Reviews of Swadley's (Restaurant)

Rebecca Lassiter

Wonderful food! Old town charm from the second you walk in the door. Wait staff was very friendly and we never had to get their attention,as the were all over the place checking on all the customers. And free ice cream!! Who can ask for more? Well me I then had to try the chocolate cake and it was moist and delicious

J Gaglia

We had a wonderful experience at this location recently. The food was amazing and the staff was very helpful. Katie was a fantastic serving associate and I would definitely ask for her.

SUZANNE DIAZ

NICE CLEAN AND WELL DECORATED RESTAUANT !! LITTLE BIT EXPENSIVE BUT GREEEET FOOD !!!!!!

Lara McClure

The food was amazing. I ordered the stuffed baked potato and the Oklahoma platter. The potato was so huge I was able to have it for lunch at work. The platter had enough food to feed 2 people. Well worth the money.

Denise Wagner

Great service, great food. If you haven't been, you should try it.

Amanda Cole

Do people come any friendlier?! Great food.

Cory Capps

Came in and had the catfish dinner with two of my pals from Kansas City. They were happy with their Oklahoma sampler and felt it was a good selection of BBQ that would be fit in the Kansas City BBQ scene. My catfish was good and perfectly portioned for filling up a southern mans gut. You won't be let down- no matter what protein you select your going to go home full and happy. Thanks for keeping the standard of BBQ high in Oklahoma guys!

Kari Wilson

I love Swadleys! The service is absolutely amazing and of course the best ribs to be found!!!!!!

Teri Farrell

This visit wasn't the WOW visit like last time due to the fact that the best waitress ever quit after two weeks. No other wait staff can compare. Tonight Managers had to pick up the slack that the wait staff was lacking in. Said Management did make us feel welcome and visited with us like we mattered, as it should be. I think the managers need to teach the waitstaff how to go out of their way to make the customers feel like they would a guest in their own house.

wayne Schinnow

Terrible tonight will not be going back anytime soon. Someone needs to remind them, chicken fried steak has gravy. Seriously how expensive is gravy?

Michelle Lewis

Oh my God, so good! Their chicken and their pulled pork are awesome and you definitely don't leave hungry. Hell, even their sweet tea is perfect (You might not think someone can screw up sweet tea, but you'd be surprised)! The service is great, too. We will definitely go back, no doubt about it! Forget Vans, forget Rib Crib. Go here instead.

Steve Fritz

good people that will freely Express there faith. and damn there food is just great. in a world that is shutting down people express religous views good for you

Allie Sanchez

We had a really great experience. The food was good. We were a party of 6 and the server we had- I wish I remembered his name - he is a man in his 50s. Said he just moved back to the okc area- he was great and took such good care of us. It's made such a great family time for us. Thank you

Larry Williams

One of my favorite BBQ places. I recommend the Ribs

John Yocum

Great tasting barbecue, but a little expensive. Country dining atmosphere, very friendly table staff.

Lynda Mobley

Great place to enjoy BBQ. Food is outstanding. They have a wide variety of side dishes to accompany the meats, chicken and catfish fillets. The whole team is courteous and efficient. And several convenient locations around the Oklahoma City metro.

Sarah Hanson

Best bar-b-que in the city! Love the food and love the servers! They have the best smoked turkey!

Heather W

The food is amazing. Very high priced tho.

Ashley W

This was really good! My husband and I shared the Oklahoma sampler and it was plenty of food for us. Ribs, smoked chicken, ham, brisket, and sausage and it was all good!

Wendell Smith

Great service! And great food!

Bonnie Mitchell

My favorite place to get chicken fried steak. I keep meaning to try something else for dinner, but always end up getting the chicken fry. Best I've ever had anywhere. Puts Anne's to shame.

S. L. Moore

Consistently wonderful! Had catfish today for first time at this restaurant. It was very clean.

Stacy Speir

Great service and great food.

Jeff Draper

Very good! Fried okra was delish!

Janet D.

Always delicious food and great service. One of our favorite places to eat out. A great variety of barbeque sauces. :-)

Gwen Barnett

Great food. Great people

manuel Tankersley

Very tough ribs did not enjoy the ribs at all had a Oklahoma sampler everything else is okay did not provide any wet net or anything for our hands so I had to drive home with sticky hands restroom had a long line too many people there for that small location

Steven Johnke

Sarah and guy where beyond amazing friendly and curtious

Jon Werner

Good BBQ. Good atmosphere. It’s some of the better bbq in Oklahoma. Not the best. The salad bar is really good!

