Runts Bar-B-Q & Grill

This is a great local place, the pickles and onion appetizer is very large, even for the half order, and excellent with the homemade touch, great price too. The ribs and catfish are very good, but I thought the hush puppies were a little dry.

This is some tasty BBQ. Had the ribs and catfish with okra and coleslaw to go. Great price for size and quality $ 14. I got the sweet BBQ sauce for the ribs but no need, but it’s good on the okra. The fish is tasty but the ribs are where it’s at. This could be split into 2 meals for normal humans with 2 ribs, 2 decent size catfish, 1.5 cups of okra, 6 oz slaw and Texas toast.
Parking lot is small but had plenty of seating available.

Cutting through to Tulsa and stopped in for lunch. It certainly didn’t disappoint! The ribs were amazing, perfectly smoked and fall off the bone. The service was sweet and fast. The onion rings were crispy and fresh. I’ll stop again if ever passing through.

Passing through and found this delicious place. Looked liked it was busy with locals!

We stopped here for dinner, based upon all the positive Unilocal reviews. Wowzie-​Wow! What a great meal! I ordered a combo or catfish & ribs, green beans & cole slaw. Every item was delicious & flavorful. Green beans were seasoned & cooked down like our grandmothers fixed them. The cole slaw was slightly sweet with the nice addition of minced fresh apple. It’s a family recipe we were told. The meat fell in tender chunks from the rib bones & the catfish was light, crisp & perfectly seasoned! Others in our group ordered Bbq chicken & chopped brisket, fried okra & potato salad, which exceeded everyones’ expectations. The potato salad had a ‘smashed potato’ texture which was simply fantastic.
This is definitely a not-​to-​miss local restaurant. We really enjoyed being served & visiting with some of the owners’ family members. A delightful evening & we’ll definitely be back! As we were leaving a pair of loyal customers suggested we try the prime rib on our next visit. We were told all the homemade desserts were really great too. Sadly, most had been sold out today due to many attendees of the Azalea Festival stopping in. We were «stuffed» anyway. Another time, tho! Thanks to all the employees of Runt’s for a GREAT meal!!!

I was visiting from Iowa with my boyfriend and we loved it! Very good food! Had the chopped brisket and it had great flavor and was juicy. Fried pickles were great too!

Had a wonderful meal last night. Started with onion rings a fried pickles– as recommended by our server. They were a hit. Meal was burnt ends for me, fried catfish for another and brisket salad for my wife. Three different meals, all excellent. Would stop in here again in a heartbeat next time through town. Keep up the good work.

I was driving through from Fort Worth Texas heading to St. Louis and was hungry and decided why not. I order the three meat plate with catfish, chopped brisket, and ribs, a side baked beans, and a baked potatoes. I had no clue about the place so I was just going to try everything incase I didn’t like something. Everything was to say the least amazing. The only reason I am not giving it five starts because that would make it legendary but for Muskogee Oklahoma it has to be the best or I need to pack up and move here. The hostess and the waitress were great as well. I should of went in the kitchen and kissed the cook but I am a dude so this wouldn’t go to well lol.

First time visit — pork lunch was outstanding. Parking lot was still full at 12:45 but the wait to be seated was short. We’ll def be back on our next trip to the area.

My husband and I drove from Talala to see the Christmas Lights. We had planned to eat at another BBQ place. So glad we stopped here instead. The service is fast and friendly. The ribs and catfish are delicious. He had catfish, hot links and sliced brisket, he gives it 5 stars. The mild sauce has a great smokey flavor. From other reviews, we had to try the onion rings and fried pickles, the batter does make the difference! Thank you Runts for a great meal!!!

Just another BBQ place in a BBQ saturated market of Muskogee. Fried pickles are good, like we make at home. Sauce is eh, nothing special.

In town on business, was recommended by a local. Food is great! Fried pickles were lightly battered and very tasty, pulled pork done just right. Brisket was perfect! Would most definitely stop here again when in town!

Excellent food and great service. Very friendly staff. Had delicious catfish, link sausage and beans. Will return next time I’m in town.

Love this little place! I’m from Memphis so I’m very tough on people’s BBQ and theirs is delicious. They had to types of sauces. Sweet and what seemed like a vinegar based sauce. Really excited to have found this place! Great menu. My fiancé had the catfish and loved it.

It starts as soon as you walk through the door — pleasant, friendly, attentive service! We had prime rib and sliced brisket — superb! Sides were fries, black eye peas, fried okra and beans — again superb.
Despite my protests my wife ordered the banana pudding — OMG! a fresh banana delight.
well done guys — a great meal

I had one of THE BEST fried catfish! Was not greasy but deliciously crispy on the outside and fluffy juicy on the inside with homemade tartar sauce!
Grab the onion rings and fried pickle too!!! Delish!

We samples the all-​you-​can-​eat fried catfish, ribs, burnt ends, baked beans, and brisket, as we like to share and taste everything as a family. It was all delicious!
Our service was good. My husband is really picky about his tartar sauce, and he said it was the best he has ever eaten. He said it was good enough for them to bottle and sell. It is made in-​house, according to the waitress, as are the sides. The BBQ sauce wasn’t exactly to my taste (I like sweet & hot), but they only have 2 to choose from.
There were lots of couples having dinner and several large multi-​generational tables. Nice for a Sat. night.

The staff is friendly, if slow. Prices are a bit high, but there is a good amount of food. It’s so-​so bbq, and not my first choice for an eatery in Muskogee, but you could do worse. A lot of my friends like it, so I may be spoiled on other eateries.

Wish I could give 4.5 stars — only complaint was I couldn’t have a beer with my DELICIOUS burnt ends sandwich. SO good. Food gets 5 stars for sure. The young lady asked me if I wanted something sweet for dessert, and I said
«no. I want more brisket»
and so I did. Beef BBQ for dinner. Beef BBQ for dessert.
I almost died.

This was a pleasant suprise find on our little OKC to FT Smith roadtrip. I had the AYCE ribs for $ 12! Bring it on!! a The ribs were so tender that the meat fell of the bone and the flavor was incredible. The side choices were pretty standard but the corn was awesome, super sweet and all you can eat on sides as well. They have three types sauce; hot, mild, and sweet. The hot is not real spicey but it had a decent kick and good flavor.
My girl ordered the Sloppy Hog which was a giant pulled pork sandwich with coleslaw. This thing could easily feed 2 people. We realized later they offered a mini size which is the size of a normal burger.
We were too stuffed for dessert but the cobbler looked very tasty. Cant wait to go back!
