Went to Van's pig stand in norman tonight. Good ribs, good hot links but the brisket was the best. Great atmosphere will be going back soon.

Haven't been to the one in Norman.

The one in Moore (on 4th Street) is decent. Their ribs can be a little hit or miss.

I've only eaten at the one in Shawnee once but the ribs that night were really good for restaurant Q. Wished I had ordered a whole slab that night. Very Happy

Have you eaten at Legends BBQ in Norman? I ate there a few years ago and it was decent BBQ.... Seems like I remember it being a little expensive but the ribs and turkey were decent.

Ate at the one in Norman for the first time last night. The ribs were oversmoked and a little on the dry side. The hotlink was really good but like I always say.... it's hard to mess up a hotlink.

So far of the 3 locations I have to say that the one I tried in Shawnee was the best... The ribs I had that evening were some of the best restaurant ribs I've ever had. I gnawed the bones clean and considered ordering some more.

I was also at Vans in Norman last week. The ribs were a little dry like they were there all day. Other than that it was great. I have been to the one in Moore and won't be back. The food was not as good and the atmosphere was poor. I felt like i was eating in a mexican joint.

The hotel is Sooner Legends and I remember the billboards on the way up there now for the restaurant. The Legends Restaurant that I was referring to was the one that is just west of Berry, it is NOT a BBQ restaurant but they do have great food....or at least they did the last time that I ate there about 20 years ago.
