Van's pig stand was delicious!! I'm here on a postal trip and was told by several natives that this was the place to come for some great BBQ.. I had ribs, bake beans and curly fries that were to die for!! The staff was friendly and the customer service was excellent. I recommend anyone coming to Oklahoma city to stop by Van's Pig Stand.�
OMG the ribs and Chicken are the best, Hands down the best BBQ I have had in a very long time! and the Staff was Aces very helpful and attentive! When ever I'm in the Norman area Van's will definitely be on my list of places stop when I get there! Heck I might even make a few trips from Altus over just to eat there!!!
Simply put one of my favorite places. Everything is good pretty much. I frequently get their special items, a couple months back the chopped brisket cheeseburger was a family favorite, this past month their jalapeno sausage was a must. For me the Norman location is better than the rest!
I've eaten at Vans many times while on business trips to Norman, Oklahoma. The service and food has always been excellent.
Food were great and the over all customer service is over the top. The green tea is delicious.<3
Always consistant. Excellent! Why would you ever eat fast food. These guys do it right. No frills just good eatin.
Best BBQ, atmosphere and wait staff. Have not had one bad thing. I would highly recommend you try it.
Had a family weekend with my OU son, we are from central Texas, wanted to try some Oklahoma BBQ, and this is the place to get some very good BBQ. My family really enjoyed the ribs, brisket, turkey, buttery toast, and all our sides. Service was great,good job Vans Pig Stand!
Please let me start by admitting that I am a BBQ snob. I have grown up eating Van's and I am used to it. It used to be my favorite, but through years or trying a lot of great smoked meats, I can land on saying that I really like it. Their ribs are tasty, their chopped beef and pork are pretty good, and their smoked poultry is pretty dang tasty. I would definitely recommend. If you can handle the heat, their really spicy sauce has great flavor for a sauce with a lot of kick.
Decent food good service. I stopped in with a few folks after church saturday night. we all got eh feb. special, which was a bbq sandwich, a few onion rings and choice of drink for 5.99 for the money was a decent deal. the waitress came by a lot, refilled drinks etc. i'll agree it could use a facelift was was okay for the money
Yum. The Smokestack is awesone and huge. They have the best bbq sauce. They also have great cheeseburgers. Not a fan of the ribs but love everything else. My son loves their ribs, though.
Local Barbeque, Could Use 'facelift'. Barbeque is not meant to be 'classy'--this place has delightfully greasy, sauce-sloppy, juicy sandwiches! I wish the kitchen staff would consistently wear gloves. Generally speaking, they move quickly for your order. I like the brisket and baked potato.
Burgers are better than average. Fries are lame and limp. Onions on burger were no good, but the had a great taste.
Best fried okra in town. Love the sauce!
As Good As it Gets in Norman. Much better than anything within striking distance! Great menu, the meats are excellent. I love the smoked turkey. The sauces, sides and desserts are all tasty. I don't really care for the atmosphere or constant "din" inside but I usually get to go! Delicious all the way around.
Smoke Stack sandwich was really incredible. Great fries and fried pickles. The ribs are pretty much their own food group. Van's is doing BBQ the way it should be done.
I grew up in Shawnee, home of the original Van's. Growing up I hated going and hated BBQ. My have times changed! I love this place! I eat here usually about once a week. I love the sliced brisket, the green beans, and their curly fries are the best fries ever! I normally hate fries but I love theirs. They always remember me and I love that! The manager even hooked me up one day because I was having a horrible day and for that I am grateful. Anyone that has a problem with this place was obviously in a bad mood already and nothing would have made them happy.
Great atmosphere!:). The Vans in Norman has an awesome atmosphere as well as food and service! I love Vans Pig Stand during Football Game Days! Definately one of my favorite eateries in Norman!:)
Yumm!. I had the smoked turkey and double baked potato too. They are very good! I recommend it too.
One of the Best. I've been to all three Van's in the OKC area. My favorite is the one in Norman. I believe it's an old converted mechanic's shop / gas station. The smoked turkey and double baked potato are excellent. I'd recommend it to anyone.
