Billy Sims is a nice restaurant with friendly workers. Very clean and reasonably priced. The food is very good. The brisket is tasty and lean so little fat. The baked potatoes are HUGE! It’s like two meals.

Compare it to the Subway of Ribs places. Not a place I’d take the family to for a nice sit down meal. Ribs are OK, but I don’t think they’re made on location, I saw them cutting mine out of a vacuum sealed bag prior to cutting them up. Employees were kind and helpful. Service was quick. Most people were getting take out.

Pretty good Oklahoma sauces, friendly service. I did not like that their loaded baked potato (comes with meat and all toppings) is priced $8, and a regular baked potato is $5 (just sour cream and cheese). Seems a little steep for one potato in my opinion.

Well I’m from Texas originally and finally broke down and gave this place a try. Got the 3 meat dinner. The sides were OK and the hot link and turkey were OK. But the sliced brisket looked and tasted like beef Jerky. Where in the barbeque world is that OK? Nowhere.

We have visited Billy Sims numerous times, usually taking our food to go. My husband LOVES their ribs, never uses a sauce just likes them by themselves. They have a good salad I like with brisket pieces. Their potato salad is great! Must try for sure.

Visited with my wife for our 4 year anniversary. We each ordered a legendary spud and a half back. The service was great and helpful, the restaurant was clean, and above all the food was fantastic. SE of the best ribs I’ve had in years. Definitely will return.

I enjoyed the brisket and hot link. The 2 meat combo is quite a bit of food.

As another reviewer said this was great for BBQ from a chain. I spent a lot of time debating whether I wanted to put in the money for an order, and finally gave in today. My ribs were absolutely not dry; very moist, a little fatty, and delicious. Mac n cheese seemed to be missing something flavor wise, but texture wise was great which is where a lot of chains fall short in the mac n cheese area. I ordered online and food was hot as well as ready on time.
