One of Kansas City’s best-known barbecue restaurants, Smokehouse Bar-B-Que, is planning to open a Tulsa location this month.
The restaurant will be located at 7020 S. Memorial Drive in space that formerly held FireRock Grill & Bar.
The opening-day target date is Sept. 24.
“Many things could happen to change that, but Sept. 24 is what we’re shooting for,” said general manager Enrique Arras-Ortiz. “I know a lot of people are excited about it and anxious to see us get open.”
Family owned Smokehouse Bar-B-Que opened 25 years ago in Gladstone, Mo. The Tulsa restaurant will be its fifth store and its first outside the Kansas City area.
While virtually all Tulsa-area barbecue places offer only pork ribs, Smokehouse Bar-B-Que has both pork and Angus beef ribs cooked in a variety of styles -– spare ribs, short end, long end, baby back, short ribs, back ribs and burnt ends.
Smokehouse Bar-B-Que also offers a line of chicken dishes, steaks, pork chops, catfish, pulled pork, sandwiches, salads and seafood.
Among its popular side items are cheesy corn, creamy coleslaw, hickory pit beans and sweet potato fries.