Pretty good BBQ overall, maybe not the best. This is definitely one of the better BBQ places in Norman. My kid raves over Vans curly fries, they have a convenient drive-thru, and the restaurant is dark and rustic like you would expect at a classic BBQ place. As far as downsides.... Rudy's seems to have a slightly better brisket. The food from the Vans in Moore seems to taste better compared to the one in Norman, for some reason. And Vans smoked turkey usually seems oversmoked. Other than that, we like the BBQ.
Good BBQ if you want real smoked flavor with a great tasting rubb this is the place for you! Tender, juicy and full of flavor!
The Best of the Best!!!!!!!!!. WOW!!! I just took a trip of the south, eating BBQ in 12 different states and nobody does it like Van's. I live in the Northwest and have my favorites up here, and have travel through most of the USA. I was shocked at how good the food was at Van's. The ribs were moist and tender and the sauces were fantastic. The only regret I have is that I don't live close enough to go there anytime I want. I guess it's a good thing as well, since I would eat more than I should. The coconut cream pie was fantastic as well. I should have placed a large order to go after eating there!
The BEST ribs!. We have traveled from OKC to South Carolina and will always come back to this old favorite. Wonderful ribs. Not a fan of the pig sandwich but I do love the green beans and curly fries to go with my ribs!
This is the best bbq I've had in a long time! So awesome!
Van's is good, but Ray's has trumped it as the place to go for bbq in norman.
the lunch specials at Van's are a good buy for the money, but the food just doesn't compare to Ray's.
Good BBQ. This where we go most of the time when we have a taste for BBQ. Their pecan pie is really delicious.
AmAzInG!. If you are looking for FAST, hot and sweet BBQ, get in the car and drive to Van's. The bbq sauce is to die for and the curly fries are crispy; a must have!!! Try their fried pickle spears with homemade ranch. YUM!
Excellent. We are in Norman quite a bit and that usually calls for a stop at Vans. Never had a bad meal or a bad experience there.
Mmmmmm BBQ. Nom nom nom nom nom. Not as good as Lindies but what is? Easily the best BBQ in Norman.
Great BBQ!. I havent had anything i dont like at Vans. Everything from the pulled pork to ribs to brisket are excellent. The relish on the pulled pork sandwiches are great and the hot bbq sauce has a good, spicy kick. Excellent. Period.
My FAV. This local favorite for over 40 years holds a special place in my heart!!
PIG HEAVEN!!! Meat falls off the bone ribs, and a vinegar based BBQ sauce! I didn't know that was legal west of Memphis. OMG yum!
I love this little place, the staff is very friendly and the service is great. I've been here many times for lunch and every trip has been great. A lunch combo comes with a sandwich, curly fries and a drink and all for around $8 or less. The meats are always moist and packed with flavor and the fries are always hot and tasty. Highly recommend!!! Tried the ribs and the beans for the first time today; they were both very good. Update…still great! I was in town briefly today with the family, we all loved it! Glad to see the place is doing well after dealing with the pandemic!
Place is clean and nicely maintained. A new addition is now complete and looks very nice. Food is always super good and the service is excellent. The price was just a bit higher than I thought it should be but overall I enjoyed the food here.
Incredible!! Visited here for lunch on a weekend trip. Staff was super thoughtful and friendly, taking care of us swiftly at every opportunity. The food was amazing- it’s rich and juicy, but not overwhelming. I got the #1 burger- perfectly seasoned, fresh vegetables, and amazing shoestring fries to boot. Next time I find myself in Oklahoma, I’ll be sure to swing by again! Stellar experience. :)
I had the Jr Rib dinner with potato salad and green beans. The ribs are moist and taste great. It was all good.
Best bbq I have had in all of Oklahoma. Had the 3 meat combo. I enjoyed everything. The customer service is great. The employee Mary was so kind and helpful. Everyone in our group loved it. Please open a location in Tulsa!!! Will definitely be back
The smell that greeted us upon driving up was amazing. It was our first time ordering and our cashier was so kind and patient. Our food was ready in record time and absolutely delicious. I highly recommend and will be an extremely satisfied returning customer.
