Steve's Rib

7202 W. Hefner Rd.

Barbecue in Oklahoma is like Mexican food in El Paso--there are plenty of places that serve it and everyone is going to have their own opinion about what is best. Unlike many other places in the country, at least customers in the Sooner state have an expectation that barbecue restaurants know what they are doing, and can prepare the meat correctly.

Steve's Rib is a sit-down restaurant (this alone sets it apart from the many barbecue stands that serve only take-out). Several dinners and lunch plates are served, each featuring a different type of meat, and some with a combination of more than one meat. Family packs are available, and the restaurant has a catering menu (with prices charged according to the number of dinners served and the number of meats ordered).

I got the idea that ribs were the specialty of the restaurant, although this may not necessarily be the case. Brisket, pulled pork, turkey breast, sausage, and chicken are all available.

I ordered the Beef Ribs at a time when I thought I would have a big enough appetite to eat it. Meat is served by the pound, and the rib dinner turned out to be very substantial with two sides and Texas toast. I liked everything that was served, including the sides. Of course I would not expect to dislike anything served by a restaurant with the stature of Steve's Rib (I would say this is one of the more popular barbecue restaurants in OKC).

The ribs had a smoky flavor, and the sauce was good. From the few places I have ordered ribs, though, they seemed to be more tender at State Line in El Paso (owned by the same company that operates County Line in OKC). Still, though, I think Steve's Rib is worth a try, and there are other meats from which to choose.
