Best Ribs in area. Consistant quality food and I]ve regularly been a fan since 1972. Do not let the location or decor throw you off stoping in for a Rib Sandwitch.

This establishment's food is not good !!! Some of the bbq is tough, it lacks the tenderness that bbq should have. Service was ok!

Every decent town south of the Mason-Dixon Line has a no frills BBQ joint that all the locals brag about. John and Cook’s is that place for Lawton. As one would expect, it is nestled in the industrial, blue collar part of town, the sweet tea flows like a river, and expect to see all types of “sometimes loud but... More

On my recent visit to Lawton, I did a large takeout order for a family dinner. Everything was great! Ordered pulled pork, the chopped beef, cole slaw, potato salad, baked beans and a sweet potato pie. If you love BBQ - you must eat here. Can't wait till my next visit to Lawton!

I was in Lawton on business and was taken there by a local, it was fabulous , ribs and beef brisket were excellent, I highly recommend. It is the small hole-in-the-wall place you would expect the food to be good and it is. Dine in or take-out it is worth the trip. I tried several recommended by locals while I... More
