I'm a sucker for really good, authentic barbecue, which on the West Coast can be hard to find. So when I ventured east to OKC, I had to get out and find some. And BOY...did I strike gold!
King's might not look like much from the outside, but don't be fooled. The Yelp! reviews say it all. This place is a gem. From the moment I glanced over the menu and started chatting up the lady taking our order, I knew this would be good. I ordered the three meat dinner, which included your choice of meats, two sides, and Texas toast for a mere $20. I went with sliced brisket, burnt ends, ribs, french fries, and the baked beans. And I was NOT disappointed!
The burnt ends were absolutely delicious, and fork tender. The brisket was "zero tug" pull-apart, and again, simply perfect. And the ribs...I thought I knew how to do ribs at home...these were next level, fell clean off the bone without being mushy, and were smoky and seasoned perfectly. The texas toast was texas toast, and the fries were fries, but seasoned wonderfully. The BEANS, though, were definitely not your normal baked beans. These were definitely a step above, 100% not from a can, and 200% made from an old family recipe from scratch. Guaranteed.
Our service was excellent, the place was clean and comfortable, and the best part of all...there was enough left over between myself and my girlfriend to have a full dinner tomorrow! How could you possibly go wrong?
The last thing I'll say is I'm glad (in a way) I don't live locally. I'd never eat anywhere else, and you'd have to take me in and out of King's on a forklift!