Stephanie Boykin

Great BBQ ! My favorite is the loaded spud with chopped brisket. They have the best sweet tea also !

Charles Seegel

Had a great experience. The food was great and the service was superb. Our new favorite BBQ place.

Donna Tosh

I ordered the chopped brisket sandwich and okra. It was great. The okra is always perfect...nice and crispy. I love the sweet barbecue sauce.

Tammy Nix

Extremely great place and so nice.

Deanna Forsythe

I ordered chicken and didn't really care for it. My husband ordered sliced brisket and it was good. The Mac and cheese and it's was amazing. I didn't really care for their hot bbq sauce.

Donna King

Great food service depends on the day. Never horrible though.

Brenda Fourkiller

On June 21, 2019 @5:02 pm. I placed order to be picked up. The gentleman that took my order (Guy F#657). I picked up order. Got home to find out that I had spend $32.49 for BBQ dinner. Without any BBQ sauce. Now I know taking a order Is rocket science. Thank you Guy F #657 for teaching me how to eat a BBQ dinner Without any sauce. Don't think I will be back. I can only hope this happens to you someday. So you might understand.

Sam M

Food was great and very fresh but service was lacking. Once you got seated and drinks we never experienced a visit from the server until we stopped them and asked for things. Had it been better this would've been 5 stars.

Casper Fessenden

Service was great. Food was lacking. I ordered the Oklahoma sampler platter and the taste was great. Not too salty, BBQ sauce was good. But, the meat was dry and cold like it was sitting out too long. Brisket dry, chicken dry, ham dry, sausage not dry but room temp, rib not dry but room temp. The sides were great but was the only thing warm. Had potato salad, Mac n cheese and a roll. 5 stars on the sides but dry cold meat is a let down.

kilbrent stephenson

Fresh food and helpful staff

Brian Davis

This place is good, and always consistent food! If you want the best BBQ, come here and you will always come back!

Byron Johnston

Excellent food!! Service was incredible. One of the best experiences I’ve had in a very long time. Swadleys is doing it right.

Angela Baker

Best bar-b-q in town

Mary Vowell

Haven't tried anything that I do not like. Portions are big I have enough left over to make a second meal.

Nancy Stewart

Baked potato wasn't done.

Jo Wilk

Really enjoy the BBQ. Had the two meat meal, two sides, too much to eat unless you are a big eater.stuffed. the sides potato salad was spot on, and the sweet baked beans also great. Could have them every time. I will be back.

Michael Firey

I had the two meat dinner with ribs, sliced brisket, okra, and green beans. The green beans were amazing. The okra was good as well. The flavors of everything including three different sauces (I didn't try the fourth which was hot) were spot on. The meats were disappointing for how highly reviewed this place was. For what I spent including the drink (and you'll have a server you'll need to tip) I could have gotten a decent steak dinner. The brisket: it was dry but tender. I just don't personally like brisket that has almost no moisture left in it. Again the flavor was good but I had to drown it in sauce. The ribs: Again, the flavor was perfect but the meat...I hate to rip on a place but these ribs were a disaster. I was literally struggling to tear the meat away from the bones with my fork. I'm still digging the meat out of my teeth as I type this. It was like eating jerky with bones dipped in barbeque sauce. If you like great ribs this is not the place to go unless you're a beaver that likes to gnaw on things.

Tim Collins

Had no ribs. But had a good time food was good.....but no ribs.

Miguel Fernandez

The servers and cashiers are some of the best and friendliest that I've ever encountered (Thanks Walter)! The food? It is very flavorful, smokey and tender! If you are ever in this area just stop here and eat. You will not regret it! The prices are reasonable and the food is great. These are some of the best ribs I've ever tasted! Very satisfying!

Daniel C

One of the best loaded spuds I've had in years! The brisket was smoked to perfection, the potato itself was cooked perfectly and the staff was amazing! Will definetly be going back!

