My favorite BBQ restaurant is open again! Sadly, they closed at the height of the COVID pandemic. I was afraid I would never get to eat their incredible food again. I was so happy when I learned they were open in a new location a little further down Peoria. They actually opened back in January but somehow I didn't know it until now.Same friendly folks and fortunately, the same amazing food! This is THE barbeque place that I judge all others against. The owner, Keith, said, "Good barbeque makes you happy." Well, I was very happy today! The ribs are my favorite menu item but, over the years, I have had most everything on the menu and it's all good. Pulled pork, beef, chicken, sausage, hot links, you name it, it's good. It's so good that there is no need to use sauce but their sauces are awesome and must be sampled. They have a spice I can't identify that gives them that signature Elmer's taste.The new place is nice. The blues is still playing and the B B King Epiphone is still proudly displayed. It's in a popular trendy area a couple of blocks south of 31st St. The only drawback is parking. The area was really crowded and parking was in short supply. Don't worry about that though, the Q is worth hunting for a place to park.Go to Elmer's!Eat great Barbeque!Be happy that you're helping a local business!
I visited today the man was friendly and helpful, but the food was HORRIBLE!! The short ribs was very hard had no flavor. The chopped beef was mostly fat meat also with no flavor. Potato salad was bland. I should've keep driving to OKLAHOMA STYLE BAR B QUE like my first mind. Where i would've gotten BIGGER PORTIONS TOO...very dissatisfied. No flavor at all.
Absolutely loved the atmosphere! The owner, Keith, is 100% hands on. Not only is he the pitmaster, he took our order and checked in on us during the meal. The food was delicious! Homemade sauces and sides really sealed the deal. We will be back!We always try to find non chain places to eat and this is one small business that the Tulsa community is lucky to have.
The lunch special was quick and tasty. I loved the pulled pork and tried it with all three sauces. I'll definitely be back.
We drove almost 300 miles just to eat at Elmer's. It never disappoints. When meat was cooker to perfection, the sauces is out of this world. I could drink it. Best BBQ in the country. We have eaten at several of the best BBQ restaurants in the country. Nobody can beat Elmer's.
Best BBQ in Tulsa, all the staff are super friendly and accommodating. My family loves it here. Do yourself a favor and come try it.
First, any good bbq place should have fresh brewed tea. Not out of a machine or bottle. If you get it, it’s just a little bottle which, of course, you have to pay for another bottle if you want “refills”. Same with the cokes. Very very sloooooowwwww, even though it wasn’t crowded. Not sure what they were doing behind that counter, because obviously, the food was ready back there. Ordered the badwich with Texas toast. What a mistake. There is nothing worse than a piece (one piece) of Texas toast that is sitting on top of the counter in a metal dish with a piece of foil over it! You could tell it had been sitting there a long time just by the taste of it, not to mention it was completely cold and completely soggy. I mean completely! One of the customers complained while we were in there and they made them a fresh piece. Why wouldn’t they just do that for every customer? All the food was room temperature. Sorry, but we won’t be back. Next time we will drive a little further to Knotty Pig, where we have never had a bad experience.
Elmer's is back with a vengeance!! Same great flavor and customer service we all enjoyed before! Don't wait hestitate or be late, get yourself down to Elmer's!
Someone who stated that Elmer's is closed, that someone lied, is very uninformed and just completely ignorant. Stop hating on the Black Owned Business, we all know that is the only reason for that false, misleading information!
Really happy to see Elmer's back in business! They are a long time staple of Tulsa BBQ. The pulled pork is excellent, but you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Old school smoked meat at its finest.
