The Meating Place - Norman

The Meating Place’s creative take on barbecue is unparalleled. They use quality ingredients and take thoughtful care to every dish they create. They have friendly service and they have taken excellent care of our family each time we have gone. Excellent food love the pulled pork, chopped brisket (wet), and turkey. Great sides especially the slaw and potato salad. And some unique sandwiches/appetizers as well. Have been several times and have enjoyed the food and atmosphere.

First time eating at The Meating Place and it was fantastic! Pulled pork and brisket were both moist and tender. The nachos, fries and baked beans only added to the amazing meal. If you haven't been to TMP yet, you should go today! Enjoy!

Been wanting to try this place for awhile and so glad we did tonight! Kylie took care of us and was amazing, making some great recommendations. Prices are affordable for BBQ, compared to some other Norman spots. Ribs were tender and great smoke flavor. Turkey was delicious and not dry. Brisket wasn't my favorite, but next time I'd ask for a leaner cut. Had the spicy Mac and cheese and Brussel sprouts as sides and they were some of the best I've had out! I would come back just for the Brussel sprouts. Sauce was of the vinegar variety, so not my cup of tea. Will be back, would like to try some other menu items.

Been going to the Meating Place for several years and it is my favorite place for barbeque in Norman. The decor is rustic and inviting. Staff have always been friendly and efficient. Their wet sliced brisket is really good as is their fried pickles, baked potato salad and fries. The pulled pork sandwich is also very good.

We love the Meating Place. I've been here several times and have never been disappointed. The meat is always juicy and delicious. Their bbq sauces are great. House is my favorite and the spicy is my partner's favorite. I think he would buy bottles of it if that was an option. When Pigs Fry is usually my go-to dish because it's been my fav since their days as just a food truck. The service is always great. The staff is so friendly. I also enjoy the minimalist design of the space. Nothing too flashy. I would, however, love if they changed their bar/high-top table stools. If you're a plus-sized person like myself, they are so uncomfortable to sit in--even for a short period.
