Ordered to go. 2 Badwhich’s (is there anything else?). Absolutely delicious. The rib side is always the best side!
A full smokey flavored meats. Ribs were good just a little more char that we like. Friendly service and awesome atmosphere.
My uncle and I saw Elmer's and figured we'd give it a shot, and I'm so happy we did. The beer was cold and the BBQ was GOOD. We both had brisket (because that's what you do) and loved it so much that we went back for hot links and smoked sausage. All of it was amazing. I don't think you can go wrong. Elmer's is definitely on my list to visit again.
We drove about 45 minutes from Wagoner, and we stopped at 2 other BBQ joints here in Tulsa and honestly couldn't find parking. So we kept searching and came across this gem of Tulsa tradition. Super chill vibe, great owners, very polite, blues playing soft overhead but just enough to set the mood cause once you dig into their Barbeque it all just comes together. I couldn't walk out without taking a pint of their in-house made barbecue sauce.
I WILL be back You're missing out if you don't too. When you stop in, say hi to Keith and be prepared for a great experience.
My favorite BBQ restaurant is open again! Sadly, they closed at the height of the COVID pandemic. I was afraid I would never get to eat their incredible food again. I was so happy when I learned they were open in a new location a little further down Peoria. They actually opened back in January but somehow I didn't know it until now.
Same friendly folks and fortunately, the same amazing food! This is THE barbeque place that I judge all others against. The owner, Keith, said, "Good barbeque makes you happy." Well, I was very happy today! The ribs are my favorite menu item but, over the years, I have had most everything on the menu and it's all good. Pulled pork, beef, chicken, sausage, hot links, you name it, it's good. It's so good that there is no need to use sauce but their sauces are awesome and must be sampled. They have a spice I can't identify that gives them that signature Elmer's taste.
The new place is nice. The blues is still playing and the B B King Epiphone is still proudly displayed. It's in a popular trendy area a couple of blocks south of 31st St. The only drawback is parking. The area was really crowded and parking was in short supply. Don't worry about that though, the Q is worth hunting for a place to park.
Go to Elmer's!
Eat great Barbeque!
Be happy that you're helping a local business!
