This is by far my favorite BBQ place in OKC! It has a fun down home atmosphere, the staff is always friendly, and the food is amazing! My family's favorites are the ribs, brisket, jalapeno cheddar sausage, and the smoked bologna. Pork rinds are fried fresh to order and the fried pickle okra makes my tummy happy!!! The 'Grandaddy' platter has a little bit of everything if you are looking to try everything...oh and it feeds a family of three easily!

I had the 3 rib dinner w/baked beans and sweet potato waffle fries, my wife had the bologna w/pork skins and sausage. This is the best BBQ in OKC! My ribs were a generous portion and the meat was very tender and had that great BBQ flavor. They have 6 flavors of their own BBQ sauce in which to choose. Great atmosphere, no waiting, and fast friendly service with a smile.

A doctor I work with ordered from here and had it delivered postmates. I got the PB & J sandwich and it was AMAZING! The bottom bun was a bit soggy but that's to be expected. Everything about it was good. Great mix of flavors and the brioche bun was delicious. I had the fried onions and jalapenos as my side and those were fantastic as well! Definately going back here with my husband sometime! You definately only need to buy one sandwhich or meal if you have two people, their portions are huge and its super filling. Their sweet tea is okay and their lemonade is good but a little too sweet

I absolutely love this place, the menu isn't large but everything on it is tasty. My favorite is their PB&J sandwich! Pork, Beef, & Jalapeno sausage with a little coleslaw on top. They also have a nice variety of their own BBQ sauce flavors, my favorite is the Espresso. If you have a chance I recommend giving it a try.

Delicious BBQ! Smelled amazing from the moment I opened the door! Lots of options for entrees and sides. Came 40min before closing and the food still tasted fresh and tender! Parking is as good as it is in the area lol. Got a few spots in the street then a parking lot near. Staff was very friendly! Place was very homey!

Back Door BBQ is hidden among the 23rd street store fronts. It has a cool atmosphere and the staff is friendly. My latest visit I ordered the special with burnt ends and black-peppered beef sausage. The burnt ends were large and delicious. House made sides are great and I enjoy trying different ones each time. Don’t worry about parking because as the name implies use the back door that connects to the parking lot in back.