Terry May

Always consistently great food. Not big on the ribs, but everything else is awesome.

jonathan garrett

It's typical BBQ, nothing really stands out. Well maybe the price..... $$$$

Jeff Hooper

Been coming here for along time, I visit the Western location once a week at least. When they are having an off day its still 4 stars. I used to smoke a lot of my own meats but when Swadley's is better, more consistent and convenient why bother. Keep growing, I'd love to see one in Moore or Norman, its closer to home for when I pickup a family feast on the weekend for special occasions. I hate you all are closed on Sundays, but its also one of the reasons I respect you so much. Keep up the good work.

Marissa Wolf

Husband loves this place. I don’t eat meat so I usually snag some sides and they’re pretty delicious.

Lecollia Bond

Everything was great this time!

Matthew King

Amazing bbq in a laid back atmosphere. Prices are a little high but worth it plus you get free icecream.

Falcon One

I love your bbq so much! Top 3 for sure! #1 Murky Waters, Ocean Springs, MS. #2 BurnCo, Tulsa

Thainado Dragon

Great burgers and salad bar.

Amazing. Stopped by and felt at home. Server Michelle made us feel like regulars. Unmatched food and service.

Deborah West

Pretty good bbq, serving portions are very large.

Stanley Heath

The food was ok but way overpriced

theresa riemer

Good food , ask for Walter and get great friendly service!!

Matthew Givens

Good BBQ good sides great service

Stephen Bell

I visit here often and have never had a bad experience. The staff was very friendly and went out of there way to please. As for the food...I highly recommend it. It's always good with large portions at a reasonable price.

Cindy Osborne

Great food, great service!

Natasha Terrell

Always good and always delicious! The sampler plate at 17.99 usually gives a Swadley fix for two days. The fried fish is also very good. The fish is a bit pricey at 15.99 for a few pieces (how about all you can eat at that price, hint, hint!) but very good. And, to top if off customer service is very good. We went with the intentions of trying the ribeye steak as the commercial informed but it's not available until October. I'll be back for that steak fix in October.

Blanca Perry

The food and service are on point!!! One of the best in Oklahoma City, so I will definitely recommend this location, and will be back myself

Danny Thomas

Today was special for my GFF and I. Early Mothere Day and UnBirthday for us today. We had Michelle for our server today. She was outstanding! Friendly and hustling about taking care of several tables. See the picture of our plates. YUM AND YUM YUM!!

Casey Wells

Always good BBQ and a fresh salad bar, especially for the reasonable price. Service is usually really good too. This location is regular for our work group.

Kirsten Graves

The food is great and so is the staff!

Stevenia Burk

Little high priced for me but love the food and the wait staff

Michael Brem

Dettra Jones

The the food is great and love the free ice cream

Bill Shipley

I've never been disappointed at Swadley's. Food is always good. Service is very good. Love their BBQ.

Sharron Vaughn

This place is ALWAYS. ON. POINT. A great place to eat with groups as well. The food service is fast and tastes amazing. Definitely one of my favorite BBQ spots in the metro. And don't forget your free ice cream if you're dining in!

Dave Miller

Always good BBQ, never been unsatisfied with a meal here.

Allen Lill

When you walk in the place, the smokey smell lets you know you came to the right place.

Mike Brown

Great food with a great taste. Their help staff was excellent as well.

Jon Demarest

I was pleasantly surprised by this place. Food very reminiscent of the big family cook-outs I grew up with.

Tina Jackson

I've never been to Swadly's. My co worker recommend going for lunch. Amazing l loved it. Best BBQ ever. Quick device. Fresh hot flavorful food. Staff was so accommodating. Since I had never eaten there our waitress bright me a sample of every BBQ sauce to try. Wish I had remembered to take a picture of the food. Next time for sure. The sure don't skimp on the portion size. You won't leave hungry .

Steven R

Portion sizes have changed quite a bit. Even the cake is smaller now, they give you a quarter of what they used too. Yet the prices are the same or even higher.

Matt Hogle

Exceptional customer service! The food is excellent as well. The cream corn is a must, the best cream corn I've ever had. The manager was very nice, friendly, and sincere. Overall fantastic food experience.

Erica Coffman

Swadleys is a great family restaurant. We always get the whole farm feast which will usually feed my family of 5 for two days . They are a little expensive,but really great barbeque .

