At Swadley’s, every meat we serve is fresh, never frozen and smoked to absolute perfection. You’ll love our chopped or sliced brisket, hand-rubbed pork spare ribs or juicy smoked turkey. And we’re not blowin’ smoke here – our family’s been perfecting our BBQ for over 80 delicious years.

Great experience at Swadley’s BBQ! We ordered the OK Sampler and everything was delicious — the meats were tender, the sides were flavorful, and the portions were generous. Our waitress Ryan was fantastic, very friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. Excellent service and great food, we’ll definitely be back!

2-18-26 around 7:30 PM. I phoned in an order for the burnt ends sandwich combo with a side of spicy beans. With taxes and tip it was $24.31. What I got after getting back on the road was not what I expected. The meat was dry and almost inedible, the bun was stale and the beans were almost dry as if they had been setting out too long. I was asked on the phone if I wanted extra sauce on the side which I said yes, but there wasn’t any. Maybe that would have helped. The tea was warm and quickly melted the ice. I couldn’t help but wonder if my experience would have been different if I was a dine in customer rather than a drive through. Apparently I ordered what wasn’t the popular items.

We hadn’t eaten at Swadley’s in El Reno in quite some time and were pleasantly surprised at how delicious the ribs were. They were the best we’ve had. They were so tender and the flavor was fantastic. We asked to speak to the Manager and it was Angela who we gave our compliment to. She told us Jorge, the kitchen Manager does a great job, and we agree! Our server Rueben was very attentive and checked on us throughout our meal. Great dining experience and we will be back!

Johnny was hands down the best server at Swadley’s Bar-B-Q. I was not there personally, but my parents were dining out after my dad had an eye procedure and could not see well. Knowing that, Johnny went above and beyond to make sure my mom and dad were taken care of and that truly meant the world to me.
He was patient, kind, and incredibly attentive. Turning a stressful day into a comforting and positive experience. As always, the food was great. The extra touch that stood out most was the travel ice cream he sent my dad home with. My dad absolutely loved it. (Maybe ice cream cures everything)
Thank you, Johnny, for your compassion and for taking such great care of my parents.
❤️

THE BEST BBQ EVER. Seriously I have been all over the country and this is THE BEST.
I was just passing through Oklahoma and stopped for food. I ordered the Oklahoma Sampler. The ribs were so tender and all of the meat was well seasoned. I tried all 3 sauces they were great but this BBQ really didn’t need any. I would say order the fatter brisket.
Then who can say no to ice cream. They have an ice cream machine with vanilla, chocolate or swirl. I didn’t try any of the menu desserts because I was so full .
Swadley’s was so good, on the way back through OK I stopped again. It was even better the second time. This time I tried The Ultimate. I wanted to order another one for the road.
I can talk all day about Swadley’s but I would definitely tell you to stop and try it for yourself you will not be disappointed. Cheers.

A full rack (12-14 bones) of beef ribs for under $30 feeds me my wife and 3 kids! You cannot beat swadleys for quality and value. With sides we feed the whole family for less than $50. I’ve spent more feeding the family at Sonic or Mcdonalds. And the food is really good. Real quality barbecue! Wake up, people! Swadleys is the truth!

Greeted by Richard who started everything out right! Friendly with a full knowledge of the menu. Made meal suggestions at our request. Super helpful.
. Dylan cleaned the only dirty table in the restaurant because that’s where we wanted to sit. Beyond willing, did it with a smile and asked if he could help in any other way. Sarah waited on our table and she was friendly & kept our waters full.
It was such a pleasant experience to a very trying day. So thankful.
