Oklahoma BBQ on highway 99 in Eugene

This past week I dropped in to the Oklahoma smokehouse BBQ for lunch. As you can see from the menu that have a pretty good selection of BBQ to choose from. I decided to go for the pulled pork sandwich along with a side of beans. They include some really good gritty corn bread, the kind that has some substance to it! The pork was tasty and the beans have a distinct flavor, kinda sweet with some underlying spice to them.

This is a roadside stand that was custom built for the owners back in Lawrence Indiana. I caught Joe splitting wood and loading up the fire pit when I came by. He was cooking on this large custom built rotisserie pit with hardwood. Oak this day, but they'll use fruit tree wood when they can get it.

Joe tells me his brother Aron and him opened up this stand two years ago. Aron learned to BBQ back in Norman Oklahoma where he went to school to learn meteorology. He did BBQ and sold it on the street to football fans heading to the game and was mentored by a local and got direct feedback from the fans on the quality of what he was doing.

They typically cook a beef brisket for 13 to 20 hours, chicken for 4 or 5, and pulled pork for 10 to 12 hours. Joe tells me the pulled pork sandwich is the specialty. My friend Vern told me he tried the Alabama white sauce and liked it.

You can get their gameday tailgater for $65, including a rack of ribs, 1 lb of beef brisket, 1 lb. of pulled pork, 4 large sides, and 9 pieces of corn bread. Sounds Gooood! Open Monday through Saturday 11:00 to 7:00 at 1055 Hwy 99 N (2 miles south of the beltline). 541-912-9674. Give it a try!