Angela White

Best bbq hospitality in southwest okc.. with free ice cream

Paulette Coleman

Love the food, waitress 10 star, and the environment 10 star

Denny Vanderburg

Finest country service and barbecue you could ask for! Sugar in everything and the word “sweet” in most options! Great sauce options and excellent brisket. Not my favorite fries, you could do with a lot better side options and they have plenty! Everyone was super friendly and service was excellent!

Steve Edwards

OK BBQ, but I would not go out of my way to visit. We visited with a soccer team and parents. They were able to accommodate about 30 of us well. The kids liked it quite a bit. Free icecream cones at the end of dinner!

Terry Davis

Very good BBQ. Not the best I've had, but consistently good and tasty.

cody Rush

Don't eat here. Youll pay 19$ for a tiny lil bit of medicore brisket. They rip you off big time. I'll never come back here

Jacob Collins

We went with a work group of 28 people and had no problems at all. They were quick with orders, kept drinks refilled, and let us all sit together in their "party" room. The food was amazing and the portions were so "healthy" that they were unhealthy.

Mark Chadwell

Awesome BBQ... Ultimate sandwich was best.

Alex Pollock

Absolute best bbq place there is! Love the Oklahoma sampler!

Ethel Schiller

This place is amazing!! Great BBQ great sides and great friendly service!

Preston Rider

I had the chicken and fried okra with coleslaw. The chicken was fork tender, the okra is extra crispy, and the coleslaw wasn't to sweet. This is always a place we will eat at whe. We are in town.

David McGill

3rd in line at 1040AM. BOOMER!!

jstangel01

Great atmosphere quick service our waitress was quick with our large table and having a great time with us. Small plates for price but great flavor!!

Laura M

Food, atmosphere, and service were all good. The best ribs I've had in South OKC. Prices were a little high and there were multiple times I needed something and couldn't see our waitress and had to get up to get what I needed. They were very busy at dinner time tho.

Vince Montgomery

A little pricey but good barbecue

Ramona Etris

Friendly service, fast too! Food tasted great! !

Darrel Clark

Good if you like barbecue.

Joana Cornell

Great food but prices went up

Janette Wright

The BBQ and sides were a delicious meal. But i thought that $15.00 for chopped brisket , two sides and a roll (no drink) was a little much for a place with a drive thru. It was super good and I will eat there again but I'll do it on a day I'm not on a budget...lol

LeeAnn Rodriguez

Great service, very friendly, ribs and brisket taste so good. Baked potato good also, decided to try Mac and cheese, not that good in my opinion, I'll try okra next time. Prices are high so I don't go as often as I'd like to but definitely will go again, best ribs and brisket I've had in Oklahoma.

Brandon Shelton

Food was good but seemed stingy with the BBQ sauce of all things. And to respond I did ask for more 4 different times. I feel that for me and my son spending $40 I shouldn't have to ask that many times I'm sorry but I will not be back. I will go to van's instead!

Joe

Good bbq and good service.

Merry Torres

I wish I would have gotten the name of our waiter. He was awesome. He was truly a master of customer service and you could tell that he felt joy in his service. He deserves 10 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐!!! This was the swadleys on South Western :)

Luther Dawson

It's always good but the ribs tonight we're tough

Kellon Earl

Not bad ribs. Good size portions

LeighAnn Tilley

The food is consistently, good the staff is amazing, always gracious and attentive, but it’s way overpriced.

Kiara Thomas

The people were super nice, the food was great, they have a wide variety of sauces, and the free ice cream was like the icing on top of the cake. 5 out of 5 Stars great job!

Carolyn Merritt

Great food and service!

yangxoung

Good food and fast service

trisha bennett

Excellent food Everytime. I bought country boy and chose chicken requested spicy sauce and two sides with a drink for just under $14. The best BBQ I've ever had. Service was also excellent.

Leisha Sparks

The best bbq around

Ronald Deer

The chicken fryed steak is magnificent !!!

Eade Frazier

I love there food and would them to anyone

Rick7049 Widmark

Great service, fast seating and food delivery!!! I would walk barefoot on broken glass to get back here to eat again

Richard Ford

Horrible unfortunately. $15 a sandwich and they couldn't be bothered to lid the drink properly so it spilled all over my van. The drive thru worker also couldn't be bothered to come back to the window to give silverware and BBQ sauce. Just isn't worth it and it's unfortunate for a first time visit anywhere to be that horrible.

