Smokey's / King's BBQ

[BBatesokc]

I wonder if it's the same people that have the King's Catering and Cuisine that went in where Oklahoma Ribber used to be on South May?

I checked their website and see they had closed down their restaurant to focus on catering but that they are reopening the restaurant again soon. Did not say anything about a change of location though.

I'm FB friend's with one of the owners. King's is re-opening in their same/original location on the south-side (SW 44 and May) and promoting BBQ and Catfish.

I patronized the place a few times before they closed the restaurant to concentrate on their catering gigs - everything I had was tasty. Would have eaten there more often, but it's out of my way.

So, i will definitely pop in to try their new menu. But, to answer your question - no, they are not opening a north-side location right now.

Turns out they did open at this location (NW 24th/Portland), saw it while driving down Portland this weekend, might have to try it out soon.

Pete/Martin - might want to change the name of the thread to "King's BBQ" or move the King's-specific posts to their own thread?

I've been in there a few times. I don't like it as much as I liked Smokey's, but it's good.

Went last Sat, it was OK. Had the rib and pulled pork dinner with fried okra and spicy coleslaw. Ribs were small and 2 of them, pulled pork wasn't really pulled texture-wise, had big cubes of it along with kinda-pulled pork. Okra was decent, spicy coleslaw was exactly that and no more - standard coleslaw that was spicy. Wife had brisket and pulled pork, brisket was the best meat of all 3. Price was too high for what we got and the quality of it, probably won't be back, sticking with Jack's for the time being...

Nope. Not the same people. They opened after my friend's location and basically just stole their name.

We drove past today at lunch and it reminded me to send a text to the owner and inquire. It's not the same people that own King's on the south side and Brielle's Bistro in Spencer.

That would explain why the quality of food we had didn't seem to match what was being said about the original King's, thanks for the info.

I agree, the food quality at the 23rd and Portland location is far superior!
