Mac’s was started in 1985 by Mike McMillan in Skiatook, Oklahoma. He quickly grew his reputation through local and national competitions winning a variety of awards, including the prestigious American Royal and the Jack Daniels invitational. At Mac’s, we take pride in our barbeque. It is no frills, just premium meats and ingredients cooked the old fashioned way over pecan wood using our homemade rub. Our award winning sauce is made fresh weekly and is our own recipe. It has become a staple part of the Mac’s tradition and taste.
Stalwart counter-serve option with a no-nonsense seating area & menu of smoked meat & sandwiches.

The orange roughy had this beautiful blackened crust with just the right amount of heat from the chili crisp – perfectly seasoned and cooked to flaky perfection. The fish was moist and tender on the inside while having that satisfying crispy exterior.
But let’s talk about those cheese grits – creamy, rich, and the perfect complement to the spiced fish. The combination was next level comfort food. The fresh chives on top added a nice brightness that tied everything together.
You can tell Adam puts serious care into their specials. For a BBQ joint to nail seafood like this is really impressive. The presentation was beautiful too – this is restaurant-quality plating.
If you see this as a special, don’t hesitate.
Quick service, friendly staff and if you’re unsure on what to get, get a combination of meats! You can’t go wrong with anything! Also the bread pudding is amazing!
Have been waiting to come here for some time and I’ll definitely be coming back in the future!
Stopped here for a bite to eat before a fishing trip and was so impressed!
My husband got an insanely huge sandwich and I got sliced brisket with sides (potato salad and macaroni and cheese both on point!). The service was fantastic and our food was ready seconds after we paid. Also, what a CUTE spot! It looks unassuming from outside but the atmosphere is great. Prices were very, very reasonable for the amount of food.
100% can’t wait to stop here again when we head that way! With love from Tulsa!

Barbecue is the beloved food of Oklahoma, so much so that loyalty to a favorite spot can make all others feel like blasphemy. Mac’s, a staple in Skiatook since 1985, was originally founded by Mike McMillan. Today, it’s in the hands of Adam Green, a military veteran and smoke master who has elevated barbecue to new heights. Under Adam’s leadership, Mac’s recently won the Tulsa World BBQ Bracket Contest, with “Mac’s Mafia” showing up in full force to support.
Adam’s dedication to hard work and passion for his craft shine through in every dish. He brings creativity to barbecue with unique flavor profiles that go far beyond traditional smoked meats. Each visit has revealed new seasonings; honey, coriander, cumin, rosemary, and thyme all adding depth to his incredible creations.
With Mac’s recent competition victory, it was the perfect time for a formal review. So, let’s see what’s smokin’ let’s eat!
Smoked Turkey
The depth of smoke Adam achieves with each bite is impressive. Every mouthful perfectly fuses the smoky flavor with the delicate seasoning of the turkey. The meat is incredibly juicy, with the smoke and seasoning so well integrated throughout the breast that I initially thought it had been brined. However, I later learned that this remarkable flavor is purely the result of Adam’s smoking expertise.
Chicken Leg
Much like the breast, the leg offers a perfect balance of smoke and seasoning. Each bite falls off the bone, delivering initial bursts of rich salt, paprika, and pepper, followed by tender, smoky chicken. The finish is a delightful blend of chicken fat and skin that coats the palate beautifully.
Pork Ribs
The ribs offer a tender yet slightly firm texture, providing a pleasing contrast in each bite. Once again, the balance of smoke, seasoning, and meat is masterfully executed. The flavor journey begins with a burst of seasoning, transitions to the richness of the pork, and finishes with a perfect touch of smoke.
Pulled pork
The pulled pork was the most delicate in terms of smoke and seasoning with an emphasis on the pork flavor. It was tender and juicy.
Jalapeno and Cheddar Polish Sausage
Each bite delivers the rich, savory flavor of sausage, followed by sharp cheddar and smoke in the middle, and finishing with the subtle heat of jalapeño. The blend of flavors elevates this sausage far beyond the traditional smoked variety.
Sides: Coleslaw, Potato Salad, BBQ Beans
The coleslaw is bold and unapologetic. Its creamy sauce is perfectly balanced with the crisp slaw, delivering an intense hit of garlic and cream that gives way to the fresh flavor of the cabbage, creating a beautifully counterbalanced palate experience. It’s a powerful combination.The potato salad, featuring eggs, leans on the creamy side with chunks of potato and a mild tang from mustard and dressing. The beans aren’t overly sweet, offering a smoky barbecue flavor with bits of chewy meat. The green beans have a classic profile, seasoned with smoke and salt.
Overall:
Mac’s is truly a barbecue mecca for its loyal “mafia” and all of Oklahoma. Adam’s mastery of the smoking process and his innovation with proteins set him apart. His weekly specials, featuring items like redfish, half chickens, salmon, and beef ribs, go beyond the traditional pulled pork, brisket, and ribs. This creativity allows Adam to explore new flavors rather than focusing solely on one barbecue style, such as Carolina or Texas. By doing so, he offers something fresh in a field that often clings to tradition without moving forward. Until next time, friends—let’s eat!
Final score: 53/60 Excellent
We arrived at the restaurant a little after 2PM and they had sold out of ribs, chicken and turkey. So, it was beef, pork and sausage for me on the large 3 meat meal. Certainly some of the best tasting, tender, juicy smoked meats I have had in Oklahoma. The sides (beans and potato salad) were also very good. The portions were good for meats and sides. I am not a fan of the sweet syrupy BBQ sauces you typically find in Oklahoma, but their hot BBQ sauce is decent.
