Billy Sims Barbecue

Love the remodel… much bigger and open. The BBQ is as good as it gets. Love the Heisman sandwich and baked beans. Nice touch show casing the smoker for all to see. If you want something more like dinner portion then I recommend the full rack of ribs… they are the most tender fall off the bone ribs. Highly recommend this BBQ joint.

I have no idea who Billy Sims is other than that he must have played at OU. Since I’m not from the area nor did I go to OU, the importance of who Billy Sims is or was has not affect on me. However, growing up in a BBQ obsessed family, whether or not Mr. Sim’s offer’s quality ‘que is of great importance.
I enjoy the fact that this location is close by and the meats are quite tasty. Sauce is nothing special. Every time I go though, I feel like that I’m bothering the individual taking my order. Also, I don’t know if the meats are smoked in house, because while the meats are sliced and weighed per order, they are just sitting in a warming oven wrapped in plastic.
I’ve gotten both the dinners and sandwiches, with the Heisman sandwich (pulled brisket or pork, bologna and hot link) being my preferred order. Standard BBQ side offerings include baked beans, potato salad, cole slaw, corn, green beans. All acceptable but nothing that really stands out.
While prices are reasonably for the quality and quantity of food, this last visit I asked for an additional side of one rib, which prices at a little under $ 3 is tantamount to highway robbery. Which is shame because the the ribs are fall of the bone good, but not $ 3 a rib good. Although, I’d be interested in the all you can eat ribs on Tuesday evenings.
Still, a decent local place to get a BBQ fix.

I’m copying this over from my review for the previous location, which I had rated 2 stars. It was around the corner inside the Farm.

As promised, I am updating this based on my recent visits. I’ve actually been visiting them regularly since they moved to a larger location just around the corner inside the Farm, now visible from Sheridan, and they have vastly improved.
This place is now the gold standard of all Billy Sims I have visited. The staff are friendly, very helpful, and we always enjoy the atmosphere with them. The food is always very good. 4 stars because it doesn’t feel like a 5-​star joint for me, not because anything is wrong.