Andrew Benavidez

Best BBQ in ALL of the town. Only downside is I wished they would sell their awesome turkey legs. But still 5 starts.

Jamie Billen

Food is always delicious and filling. Wait staff is phenomenal!

Garry Krueger

Great barbecue & seasoning rub on the ribs@

justin mustain

Love the Oklahoma platter! And the salad bar is really nice plus they have 4 kinds of bbq...might as well try them all

Brian Anderson

Big portions, ribs were nice size and tasty, onion straws were super good and the roll toped it all off

Keven Waugh

Great service awesome food

Scotty Kindrick

Great Oklahoma BBQ. Fast service and worth the price. Turkey is very tasty as is the BBQ beans.

Hao Jiang

Very fast for take out orders and staff were nice!

Van Washington

Good flavor and tender ,I will be back

Chance Riley

Jc Reiss

Excellent meal and wonderful staff!!!

Lisa Williams

FREAKING YUMMY......Thanks Babe..!

deedee

A bit pricey but food was pretty good.

Stan Keef

Great service great food highly recommend this swadleys

Tania Valencia

I have to Pace myself.. it's easy to fall in love with the service, the food, free ice cream when you done in.. aww my mouth waters just thinking about the ribs... Now. We can't eat any other restaurants ribs.. nope swaddles wins hand down.. and to go... Amazing prices...

Jade Keahbone

A roach crawled across our table and the waitress smashed it with our receipt and quickly told us "it's not a roach, it's a bug like a termite that lives in wood"...um, no. Then she didn't even wipe the table down after smashing the bug on it!! The "one trip to the salad bar" option for $4.99 is a joke. They give you a tiny bowl and the salad bar doesn't have a good variety. Also, the hot links are definitely packaged and not made fresh and the hot BBQ sauce is just watered down BBQ sauce covered in red pepper flakes. Absolutely horrible.

Jeff & Mary Selbe

First time there...great food, great atmosphere and great service!

Kelly Holt

They have awesome pulled pork sandwiches, my fave & the onion fries or whatever they're called. Lol

Gideon Keith-Stanley

Excellent local BBQ chain. Easily the best I've tried. You can usually find gift cards for this place at Sam's club for a bit less than their face value, and save a few bucks. Mrs really likes the pickle bar as well, and the onion straws are not to be missed.

Truth Be told

Really good food

Randy Pepper

Awesome food! With 4 kids we got the family pack and had plenty of leftovers. Great good and value

Emily Walker Mitchell

Love Swadley's...every one of them. Always good food, friendly, and fast.

Jeffrey Martire

One of the best barbecue places I've ever been at love the food prices are reasonable also

Asia Burk

Ok for the price. The baked beans where way too sweet!

Wayne Martin

Will try sandwich next time instead of dinner Food OK nothing special. Sliced brisket kinda tough. Wife liked hers. Portions small for high price.

Sexiphatgirl Phatgirlworld

Always fresh. Always good.

Ace Templar

Great food.

J. L. Davis

Hey I want thank you for the great service. You're staff person was so friendly and very courteous. Cheerful. And the food was great. Everytime I get something from there it's a wonderful meal.

Connie Peterson

Our waitress Kanian was wonderful. The food is delicious!

Will Turtle

Pricey, but, good

Neal Hettinger

the food is good as you would expect for barbecue in Oklahoma. The service was exceptional. They did not rush it did not interrupt our conversations yet were attentive. the food was delivered quickly and at a perfect temperature. It was nit over or under cooked. the only area for improvement would be the barbecue sauces selections. they were very average.

Mighty Mo

Got the Oklahoma Sampler... omg enough food for 3 meals! Enjoyed it very much. Your rolls were surprisingly good. Waiter and staff were very nice. I enjoyed my first visit very much. Thank you!

Ted Stevens

A Oklahoma staple... damn good smoked meat. Never a bad meal

Talia Prideaux

Fantasic service and wonderful food! We love this place and hope one comes to the Tulsa area!

Jason

Great BBQ and friendly staff.

Amy Deatherage

AMAZING FOOD! And the service is bar none the greatest service you can get anywhere. I can't wait to go back and then back again!
