BurnCo. BBQ, a popular barbecue lunch spot near the University of Tulsa, is moving to a larger space at 18th Street and Boston Avenue.
The new space, located at 1738 S. Boston Ave., most recently held Treehouse BBQ and has been home for a number of different restaurants and clubs over the years.
“We’re going to knock out that back wall so the kitchen will be open to the dining room,” said Myers, co-owner of BurnCo. with his cousin, Robby Corcoran. “When people walk in they will see people cooking on a whole row of Hasty-Bake grills.
“We are going to have eight Hasty-Bakes under one vent hood and three under another. Eventually, we might wind up with 11 or 12.”
Myers said the new spot will be lunch only, but he will be able to offer more variety than he has at his current location.
“We can do steaks, chops, seafood, chicken breasts, asparagus, stuffed mushrooms, just a lot of things,” he said. “We probably will stay open to 3 or 4 for late lunches.”
Myers said a full bar is planned for the new location, but it might start off with low-point beer.
“We’ll have to see how that goes with the licenses and all,” he said.
Myers and Corcoran opened their current spot at 3208 E. 11th St. in early 2011. Myers said it will continue to operate there until the new location is ready.
“We probably will close the old place on a Friday and open at the new one on Monday,” said Myers, who spent 12 years with Hasty-Bake before going into the restaurant business. “We’re hoping for mid to late October.”
