I missed to online order window by 2 minutes because they were closing. I had already sent my husband after the food. I ordered with Sarah and she could not have been more polite and nice about it. I wouldn’t have blamed her if she told me no for calling an order in 19 minutes before close. (I should have planned better and thought they didn’t close until 9). We love Billy sims and thank you so much Sarah for being so kind! Saved me from making dinner on the last night of Christmas break and making the evening an easy one. I won’t call so late again. Thank you again Sarah, so so much!

Been coming here for years, and I don’t know if there’s new management, but this was the worst experience I’ve had at a restaurant. While waiting, the customer in front returned due to missing the ribs. Guy was rude. Staff seemed annoyed to have customers. Guy questioned me several times about my request to cut potato like normal, after the first guy did the one cut, not all splayed out. The guy didn’t seem to comprehend how to add toppings like you do anywhere else without cutting it like tic tac toe. Did it his way anyway.Won’t be back. Too many other good BBQ in town to put up with that.

Flavor was great. Was disappointed 1 rib for a extra? Expected bigger portion for the price.also i asked for utensils and didn’t get them.

We were picking up food for someone highly allergic to pork and chicken. The guy did everything he could to make sure the brisket and turkey were pork and chicken free. They had such a great attitude about it which is hard to find these days!

The food is always great, whether it’s the Owasso or Claremore location. The employees are usually friendly, but in Owasso on Veterans Day not so much. We felt more like an interruption or annoyance rather than appreciated. They weren’t overly busy when we came in, so not sure what happened. As many times as we’ve been to both locations, this was the only time the employees were borderline rude, so hopefully it was just a one off.

I have missed this place, I have not been there much since Covid. But I was craving BBQ and this place always delivers… the soft mouth watering fall off the bone ribs will get you coming for more.
I usually do the 3 meat dinner so I get more choices

UPDATED REVIEW:
Decided to just do some BBQ research in Owasso…. so today I headed to Billy Sim’s BBQ for lunch.
I ordered the 2 meat dinner with pulled pork and bologna, beans and potato salad, water to drink.
Ordering is simple and not at all confusing. Read from a simple menu, place your order and get in the line to the cash register. Honestly the dude behind the counter was less than congenial, but it didn’t impact my lunch or my review.
Food was ready soon enough, given the 5 people ahead of me, so I count that as speedy enough.
Food, in tasting order….
The toast…. definitely not the star of the plate. Texas toast instead of regular sliced, so it was more dense and chewy, and only toasted on one side. Who does that? And it wasn’t hot or fresh. You could tell it’d been toasted and held for a while. But, you don’t go to a BBQ joint for the toast, so that is what it is.
The beans…. BS does what they call ‘cowboy beans’, and they’re good, if not a little one-note. Basically they were canned pork and beans with some meat thrown in and a splash or two of BBQ sauce. I doubt they’d seen the inside of a smoker. They were fine, but they could have been oh so much more with just a little time and effort.
The potato salad…. tender, creamy and packing a subtle but noticeable tang. I wouldn’t call it outstanding, but it was a definite addition to the plate.
The pulled pork… while having a moderate smoky flavor, it was also dry, lacking any of that fatty, juicy mouth feel that a good pulled pork should have. And, it got cold really quickly, so I suspect their holding process needs to be tweaked. You can hold pulled pork for a good long time without it drying out if you make the effort. The few bits of bark I got were outstanding, they were just few and far between.
The bologna… sliced sandwich thin, there were at least 2 slices. It was pretty well done…. good taste, texture and mouth feel. I felt a little miffed at how thin it was sliced, but I readily admit that’s just me. When I do it at home, it’s sliced nearly 1/2″ thick so you get a good bite. Again, not a detraction here, just an observation.
The meats are 1/4lb each, clearly stated when you order, so you know what you’re getting.
Personally, I think the portions were a bit light for the money, but I don’t run a restaurant and I’m not privy to BS’s P&L statements, so that will just remain an opinion and nothing more.
Cost ran to $19.51 for lunch, which is about a buck more than OJ’s, but I also got a tad more food and it was a whole lot better, so I think value wise, BS nosed out a win on that score.

As a Celiac, I miss eating meat-heavy meals at restaurants, due to the fact so many restaurants put gluten-containing marinades, seasonings and sauces on their foods.
This past weekend, I was in Oklahoma and stopped by Billy Sims BBQ with my family. This is an order-at-the-counter place with self-serve drinks. I told the guy who took my order that I am celiac and he instinctively grabbed a piece of bread to put in the toaster, caught himself and asked me if I wanted him to change gloves. He and the manager told me that their potato salad, their meats and their sauces are gluten-free!
Aside from their $5.99 sandwich and drink deal which is an amazing value but not gluten-free (my husband ordered it for himself) we got a few items to share with family.
For $21.99 we got a 3 meat plate which came with 2 sides, pickles, peppers, onions and a slice of bread (obviously I didn’t get bread.) I chose the polish sausage, sliced brisket and pulled pork along with double potato salad.
My other family members ordered the $12.99 smothered baked potato (jacket potato) that comes with butter, sour cream, cheese, chives, meat, sauce. They wanted to split it so the potato pictured is only half of the potato! It’s huge!
This is a casual restaurant chain owned by a former local footballer, and there are locations in Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, Iowa, Wisconsin and Michigan in the USA.
While the brisket was a tad dry for my tastes, I enjoyed all the sauces, the other meats and sides. The service was great and the price was a fantastic value.

Foods great. The to women and man working this evening not so good at communicating. Don’t ask any questions. The man is to busy watching the game on TV. The man isn’t listening to the woman at all his cussing. Screaming and yelling in the back. You didn’t want to help he just wanted to stand there and start off into space almost like he was on drugs. I felt sorry for the lady and still ticked her $5.
