Oklahoma land run. Having recently expanded from its original location at N.W. 50th & Meridian with a
new restaurant on Northwest Expressway in front of Sam's Warehouse, Oklahoma Station must be doing
something right judging from the long lines at both restaurants.
Oklahoma Station keeps it simple with a few types of meat available. The Sliced Beef Brisket is cooked for several hours in a smoker using hickory wood, giving it the smoked flavor for which Oklahoma barbecue is famous. My sandwich had excellent quality meat, excellent flavor, and excellent sauce. I really do not think they could do it much better in any of the backwoods barbecue places in eastern Oklahoma that I sampled in my younger days.
The mild and hot sauce were both worthy of high quality meat here. Not surprisingly, I preferred the hot sauce.
I have discovered that high quality iced tea is an integral part to the full enjoyment of a barbecue meal, and the fresh brewed tea here is among the best.
It is quite difficult to practice any form of vegetarianism in Oklahoma, as any abstinence from meat deprives a person of some the best meals served in the state, among which the barbecue at Oklahoma Station would be included.
